Mechagodzilla (The Monster King Universe)

Mechagodzilla is a mechanical version of Godzilla that appears in the sequel to Godzilla: The Monster King, called Godzilla: The False King. He is the main antagonist in the story and appears the most out of any of the kaiju in Godzilla: The False King, as he starts off in his Fake Godzilla disguises, but eventually reveals himself as the mech underneath. Mechagodzilla is a super deadly opponent and is under the control of the Xiliens, specifically X. Mechagodzilla made his final appearance in Godzilla Reawoken, where his destroyed parts would be remade into Mech-G and Mecha-King Ghidorah.

## Name

Mechagodzilla is simply just adding on the phrase mecha, for a mechanical beast, and Godzilla, turning it into Mechagodzilla.

## Design

Mechagodzilla has an extremely mechanical and robotic monster, very similar to to Showa Mechagodzilla and Kiryu. Mechagodzilla has large spikes on the top and bottom of his jaws, which are basically just disguised missiles. He has the eyes from the first three versions of Mechagodzilla and has weaponized long nostrils. Mechagodzilla has multiple patterns of squares on his face. He has two lines going across his large and curved lower jaw, surrounding two opening flaps. His neck has a V-shaped neck with bolts around the neck. He has multiple pieces of armour with opening plates, lines and bolts. Mechagodzilla's arms are extremely mechanical, with wires, surrounding armour and multiple joints. The hands have circles in the middle with bolts and the fingers are articulated. These fingers split open and can reveal missiles. Mechagodzilla's torso have a hatch and multiple mechanical parts. His legs are very similar to his arms, only larger to support his weight.

## Personality

Unlike his prototypes, Mechagodzilla isn't actually a sentient being and is permanently controlled by the Xiliens. The Xilien, or X in particular, are physically linked together when they control Mechagodzilla. Because of this, Mechagodzilla will act exactly the same as the creature controlling him, which is why he can go from cold and unfeeling to fearful to aggressive.

## Origin

After four failed experiments, in 1982, Mechagodzilla would be created to conquer Earth and defeat Godzilla.

## History

### Constructing a Mechagodzilla

Mechagodzilla is the main focus of Constructing a Mechagodzilla, currently under construction. Some of Mechagodzilla's abilities are realised here, mainly his

### Godzilla: The False King

In the year of 1984, twenty years after the defeat of King Ghidorah and the last appearance of Godzilla, Mechagodzilla appeared in a Fake Godzilla disguise and destroyed a small town next to a cliff. Fake Godzilla then swam off into the ocean, but was attacked by three jets. Fake Godzilla destroyed all of the jets extremely quickly and swam off into the ocean, however, one of the missiles hit Fake Godzilla on the side of neck, causing the roar mimic to falter at the end. Godzilla swam into the ocean and encountered Manda, who aggressively roared at the faker. Fake Godzilla swam back onto the surface and walked towards the city, however, he ran back into the water when he heard a mysterious roar, which turned out to be Godzilla's.

Fake Godzilla then reappeared in the outback of Australia, which was unusual to the scientists studying what they thought to be Godzilla. A flying machine called the Super X was deployed with four people piloting, including Dr. Kagaku-sha and Albert Ōsutin. The Super X met up with Fake Godzilla and shot missiles filled with anti-radiation coagulant into Fake Godzilla's mouth. However, due to the fact that it was a mecha, Fake Godzilla wasn't effected in the slightest and he walked away. This confused the scientists even more. As this was going on, the real Godzilla was tracking down Mechagodzilla.

Fake Godzilla then reappeared when multiple battleships and jets were summoned to defeat him. Fake Godzilla quickly disposed of the first wave of boats by rising from the deep ocean onto the ships, biting down on one of them and throwing them into the air. Fake Godzilla swam to more shallow waters so he could properly stand and looked at the ships. Fake Godzilla destroyed all of the boats and moved onto the jets, also destroying them. Fake Godzilla looked around and swam back into the ocean. As the scientists were trying to figure out what Godzilla had been doing, the Shobijin arrived and told the humans what Fake Godzilla was, a fake. The humans asked the Shobijin if they could send Mothra to fight Fake Godzilla, but the Shobijin knew Mothra would loose and die. The Shobijin asked if the humans could lure Fake Godzilla towards Godzilla. Dr. Kagaku-sha and Albert Ōsutin got into the upgraded Gotengo and swam off.

