Cybersaur (サイバーザウル Saibāzauru) is a United Nations-built robot dinosaur who appeared in the first story arc of Dark Horse's Godzilla, King of the Monsters comic series.
History
- Godzilla #1-4 (1995)
- A Decade of Dark Horse #4 (1996) [monitor]
After a failed attempt by G-Force to lure a poisoned Godzilla out of Canada, the order was sent by Colonel Cameron to activate Cybersaur, a powerful machine created by G-Force and the U.N. in preparation of Godzilla's eventual return. Challenging Godzilla, the mechanical defender unloaded its arsenal at the King of the Monsters, but it wasn't enough. A blow to the head from Godzilla's tail caused massive damage within the robot's cockpit, killing one of its pilots, and the golden mecha was blown off its feet by Godzilla's atomic breath. A kick to the head as Godzilla passed by inflicted even more internal damage. Eventually, G-Force was able to repair Cybersaur and sent it to engage Godzilla once again. This time the mecha fared much better than it did before, assaulting Godzilla with its firepower before activating the G-Buster, Cybersaur's ultimate weapon. One blast from the G-Buster was all it took to send Godzilla falling to the ground, apparently dead.
Later on, when the space monster Bagorah arrived on Earth, Cybersaur was sent to intercept him. A single blast from Cybersaur's laser cannons was enough to send the giant bat screaming into the ocean. The next night, Bagorah returned, but Cybersaur had been refitted with a Sonic Disruptor to disorient the beast. Unfortunately, it only had a temporarily effect on Bagorah, who attacked Cybersaur with a flying headbutt, sending the machine crashing onto its back. Attacked by its foe's teeth and talons, the mechanical marvel was damaged beyond repair.
As Godzilla and Bagorah duked it out in Vancouver, Cybersaur erupted into a ball of fire, never to see combat again. However, a new robot was already in the early stages of development at the moment, one that would also have the purpose of challenging the might of the King of the Monsters!
Abilities
Missile launchers
Cybersaur possesses eight missile launchers on its shoulders.
Laser cannons
Cybersaur has laser cannons mounted in its wrists and mouth, as well as its shoulders. Its laser cannons contained enough power to injure the weakened Godzilla and pose a considerable threat to Bagorah.
Electric field
Cybersaur can constantly emit an electric field which absorbs enemy attacks.
Sonic Disruptor
Cybersaur was later equipped with a Sonic Disruptor to deal with Bagorah.
G-Buster
Cybersaur has an enormous gun called the G-Buster that extends from its torso. This weapon was so powerful that it sent Godzilla into a coma with one shot.
Plasma bombs
It was mentioned by a member of the research team G-Force that Cybersaur also has plasma bombs in its destructive arsenal.
Weaknesses
Cybersaur was still in its late maintenance and development stages when it went into battle against Godzilla, meaning its combat capabilities could have been limited when it saw action.

Trivia
- Cybersaur is very similar to, and in all likelihood based on, the Heisei version of Mechagodzilla from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. Both are gigantic mechas superficially resembling Godzilla himself, which are built by the combination of G-Force and the United Nations in order to defend mankind from Godzilla. Cybersaur's shoulder-mounted laser cannons are also reminiscent of the Garuda's High Power Maser Beam Cannons, which are positioned on Mechagodzilla's shoulders while in its Super Mechagodzilla form.
