Uh, Slattern definitely did survive a nuke to the face...
Which one was that?
Man, I'd like to see the Iron Giant (in full combat mode, of course) go up against a couple of PR kaijuu. Assuming, at least, the IG had no compunctions about killing giant monsters.
I'm guessing that with his 'go away' hand cannon and whatever that thing in his chest was, he snipes them from long range.
Assuming he has a chance to snipe. Dem kaijuu seem to love sneak attacks and are surprisingly good at them.
True, though he survived a nuke to the face, which they notably didn't.
Good point. However, a new weakness reveals itself: the Giant falls apart quite easily compared to Jaegers or kaijuu. While he seems nearly invulnerable to bullets, a simple impact from a train was enough to break him into a dozen parts. Imagine what Knifehead could do - bear in mind, this kaijuu ripped Gipsy Danger a new one and Gipsy later survived a fall from the upper atmosphere mostly unscathed. Unless IG's combat form is much tougher, anyway.
True, but his parts just detached from one another, not actually got broken.
But really if IG were in the Pacific Rim universe he wouldn't need to go in the water to fight the Kaijuu, he'd just green energy nuke the Kaijuu from several miles out when it first surfaces.
