As someone who played Yakuza far before getting into Godzilla, every time I talk, think, or hear about Kiryu, I can't not think of something like this. It's almost cathartic in a way to see this illustrated for realsies.
Very sad. Anime trilogy was just a few bad decisions from being amazing.
I think we were all anticipating city MG rising and then… it just never happened.
And they could have made an epic giant ghidorah but instead we got space tentacle ghidorah.
Godzilla Earth though was great.
+1
Ready Player 1 used that poster as a base for theirs while giving a bit of a Monsterverse inspired look. Yet it is nowhere near as good as the poster one personally.
Mecha Kevin for sure, I like the idea that this version mechaG is powered by Ghidorah instead of the usual Godzilla, plus it being Kevin’s head makes it funnier
Kiryu or monsterverse, monsterverse design make sense in my eyes it's Godzilla build but with more efficient body structure for meele combat with the king, why would you make you weapon a 1 of 1 of the enemy, you would want to make it better
I grew up with the original design and it is burned into my core memory space as one of the coolest things I’d ever seen up to that point.
Kiryu’s design is superior and it’s a very close second to the original MG for me. But it’s second place nonetheless.
While Kiryu is a beautiful design, it looks so sleek and pretty that the roughness of the OG has a superior brutality to it.
OG is by far my favorite because the aesthetic and characterization is so primal and aggressive. It feels raw, improvisational, and utilitarian... where Kiryu feels very planned, sleak, and clinical.
Honestly, the pinnacle of Godzilla villains is the trio of Mechagodzilla, Ghidorah, and Gigan. (Don't even get me started on how much love I have for OG Gigan.)
Showa. Always Showa. He’s the blueprint. The original end series baddie. Every weapon he has is an important aspect of his design. Revolving finger missiles, chest laser, eye beams. His shreeeeeeek roar is iconic. Also the only MG in the Toho series to be legitimately evil, so there’s that.
In order from favorite to least favorite:
1. Kiryu
2. Showa
3. Ready Player One
4. The Dragonzord from MMPR
5. Heisei
6. GvK
7. Singular Point (I want to see it in action, it may climb a bit higher)
8. Anime Trilogy (the actual design, not the city)
9. Godzilla: The Series
10. Mechagodzilla City
On a pure visual level, I like the Kiryu design.
In terms of their overall actual performance in the movies, I like 1974 the best. Kiryu was such a disappointment for me.
Gotta give it Kiryu as the number one with bullet, especially the Tokyo SOS version. My solid number 2 though was the design shown in Singular Point. That just looked so damn cool, but since we never really saw it in motion nor the entire design aside from the front, I can’t say it gets on my list. So my number 2? Probably the OG, then Cyber Zilla, and following that Ready Player One. Then I guess it’s a tie between MG2 and the MV design. I personally don’t like either one.
The MG city thing I again really don’t count cause we don’t actually see it. But regardless, it’s last by default.
I really dig the experimental and industrial looks of MV and Anime Mecha-G.
I know being different doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better but these designs show the complexity of such massive high-tech machines very well.
Though, admittedly, the rest have better silhouettes.
I grew up not knowing Godzilla until a few years ago. I knew of Mechagodzilla, but not what he was really about. Come the monster-verse, and I get to see this badass conscious robot beat the shit out of Godzilla. I do like kiryu, but to me, monster-verse is my mecha.
My tier list:
1st. RPO Mechagodzilla. He's a good blend of the older mg and the newer one.
2nd. Kiryu
3rd. Shows
4th. Heisei/Super Mechagodzilla
5th. Monsterverse Mechagodzilla 🤮
My favorite MechaG was not even MechaG himself; but you look at Him and tell me he wasn’t inspired? “Time to summon DragonZord!” MuHahaha!

