Tacit Ronin
“Similar to Coyote Tango, Tacit Ronin is lightly armored allowing for quicker movement and greater speed to evade any Kaiju attacks. Tacit Ronin is powered by a nuclear reactor and is armed with a pair of Fangblades mounted under each wrist, designed for close combat. When not in use the Fangblades retract backwards, with the blade tip retreating behind Tacit Ronin’s fists. “Cobra Strike” is one of its signature attack moves.“

December 15, 2015 - Romeo Blue is Launched
Romeo Blue, America’s second Jaeger, was first launched on December 15, 2015, to combat a Kaiju named Hardship. Romeo Blue overpowered the Kaiju using a piece of a beltway bridge as a melee weapon, earning its first of many kills. Romeo Blue would later fail to locate the Kaiju Knifehead at the ten-mile mark in Anchorage, leading to Gipsy Danger’s deployment the night Yancy Beckett was killed in action. Romeo Blue eventually met its end in Seattle, when a Kaiju smashed its Conn-Pod, killing both pilots. The Jaeger was then sent to Oblivion Bay.
