Origins[]
This version of Mechagodzilla was created by the Cryog fleet under orders of their leader, Rhizon, while pretending to be a Russian warmonger. Modeled after the previous mecha utilized by the military, an army of Mechagodzilla was made in secret.
History[]
Godzilla: Rulers of Earth[]
In Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #13, Rhizon tested his new creation and sent a Mechagodzilla unit disguised as Godzilla to attack Anguirus. In issue #14, the Mechagodzilla badly injured and nearly killed Anguirus.
When Godzilla appeared in Boston, a senator enlisted the help of the disguised Rhizon and his army of Mechagodzillas to destroy Godzilla once and for all. In the following issue, Godzilla battled the Mechagodzilla army in downtown Boston. Despite being badly wounded in the ensuing battle, Godzilla managed to destroy most of the Mechagodzillas before being abruptly carried off by Mecha-King Ghidorah. A group of Mechagodzillas picked up Kiryu carrying Anguirus to a robotics facility in Russia and shot Kiryu down. More Mechagodzillas assembled in the facility, which Rhizon had converted into a giant battle arena.
Mecha-King Ghidorah arrived carrying Godzilla and dropped him into the arena. Together, the mechas took the upper hand over Godzilla until Anguirus escaped Kiryu's grip and joined the battle. Godzilla and Anguirus managed to destroy the Mechagodzillas and force Mecha-King Ghidorah to retreat. With his plans foiled, Rhizon and his remaining underlings departed for outer space, along with two remaining Mechagodzilla units. When the Cryogs' ship was attacked by SpaceGodzilla, Rhizon sent both Mechagodzillas to fight him off. The Mechagodzillas were frozen by the cold vacuum of space and easily destroyed by SpaceGodzilla.
At the end of the final issue, a single Mechagodzilla was shown being repaired alongside Gigan in an unknown location.

- Like the original version of Mechagodzilla, this Mechagodzilla was made by an extraterrestrial race. Ironically, it is also the last version of Mechagodzilla to appear in the series.
