The Heat-Seeker (HEATシーカー,   Hīto Shīkā) is a rusted ship used by the H.E.A.T. team to investigate various mutations in Godzilla: The Series.

History

Godzilla: The Series

The Heat-Seeker is first seen without any paint as a "state-of-the-art research vessel" offered to Dr. Niko Tatopoulos by Monique Dupre as an incentive to let her stay and make sure that the then-unnamed H.E.A.T. was doing their job. Nick takes the bait and the ship becomes a vital asset to the group, as many of the mutations fought in the series are very far away from New York City. The vessel does not truly become the Heat-Seeker until "Talkin' Trash," where Randy Hernandez coins the H.E.A.T. acronym and paints the name on the side of the ship, along with its iconic "shark face". In the episode "Lizard Season", the Heat-Seeker was outfitted with additional weapons by Monique. However, when Cameron Winter seized control of the ship and turned its new arsenal against Godzilla, the team was forced to dismantle these weapons.

Video Games

Godzilla: The Series

H.E.A.T. took the Seeker halfway across the world to follow Godzilla, only for its engines to give out. Luckily, they were near an island where radioactive lava had mutated the surrounding wildlife, which led them to the Giant Mutant Bees. Ultimately, the ship was repaired and able to depart before the local volcano erupted. Later, the Seeker was put in harm's way once more when it came between Godzilla and his new foe, Crustaceous Rex. Luckily, it and the crew were able to escape unscathed. While stopped in a mysterious bay, Godzilla began to act strangely due to experiments being performed by Cameron Winter, and he quickly left the Heat-Seeker behind. When he had razed Winter's fortress to the ground, the Heat-Seeker had sailed nearby and accompanied him across the moonlit sea back to New York.
