(You can tell. It has those plate things and it's kind of fat.)
Also, I found (in the end of the movie) what looks like 2 or 3 Cat. V Kaiju. They had these spines coming out of the back near the shoulders, a short tail, and an axe on it's head. It's there for about 0.8 seconds. Then, when the scientist drifted with Knifehead's brain, there's hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Knifehead templates.

MemberNoobMay-19-2014 8:07 PMWhen the Becket Brothers are warming up Gipsy for the fight with Knifehead, watch the hand units closely. You'll see that their fingers are inside of some sort of rings. I suspect that these are used to control Gipsy's fingers. However, there are two things about it that nag at me. Number 1: It's not clear how it can tell if it's changed hands. I suspect that each unit is intended to be tied to a particular side, but I can't be positive. Nag number 2: Notice how they come flying up. I suppose they could be launched by some mechanism. However, they come up at a fairly steady speed, right onto the fingers of the pilots. That seems too difficult to achieve in real life.
One other nitpick. During the same launch sequence, you can see some sort of clamp engaging around the wrists of the pilots. Where are they seconds later when you see the forearm armor of the pilots has the mo-cap arms slotted directly into them?
