Team Crimson Typhoon

Team Crimson Typhoon: the Rangers, techs, and support staff for the Jaeger Crimson Typhoon.
==Quotes==
===Pacific Rim (2013)===
"Stacker Pentecost: Crimson Typhoon, China. One of the greatest. Assembled in Changzhou. Full titanium core alloys, fifty diesel engine per muscle strand. A deadly precise fighter. He's piloted by the Wei Tang brothers, triplets. They successfully defended the Hong Kong port seven times. They used the Thundercloud formation.
Raleigh Becket: Oh, yeah. Triple arm technique.
Stacker Pentecost: Very effective."
===Novelization===
Back in the Stone Age, in 2015, the first rough Jaeger prototype had used a single pilot. This hadn’t lasted long. The neural overload traumatized or killed several volunteers before the first full prototype rolled out on Kodiak Island with a Conn-Pod built for two. When the Pons mechanism was perfected and the Drift made possible, the Jaeger Project became a reality. All of the Jaegers since then had been designed from the ground up with two Ranger pilots in mind—except for Crimson Typhoon, a Chinese Jaeger, which Raleigh had heard was piloted by a crew of identical triplets. One of these days maybe he’d serve with them. It was something he’d like to see. (Chapter 1, ep 15)
He led Raleigh and Mako along a raised portion of the Shatterdome that looked down on maintenance bays and the radiating array of deployment tracks. Some kind of thumping synth beat boomed through the space, echoing so Raleigh couldn't tell where it came from at first.
[...]
“Crimson Typhoon, out of China.”
Raleigh recognized the unique design, with its bifurcated lower left arm giving the Jaeger three effective hands. (Chapter 6, Epage 95)
...
“Piloted by the Wei Clan,” Pentecost went on. “Triplets, the only ones we’ve ever been able to get to Drift together. They have successfully defended Hong Kong Port seven times. They use the Thundercloud formation. Very powerful. Hong Kong was Crimson Typhoon’s home base from its first mission.”
At the base of Crimson Typhoon the Wei triplets were doing something complicated with a basketball, dribbling and passing it in an intricate pattern near a hoop bolted to a stanchion. They shot once in a while, but the point of the game didn’t appear to be scoring. There was an ease and fluidity about it that was all the more surprising when Raleigh noticed that most of the time none of the three were looking at either of the other two.
Raleigh had no idea what the Thundercloud formation was, and Pentecost didn’t linger. (Chapter 6, Epage 97)
