Description (Instead of a bulky, badly-designed Monster X digivolution, I kind of took the weirdly conceptualized "fire dragon" ending of DAM and mixed it as a sort of Super-Saiyan-esque power-up state for Ghidorah)

Fire Dragon
KAISER GHIDORAH

HEIGHT: 150 meters
MASS: 75,000 metric tons
TYPE 3 – Uber Class

BIO:
After the Monster Zero War, KING GHIDORAH once more limped off into the cold depths of space, defeated by Earth’s monsters. But this time he had another trick up his giant, golden sleeves. One that would require time and patience…but if there was one thing the golden dragon knew how to do, it was wait…
Astronaut Glenn was the first official ambassador to Planet X in the years following the war. Planet X was now leaderless and its military utterly spent, so the United Nations stepped in to form a small colony of Earthlings on X that would oversee its reconstruction (not unlike the aftermath of WWII) and its economic and political re-shaping. In exchange, goods and resources from Earth were provided.
Glenn was known as a lot of things: a tactical wunderkind, a diplomat and one hell of a nice guy, but he was also notorious for being a lady’s man. Though he was heartbroken over the loss of Miss Namikawa, he had no shortage of comfort found on Planet X. After a year or so he took a wife, X-175B19, and became something of a celebrity on Earth…it was then all the more tragic when he was murdered in his home in California by anti-Xillian radicals. The killers were arrested, and X-175B19 returned to Planet X with nary an expression on her face.
Perhaps the most tragic turn in this farcical tale is that X-175B19 bore a son not long after Glenn’s death. The newly appointed X Council wanted the Earthling-Xillian hybrid disposed of immediately, but the UN occupational higher-ups, aghast at the coldness of the council, demanded that the child be left the live a normal life. The council then asked the UN to take the boy, but the UN pointed out that his closest family was on X…not at all understanding that Xillians don’t really have families. Still, the council capitulated, and the boy was placed in the usual Xillian processing for younglings: education, conditioning and finally assignment to a task that he’ll perform until his body gives out and he’s incinerated.
Of course, anyone reading this knows that this is not what happened.

X-175B20(H) was an outcast, which, in Xillian society, is really, really saying something. The usual coldness that surrounded him was compounded since he wasn’t so much regarded with contempt as he was sort of like an object, such as a block of run-of-the-mill-gold, not really even worth acknowledging…and his human DNA screamed bloody murder at it all. He craved companionship and emotion, which got him into trouble, and it was only by the grace of the UN Occupation that he wasn’t eliminated in the first offense of emotional outburst (a bizarre incident involving a female Xillian). Eventually, the young man turned to the only friend he had: a little voice in his head. It whispered to him and coaxed him one way or another, to do strange and unexpected things. He began developing powers even, latent psychic abilities that allowed him to cause even more trouble. Finally he was placed on the outskirts of the city, a hydrogen-oxide retriever, his psychic abilities little more than a plaything and an extra pair of hands during work.
Finally, one day, he just…
Freaking.
Snapped.

He assaulted the co-workers he rarely saw and began a small rampage, destroying and pillaging work stations. The council had been waiting for this opportunity, and sent a platoon of soldiers to deal with him. In the ensuing firefight, X-175B20(H) escaped in a commandeered spacecraft. The UN Occupation wanted him brought in for trial and questioning, possibly some counseling and rehabilitation, but the council was glad to be rid of him and focused on other matters.
The young man sped far past Jupiter and right into the asteroid belt, where he landed on a particularly large asteroid…that he found to be inhabited. A race of sentient invertebrates made of living metal existed deep in within the asteroid where there was some semblance of a planetary core, the last fragment of the planet that became the belt. They had limited technology left over from their once-great race, but the little voice told X-175B20(H) to stick around, maybe even help these "people"...they could be useful. Calling himself “The Regulator,” he helped them make great advances in technology thanks to his ship and to his own brilliant mind and abilities. The Kilaaks, as they called themselves, praised him as a hero and did almost anything he commanded. He convinced them to fashion their crude exoskeletons into sultry and appealing (and fully-functional) tech-bodies based on Xillian females.
Years passed…decades even. The Regulator barely aged, and his army was growing. It was when his fleet of Kilaak ships was completed that he set his plan in motion: a great play, a grand drama with no point or purpose but to make himself known throughout the universe. All the while, that little voice plucked away at him…
After attacking Planet X, crippling its infrastructure and cutting off its communications, he stole a massive amount of mind-control tech from the MZ War days, and headed straight for Earth. What followed was the greatest war in the history of the galaxy; monsters fought monsters, human fought kilaak, and all the while the Regulator laughed and clapped at what he had wrought.
Finally, the little voice became a great voice, and after battling Ozaki, he declared that it was time that the battle of the Kaisers would be taken to a new level; the voice was KING GHIDORAH’s, who had, over decades, prolonged his life and increased his power, and now that power erupted and turned him into MONSTER X!
X fought Godzilla to a standstill, and then tried to compound his power into one final attack, but then found himself frozen in mid-air…a fireball filled the sky, and his body was engulfed in it…King Ghidorah’s plan had come to fruition, and Ghidorah augmented his own power with X’s to become KAISER GHIDORAH!

