The Super X2 (スーパー
History
Heisei era
Godzilla vs. Biollante
The Super X2 was built to defend Japan in case of foreign nations or giant monsters attacking following the destruction of the original Super X. It was built to be able to be flown from a control room rather than manually piloted, with Major Sho Kuroki chosen to lead the team controlling it.
After Godzilla escaped from inside Mount Mihara after he was trapped there five years earlier, he headed out to the Sea of Japan. The Super X2 was dispatched to intercept Godzilla, engaging him at sea. The Super X2's Fire Mirror reflected Godzilla's atomic breath back at him with several times its original power, causing Godzilla to retreat below the ocean waves. The Super X2 followed Godzilla and fired twin explosive tipped torpedoes, forcing the monster to surface. Godzilla attempted to use his atomic breath against the Super X2 again, which it reflected. However, Godzilla sustained his atomic blast until it began to melt the Super X2's shield. To defend itself against Godzilla, the Super X2 closed the maw of the shield and bombarded Godzilla with missiles and shells, which had no effect on him. Godzilla then swung his tail at the Super X2, temporarily putting it out of commission.
Assessing the damage done to the Super X2, Kuroki was informed that the Fire Mirror's parabolic screen couldn't be repaired in time. The Super X2 was sent to Osaka, where Godzilla was headed. There, it kept Godzilla at a distance with the rest of its weapons and lured him between several buildings where soldiers armed with bazooka shells carrying the Anti-Nuclear Energy Bacteria awaited Godzilla. Godzilla, not being quite within range, almost started to move back and leave, but Kuroki decided to open the Fire Mirror to lure Godzilla to the target point. Godzilla blasted the Super X2, causing it to burst into flames before crashing and exploding, but was left within range of the soldiers.