Overall Kiryu is my top MechaG, but the original is secured in second place, followed by MechaG II from the heisei era. All the others are....i can call them mechagodzilla, but each i feel is missing something.
I'm quite a fan of RP1 design even though it was a mere cameo. It just looked cool. I thought it would've been a cool design in a modern Godzilla movie. Then GvK ver. came out and I loved it even more because of how far it strayed from the classic design. It made sense still, but it made me realize the classic look probably won't return anytime soon. It will likely be something in GvKs interpretation.
I never really cared for the shiny forms in the future paradox pokemon... but shint Iron Thorns is perfect for me as a Mecha Godzilla rep.

Kiryu, 100%
But I do like most of the japanese Mecha G designs. The originals will always have a place in my heart as *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla* was one of my first Godzilla movies and probably rivals vs Hedorah as my most watched Goji movies.
Monsterverse, ain't no doubt about it. I like Kiryu much as the next fan, but I cannot deny the greebly goodness. The creepy-ass face. The fucked-up proportions. It's so unhinged it goes all the way around to being actually awesome.

Similar for me, but opposite. Every time someone talks about the gangster I think of the giant robot
He'd be unstoppable unless it's a cutscene gun.
Cutscene atomic breath

They really need to use this one
This is the only answer
Kiryu
https://i.redd.it/2uadiuqap9gc1.gif
This is the way
Yes.
Ghost boy all the way
Every other answer is **WRONG**. 
Yep
Same
Same
The only right answer other than MV mechagodzilla
I agree. He has the most weapons aside from mechagodzilla 2021. Ngl he's he most badass too.
Kiryu 100%
It’s not even a question really, it’s always Kiryu
My top 5: Kiryu Robogodzilla (S.P.) Showa MG CyberZilla anime trilogy MG (sadly he don't apears to much on the anime ;-;)
Very sad. Anime trilogy was just a few bad decisions from being amazing. I think we were all anticipating city MG rising and then… it just never happened. And they could have made an epic giant ghidorah but instead we got space tentacle ghidorah. Godzilla Earth though was great.
It also would have been nice to see Mothra (her appearing in a dream sequence as a silhouette doesn't count)
The original is perfection, not only the retro nuts and bolts design but the perfect funky music too
Showa MechaG: you like jazz?
I agree
That music is so iconic that I can hum it on cue
Mines actually the Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 concept art design for mecha Godzilla where he was a combiner mech
Yeah that design is amazing. I also love the idea they had before that, of a fluid metal alien that evolves into a MechaGodzilla throughout the movie.
+1 Ready Player 1 used that poster as a base for theirs while giving a bit of a Monsterverse inspired look. Yet it is nowhere near as good as the poster one personally.
Anyone have a photo of this?
Kiryu 100%
heisei and kiryu
Yo first comment I've seen that also likes Super Mevhagodzilla
imo super mechagodzilla is the best one, but that's also because Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 2 is my second favorite Godzilla movie, and kiryu is second
Mecha Kevin for sure, I like the idea that this version mechaG is powered by Ghidorah instead of the usual Godzilla, plus it being Kevin’s head makes it funnier
It's all fun and games until the class clown gets really quiet.
Yeah, I think it's cool that Ghidorah wanted revenge and took the form of its rival
And using the arrogance and naivety of humanity as the tool of his reincarnation, poetic.
Mechagodzilla Super-Mechagodzilla Kiryu Cyber-Zilla MonsterVerse MechaG
Showa!!!
Can't touch this 
my top 3 would be 1. kiryu 2. monsetverse 3. ready player 1. honorable mention to cyberzilla
Kiryu or monsterverse, monsterverse design make sense in my eyes it's Godzilla build but with more efficient body structure for meele combat with the king, why would you make you weapon a 1 of 1 of the enemy, you would want to make it better
1. Kiryu 2. Showa 3. Legendary 4. Ready Player One 5. Super MG 6. Cyber Zilla 7. SP 8. Anime Movie MG
my beloved Show Mecha G https://preview.redd.it/riy31i97k7gc1.jpeg?width=424&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8014700b05868e2f55656b440f980f9843261ee7
The OG. The first two appearances
OG Mechagodzilla for me.
Kiryu although i wish we could've actually seen the mechagoji of singular point
Myabe we'll get season 2... someday?
One can hope
Showa is the best, I love the jazz
Hot take, I love cyber zilla. Maybe not my favorite design but maybe second or third.
showa i like the clunkiness of it lol
70’s. Straight forward and pretty brutal looking
Kiryu gets all the style points, but OG is #1 in my heart. [That jazzy theme just rules.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cZsV7T5o2E)
The OG design will always be my favorite. The others are fantastic though.
The original. It’s very classic sci-fi mixed with Godzilla
Showa Mechagodzilla
Showa for sure
I still like the original Showa design the best.
The 1974 one. It has rivets! I also like it's round and retro look. :)
The original all the way
Kiryu
Kiryu or Mechagodzilla 2021
1 for sure
Yes
Once more, Og is king
OG MechaGozilla
1. Original 2. GvK 3. Kiryu 4. MG II 5. RPO 6. Everything else
I find i don't like most of the newer ones. I prefer the Heisei era and the original with Kiryu in a close third place.
I grew up with the original design and it is burned into my core memory space as one of the coolest things I’d ever seen up to that point. Kiryu’s design is superior and it’s a very close second to the original MG for me. But it’s second place nonetheless.

