The Heisei Mechagodzilla was created by the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center (UNGCC)using Futurian technology scavenged from the remains of Mecha-King Ghidorah in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
When Godzilla attacked the city of Kyoto, Mechagodzilla was deployed against him. The mechanical kaiju acquitted itself well, but was eventually defeated due to a voltage backsurge during their electrocution of Godzilla. One of Mechagodzilla's back-up pilots, Kazuma Aoki, suggested merging Mechagodzilla to a previous anti-Godzilla weapon. Namely, the airship Garuda, originally deemed a design failure and shelved in preference to Mechagodzilla.
Kazuma, in fact the chief designer and main pilot of Garuda to start with, found some personal redemption as his idea is approved. The combined form of the two mechs, dubbed Super Mechagodzilla, is unleashed against the King of the Monsters and Fire Rodan. In the heat of battle, Kazuma personally detaches Garuda and flies against Fire Rodan while the other Mechagodzilla crew continue against Godzilla. Kazuma is defeated, but manages to reattach the Garuda to Mechagodzilla to form Super Mechagodzilla. Super Mechagodzilla proceeds to destroy Godzilla's own reptilian secondary brain and moves in for the kill. Fire Rodan reappears, but is killed by a blast from Super Mechagodzilla. Upon dying, Fire Rodan's body dissolves, releasing the radioactive energy within its body and healing Godzilla's injuries. When Godzilla rises, its level of radioactivity is so high that Super Mechagodzilla's artificial diamond coating, which allowed it to return Godzilla's atomic breath, begins to melt. As a result, Super Mechagodzilla is rendered defenseless against the revived monster. Godzilla, temporarily supercharged with radiation, destroys the mech with a blood-red version of his atomic beam. Super Mechagodzilla's crew escape uninjured.

Arsenal
Heisei Mechagodzilla is protected by an armor plating made from an alloy called NT-1, which is coated in a layer of artificial diamond. The coating allows it to absorb energy from Godzilla's atomic breath, which is then transferred to its ultimate weapon, the Plasma Grenade, which is located on its waist. Mechagodzilla was also able to absorb energy from Rodan's heat beam. Heisei Mechagodzilla also possesses laser cannons in its eyes and a mega-buster ray from it's mouth. It can fire tranquilizer missiles from its hips, paralysis missiles from the shoulders, and shock anchor cables from its wrists, enabling the robot to deliver powerful electrical charges in a struck opponent - this was later modified into a weapon called the "G-Crusher".
Finally, Mechagodzilla can attach to the warship Garuda. Upon doing so it gains Garuda's powerful maser cannons as well as the ability to hover above the ground by using Garuda's massive engines to achieve lift. This version is known as "Super Mechagodzilla".
Video Game Appearances
The Heisei Mechagodzilla appeared in the video games Super Godzilla for the Super Famicon, Godzilla: Domination! for Game Boy Advance, Godzilla: Save the Earth for Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation 2 and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee for Xbox and Nintendo GameCube.He also makes an appearance in Godzilla: Unleashed For Ps2 and Wii and Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash for DS.
Heisei Mechagodzilla was removed from the English version of Super Godzilla in favor for the more-known Shōwa Mechagodzilla. This was due to the fact that at the time of the game's release, the new Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla film had not been released on American shores.
In Godzilla: Unleashed, Heisei Mechagodzilla is partially a clone of Mechagodzilla, though trading one cell of defense for one cell of speed. The only major differences between Mechagodzilla and Mechagodzilla 2 is the the latter can hover, fire his Plasma Cannon and use his jets to push away opponents like (Mecha)King Ghidorah uses his wings aside from flying.
In the Game Boy Advance video game Godzilla: Domination, the anti-Godzilla weapon Mechagodzilla II has the ability to unleashe a flame from his hand in a slow attack with good reach. He also can perform a hydraulic kick, where he unleashes a flame from the jets on his feet for a slow attack with excellent reach. He can also do a claw launch, in which he fires off his fist, which will fly forward and then turn around and return to Mechagodzilla. A devastating attack with the potential to hit twice. His other video game abilities include the power to fire an electric bolt and the ability to create a cooling steam which will slightly heal Mechagodzilla and injure nearby monsters.
Godzilla Neo
An absolute monarch among machines; more powerful than anything man had ever constructed on a physical level; so completely unstoppable that it was terrifying in its raw beauty; its codename: SMG, short for SUPER MECHA GODZILLA. But it was not to be.
After GODZILLA II's return in 1984 and rampage that devastated Tokyo (again), the newly formed G-FORCE was forming think-tanks left and right, trying to accumulate as many good, crazy ideas as they could to combat the King of the Monsters, when he would inevitably rise from Mt. Mihara. Among the ideas, one very crazy idea very nearly came to fruition. One team of engineers, a mix of experienced roboticists and a team of up-and-coming youngsters, proposed the ultimate Anti-Kaiju Plan: a gigantic robot, built specifically to be more powerful than just about anything that could crawl out of the radioactive woodwork. Absolutely armed to the teeth and then some, SMG could completely annihilate anything in front, behind, above, below and to either side of it.
It is obvious at first glance that SMG was inspired by the Simeon weapon MECHA-GODZILLA, which nearly killed Godzilla in its own right. Indeed, much of Mecha-Godzilla was salvaged after the cataclysimic fight with Godzilla, KING CAESAR and TITANOSAURUS, and what little tech had survived was thoroughly studied with much to be learned.
Needless to say, the project never came to completion. Even with the already ridiculous weaponry budget put forth by the United Nations, the funding just wasn't there to complete the sort of towering god of a machine that SMG would have been. Besides, it was also feared that a weapon of such size would cause just as much if not more damage that whatever threat it was trying to combat. As well, the EDF higher-ups decided that it would be in poor taste to associate with the alien super weapon that nearly destroyed the planet.
There was some fruition to Project SMG; the basic framework was built, and after the project was put on ice in favor of the ANEB, the skeleton was brought back out of storage and used to create MOGUERA, a more mobile and cost-effective mecha. Later, most of the design specs would also be used for the construction of Project KIRYU.
There is one thing for certain: Super Mecha Godzilla would have completely and utterly laid waste to any kaiju that stood in its sights...perhaps even Godzilla himself!
