Welcome to The Drift in the latest Nerdist Presents! Taking a quick dance-break from preparing to save the world in the upcoming Pacific Rim Uprising, two eager Jaeger Pilots show off the newest in piloting technology to an enthusiastic crowd of PPDC Officials and Investors. The star of the show, however, is the Mark-6 Jaeger—known as Gipsy Avenger—who mimics every pop, lock and glide the pilots perform. Enjoy:
Catch Pacific Rim Uprising in theaters March 23!