The Gotengo swam next to the entrance of the Hollow Earth and baited Fake Godzilla into the trap. Fake Godzilla fell for the bait and quickly swam towards the machine. However, the real Godzilla appeared and chased the fake into the Hollow Earth. Fake Godzilla surfaced and revealed himself to be the mech underneath. Godzilla and Mechagodzilla briefly battled, however, Mechagodzilla took the win, throwing Godzilla into the surrounding water, however, Godzilla hit Mechagodzilla with his Spiral Beam, knocking Mechagodzilla into the mountains. Mechagodzilla tried to get up but Manda bit down on his neck, destroying the mech even more. However, a mysterious ship beamed Mechagodzilla up and flew away.

The flying machine in question was the Xilien ship, and they were rebuilding the damaged Mechagodzilla. Just as the rebuilding process was complete, Mechagodzilla was sent to the battle arena inside the ship were the first four prototypes of Mechagodzilla were. Mechagodzilla battled against the leader, MG-004. MG-004 fired his Death Scream at Mechagodzilla, who quickly dodged. Mechagodzilla took short work and quickly defeated his prototype, walking away after making an example of MG-004. The Xiliens then beamed Mechagodzilla down to the Japanese city of Fukushima. Mechagodzilla made quick work of the city, turning it from a beautiful landscape to a fiery landscape. Mechagodzilla's reign of terror was cut short when Godzilla arrived to battle Mechagodzilla. The fight was longer than the first, but like before, Mechagodzilla gained the upper hand. He nearly killed Godzilla when the Mechagodzilla Amalgamation, a hybrid of the Mechagodzilla prototypes, beamed itself down and helped Godzilla in his battle, severely damaging Mechagodzilla. However, Mechagodzilla unleashed his swords, cutting the amalgamate in half before burning him. Mechagodzilla didn't live for much longer, as Godzilla was furious. Godzilla ripped off his head, revealing a spare head with small, needle-like legs. The spare head crawled around Godzilla, who bit down on the spare head using his fangs, destroying the head and killing Mechagodzilla.

### Godzilla Reawoken

At the start of Godzilla Reawoken, it is revealed to humanity that inside Mechagodzilla was the decapitated left head of King Ghidorah, San. Mechagodzilla's parts would be reused for Mecha-King Ghidorah and Mech-G.

## Powers & Abilities

### Death Scream

Like how Godzilla has his Atomic Breath, Mechagodzilla has his Death Scream. The Death Scream, on the surface, is just a red Atomic Breath, although the appearance is more different, as more energy particals will be dispersed, making the beam more effective in its sheer power. However, the main difference of the beam is clear when you realized that it is not radioactive like Godzilla's. The death scream is composed of protons that are specifically designed to inflict as much pain as possible, which is why more energy particals are dispersed. The Death Scream also is meant to effect mechanical opponents, briefly short-circuiting the machine, allowing Mechagodzilla to gain the upper hand.

### Durability/Armour

Mechagodzilla is an incredibly durable by himself, as he is made of extremely durable space metal. He can tank an extreme amount of punishment, as Godzilla was punching it and throwing him around. Even the Atomic Breath wasn't able to destroy the pure metal parts of Mechagodzilla. However, this durability is increased when you take into account the pieces of armour on Mechagodzilla's chest. These pieces of armour actually have two purposes. The first and most obvious is to protect Mechagodzilla from any attacks hit in the chest. The second use is a more interesting one, as the armour is used to keep all the energy used to fire his beam weapons inside Mechagodzilla. While the armour is extremely durable, the armour is weak to the Mechagodzilla Amalgamation's own finger missiles.

### Flamethrower Nostrils

Because he didn't have enough ranged weapons, Mechagodzilla can fire flamethrowers from his nostrils. Mechagodzilla used these to burn the destroyed Mechagodzilla Amalgamation.

### Jaws

Mechagodzilla has extremely large and powerful jaws that rival Godzilla. His jaws were designed to crush enemy bones and tear of flesh. Mechagodzilla has

### Jet Propellers

While not shown, Mechagodzilla has jet propellers he can use to run faster and fly, along with swimming.

### Learning Algorithms

Due to King Ghidorah's left head inside of him, Mechagodzilla can learn to adapt to his enemies and change his fighting style extremely quickly.

