Machine G (マシーン G is a Mashīn Jī)G Team mecha which first appeared in Kodansha's Godzilla, King of the Monsters manga.
Name
Machine G's name comes from "Machine" and "G," which can come from either Godzilla or the "G" in Machine G's creators, G Team. It could also be a reference to Mazinger Z, which already plays a role in the former's design.
Design
Machine G is a sleek mecha which appears to be based on Godzilla's appearance, and draws on aspects of other popular Japanese robots such as the Dragonzord and Mazinger Z. Though ostensibly a Mechagodzilla, it looks quite different compared to Mechagodzilla III, with its smooth, curved casing contrasting the former's angular design.
Machine G has a long, almost canine-like head with a massive black spike erupting out of it, and a gem in its forehead. Machine G's dorsal plates are silver in colour and slightly curved. He has powerful arms and large shoulders, and the top half of his body appears to be heavier than the lower half. His tail, arms, legs, feet, chest and groin are all protected by thick black armour. Machine G also possesses a set of wings on his back that fold out when required.
History
Godzilla, King of the Monsters
After Dr. Mad Oniyama released King Godzilla and defeated Godzilla by dropping the kaiju king onto a set of spikes, Hideo Kaneko, who believed that Godzilla had died, his brother Yosuke and Linda Miller realised they would have to fight alone. It was then that Yosuke revealed G-Team's greatest weapon, being Machine G! The three humans piloted the Mechagodzilla into battle against King Godzilla at Satan Atoll, and seemed to have the upper hand. Machine G used his Twin Maser Cannon Hands to deal devastating damage on King Godzilla, only for the hybrid kaiju to reveal an additional component: his Neo Biollante head, which was formed after Machine G damaged King Godzilla's chest.
Machine G was quickly overpowered and knocked down by King Godzilla, who proceeded to attempt to crush the mecha's head. Before this could happen, the battle was interrupted by Godzilla, who had returned to the fight after being revived by a lightning bolt. Godzilla quickly retalliated against King Godzilla, ultimately saving Machine G from destruction. With Machine G's weapons incapacitated, the three humans could only watch as Godzilla destroyed King Godzilla's Neo Biollante head, then hurled himself into the mouth of an active volcano while grappling with King Godzilla to take down his doppelganger and its creator. As the team looked on in awe, having left the downed mecha, Miller assured them that Godzilla would return one day.
