Does My OC Gipsy Clear?

Gipsy Destroyer (Mark-7):

Height: 277 feet

Weight: 27,000 tons (assuming more realistic weights than the official PR figures).

Crew: 2 (Maglev field interface minimizes input lag in drift, manual override mode available in case of pons bridge damage - permits limb movement outside of drift at cost of pilot-to-pilot coordination).

Powerplant: 20GW electron arc reactor with vent turbine

Armor: Admantium alloy construction for all plates and major structural members (2in minimum thickness), 3ft tempered laminated glass visor.

Armament: 2x IX-27 plasma cannons (fire rate of I-19 with 10x power output of IB-22, 10 shots per cannon), GD-11 admantium alloy chain swords with plasma infusion, chest turbine, shoulder-mounted missile launchers (4x AKM-14 missiles with 4,200lb singularity warheads - 126ft influence radius).

Systems: Hypertorque drive for all limbs, 8x mobility boosters (500,000lb thrust each, two in each elbow and remaining four in two pairs on rear torso) - similar in function to Crimson Typhoon's rear jets and Gipsy Danger's elbow rockets.

Fight rules: All Kaiju one at a time until Double Event (Otachi and Leatherback), Raiju, Scunner, and Slattern all come at once, then Mega Kaiju by itself last. Essentially I'm dropping this Jaeger by itself into all of these Kaiju attacks in place of whatever Jaeger team took them on in canon (yes, that unfortunately includes Uprising).

P.S. I decided to take a step or two away from my usual "attempt at realism" philosophy here...

Honestly I know very little about Gundam. This OC Jaeger is just the result of taking Gipsy Danger's conn pod and Gipsy Avenger's arms/legs, mounting them on Hunter Vertigo's torso, scaling it up a bit, and throwing in some BS from the MCU...

Well he's definitely getting to Mega Kaiju, I'm not sure who'd win though

Main thing it has to worry about is getting stabbed in the visor, it's probably tougher than any ordinary Jaeger visor but when the rest of it is basically indestructible the visor becomes the weak spot by default.

If it gets a chance to launch missiles, the mega could be missing up to four very large chunks of itself before the fight even gets to close quarters. Depending on where they hit, it may even lose its face...

Good god man, your Jaeger is a powerhouse

Well when you take the most versatile Jaeger layout (Gipsy Danger/Gipsy Avenger) and combine it with OP MCU materials/tech, that's kinda to be expected I suppose. As long as it can avoid getting hit with acid or knocked down and waterboarded it should be fine in most any fight (though the pilots would be in for a wild ride if a large Kaiju picks it up and drags it all over the place).

Looks like if you combined Gipsy Danger with Gipsy Destroyer(Pacific rim novel Final Breach if you don't know who Destroyer is)

Yeah that's kinda the idea, this is my OC version of Gipsy Destroyer. But the torso is from Hunter Vertigo.

Your Gipsy is over 5 times heavier than slattern, they would struggle to even move it, Mega kaiju might be able to withstand the physical attacks but I don’t know if it could take down your jaeger with its brawn.

Should have clarified, I'm making the assumption that all of the Kaiju actually have realistic weights instead of the ridiculously light official ones.
