This time around, Niko had us guessing what was a REAL Jaeger name from the Pacific Rim Universe, or a hilarious 2018 online Jaeger Maker joke. Yes, there was an official Jaeger builder, and yes, the Jaeger names in Pacific Rim are as dumb as something an online poster would come up with.

Below are the, sadly, not real Jaegers featured. Credit to their visionary creators!
