Description
Mechanical CloneKIRYU
Height: 60 meters
Mass: 30,000 metric tons
BIO:
After decades of attacks and battles, suffering immensely at the claws of a monster of unthinkable power, unstoppable fury, and unbreakable will, that the notion to resign to a fate of forever being menaced by Godzilla's wrath seemed to be the only path...if not for Project MG. The third and final of the proposed Anti-Godzilla projects in 1996, it was also the biggest gamble.
Having salvaged the skeleton of the original Godzilla from 1954 (after it was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer), G-Force sought to use the inter-spinal cells, as well as the bones themselves (extremely dense and nearly indestructible) to built a fighting machine. Basing the design off of the salvaged remains of the Simeon's own MECHAGODZILLA, G-Force took it one step further. Integrating the bones, synthetic-diamond coating over the armor, and culturing muscles and sinew to create a more flexible fighting style, and the final steps, a semi-organic "heart" made to regulate the energies within the cyborg's body, and at last a DNA-based computer, built from Godzilla I's own genes. Thus, KIRYU was birthed into a brave, new world...what hath man wrought?
Kiryu was set to fight Godzilla, with Yashiro Akane as his lead pilot. Bearing her own grudge against the mighty kaiju from her team being killed in 1999, Yashiro proved her piloting skills during the battle against Megaguirus. Now, a true chance to redeem herself came in the form of piloting the Shirasagi I, one of Kiryu's control ships.
Kiryu and Godzilla squared off soon enough, but before the fight could even BEGIN, Godzilla let loose a roar of challenge. All of Kiryu's systems came to a grinding halt, and he remained still in the face of his greatest adversary. Godzilla, sensing no immediate threat, returned to the sea...and quickly after, Kiryu sprang back to life...AS A BESERKER. Godzilla's roar had awoken Kiryu's dormant DNA, bringing back the memories of the original Godzilla. Lashing out against mankind, it destroyed half a city before its power reserves ran dry.
A horrible dilemma...what to do? Risk another crazed attack, or disband the best hope Japan has against Godzilla...of course, the monster himself answered that question. Attacking with reckless abandon, Godzilla came searching for Kiryu, and the machine answered. Adjusting the computer allowed for a no-holds barred battle between Kiryu and Godzilla raged, until, finally, it ended at a standstill. Godzilla, wounded from the Absolute Zero Cannon, retreated, and Kiryu, drained of power, stood with Yashiro at his shoulder, watching the Kaiju King vanish beneath the waves.
A year later, the Shobijin appeared, pleading with their old friend, Professor Chujo, to return the original Godzilla's bones to the sea. Such a grevious blow against the spirit of the Earth was not to be tolerated. They feared that both Mothra AND Battra would return and destroy Kiryu themselves, and they obviously were loath to see that happen.
Inevitably, Godzilla returned to find Kiryu, and answer his "brother's" call. Mothra intervened, but in her age, was slowly being overwhelmed. Kiryu arrived and aided the moth against the Monster King. Eventually, Godzilla himself was overpowered, and beaten into submission. Finally, shrieking in defiance, unwilling to go down at the hands of lesser beings, his call ripped through Kiryu's near human/kaiju-hybrid processors, and the programming block was deleted. Kiryu re-awoke as Godzilla, and was quick to defend his brother. Rescuing him and flying to the sea, Kiryu and Godzilla escaped...and both would have their VENGEANCE...
ABILITIES/ASPECTS:
- Heavy Assault Mode: bristling with firepower from the Garuda Weapons System, this mode is slow but powerful.
- High-Speed Mode: Dropping the Garuda armor, Kiryu becomes much faster, thanks to the multiple jet-boosters in the robot's body.
- Twin Masers in mouth
- Absolute Zero Cannon freezes matter and destroys molecules
- System is unpredictable, may go berserk with the right conditions

I don't really understand why people get mad about the name, I mean who cares. At least it's not as bad as Gigantis.

The first thing I notice is the lack of the missile backpack or the arm lasers. And I definitely appreciate this, given how those armaments served no purpose in the film other than to devour money and make it easier for it to destroy the city when it went rogue. Combining the secondary arms with the Garuda gimmick was definitely a good move, and really brings out the strengths of both Kiryu and SMG.
The design's also quite strong. Kiryu's main claim to fame was how much more Godzilla-like and technorganic he was, and this design builds upon that by making him look genuinely alive.
I've always sort of thought the Kiryu saga felt like a rough draft, and this is more or less what the final draft ought to have been.

Why? Just why? WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO NAME IT GODAMN KIRYU?!?! IT'S FUCKING MECHAGODZILLA OLD OR NEW I DON'T GIVE A RATS ASS! PEOPLE NEED TO START REJECTING THIS POPOSTRUS NAME AND GET RIGHT!!! And yeah I know the movie does refer it to Kiryu but they slip a couple times and say MechaGodzilla which is more appropriate. Also you forgot to add on the weapons and despite my bitching nice job.

He didn't forget to add the weapons. He chose to draw it without the weapons. Most likely because it shows off more of the design without the massive weapon pack. Also, why is it such a big deal what people call it? People can call it what they choose. Kiryu. MechaGodzilla. Both are official. If you want to call him MechaGodzilla, fine. But don't yell at people and get all pissy just because someone else wishes to call it Kiryu. I

Kiryu is no doubt my favorite mecha in GOdzilla, and this actually improves his design (I didn't think that possible), good work man.

Only thing I have to ask, is if you will do a picture of him with his Armor on. I liked the Blue armor he had on, and how it worked out ^^ Kiryu is by far my favorite Mecha Godzilla.

I know your comment is very old, but I shall answer your question, since no one else did. The original MechaGodzilla, I believe, was brought to Earth by an alien race and had no real relation to Godzilla. Kiryu was built by the Japanese military from the original Godzilla's skeleton. Hope that clears things up!
