Appearance[]

Fake Godzilla is portrayed with another of the same figure used to portray Godzilla in the show. After it is exposed as a fake, the suit has a metallic torso identical to that of the Showa Mechagodzilla visible underneath its skin.

Roar[]

The Fake Godzilla has the same roars as the original Showa Mechagodzilla.

History[]

Godzilla Island[]

The Fake Godzilla appeared in Godzilla Island episodes 16-20. Fake Godzilla is controlled by Zaguresu and goes on a rampage across Japan. Believed to be the real Godzilla, he was put in a cave in handcuffs. The cave was blocked by metal bars, almost like he was in jail.

Megalon and Battra flew to Godzilla Island and attacked. They were eventually driven off by Rodan, Mothra, Mechagodzilla and Moguera after a quick fight, but this distraction allowed Fake Godzilla to escape. He rampaged through Japan again. Still thinking he was the real Godzilla, the G-Guard Commander warned that if Fake Godzilla didn't stop, he would have to be destroyed. Torema flew to Japan and pleaded for Fake Godzilla to stop, but was shot down.

However, the ship was grabbed. The real Godzilla had come. He blasted the Fake Godzilla, burning off some rubber skin and revealing metal inside, proving he was a fake. Godzilla fought and easily destroyed the copy-cat. Zaguresu then revealed she had tried to frame Godzilla. It is likely this Cybot was not the Showa Mechagodzilla given how easy Godzilla destroyed him.

Abilities[]

The powers of the Fake Godzilla are much like those of the original Godzilla.

Trivia[]

  • This imposter's role and how it disguises itself as Godzilla is shared with Showa Mechagodzilla, although it is unknown if this means the mecha is Mechagodzilla itself or another model of the type, due to the fact that the metal plating shows a hatch, which is identical to the one Mechagodzilla opens to fire its chest beam.
