The L.A.-Bot is a mecha that appears in the fourth and final story of Godzilla vs. America: Los Angeles, "Godzil-LA". It battles Godzilla after the King of the Monsters makes his way into Los Angeles, and successfully drives him off after confusing him with spray paint duplicates on opposing buildings.

Name

The L.A.-Bot's name stems from Los Angeles, which is frequently abbreviated as "L.A.", alongside the word "bot", designating it as a machine.

Design

The L.A.-Bot is a giant humanoid mecha with a rectangular shaped head that has red and light blue markings on it. The segments of its body that aren't covered in white armor are black, which include its neck, waist, inner thighs, and hands. Its chestplate is a dark blue, with massive screws keeping it in place.

History

Godzilla vs. America

Godzilla vs. America: Los Angeles

"Godzil-LA"

After a report of Godzilla attacking Santa Catalina Island comes in, Los Angeles residents evacuate the city. Reagan, a studio P.A., breaks into Studio Diamond with her friends, including street racer Hyu-Jin Kim, prop maker Julian, and her rocket scientist brother Anwar, to build something that can save the city. They ponder that the military is likely to prioritize defending the city's downtown area instead of its neighborhoods. As Godzilla storms through the Aquarium of the Pacific, they are found and arrested by soldiers. Colonel Valles intervenes, having assembled his own group of soldiers from the area and NASA scientists to mount a fiercer defense of the city. Reagan's team joins them and they rapidly construct a massive machine named L.A.-Bot, piloted by Kim. Spray-painted arrows direct it to Godzilla. The two titans trade blows, with L.A.-Bot deploying a rocket and Godzilla performing a sliding kick, the latter growing angrier as the fight goes on. L.A.-Bot then fires a laser which kicks up smoke; when the smoke clears, two more machines appear to be flanking it. Startled, Godzilla retreats, turning away before the illusion becomes apparent: the other L.A.-Bots were merely murals spray-painted onto nearby skyscrapers. The city erupts in celebration.

Trivia

  • The L.A.-Bot's design shares several similarities with Frieza from Dragon Ball. Both are large, muscular humanoids largely colored white with several purple areas over their bodies, some of which are in similar areas.
