MechaGhidorah

**Mecha-King Ghidorah** (メカキングギドラ *Meka Kingu Gidora*) is a mechanically modified Ghidorah who appeared in the 1991 *Godzilla* film *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah*.

## History

### Showa era

Mecha-King Ghidorah is (quite obviously) a cyborg.

### Heisei era

#### *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah*

Mecha-King Ghidorah in *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah*
After defeating King Ghidorah and sending it to the depths of the Sea of Okhotsk, Godzilla began to wreck havoc throughout Japan. Emmy Kano, a Futurian who rebelled against her crew, and M11, her android, were asked if King Ghidorah could be revived in the 23rd century. If possible, he could be brought back to the present and used as an anti-Godzilla weapon to protect Japan. Emmy and M11 agreed and went to the future using the time machine KIDS.

As Godzilla continued his rampage through the center of Tokyo, Mecha-King Ghidorah materialized in a flash of pulsing energy. Piloted by Emmy and reinforced with several robotic segments, Mecha-King Ghidorah was more powerful than before. Mecha-King Ghidorah fired his gravity beams and triple laser beam at Godzilla, sending him crashing toward some buildings. Godzilla managed to regain his balance and damage both of Mecha-King Ghidorah's wings. Emmy then fired Mecha-King Ghidorah's energy-conducting capture cables and released its machine hand restraint. Mecha-King Ghidorah lifted Godzilla into the sky and over the sea, but both were sent crashing into the waves when Godzilla fired his atomic breath at it. Emmy quickly escaped in KIDS, leaving both monsters trapped on the ocean floor. At first, it seemed as if M11's circuitry was still onboard the cyborg, but it turned out that he had been hastily rescued by Emmy before escaping in KIDS.

Meanwhile, beneath the surface of the sea, Godzilla fired his atomic breath and freed himself from Mecha-King Ghidorah's grasp and left it behind, ensuring he would return to menace Japan again.

#### *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II*

in this film Mecha-King Ghidorah's damaged head is seen by G-Force and help to make Mechagodzilla! in *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II*
The 23rd century technology G-Force salvaged from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah played a major role in the construction of Mechagodzilla.

## Abilities

### Antigravity flight

Mecha-King Ghidorah can fly at a speed of Mach 4 using anti-gravity generated by devices in the armor around his ankles. Because of this, his wings are not actually required for flight and instead serve as solar panels, allowing him to fly even after his wings are badly damaged. Mecha-King Ghidorah prefers to attack by hovering overhead at a low speed and firing his weapons.

### Gravity Beams and Laser Beam

Mecha-King Ghidorah can fire **Gravity Beams** (引力光線 *Inryoku Kōsen*), or **Plasma Gravity Beams** (プラズマ引力光線 *Purazuma Inryoku Kōsen*), from his organic left and right heads, while the mechanical central head fires a triple **Laser Beam** (レーザー光線 *Rēzā Kōsen*), from its **Gravity Laser Cannon**. In *Godzilla Island*, in which all of Mecha-King Ghidorah's heads are mechanical, he fires the triple laser beam from all three heads. In *Godzilla: Domination!*, his beams are replaced by fireballs.

### Electrified bite

Mecha-King Ghidorah's organic heads can deliver an electrical shock through their bite.

### Godzilla Capture Devices and Machine Hand

Mecha-King Ghidorah is equipped with four electrified capture cables, called **Godzilla Capture Devices** (ゴジラ捕獲装置 *Gojira Hokaku Sōchi*), and a large **Machine Hand** (マシンハンド *Mashin Hando*) which he can use to restrain Godzilla. These are strong enough for Mecha-King Ghidorah to be able to fly over large distances with Godzilla in tow, as seen in both *Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.*

### Time Warp

With the time machine KIDS built into him and serving as his escape pod, Mecha-King Ghidorah is able to perform independent **Time Warps** (タイムワープ *Taimu Wāpu*), allowing him to arrive in the year 1992 from 2204. If the cyborg is badly damaged, KIDS is able to launch from him, carrying pilot Emmy Kano and M11's A.I. inside.

### Weaknesses

Mecha-King Ghidorah is very large and slow-moving, with some delay experienced between commands given by Emmy and the cyborg's actions. As such, he is outmatched by Godzilla at close-range and is better suited to attacking by hovering from a distance. If Mecha-King Ghidorah's cockpit is hit, Emmy may be susceptible to harm and is at one point knocked unconscious. Mecha-King Ghidorah's cybernetics are vulnerable to Godzilla's atomic breath, with repeated blasts dealing severe damage to the cyborg's mechanical parts and a final focused blast to the chest putting him out of commission. Mecha-King Ghidorah is forced to retreat in *Godzilla: Rulers of Earth* after Godzilla uses Anguirus as a flail to strike him directly in the chest.

In *Godzilla: Rulers of Earth*, Mecha-King Ghidorah's organic heads can override control from the mechanical central head, allowing him to break free of Minette and Mallory's psychic control and abandon the Cryogs.

EX. Mecha-King Ghidorah plummets into the ocean after being critically damaged by Godzilla's atomic breath.

## Roar

Mecha-King Ghidorah uses the same modified Rodan roars as the organic Heisei King Ghidorah, with the addition of more mechanical-sounding roars emitted by the central head. Mecha-King Ghidorah's roar was used for a space dragon in *Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger*.
