Bio: The most powerful foe to match that of Godzilla’s, Mechagodzilla has been built and rebuilt as a deterrence to the King of the Monsters and equally for invasions of planet Earth. Mechagodzilla is armed with the most, and the highest caliber, weaponry, and had rigid silver armor created to be reminiscent of the Samurai of Edo japan. Mechagodzilla II and it’s successor, Kyriu, were build by Earth Defense Forces as a Godzilla countermeasure. With larger master cannons, and eventual incorporation of Godzilla’s DNA into it’s systems, Mechagodzilla is the opponent that has come closest to absolutely destroying Godzilla by way of battle.
