MGR-IInd
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MGR-IInd is an original G-Force mecha that appears in the 1999 video game Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact.
Name
Rather than being an acronym, the "MGR" in MGR-IInd's name is an abbreviated way to say MOGUERA, with each letter corresponding to the katakana characters for MOGUERA's Japanese name: Mogera—M (Emu) = モ, G (Jī) = ゲ, R (Aru) = ラ. The furigana included in Godzilla 1954-1999 Super Complete Works nevertheless indicates that MGR is read as if it were an initialism rather than being read as "Moguera." The "IInd" part of its name is read as "second."
Design
MGR-IInd resembles MOGUERA but with more exaggerated proportions. MGR-IInd is grey with a small head with a small black drill, backwards facing crest, and a large yellow visor that curves around the underside of its drill. Beneath its head is the machine's cockpit. MGR-IInd has a massive torso with a large slanted backpack which lacks a sawblade. Located on MGR-IInd's stomach is a circular port which it fires its Plasma Cannon from. MGR-IInd has massive spherical shoulders with two arms on each side: one on the top and bottom. These arms are massive and have thrusters or vents located on their backs. Each of its arms end in a large black claw which houses its missiles. Instead of having legs, MGR-IInd's lower half is more tank-like, with a pair of large treads, but still retains design elements from the Star Falcon. MGR-IInd has various red accents located around its body, similar to SMG-IInd.
Origins
MGR-IInd was created by the United Nations G Countermeasure Center in order to confront and defeat Godzilla. It is implied to be the successor of MOGUERA, being referred to as "the next generation of combat mecha" and as the second iteration of the robot.
History
- Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact (1999) - Sega Dreamcast
Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact
MGR-IInd was created by the United Nations G Countermeasure Center as the next generation of combat mecha to be used against Godzilla. Whilst originally designed with the intent of being mass-produced, only one prototype was given to G-Force due to issues with its offensive power and durability. After being equipped with hyper-seismic warheads, the machine and its three-man crew confronted Godzilla, only to be defeated shortly after.
Abilities
Laser Nuclear Fusion Reactor
MGR-IInd is powered by a Laser Nuclear Fusion Reactor (レーザー核融合炉 rezakakuyuugou ro).
Diamond coating
MGR-IInd is protected by the Heat-Resistant Alloy NT-1+ (超耐熱合金NT-1+ chou tainetsugoukin NT-1+), which is coated in an Artificial Diamond Coating (人工ダイヤモンドコーティング jinkō daiyamondokōtingu).
Plasma Cannon
MGR-IInd can fire a powerful beam from a port on its abdomen in an attack called the Plasma Cannon (プラズマキャノン purazuma kyanon). This attack continuously draws plasma from its nuclear fusion reactor but destabilizes MGR-IInd's reactor core.
Hyper Vibration Missile
Located in each of MGR-IInd's claws are Hyper Vibration Missiles (超振動ミサイル chō shindō misairu), large anti-monster missiles that destroy a target's biological tissue through the combined effects of hyper vibration and explosive power. MGR-IInd was also stated to have been originally equipped with normal missiles, the exact specifications of which are unknown.
