It's feasible. Chau was able to cut through a Kaiju with a knife. Give Hulk and Thor a good sword each, drop them on the back of a Kaiju, and the Kaiju has no defense against them hacking it's head off. It may take a while, but the kaiju still can't do anything about it.

Except lay on their backs or stop drop and roll.

I doubt Ironman is susceptible to EMP. Gipsy Danger had a load of electronics in it's system (remember those holographic screens?)

They were analogic screens ahah

Gipsy Danger was so effective because it was nuclear powered. It was unaffected by the EMP.

It was nuclear powered but it had electronic systems as well. Kinda like how IM is powered by an arc reactor but had electronic systems as well.

But they specifically pointed out how Gipsy Danger wasn't in trouble from the EMP due to it being Nuclear iirc.

Rayeigh said something like "All Gypsy's system's are analog."

Their bases are analog , but the parts themselves are digital (obviously) !! IM 's base is analog too (arc reactor) but its system is digital.

Wrong. It's clearly pointed out that Gipsy's operating systems are analog and run on nuclear power(it's old school like that). That's why it took Leatherback's EMP with no problem, while Striker Eureka was shut down. Cherno Alpha would have been fine if it hadn't already been melted.

The fact is no matter what you say, in the movie Gipsy running on analog nuclear power is the explained and displayed reason Leatherback's EMP doesn't work on them, but it works on Striker Eureka which is entirely digital. An emp won't work on it, period.

Yes, thing is IM isn't entirely digital. He is powered by an arc reactor which is why the EMP shouldn't work on him. Gipsy danger had an analog power source but it sure as hell wasn't pure analog, unless you consider holographic screens as analog.

I wasn't arguing that IM was susceptible to one. Only that Gipsy wasn't.

Oh, then I guess we might all be in agreement then. That if Gipsy is not susceptible to EMP (which he proved he wasn't) then IM shouldn't be as well due to them both having an analog power source.

The only way I see IM being effected could potentially be to the sheer size and potency of the EMP. Leatherback was absolutely massive. So that might be able to affect him, but it's doubtful.

Wait a minute. The other mechs also had reactors as power sources.

I don't remember it mentioned that they had nuclear reactors. From what I remember they were purely digital/electronic.

Yeah, they did. The Russian chick yells "Water is flooding the reactor" when they're getting crushed by the Kaiju. And I don't see how being digital has anything to do with the power source.

Cherno Alpha and Gipsy Danger were the only ones with Nuclear Reactors as they were much older models. Cherno would have survived the EMP as well, but Otachi had already melted a hole in it.

So what were the others powered by? Toshiba?

Gipsy Danger had an Arc-9 Analog reactor

Striker Eureka had an XIG Supercell Chamber(not analog)
