* Megazord vs Mechagodzilla (Toho)
* Dragonzord vs Mechagodzilla (Toho)

## History

The creation of the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens, Mechagodzilla was the centerpiece in their planned invasion of Earth. The magnificent machine was released from the crater of Mount Fuji wearing a Godzilla disguise, and made its way to Tokyo. Once it reached Tokyo, the impostor was attacked by the real Godzilla, who quickly revealed its true colors. Mechagodzilla was damaged in the ensuing fight with Godzilla, but was repaired and sent to destroy King Caesar at Okinawa. Godzilla returned and aided King Caesar, and together they were able to destroy Mechagodzilla. A year later, Mechagodzilla was rebuilt by the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens and re-christened Mechagodzilla 2, and was unleashed on Tokyo once again, this time aided by the monster Titanosaurus, controlled by the deranged earthling scientist Shinzo Mafune. Godzilla rose to battle his robotic doppelganger a second time, but found himself badly outmatched against two foes. However, with the aid of humanity and the sacrifice of Katsura Mafune, Godzilla was able to triumph once again.

* Broke Anguirus' jaws
* Overpowered the full body weight charge of King Caesar
* Got King Caesar off him with just a smack

* Sent Anguirus soaring with only a horizontal chop
* Smacked Godzilla so hard, it disoriented his aim
* Its Cross Attack Beam cut a small mountain in half
* Its all-out assault knocked Anguirus out in a bloody mess to the point he looked dead
* Dodged its own Space Beams
* Easily dodged Godzilla’s Atomic Breath by flying upwards
* Can fly at Mach 5
* Despite getting tackled by Godzilla, tagged several jets with its Space Beams
* Despite Anguirus dodging his Cross Attack Beam, immediately tagged him from behind
* While Godzilla was sent flying and bleeding, only fell onto the ground with damaged head controls after its Space Beams stalemated Godzilla’s Atomic Breath
* Was barely affected when King Caesar deflected its own Space Beams though it did weaken its armor a bit
* Godzilla’s Atomic Breath barely damaged it

### Weaknesses

* Relatively slow when on-foot
* While a capable melee fighter, it prefers to attack from a distance
* With the second model, it can be overpowered in hand to hand combat
* Its disguise can be easily destroyed
* A beam clash with Godzilla damaged its Cybaneck, rendering it inoperable and needed to be repaired
* Was destroyed when Godzilla tore its head off, except for the second model
* With the second model it is controlled by Katsura, meaning if she is destroyed then Mechagodzilla will be vulnerable
* The loss of its Unisot would leave it unable to fly properly, due to its dual function as a flight stabilizer
