Mecha-King Ghidorah
From Wikizilla
Mecha-King Ghidorah is a mechanically modified kaiju that appeared in the 1991 film Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. It has a futuristic technical look, with its middle head mechanicalized as well as its wings, torso and a few other areas. It's considerably more powerful than the purely organic King Ghidorah.

Godzilla and King Ghidorah
Upon defeating King Ghidorah and sending the brass behemoth to its doom in the depths of the sea, Godzilla began to wreck havoc throughout Japan. Emmy Kano, a Futurian who rebelled against her belligerent crew, was asked if King Ghidorah could be revived in the 23rd century. If possible, it could be brought back to the present and used as an anti-Godzilla weapon to protect Japan. Emmy agreed with this request and ventured into the future using the time machine KIDS.
The Final Battle
As Godzilla continued his rampage through the center of Tokyo, he suddenly heard a sound in the sky. King Ghidorah, now the cyborg Mecha-King Ghidorah, materialized in a flash of pulsing energy. Piloted by Emmy and reinforced with several robotic segments, Mecha-King Ghidorah easily outclassed its predecessor. It fired its gravity beams and triple laser beam at its foe. Though Godzilla managed to fire his thermonuclear breath in retaliation, the gray gargantuan was ultimately sent crashing into the surrounding buildings. Godzilla managed to regain his balance and damage both of Mecha-King Ghidorah's wings. It was time for Emmy to reveal the cyclopean cyborg's most powerful technique. Energy-conducting capture cables were fired, as was the machine hand restraint. Mecha-King Ghidorah lifted Godzilla into the sky and over the sea, but both were sent crashing into the waves when Godzilla fired his thermonuclear ray at his captor. Emmy quickly escaped in KIDS, leaving both monsters trapped on the ocean floor.
Meanwhile, beneath the surface of the sea, Godzilla's eyes glowed eerily. It released its thermonuclear ray into the azure abyss, for it would escape from it restraints and return to terrorize the world another day... The technology used in Mecha-King Ghidorah was later used to create Mechagodzilla 2 and MOGUERA.
Powers/Weapons
After being upgraded by Futurian technologies, King Ghidorah had more powers and weapons as Mecha-King Ghidorah. Aside from his gravity beams and the power of flight at mach 4, Mecha-King Ghidorah could fire a Triple Laser Beam from its mechanical central head and was also equipped with Godzilla Capture Cables and the large Machine Hand restraint that can also discharge electricity.
Video Games
Mecha-King Ghidorah frequently appears in Godzilla video games. He's the penultimate boss in Super Godzilla (in that he's viewed as the hardest boss next to Bagan), and appears as a boss in Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact, and as the unplayable final boss in Godzilla: Domination (in which he's greatly enlarged, taking up half the area he's fought in). In this game, he doesn't move around, but will occasionally jump, after which the player will also have or they take damage when he hits the ground. The only way to hurt is to hit the flashing point on his body, then hit his robotic head. He mostly attacks by breathing fireballs. When he takes enough damage, one of his organic heads will die and vanish, which results in health and energy power-ups being spawned. Eventually, the other head will die, but the robotic head takes much longer to die then the other two. Also, as Mecha-King Ghidorah takes damage, he starts attacking more often, and when down to one head he will frequently use an attack that launches a large spread of fireballs. Mecha-King Ghidorah also appears as a playable character in Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (if the player uses Mechagodzilla in story mode, Mecha-King Ghidorah takes his place as the final boss), Godzilla: Save the Earth, Godzilla: Unleashed and Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash. In of his playable depictions he plays similar to King Ghidorah (powerful, slow, can fly, large amount of health, decent reach) and has most of the some moves with some changes and different resistances. He does have two extra abilities, however. The first is that he has a taser attack that, if it connects, drains paralyzes his opponent and quickly drains away their energy. The taser can only be used three times, but collecting energy power-ups allows it to be used again. The other is that his block, if his energy, but it does use up energy very quickly, will absorb a weapon attack and convert it into his own health. Although he had the same rage attack as King Ghidorah in Destroy All Monster Melee (flying into the air while spinning around firing all three gravity beams), in Godzilla Save the Earth it was changed to making him temporarily invincible, and any opponent that touches him is knocked away.
Godzilla Unleashed Bio
Height:120 meters Weight:80,000 tons
"Mecha-King Ghidorah is the GDF's best attempts to use the weapons of the Vortaak to defend Earth, rather than destroy it. After King Ghidorah's defeat at the hands of an Earth Defender in one possible future, the alien monster was rebuilt with GDF technology to serve the interest of mankind. To replace King Ghidorah's natural body armor, destroyed in the re-animation process, this new incarnation has been outfitted with a powerful energy shield to reflect weapon attacks. In addition, Mecha-King Ghidorah has replenishable taser weapons, which can drain an opponent's energy reserves. With most of his original form's combat techniques intact, Mecha-King Ghidorah might stand as humanity's best hope against the Vorataak invasion."
