Godzilla
"The Colossus of Atlantis"
Created by the Atlantans, the Colossus was put in charge of awakening the people of the city, who went into suspended animation to escape a great earthquake. However, during the huge earthquake that sank the city, the robot was damaged and thus turned evil, keeping its own makers in suspended animation. The city rose from the depths in modern times and the monstrous robot awoke. Soon the Calico was drawn into the city by a tractor beam and called Godzilla for help, though he was also dragged into the city, allowing the Calico to be destroyed in the city's interior. Looking around, the crew soon found the Colossus wandering the streets in search of life to destroy. Knowing they'd need him, they began to search for Godzilla.
When the Colossus blasted a building with its beams, Godzilla was revealed to also be in suspended animation. However, Godzooky tricked the robot into firing at Godzilla. The blasts awoke him and Godzilla started fighting the Colossus. Godzilla ripped both of its arms off, but many more simply replaced it. Knowing his foe was mechanical, Godzilla carried the Colossus to the sea. In a single throw, the machine was sent into the deep and short-circuited. The destruction of the Colossus woke not just the Atlantans, but also Quinn and Brock, who were trapped in suspended animation. The Atlantans sent the Calico crew back in time before their ship was destroyed and then retreated into the void of space where they had originally came from.
