Mecha-Godzilla I

First appearing in a pseudo-flesh outer covering and masquerading as the real Godzilla, Mechagodzilla makes a few attacks against Japan.

Godzilla's ally Anguirus wasn't fooled by the impostor's disguise, but in the resulting fight Mechagodzilla swiftly overpowered the beast, breaking Anguirus' jaw and sending him fleeing underground.

Anguirus attacking his ally was a complete shock; and the battle had also exposed a piece of Mechagodzilla's true mechanical nature (though most humans did not seem to notice it), tipping any keen eyes off to the robot's charade.

Godzilla then reappeared from a warehouse and, in the ensuing brawl, used his atomic heat ray to destroy large chunks of the pseudo-flesh, utterly ruining the robot's disguise and forcing Mechagodzilla to reveal itself in full.

The battle resulted in a tie, however, as Godzilla was severely wounded and Mechagodzilla forced back into the Simian's base for a repair job.

Fearing for the robot's advance, a priestess of the Azumi royal family, prepares to awaken King Caesar, an ancient Okinawan deity.

Mechagodzilla was finished repairs and, due to the Simians catching onto the idea, sent to Okinawa to destroy the golem before he could awaken.

Unfortunately, the Simians were too slow, and King Caesar was awoken to fend off the robot.

Despite the shisa golem's best efforts, however, Mechagodzilla still proved too much, and the guardian was soundly trounced.

However, Godzilla had been following his doppelganger, and he immediately resumed engagement with Mechagodzilla.

After a long, hard and bloody battle, Godzilla and King Caesar's cooperation pays off when Godzilla manages to forcibly turn Mechagodzilla's head around his shoulders against its will and tear it clean off, causing the robot to detonate, defeating the menace.

The Simians, though, rebuilt their dreadnought for another try one year later, in Terror of Mechagodzilla.

Having learned the value of teamwork firsthand, the Simians called in an old debt to pair Mechagodzilla with the aquatic dinosaur, known as Titanosaurus, that had been discovered by Dr. Mafune, a scientist shunned by his comrades because of his experimentation on oceanic life.

This time, though, some modifications were made, mainly turning the mecha into a true cyborg by giving it living human brain cells; accomplished by integrating its control circuitry into the body of Dr. Mafune's daughter Katsura, as well as a variety of other cybernetic enhancements.

Godzilla tried to exploit the flaw found in their last brawl, but this time the Simians prepared for it and had installed a secondary head to allow the mech to operate without its head.

Mechagodzilla was once more defeated after Katsura committed suicide, destroying the mech's controls and freezing it long enough for Godzilla to use his atomic heat ray on Mechagodzilla's headless body, causing it to explode in a massive fireball and finishing off the doppelganger once and for all.
