Mechagodzilla is the resurrected form of King Ghidorah serving as the main antagonist in the 2021 film Godzilla vs. Kong. He was the robotic counterpart of Godzilla and was created by Apex Cybernetics in order to exterminate every Titan in the world, so that humans would remain as the dominant species on Earth. However, it would later fall under the influence of King Ghidorah and instead sought out to destroy both Godzilla and King Kong.
Personality[]
Initially, Mechagodzilla had no distinct personality, due to the pilot controlling the mech. It would only act and follow based on the pilot's command. However, upon being exposed to the Hollow Earth's energy, the energy merged with Ghidorah's neural networks, causing Mechagodzilla to go haywire. Ultimately, it granted the mech a personality of its own. As a result, Mechagodzilla became a relentless killing machine that was determined to kill both Godzilla and Kong, as well as any humans around it.
There are instances where Mechagodzilla was shown to exhibit traits similar to that of Ghidorah, such as its roar, as it was a slight mechanical mixture between Godzilla's and Ghidorah's. Like Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla began to show signs of great fear and dread the moment it was faced with imminent death when being chopped by Kong's battle axe, as it attempted to escape from his wrath. Oddly enough however, Mechagodzilla doesn't appear to display the same traits as the left head, despite it being connected to this particular skull of Ghidorah. This might suggest that, while Ghidorah is influencing Mechagodzilla, he isn't directly possessing it and that Mechagodzilla's newfound consciousness could be its own entity entirely. Another possibility could be that the left head as Mechagodzilla has no interests and curiosity for humanity and is only focused on destroying those around it, likely learning from its past defeats at the hands of Godzilla.
Trivia[]
Mechagodzilla's roar is actually just the mechanically mimicked version of Godzilla's roar.
Mechagodzilla is the first Toho monster to be defeated by King Kong.