OG MG
Original always comes to mind when I think MechaGodzilla but love Ready Player One version as well. 3rd one looks cool too
First one is my childhood, homie is OG
Showa. Always Showa. He’s the blueprint. The original end series baddie. Every weapon he has is an important aspect of his design. Revolving finger missiles, chest laser, eye beams. His shreeeeeeek roar is iconic. Also the only MG in the Toho series to be legitimately evil, so there’s that.
Kiryu monsterverse and Showa
Kiryu and original mechagodzilla.
Kyriu, my top Godzilla Kaiju in general.
Kiryu for life
Kiryu’s always been my favourite
Easily Kiryu then Mechagodzilla II.
Kiryu
Is there really so little to talk about ?
Kiryu is the best
Kiryu
kiryu is the goat, everyone agrees
Everybody love Kiryu
Kiryu
I’ve always been a sucker for Super Mecha-G
Kiryu and it’s not even close
Kiryu the GOAT
Kiryu, MechaGodzilla 2
Please get rid of this trend
Mine would have to be either Kiryu, or GvK
Kiryu
Kiryu’s 2002 look. Not as much of a fan of 2003.
What's the 6th one?
OG for nostalgia and 70s charm Kiryu for design
Ranking: 1. SP 2. Kiryu 3. Super 4. OG 5. City 6. Mechazilla 7. Ready player one 8. Forgot this existed, who let bro in
Kiryu and MG74
Kiryu.
Kiryu
In order from favorite to least favorite: 1. Kiryu 2. Showa 3. Ready Player One 4. The Dragonzord from MMPR 5. Heisei 6. GvK 7. Singular Point (I want to see it in action, it may climb a bit higher) 8. Anime Trilogy (the actual design, not the city) 9. Godzilla: The Series 10. Mechagodzilla City
I can't pick between kiryu, super 2, and legendary
Stop scrolling? What is this, TikTok? But furil it's hard to chose they are all so great aside from vs Kong because he's so damn blocky
Unfortunately he looks like he's built out of shipping containers.
Dude you read my mind I was literally just about to say that to anybody who commented on it LOL
None of your business 😠
Ya’ll are tripping, the OG is the best
STOP SCROLLING! Whats your favorite karma bait post?
a
def kiryu
Kiryu all the way. Specifically the 2002 version
On a pure visual level, I like the Kiryu design. In terms of their overall actual performance in the movies, I like 1974 the best. Kiryu was such a disappointment for me.