### Maser Beams

Mechagodzilla can fire blue beams and yellow similar to lightning called Maser Beams. The hatches on the side of Mechagodzilla's jaw line actually open up to reveal solar panels that fire the Maser Beams from the panels. The Maser Beams act like King Ghidorah's Gravity Beams, digging up rubble, dirt, soil, street and concrete. While not mentioned that they are Maser Beams, the lightning that Mechagodzilla fires from his chest is also a Maser Beam, although it is possibly the most powerful of his ranged beams.

### Missiles

Some of Mechagodzilla's favourite ranged weapons are missiles, and he has a lot of them. The most used and famous are his finger missiles, where he splits he fingers in half, revealing the missiles underneath. These fingers are the easiest to use, but are the weakest out of all of his missiles. Mechagodzilla also has toe missiles, which are basically the same as the finger missiles, though slightly stronger. Mechagodzilla's most powerful missiles are actually the giant spikes on his chin, top of his jaw and back of his head. The are much less mobile than the other missiles but are easily the most powerful, as they could deal extremely ridicules amount of damage. All of these missiles are instantly replaced, as Mechagodzilla has a missile factory inside of him.

### Physical Strength

In terms of raw power, Mechagodzilla is physically one of the strongest monsters in the entire universe, only beat out by the strongest of the strong, such as Godzilla and King Ghidorah. Some of his weaker feats are still incredibly impressive, for example, are when he flipped battleships simply by standing up. However, Mechagodzilla has shown some ridiculously powerful feats he has shown in his battle with Godzilla and the Mechagodzilla Amalgamation. He was able to throw around Godzilla without even struggling or straining. He was even able to throw Godzilla hard enough to go through mountains. His leg power was also able to crush MG-004's endoskeleton. Mechagodzilla's strength is increased by King Ghidorah's left head.

### Self-Repair

In Godzilla: The False King, when Godzilla ripped Mechagodzilla apart limb by limb, Mechagodzilla was able to construct himself back together. This ability does have some drawbacks, as if you rip of less specific parts like the torso, Mechagodzilla can't pull himself back together. This ability was created so Mechagodzilla could keep himself together without constantly falling apart.

### Spare Head

When Godzilla tore off Mechagodzilla's head, it was revealed that Mechagodzilla had a spare head. This head could fire a powerful beam, as well as having eight tiny needle-like legs that allowed Mechagodzilla to move around, even once his body was completely destroyed.

### Swords

Mechagodzilla has gauntlets on his wrists that can unleash large swords. These swords are precise enough to cleanly cut through the Mechagodzilla Amalgamation and were clearly a threat towards Godzilla.

### Tail Blade

On top of Mechagodzilla's tail is a massive blade similar to his swords, only much larger and thicker. The blade has parts that allow it to bend so his tail can actually move. The blade can be used on the tail, however, Mechagodzilla can take off the blade and use it like a cross between his sword and daggers. This was shown when Mechagodzilla rammed the blade into Godzilla, instantly impaling Godzilla and causing the beast to bleed out.

## Weaknesses

### Dependency on Control

Unlike the prototypes, Mechagodzilla has no free will and must be controlled by the Xiliens. However, this means that if his control with the Xiliens or King Ghidorah is severed, Mechagodzilla will just stand there, deactivated. While Kevin, Ghidorah's left head, will help with connection, but still, he can be disconnected.

## Trivia

* The missiles on Mechagodzilla's face that resemble spikes are a reference to the giganotosaurus from the video game Ark: Survival Evolved.
* The spikes on Mechagodzilla's nostrils aren't actually missiles like the other spikes on his face, instead, they are basically his fangs.
* Mechagodzilla's face doesn't really resemble the details of Godzilla's face, at least from the Monster King Universe. In Footyzilla1321's one off, Godzilla: Doom and Destruction, the version of Godzilla that appears in the series has a face that much more closely resembles Mechagodzilla.
* Mechagodzilla has the decapitated head of Kevin inside of him. The is basically what happens in Godzilla vs Kong, where the skeleton of Kevin's head was used to pilot Mechagodzilla.
* Mechagodzilla was meant to stand at a staggering 134 metres tall, but when he was meant to disguise as Godzilla, his size was reduced to 118 metres.
* Mechagodzilla was originally meant to be much more mechanical and robotic.
* Mechagodzilla's eyes turning red when enraged is a reference to Kiryu (Mechagodzilla III), who's eyes turn from yellow to red when possessed by the ghost of Godzilla.
