Trivia

The likely inspiration for Mechagodzilla’s creation was Mechani-Kong, introduced in 1966.

An “MG” symbol was placed on the first Showa Mechagodzilla’s arms. In Terror of Mechagodzilla, the emblems on the new robot read “MG2”.

Black Mechagodzilla (ブラックメカゴジラ), based on the Showa Mechagodzilla, appeared in Godzilla Island. It was apparently much stronger than its predecessor. The Heisei Mechagodzilla was actually Godzilla’s ally in the aforementioned television series.

In the 30 Rock episode “Chain Reaction of Mental Anguish”, a character is wearing a Mechagodzilla costume.

The Millennium version of Mechagodzilla was nicknamed “Kiryuu” (機龍), which translates to “Machine Dragon”. The real life city Kiryuu (桐生市) is located in Gunma, Japan.

Unlike its previous incarnations, Kiryuu could move its tail.

One of Zilla’s foes in Godzilla: The Series, Cyber-Zilla, was probably an homage to Mechagodzilla and or Mecha-King Ghidorah.
