- —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 Green Ranger and the Dragonzord from the Power Rangers series.
History
Ever since Godzilla's devastating attack in 1954, Japan's elite scientists have constantly sought to protect their country from the ongoing march of invasive kaiju species. Decades later in 1999, their worst nightmare came true when out from the sea came a second Godzilla. When what they had proved ineffective, they resorted to a new strategy. Through use of robotics and biology, they secured the skeleton of the original Godzilla and bio-engineered a mechanical exoskeleton around it, fitting it with weapons to compete with this new threat. This was Mechagodzilla, codename "Kiryu". Though he proved to be effective, there was a fatal flaw; when fighting Godzilla, his roar would awaken the original Godzilla's restless spirit attached to Kiryu's skeleton, causing the machine to go berserk. However, thanks to the piloting skills of Akane Yashiro it would be brought back under control, going on to protect Japan time and time again.
