PacRim 2 plot capsule:
The masters of the kaiju make another assault upon Earth. While they are masters of bioshaping their titanic minions, they now begin to move into the realm of biological and technological fusion, creating massive hybrids of kaiju and machine that closely resemble the Jaegers themselves - better to combat the Jaegers on their own terms.
Meanwhile, the unified government on Earth has collapsed in the wake of the Wall of Life disasters. The Jaeger Corps, with their understrength and barely held-together machines, have divided among five new global hyperpowers With pilots signing on to the powers who offer the best terms of service, they are the neo-aristocracy, granted lands and titles as long as they agree to fight where and when they are commanded.
It is revealed that the Kaiju Masters are not some monolithic, species-wide hive mind, but are instead divided into tribal subgroupings (each with their own Hive Mind), each with their own Breach through which to invade. As the plot progresses, via the mindlink established by Dr. Newton Geiszler in the first film, we learn that only four of these tribes, or "Clans", are prosecuting the invasion of Earth, each with their own special moniker (the prideful Emerald Kestrels, the bloodthirsty Mist Leopards, and so forth). With their incredible new technology, the Kaiju Masters overrun much of the Asiatic Combine from the Pacific, and the German Commonwealth via the Baltic Breach.
Will the five hyperpowers and their JaegerWarriors be able to overcome their mutual loathing and join together to repel the Invaders, or will Terra fall before the Invasion? Find out, in Pacific Rim 2: Clan Invasion!
