Mechagodzilla (メカゴジラ Mekagojira) refers to multiple mechas that appeared throughout the main IDW Publishing continuity consisting of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, Godzilla, and Godzilla: Rulers of Earth.
The first Mechagodzilla, hastily built in Detroit as a patriotic anti-Godzilla weapon, would run amok before breaking down in a forest. It was found by soldier Steven Woods and the young orphan girl Allie, who managed to reactivate it and used it to save Washington, D.C. from Godzilla and King Ghidorah. The second Mechagodzilla, built by billionaire Daniel Malmon as an improved version of the original design, would be stolen by the Monster Kill Crew to liberate monsters from Monster Island to help battle an invasion of space monsters and helped defeat SpaceGodzilla in New York City. The Counter-Kaiju Reaction Forces would rebuild Mechagodzilla based on the previous incarnation, and added it to their roster of anti-kaiju weaponry under the name "Kiryu." The last Mechagodzilla model would be mass-produced in Russia by disguised members of the Cryog race for their invasion of Earth. At least one unit survived the battle for Earth that followed.
Design
All three of the suitmation Mechagodzilla designs were used in IDW's storyline. The Detroit Mechagodzilla used in Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters based on the Heisei incarnation with the addition of "MG" insignia on his pectorals and patriotic stars on his elbows that faded away not long after his berserk rampage. In Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, who uses Kiryu's design but is still referred to as "Mechagodzilla," utilizes his Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla backpack in Godzilla. In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, Mechagodzilla is referred to as "Kiryu" and bears his Godzilla: Tokyo SOS backpack in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth. The mass-produced Russian/Cryog Mechagodzillas seen in Rulers of Earth utilize the Showa design, with them being distinguished from each other through numbered shoulder insignia similar to those seen on Mechagodzilla 2.

Origins
The first Mechagodzilla was built by the United States as an anti-Godzilla weapon about a month after Godzilla's first appearance in Japan and his subsequent arrival in North America. Seeing an opportunity for this weapon to revitalize the Rust Belt's production facilities and economy, President Ogden had Mechagodzilla's construction take place in Detroit, Michigan. However, the rushed construction of the mecha resulted in its faulty AI programming running haywire, leading it to become another rampaging monster.
Several years after the events of Godzilla: Kingdom of Monsters, billionaire eccentric Daniel Malmon purchased X-rays the U.S. government took of Godzilla during his time trapped underneath a mountain range and used the information to build a second Mechagodzilla.

Weaknesses
The Detroit Mechagodzilla's diamond coating only protected the front half of the machine, as covering the back half was deemed too costly compared to the likelihood of attack. Godzilla's atomic breath struck the back of Mechagodzilla's head, causing its onboard AI to go haywire and attack human cities.
The Cryogs' Mechagodzillas were incapable of operating in space, and froze almost immediately after they were deployed to fight SpaceGodzilla.
More TBA
Two Mechagodzillas become frozen in the vacuum of outer space, rendering them helpless against SpaceGodzilla's attack
