Protocol Kaiju

Protocol Kaiju is a larger mech, resembling a more massive version of the Samurai X Mech, employed by P.I.X.A.L.
==Background==
The mech makes its debut in The Kaiju Protocol. It was evidently created to deal with giant monsters such as have often plagued Ninjago. P.I.X.A.L. used it to battle the Preeminent, which had escaped from the Departed Realm and begun attacking Ninjago City. After an intense battle, in which the mech's arm was ripped off, P.I.X.A.L. plugged the mech directly into the city's power grid. The boost in energy allowed her to overpower the Preeminent, which she then dragged back to the Monastery of Spinjitzu.
Protocol Kaiju is equipped with an arm-mounted laser, HALO jets, missiles, a katana with an energy blade, and a circular blade on its right arm resembling that of the Samurai X Mech. The mech interfaced directly with P.I.X.A.L.'s systems, which made her plugging into Ninjago's power grid incredibly dangerous, as it had the potential to burn her out along with the mech. However, the flow of energy also allowed the mech to unleash an explosive kick that stunned the Preeminent.
In The Call of the Deep, P.I.X.A.L. made use of the mech to accompany Zane, flying in the ShuriCopter, on a rescue mission out on the Endless Ocean. Encountering a giant octopus attacking a ship, P.I.X.A.L. attempt to reason with the usually gentle creature only to be grabbed in its tentacles. A pulse of energy (revealed in Five Thousand Fathoms Down to be the result of attempts to awaken Wojira) affected the creature and caused the mech to short out, and it began to sink into the depths. Fortunately, P.I.X.A.L. was able to reactivate the mech through a method Nya had taught her: punching the control panel. This allowed the mech to return to the air above the ocean surface just in time to avoid being crushed by ocean pressure, and P.I.X.A.L. noted that she would consider pressurizing all the vehicles she and the Ninja used in the future.
In Farewell the Sea, the mech appears in the monastery vehicle bay being worked on by Pixal and Zane.
