Mechagodzilla "Kiryu" ( メカゴジラ ) Millennium Era
Power Level 15 ( 260 PP)'Godzilla' by Blue Öyster Cult wrote:"With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound,
He pulls the spitting high-tension wires down;
Helpless people on subway trains
Scream Bug-eyed as he looks in on them;
He picks up a bus and he throws it back down
As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town;
Oh no, they say he's got to go, go go Godzilla!
Oh no, there goes Tokyo, go go Godzilla!"

BACKGROUNDThe current Mechagodzilla, nicknamed 'Kiryu,' was featured in two films:
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and
Godzilla: Tokyo SOS.
In the Millennium version of continuity, the original Godzilla had been killed in 1954 by the Oxygen Destroyer, Japan still found itself under attack from other monsters such as Mothra and Gaira over the decades. When a second Godzilla appeared in 1999, this was the last straw. Japan proposed a shocking plan: to dredge up the skeleton of the first Godzilla from Tokyo Bay and use it as a skeleton/framework for constructing a Mechagodzilla, also known as 'Kiryu' or Mecha-G. Yet they were unaware that this bold move would only infuriate and provoke this new Godzilla.
Cloned DNA from the bones was also inserted into the quasi-organic control computers, intended to take over subconscious motor control functions for the crew. By 2003, the metal monster was ready. Mechagodzilla was unleashed, but the cyborg's latent memories were reawakened by the new Godzilla's own roars the memories being Kiryu's attack on Tokyo in 1954 as the original Godzilla. Mechagodzilla broke free of its pilot, Lt. Akane Yashiro, and proceeded to trash the city (manual overrides being ignored) without the new Godzilla's help for a couple of hours until it ran out of power. Things just get even more chaotic from there...
Mechagodzilla 'Kiryu' is a well balanced machine, and the most agile Mechagodzilla to date, moving with a fluid, almost organic grace. Its armament includes an oral maser cannon, dual laser cannons on each arm, and a detachable flight pack that contains two forward firing rocket launchers and four batteries along its back and sides for launching guided missiles. For close combat, a short blade can be extended from Mechagodzilla's dual laser cannons which was not only able to penetrate Godzilla's nearly impervious hide, but was also able to discharge a crippling electrical surge into his opponent's body.
Mechagodzilla 'Kiryu''s most devastating weapon is the Absolute Zero Cannon (a weapon also utilized by the Gotengo). Stored in its chest behind a trio of folding panels, the Absolute Zero Cannon fires a ball of energy that flash freezes its target, thereby causing it to disintegrate under the weight of its own mass.
Thanks to Psistrike for pointing out that Growth gives Protection to creatures without stamina equal to normal Stamina gain from the power, I was able to shave 16 PP from 'Kiryu''s powers. This was all dumped into Minions. Mechagodzilla can now be accompanied by a cadre of JXSDF soldiers and mundane vehicles. As per usually, they won't do much against evil daikaijū, but that's the life of a soldier in Japan...
Edit 10/21/12: Working through the list of errors kindly supplied by Psistrike.
Fun fact, according to George Takei's autobiography, the 1956 American dubbed release of Rodan was his first professional acting job, and all dialogue voices were provided by himself and four others. Oh, my!
