Transcript[]
(Leatherback rises from the sea)
The Narrator: We always thought that alien life would come from the stars.
(Cuts to a kaiju terrorizing a beach with citizens running away)
I don't know why they didn't in Battleship, Battle: L.A., Cloverfield or Godzilla.
(Surf music plays as Clover, the aliens and Godzilla have a party on the beach before all being attacked by military jets)
Just like those movies, these monsters came from the sea, too.
(Trespasser attacks the Golden Gate bridge, recreating a scene from Pacific Rim)
In order to fight monsters, we created monsters of our own. Or should I say, big wrestler robots with monster egos?
John Cena Jaeger: The robo-champ is here!
CM Punk Jaeger: I’m too cool for catchphrases!
(Title card)
Stacker Pentecost: Alright, listen up. We gotta defeat these monsters! Now each Jaeger is operated by two pilots in perfect sync with the robot.
