Thanks, once upon a time this was a card image for a kaiju gaming set, but I don't work for the jerks involved with that anymore.  Still happy with the picture.

Yeah, I appreciate Toho for trying to up the ante with their special effects, but Rodan was a little hard to manage as a puppet.  Still, I've gotta give 'em credit, the fight scenes with the big bird were pretty fantastic.

When it comes to Fire Rodan, people are usually giving him crap on his animatronics. But like Bill said, it didn't really bother me.

But Fire Rodan is the only version of Rodan that has a beam attack, so that's something cool about him

Indeed. (about his uranium beam)

Have you seen the Heisei Mechagodzilla film?

JeditheSciFiFreak In reply to T-R-E-V [2015-01-29 05:19:49 +0000 UTC]

It was uranium?


Of course, I owned the Sony release DVD and I liked a lot because when I was younger, I did not know that there was another Mechagodzilla movie, my first exposure to MechaG was through "Against MechaG" and "Terror of MechaG," so it was a surprise when I discovered this movie

That's its official name. Go to Toho Kingdom man, it will give you some cool stats on the kaiju in their films.

Oh, that's a cool personal backstory. It's my absolute fave of the Heisei series, bar none. I'm just surprised you couldn't tell he was a prop, rather than a guy in a suit.

I really didn't considering the Showa and Millennium Rodan were guys in suits, I thought the Heisei one was too

T-R-E-V In reply to JeditheSciFiFreak [2015-01-29 05:38:24 +0000 UTC]

Would have something to do with the radiation that mutated him, I figure.

Oh, it was quite obvious that Showa and Millennium Rody were guys in suits, especially since they were the same size as Godzilla.

Wish we could ask the experts.

Oh no. Not even close. In fact, he's criticized for being much smaller than other Rodans.

After all, we must ask, why are Ghidorah's beams called gravity beams?

And I don't mind at all, because Pterodactyls/Pteranodons were much smaller than dinosaurs anyway. But, if he was like Quetzalcoatlus....

T-R-E-V In reply to JeditheSciFiFreak [2015-01-30 04:12:37 +0000 UTC]

Well yeah, because he's defying gravity when he's flying. He's technically way too big to be flying otherwise.

It's another saying. I'm basically saying Quetzalcoatlus is a VERY BIG pterosaur.

Even then, KG is MASSIVE, so he certainly needs some otherworldly ability to help him get to and fro. What this has to do with his energy weapons, well, requires a little more research on my part.

Yes Sir. Showa and Millennium Rodan are more like Quetzal in that regard.

Why KG's energy weapons are called gravity beams?

Heisei, size and design-wise, is definitely pteranodon/pterodactyl inspired. Showa and Millennium are far larger, more so cuz they're kaiju, more than anything.

Yeah it would be a good topic. You're sure to get some answers from more knowledgeable G-fans.

But, to get back on topic, I know Fire Rodan is an animatronic prop and not a guy in a suit because of two reasons:

1. The design doesn't allow for a guy in a suit to portray it. (Too small, most importantly)

2. I've seen behind-the-scenes of the prop being used on the set of the movie.
