History
Godzilla Island
Team Zagreth in the Red
The Monster Vending Machine was approached by Zagreth as it was floating in space. She wanted to purchase a Special Grade A Mecha-King Ghidorah from it for 10 million Space Zeni, but due to current finances could only afford to get a Grade B Mecha-King Ghidorah for 2.5 million Space Zeni. The machine promptly dispensed the cyborg monster and thanked Zagreth for her patronage.
Mystery Radio Waves
Zagreth pays a discreet visit to the Monster Vending Machine once again in the beginning of the 234th episode. This time she buys the Special Grade A Hyper Mecha-King Ghidorah. The machine says "thank you very much" before dispensing the mech.
