Godzilla Tower

Godzilla Tower (ゴジラタワー,   Gojira Tawā) was the main attraction at World's Children's Land in Godzilla vs. Gigan.

Design

The Godzilla Tower is made to resemble Godzilla, however, the skin texture of the tower has a more simplistic pattern, the eyes are larger and appear more cartoon-ish, and dorsal spines resemble daggers more then they do Godzilla's dorsal spines. The top of the head is also more flat, and lacks Godzilla's defined brow.

History

Showa Series

Godzilla vs. Gigan

The Godzilla Tower served as the primary base of operations of the group of M Space Hunter Nebula Aliens that were stationed on Earth. The tower was intended to be the centerpiece of the amusement park, World's Children's Land. A park built to bring the world to "absolute piece". The tower was being built with the intent of having an exhibit of past, present, and future monsters. The tower would also have an elevator that would take tourists to the top of the tower (the head), where there would be an observation deck, and a space observatory. When Machiko's brother, Takashi, discovered his employers (the aliens in disguise) true intention, he was captured and held in the tower as prisoner. When Gengo and Tomoko attempted to rescue him, they were captured themselves, and caught a glimpse of the aliens' true form. The aliens intended to keep them alive to serve as "uniforms" for more of the alien forces that would arrive later. As Gigan and Ghidorah begin battle with Godzilla and Anguirus, they manage to escape with the assistance of Machiko and Shosaku. However, it is revealed that the aliens have equipped the tower with a giant laser beam, that would fire from the tower's mouth, mimicking Godzilla's atomic breath, when they use it to destroy the human's get away car. Thankfully, the group predicted the car would be destroyed, and set it to drive off without a driver to serve as a distraction, while they hid in the bushes, and sneak away back to the city. As the battle between the kaiju draws closer to the park, Godzilla is puzzled by the tower the looks like him. The aliens the open fire, using the beam to injure and pin down Godzilla. Anguirus attempts to aid, but Gigan and Ghidorah stand in his way. The group of humans then return with soldiers from the military, who place explosives in the tower's elevator. To hide the explosives, they place Gengo's large drawing of themselves armed with guns, to give the illusion of them standing in the elevator. As the elevator climbs up the tower, the aliens prepare to open fire when it reaches the top floor. When the doors open, the alien guards open fire, and set off the explosives hidden behind the drawing, destroying the tower's head, the laser, the aliens, and freeing Gigan and Ghidorah from the aliens' mind control. Despite this, the two kaiju continue to battle Godzilla and Anguirus. The remainder of the tower is later destroyed when Ghidorah slams Godzilla into the building.
