Bosskonger
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bosskonger (ボスコンガー Bosukongā) is a King Kong-like mecha created by Konami that first appears in the 1988 video game, Konami Wai Wai World.
Name
Bosskonger's name is a combination of boss, written in Japanese as bosu (ボス), and King Kong's Japanese name, specifically kongu (コング). This is most likely due to Bosskonger being one of Konami Wai Wai World's final bosses, and its intended visual similarities to King Kong.
Design
Bosskonger's overall appearance is similar to that of Mechani-Kong, however with a multitude of differences. Bosskonger's entire body is colored a dark gold color with some red accents. It has an extremely King Kong-like head with red eyes, a bulky torso with small wings attached and a built-in jetpack, relatively long arms with missile launchers for hands, and no legs with wires hanging from within its thigh sockets.
