- —Mechagodzilla
Mechagodzilla, also known as Kiryu, is a mech from the Godzilla series. It appeared in the 114th episode of Death Battle, Dragonzord VS Mechagodzilla, where it and Akane Yashiro fought against Tommy Oliver and the Dragonzord from the Power Rangers series.
History
Japan's elite scientists have constantly sought to protect Japan from the ongoing march of invasive kaiju species, but they were halted in their tracks when a new creature burst from the sea: Godzilla. When what they had proved ineffective, they resorted to a new strategy. Through use of robotics and biology, they secured the bones of a previous Godzilla dating back to the mid-1950's and bio-engineered a mechanical exoskeleton around it, fitting it with weapons to compete with this new threat. This was Mechagodzilla, codename "Kiryu". However, when fighting Godzilla, his roar awakened the original Godzilla's restless spirit that was attached to Kiryu's skeleton, causing the machine to go berserk. Despite these flaws, under the piloting skills of Akane Yashiro, this iteration of Mechagodzilla would prove to be unlike any before it.
