  • Bush.

  • Welcome to watch Mojo.

  • And today we're looking at Mecca.

  • Godzilla's origins explain firing Missiles.

  • Fire Yeah, Godzilla has fought plenty of giant opponents over his long history, so an enemy has to be particularly special to stand out in the Kaiju Roguesgallery.

  • Fortunately for Mecha Godzilla, it's interesting.

  • Origins, powerful abilities and memorable introduction made it iconic when it was introduced into cinemas before.

  • And there's plenty of reasons why this character could make its mark after Godzilla versus Kong is released.

  • So let's explore it, shall we?

  • Ironically enough, MEChA Godzilla might never have come to be if it wasn't for King Kong.

  • Almost a decade before the robotic monster appeared on screen, a mechanical Kong was introduced for the first time on the King Kong show.

  • Careful, Oh yeah, The robotic ape then battled the original Kong and cinemas during 1967 King Kong escapes this mechanic.

  • Kong eventually helped Godzilla producer Tomoyuki Tanaka to come up with the idea for MEChA Godzilla, and the timing couldn't be more perfect.

  • Godzilla first roared on the screens in 1954 with his 20th anniversary approaching fast.

  • Toho, the company behind Godzilla, was trying to figure out who their king should fight against.

  • One of their top ideas was all about aliens in their original draft, a group of aliens and a large mechanical monster named Guru gone down to Earth to wreak havoc.

  • This'll new Enemy could only be stopped if Godzilla teamed up with two of his Kaiju allies, Mothra and and Eras.

  • At some point in the editing stage, Guru Gone and this storyline were tossed into the scrap heap.

  • But aspects of its story were recycled and utilized for Mecca, Godzilla's debut thing Attraction.

  • It's a 1974 Godzilla celebrated his 20th anniversary with his 14th film, Godzilla versus Mecha.

  • Godzilla during the film were introduced to the Black Hole Planet.

  • Three aliens by YouTube or alcohol by some works.

  • You know, excuse if we should regardless, yeah, but it was using the's Extraterrestrial creatures looked like green humanoid apes.

  • Maybe they're Kong's really distant cousins, Whether they're related to or inspired by the ape the black hole planet.

  • Three aliens plan to take over Earth by building a monster that no one could stop.

  • Thank you.

  • They use their extraterrestrial space titanium to build a creature that resembled Godzilla.

  • But They also use their disguising technology to make their mechanical beast look like the real thing.

  • With their creature ready to rampage, they send it out into the world.

  • When we do this to us has got us now.

  • Tha first enemy Mecha, Godzilla faced was Godzilla's ally and gear ISS.

  • This'll friend of Godzilla had a spiky exterior, massive strength and a dangerous tail.

  • Although Angara's gave it his all, he barely tickled Mecha Godzilla after the mechanical beast literally kicks him up and down the battlefield and Gear is has forced to run away and recover from his wounds.

  • His defeat proved right away that Mecha Godzilla was a huge threat.

  • His danger level was truly confirmed when the mechanical monster faced off against the original excuse.

  • When Godzilla confronts his artificial doppelganger, it becomes clear to everyone in universe that something strange is going on.

  • Don't turn it.

  • In the midst of the battle, the black hole planet three aliens decided to drop Mecca Godzilla's disguise and show the original Kaiju what their mecca can really dio Mecha.

  • Godzilla could fire missiles from its hands and feet, shoot rainbow lasers, create force fields and even fly despite the's huge advantages.

  • Godzilla was able to end their one on one battle and a stalemate that injured both fighters.

  • As MEChA Godzilla went in for repairs and Godzilla played around with lightning thief, humans worked on a new plan.

  • You know, which, you know, kind of oxygen turned around space junk that's on the show with her.

  • A prophecy foretold that two monsters would team up to save the world so a group of human bystanders fulfill a ritual to awaken a guardian Kaiju known as King Caesar way.

  • This new beast was a scrappy fighter who had the ability to redirect energy beams back at his enemies.

  • But his tremendous strength and special reflection skill weren't enough to take down MEChA Godzilla right before the mechanical beast sent the Guardian into a permanent slumber.

  • Godzilla resurfaced.

  • It looked like the team of Godzilla and King Caesar would be unstoppable at first.

  • But the sheer amount of weapons that MEChA Godzilla had at its disposal overwhelmed both Kaiju.

  • But luckily, Godzilla had a trick up its, um, clause.

  • Remember when we told you about Godzilla playing around with lightning earlier?

  • As it turns out, Godzilla's electric encounter gave him magnetic powers.

  • Hey uses these new abilities to pull MEChA Godzilla in and hold it in place after King Caesar get some well deserved payback against the giant MEChA.

  • Godzilla rips off the robotic I juice head, and then it explodes for good measure.

  • With MEChA Godzilla defeated, Godzilla returns to the ocean, waiting for his next challenger.

  • After its impressive debut, MEChA Godzilla was rebuilt so it could appear in to Toho movies that continued its storyline.

  • It's also made a handful of appearances in different parts of the Godzilla franchise.

  • MEChA Godzilla even appeared in a climactic scene and Steven Spielberg's Ready Player one.

  • Prior to Godzilla versus Kong.

  • There were a few hints that the villain would return to its monster movie roots again.

  • Jesus!

  • Good thing he's on our side for now.

  • During the closing credits of Godzilla, King of the Monsters, a newspaper article suggested that the Kaiju tracking agency monarch was building a mechanical creature.

  • After this Easter egg was discovered, the blueprints for an unknown project could be seen on a high tech computer screen.

  • The same trailer also appeared to give us our first very quick glimpse at a Godzilla sized metallic being.

  • But it was the plot of the trailer that really got longtime fans excited.

  • Godzilla's out there, and he's hurting people, and we don't know why.

  • As we mentioned before, MEChA, Godzilla was disguised as the original hero when it first stomped into the public and in a Godzilla versus calling trailer.

  • Godzilla is causing havoc, and nobody knows why.

  • There is something provoking him that we're not seeing here.

  • I'm about the same opinion.

  • But what if that giant beast we're seeing was actually Mecha Godzilla in disguise?

  • Not only would it be a great twist for a modern movie, but it opens up the possibility that Kong and Godzilla can team up to defeat a giant robot who wouldn't want to see these two giant monsters work together to rip off Mecca Godzilla's head about you.

  • Nobody could stop him.

  • Kong bows to no one.

  • But Even if that MEChA Godzilla storyline never comes to be, the character would still have a rich history.

  • It was created just in time to celebrate 20 years of Godzilla action.

  • Although it's alien Backstory was originally meant for a different Kaiju.

  • MEChA Godzilla took the odd origin story and made it its own.

  • Between its tremendous strength and wide range of abilities, it's always a fawn opponent to see pitted against Godzilla.

  • Hopefully, it'll be a staple character in future monster movies, no matter where it ends up, will always remember it as a mechanical beast that was perfectly designed to fit into pop culture history.

  • Yeah, yeah.

  • Do you agree with our picks?