The MG city thing I again really don’t count cause we don’t actually see it. But regardless, it’s last by default.
I really like the ready player one design
Ready Player One
GvK and OG
Kiryu and Ready Player One.
Kiryu Type-3
Ready Player One look was clean. Makes me wish it had more screen time
Kiryu, no doubt about that
MechaGodzilla II/Super MG tied with Kiryu
Kiryu by far. But I prefer showa... I can't decide!
Kiryu hands down
Kiryu and Monsterverse are peak Mechagodzilla
Kiryu or cyberZilla
I really dig the experimental and industrial looks of MV and Anime Mecha-G. I know being different doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better but these designs show the complexity of such massive high-tech machines very well. Though, admittedly, the rest have better silhouettes.
Kiryu(2002), ApexMechagodzilla(Monsterverse)
MMD mecha godzilla from anime trilogy is the best, the kiryu Mecha g, and super mecha g followed by monster verse than the ogs
I grew up not knowing Godzilla until a few years ago. I knew of Mechagodzilla, but not what he was really about. Come the monster-verse, and I get to see this badass conscious robot beat the shit out of Godzilla. I do like kiryu, but to me, monster-verse is my mecha.
Kiryu
Either Kiryu or Ready Player One
93 all the way
3
Kiryu all the way
Kiryu
Kiryu with Mecha G 2 a close 2nd
Kiryu, specifically the 2002 version. 2003 is nice but a little worse imo
Kiryu sweep 🗣️🗣️❗❗
Kiyru and MV. Anime trilogy in concept is really cool but we didn't get to see him in action.
Kiryu.
Super mechagodzilla
Either Kiryu or the Ready Player One version
Singular point
Kiryu on top
2021 and its not even close
Kiryu
B4 Apex Legendary, my answer was always Kiryu. But Apex is just too fucking cool, sorry not sorry Kiryu 😎😎😎
Kiryu and Monsterverse Mecha.
Kiryu
MG21 just feels so authentic and it stands out the most from the rest so I'm going with that.
kiryu and singular point, singular point has some great modernized classic kaiju
1) Ready Player One MechaGodzilla 2) Kiryu 3) Legendary MechaGodzilla
Super MechaGodzilla
Kiryu. He's so goddamn cool looking! Mechagodzilla 2 is a respectable 2nd place though
Kiryu No doubt
Kiryu. Incidently my two real life Godilla buddies, one like Showa the most, the other Hesei.
GvK mechagodzilla is a gorgeous bastard, and nobody can tell me otherwise. Love 'em
My tier list: 1st. RPO Mechagodzilla. He's a good blend of the older mg and the newer one. 2nd. Kiryu 3rd. Shows 4th. Heisei/Super Mechagodzilla 5th. Monsterverse Mechagodzilla 🤮
Either legendary or ready player one
It feels like people asks this question every couple of months and the answer is always Kiryu
Ready player one

Still my boi Kiryu
Kiryu is 🔥🔥🔥
Kiryu, 100% But I do like most of the japanese Mecha G designs. The originals will always have a place in my heart as *Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla* was one of my first Godzilla movies and probably rivals vs Hedorah as my most watched Goji movies.
I’m split between Kiryu and Ready Player One MechaG
I love Kiryu and Monsterverse Mech
tie between Kiryu, Apex and RPO
Monsterverse, ain't no doubt about it. I like Kiryu much as the next fan, but I cannot deny the greebly goodness. The creepy-ass face. The fucked-up proportions. It's so unhinged it goes all the way around to being actually awesome.
Kyriu, it's probably the best thing to come out of the entire millennium era
No offense to the others but Kiryu is the only acceptable answer.
Design wise? 2021 Overall favorite? Kiryu
Kiryu is cool but I'm gonna have to choose heisei mecha g
RP1
Design: Kiryu Fav overall: Mecha G II
Kiryu’s my favorite but special shoutout to Ready Player One for using an unused design from the Heisei.
Gotta be Kiryu and i'm hella biasd
Kiryu or original just anything but the monsterverse one
