Simply put, Mechagodzilla will mess you up. Always one of the most fearsome and dangerous of Godzilla’s rogues, he’s equally imposing as a villain in the original Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla or a hero in the Millennium series films as an anti-Godzilla deterrent. Unlike many of the other kaiju, he almost always come out on top at least once whenever he appears, and often it takes the combined might of several combatants to bring him down. His weaponry varies from film to film, but it’s always effective. He succeeds where so many of the “evil counterpart” monsters fail by having his own unique visual aesthetic while still evoking Godzilla, the greatest monster of them all.
