So I Just saw Pacific Rim with a friend of mine. We were inspired to make competing ddecks. He choose the easy route of going with Omnath and big green ramp with eldrazis. That represented the kaiju. It is actually pretty damn competitive. So what can I use as a general to compete with that? I was thinking of running Bosh, Iron Filename as my general since he is the closest thing that resembles a Jaeger. Someone gave me a metric ton of snow covered lands as well as a extraplanar lens since he wqs quitting magic. So I am leaning toward mono red for sure haha. I'm open to other suggestions as long as they fit the theme and help me win haha. But I am strongly trying for mono red.
For those that never seen the movie Jaegers are big robots like gundams and Kaiju are Just big monsters much like our Eldrazis.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
Bosh Voltron seems like a perfect fit for the fighting robot theme you want. Suit up in honor of an iconic robot to smack opponents in the face. Not dead yet? Fling all your toys at them and Bosh himself to represent the "we have no option but to self-destruct" ending that usually happens with films and anime involving robots.

I don't want to go all in on the bottom theme as I have one already in my geist of saint traft deck but you reminded me of the kaldra pieces which is very mecha like. Maybe something as silly as bludgeon brawl can be used to describe what u said.

I love bosh for your deck. But for the kaiju I feel as though beast tribal is the way to go since they are so varied in size/shape. Perhaps with a simic theme because
they are artificially created
. Also after seeing that movie I was compelled to find my copy of Cliffrunner Behemoth because one of the kaiju reminded me of it. Might be a consideration.
shame that sundering titan is banned. it would make a good jaeger.
Look for a bunch of golem creatures. Maybe some constructs as well. And then pick some humans to use as "pilots" for the jaegars. And throw in some land destruction maybe, coz those things wrecked the place haha
Haha, I'm actually in the process of making some pacific rim alters for my Kozilek deck Blightsteel Colossus will be Crimson Typhoon Sundering Titan (however, retired) will be Cherno Alpha (unless I find an old card frame for a titan to represent cherno)
And the Eldrazi represent Kaiju.
I find them the most fitting due to not knowing much where or what they came from/created them and they're there to wipe out the world.
urza's rage looks like a kaiju is about to get owned. i think golems make good jaegers? precursor golem can be crimson typhoon, powerful but easy to kill apparently. karn, silver golem and karn liberated seem like good robots too. i also second all the darksteel/blightsteel colossus ideas
Definitely love the ideas that you guys ate suggesting! I would like to find a couple of human or human looking bad asses to go along with the Jaegers. Fumiko seems like a good match for the female protagonist. Not sure what card I can find for the male protagonist though. Kamhal doesn't seem like it would be a good fit. Some good looking blonde dude in red?

Bosh does seem like the best, but there are other possibilities. Maybe Jareth, Leonin Titan. He get huge when he blocks and is mechanically sort of like a Jaeger. His art isn't like a Jaeger though. Gin-Jitaxias sort of looks like a Jaeger, even if he does look a little evil. Karn is a possibility. Mono brown is a little difficult, but not impossible. Honestly Kozilek looks more like a Jaeger than a Kaiju. Mageta the lion is another huge dude that could be a Jaeger. Mechanically his ability would work well with the Kaiju.

you could try godo, bandit warlord. he even fetches something you can throw with bosh

Godo is going in for sure because he is useful. Not sure if he would represent the main protagonist. Definitely a candidate for perhaps crimson typhoon pilot.

As for the Bosh deck?
Vulshok Battlemaster
Smash a player down wearing Everything.
Everything.
Magnetic Theft
Savage Beating
Other good equipment wearers in Red
R/W Jor Kadeen could work, with all the cards that love getting equipped like Kor Duelist Auriok Edgewright Boros Swiftblade Fencing Ace Mirran Crusader Silverblade Paladin Skyhunter Skirmisher
Double strike is so good for getting multiple combat triggers off equipments.
Beating Face with Bane
Beatrice, the Golden Witch

Niv-Mizzet Ramp 'n' Wheel
Godo: Strap him up and turn him sideways!
Blightsteel Colossus will be Crimson Typhoon
Sundering Titan (however, retired) will be Cherno Alpha (unless I find an old card frame for a titan to represent cherno)
And the Eldrazi represent Kaiju.

Gerrard Capashen seems a great hero type character.
if for some reason you're doing grixis, Crosis Attendant (iron man) would be cool
