Environmental Destruction
All kaiju should have High 6-A environmental destruction like Mega-Kaiju, as the Precursor’s plan even in the original film was to get the kaiju to fall in Mount Fuji to cause a chain reaction that would terraform the Earth. This is backed up as the PPDC could figure out that Raijin, Hakuja and Shrikethorn were going to Mt Fuji by using the traversal paths of the previous kaiju. EDIT: This scan from the Pacific Rim Uprising artbook further corroborates this.
Large Mountain level Self-Destruction + Slattern AP downgrade
Gipsy and Striker’s blades and self-destruction, as well as Slattern’s durability, should scale fully to High 7-A rather than just “likely” as the self destruction wasn’t just from the nuke but was a combination of the nuke and Striker’s power core exploding. There is precedent for this as Atlas Destroyer’s self destruction was capable of incinerating Breacher, a Cat VI kaiju said to be stronger than Copperhead who was stated to be an “Apex Predator” and a “Jaeger Hunter” as well as being referred to as “Jaeger Breaker” in the show, meaning he should be comparable if not stronger than Raijin who was already referred to as the most dangerous kaiju as well as kaiju capable of destroying Jaegers like Obsidian Furys and Saber Athenas (Raijin shouldn’t scale above Copperhead simply due to being a Category V, as Kaiju category is not linked to strength, it is linked to radioactivity, size and toxicity. This is shown by Knifehead being a Cat III, despite being stronger than Leatherback, a Cat IV) Atlas only ran on fuel cells rather than nuclear power. We know that most Jaegers are capable of self destruction since both Gipsy Danger and Atlas Destroyer were capable of doing it despite not having a nuclear bomb attached to them. Since the self destruction was non-nuclear, the current accepted value (2.464 Gigatons of TNT) would have to be divided by 2 meaning that they would scale to 1.232 Gigatons of TNT. Slattern’s AP however should be downgraded to High 7-C+, as he has no feats to suggest he is capable of harming characters with his own level of durability. This would put him in the category of “Stone Walls”.
Mega-Kaiju AP upgrade
Mega Kaiju should scale above the Drone jaegers beam as the artbook refers to it as “unstoppable” and “the Precursor’s ultimate weapon”, as well as calling it the “greatest threat the world has ever seen” which would put it at Island level+ (82.3248804971 Gigatons of TNT). The Mega Kaiju could also potentially get to Country level as the artbook describes it as being several (meaning at least 3) orders of magnitude above the highest levels of the Serizawa scale. This would put it at 9.87898565966 Teratons or 10^3 times more powerful than Crabcakes feat. This is supported by the fact that the Rippers which make up the Mega-Kaiju can apparently imbue kaiju with new biological defences and reenergise them. The only things that would scale to this would be Gipsy Avenger’s self destruction, as it was responsible for the death of the Mega-Kaiju and possibly Titan Redeemer/Bracer Phoenix’s M-19 Morning Star as it was capable of breaking off the Mega-Kaiju’s tusk. Edit: Obsidian Fury/Gipsy Avenger’s plasma chainsaws would also scale as they were capable of making the Mega-Kaiju bleed and leaving a visible wound (behind the front leg, near the bottom centre of the image) on it. This is consistent as Obsidian Fury is described as the “deadliest Jaeger”. Note: whilst Saber Athena’s blades do cut the Mega-Kaiju, the area they cut is one of the secondary brains which are implied to be less durable than the rest of Mega Kaiju.
Summary
All kaiju should get Multi-Continent level environmental destruction. Striker Eureka’s self destruction and all who scale should be Large Mountain level rather than just “Small city level, likely Large Mountain level”. However, Large Mountain level characters would only scale to half of the value of the calculation as the explosion was mainly caused by Striker’s reactor which is non-nuclear. Slattern’s AP should downgrade to Large Town level+. Mega-Kaiju should either scale to Island level+ or Country level as would Gipsy Avenger’s self-destruction and possibly Titan Redeemer’s/Bracer Phoenix’s M-19 Morningstar as well as Gipsy Avenger/Obsidian Fury’s plasma chainsaws.
