Cyber Godzilla

Template:Ktab Template:TV Kaiju Infobox Cyber-Godzilla (サイバーゴジラ,   Saibā Gojira, lit. Cyber Godzilla) is a cybernetic Template:Kaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the 1999 Godzilla: The Series episode, Monster Wars: Part 2.

Name

Cyber-Godzilla's name comes from "cyber," referring to the monster's status as a cyborg, and "Godzilla." The nickname "Cyber-Zilla" comes from the fact the TriStar Godzilla's design was later trademarked as a new character called "Zilla" by Toho.

Personality

Cyber-Godzilla is completely under the control of the Tachyon aliens, though he is still able to recognize the second Godzilla as his son.

Origins

Cyber-Godzilla is the original Godzilla that nested in New York City in 1998. Following the creature's death, its corpse was taken to a military base for study. When the Tachyons overtook the base, they used their technology to modify Godzilla into a cyborg that was completely under their control, using it to turn the second Godzilla against humanity and recruit him to their cause.

History

Godzilla: The Series

Monster Wars: Part 2

After the first Godzilla's death, his body was taken to a military base where it was studied. The base was eventually overtaken by Tachyons, who used their technology to resurrect him. He was then sent to eliminate H.E.A.T., who had sneaked in to the facility, and when the second Godzilla arrived to save them, he refused to fight his father and was taken under the control of the Tachyons. The father and son team gave chase after H.E.A.T., but were distracted by N.I.G.E.L., which allowed H.E.A.T. to escape. Cyber-Godzilla and the other mutations under Tachyon control were then sent out to various major cities around the world in order to destroy them. Cyber-Godzilla was chosen to attack Tokyo.

Monster Wars: Part 3

H.E.A.T. managed to free the other mutations from the Tachyons' control, but Cyber-Godzilla remained loyal. Niko Tatopoulos convinced Godzilla to chose him over his biological parent, causing Godzilla to turn against Cyber-Godzilla. The two began to fight, with Godzilla tearing Cyber-Godzilla's arm off and ripping out the machine's internal mechanisms, killing him again.

Abilities

• Cyber-Godzilla is armed with an atomic heat ray which is blue in color (an obvious reference to the Japanese Godzilla) as opposed to his son, whose atomic breath is green.
• Cyber-Godzilla can fire up to eight devastating energy missiles from his scutes.
• Cyber-Godzilla can reflect sound-based waves and attacks back to their source using the disk on his chest, an effective weapon against the sonic screech of the Giant Bat.
• Cyber-Godzilla retains his previous abilities prior to his modification, including an impressive running speed and jumping ability as well as an amphibious lifestyle. However, he is now much more resistant to attack.

Trivia

• Cyber-Godzilla is a clear reference to Mechagodzilla and Mecha-King Ghidorah, being a cyborg.
• Cyber-Godzilla may have partially inspired the Millennium Mechagodzilla, Kiryu, as both are previously dead Template:Kaiju that are resurrected using robotic technology and made to fight another kaiju of the same species as them. The largest difference between the two is that Kiryu is a biomecha with its skeleton, DNA, and nervous tissue as his only organic components, while Cyber-Godzilla is a cyborg with much of its organic body intact.
