Proto-Moguera is a robotic monster who appeared in the 1997-1998 TV show Godzilla Island, specifically the last three story arcs of season 1.
Name
Proto-Moguera's name simply comes from "proto", from "prototype", being placed in front of "Moguera". It was done in order to differentiate from the other Moguera in the show, who was based on the Heisei iteration of the character.
Design
Proto-Moguera is portrayed using a figure of the Showa Moguera design, compared to the Heisei design being used for the regular Moguera.
Origins
Proto-Moguera was a prototype of the mecha MOGUERA and was reused for construction work.
History
- Godzilla Island (TV 1997-1998) [12 episodes][note 1]
Heisei era
Godzilla Island
Mechagodzilla
Proto-Moguera is first seen being used to help build another base on Godzilla Island. Zagreth later steals Proto-Moguera after being arrested and escaping following her cheating in a duel between her and Torema in which they used Black Mechagodzilla and Mechagodzilla respectively. She uses the robot to destroy the construction site where another G-Guard base is being built and uses Proto-Moguera to activate dynamite when Anguirus and Baragon try to stop her. Godzilla shows up shortly after and roars a challenge to the robot who fires eye lasers at Godzilla, knocking him down though he gets up shortly after only to be knocked down again. Mothra Leo and Rodan try to interfere in order to stop Proto-Moguera but both are easily knocked out of the sky. However, Torema joins the fight using Black Mechagodzilla and together with Godzilla, force Zagreth and Proto-Moguera to have to be collected by the Vabaruda. The Giant Dark Emperor praises Zagreth for stopping G-Guard from building a second base and for stealing one of G-Guard's robots.
Goodbye, Torema
After Destoroyah and Megalon trick Godzilla and Torema into entering a cave on Matango Island and then block the entrance, Proto-Moguera appears to attack the pair. It first fires eye lasers at Godzilla and then buries into the ground again. It repeats this action while Godzilla and Torema try to attack it whenever it emerges until Godzilla catches it off-guard with a tail-swipe and defeats it though Godzilla temporarily collapses shortly after. When Torema goes to Godzilla Island without Godzilla and then returns to the cave where Godzilla is still trapped, she finds Proto-Moguera attacking Godzilla once again. She waits by one of Proto-Moguera's holes until he appears there again and she shoots it in the face with the Panna Torte's lasers, with another tail-swipe from Godzilla hitting in the face. However, Proto-Moguera reappears once again and emerges from the ground only to begin moving in random directions, the last tail-swipe from Godzilla having damaged its processor. It eventually burrows out of the blocked cave entrance by accident and allows Godzilla and Torema to escape. While Godzilla is being attacked by Destoroyah and Megalon, Proto-Moguera walks into the fight and knocks all three of them down. Destoroyah furiously beats the robot.
Bonus
Proto-Moguera now back under the control of the G-Guard is used to help rebuild the G-Guard base after Mecha-King Ghidorah and Kamacuras attacked it[note 2]. Flashbacks of Proto-Moguera can also be seen during the credits, including its battles between with Godzilla.
Abilities
Eye lasers
Proto-Moguera possesses eye lasers which were strong enough to knock down Godzilla and were also stated to be able to cut through solid rock.
Durability
Torema mentions that Proto-Moguera's chest armor is tough enough to resist the Panna Torte's lasers. Its head also seems to be somewhat durable as it continued fighting Godzilla and Torema despite multiple tail-swipes and laser blasts to the face though a tail-swipe to the face did damage its processor and make it move randomly as a result.
Burrowing
Similar to Moguera No. 2 in The Mysterians, Proto-Moguera is capable of burrowing underground and used this ability to sneak attack Godzilla.
Weaknesses
Proto-Moguera struggled to fight back when both Black Mechagodzilla and Godzilla teamed up to fight it, leaving the robot incapable of reacting to the beam attacks of both. A well-aimed tail-swipe from Godzilla to the face caused it to lose control and move in random directions.
Trivia