RenDragonClaw [2009-09-28 00:10:11 +0000 UTC]

This is very unexpected lol. I guess if Ghidorah is solar powered, and kaiser is the equivilent of going super saiyan, and Ghidorah was already awesome to begin with, then a super nova ghidorah literally crackling with energy like a giant three headed dracoian Pyron is probably the most logical result. Combining Destroy all Monsters with Final Wars in order to get Ghidorah throughly into the thick of things in a combined fashion is a good angle. The fire dragon concept from Destroy All Monsters also works surprisingly well here.

I must admit that it does look a bit sketchy. Being a super charged energy being does give it some leeway but some more solid details in the body would improve him. Going back a bit later to fine tune it would probably solidify the thing. I'll say this much, just about anything is an improvement over what the movie gave us. I personally ran with the four legged angle and kept most of the more iconic features of the design and just tried to make it more stable and feasible. When I compare the two I find that mine works almost like a different kaiju entirely rather than another version of Ghidorah. This works as a Ghidorah upgrade or as close to one as you can get without making him come out like Orochi lol.

Being that Ghidorah Neo pretty much as avian legs, its going to be interesting to see how you handle the foreleg sections of Mecha King Ghidorah.

RenDragonClaw In reply to GodzillaKiryu91 [2009-09-28 06:06:32 +0000 UTC]

It wasn't an actual kaiju. The Kilaak had ships that when they spun fast enough literally turned into flying balls of fire. It was called the Fire Dragon. The resemblance to Ghidorah's meteor form is just too uncanny. I presume that the concepts for the Fire Dragon involved an actual kaiju that had a similar theme. Obviously this was a little beyond Toho's ability to bring to the set so they settled on a little inanimate space ship instead. Go go blue screen overlap .

Well, the hallmarks of Kaiser Ghidorah (aside from being poorly executed and ugly as sin in a bad way) were basically that he's huge, has four legs, has a mixture of black and gold colors, is armored, and has spiked knees. Thats roughly what differentiates Kaiser Ghidorah from every other Ghidorah. I've looked at that character for quite awhile and I was just as appalled at its ugliness as Matt Probably was. I really wanted to fix it when it came to my SD entry for him. So I did my usual combine-the-four-into-one operation on him and got what you'd find in the second sketch study. Still has four legs with spiked knees, still looks a bit like X, still has three heads and two tails...but its done better. The original's armor was a mess, it looked like melted tin foil that was burnt with a blow torch. I organized his armor and added my own personal touches to the heads. The one thing I wish I had really done with my Hybrid Kaiser Ghidorah is make the necks longer. Aside from that I think its gold. This Kaiser Ghidorah Neo is a take on the same idea but in a different way so I rather like it. Really, anything is an improvement over what the movie had. It was an abomination in terms of craftsmanship.

MJTannacore In reply to ??? [2009-09-27 23:44:44 +0000 UTC]

I'm rather half and half with this. This would make an awesome "pupae" stage between KG Neo and a final version of Kaiser Ghidorah (think of the power "solidifying" or consolidating into what Kaiser would eventually become).

One of the reasons being, if you notice in most kaiju/sentai (and even anime/manga) series, a transformation into a more powerful form is usually a *significant* deviation from the previous form (just look at Frieza in DBZ, or "Super Godzilla"). While I absolutely hated the design for Kaiser in GFW (let's face it, almost everytime we get to see the concept artwork after the movie, it seems Toho always pics the worst design of the bunch. Just google the Orga or Destoroyah concept art if you want to see shining examples of this. Heck, even Battra's original concepts were way cooler than the admittedly pretty cool final design), I still think they had a better understanding of the direction Kaiser was heading in (as someone else mentioned, sacrificing grace for raw power). This design actually seems to go in the opposite direction, more graceful (I can see a glistening energy trail following him as he flies through the sky) but not as powerful or even cohesive.

SliverEmperor In reply to ??? [2009-09-27 23:29:39 +0000 UTC]

And apparently, I have no idea how your mind works, because I did NOT expect any of this apart from the whole "new form of King Ghidorah" bit. It's quite an intimidating beast, extremely similar to your original version of the great destroyer, but so clearly empowered that it still works as a new monster (and also fits with the epic glow Godzilla had briefly when being charged with his own Keizer boost at the end of FW).

Once again, though, the main draw is the storyline. Ironically, it combines all the elements of Destroy All Monsters and Final Wars that you didn't get to use in the original King Ghidorah's history, and it's strangely fitting that the Kilaaks-a heat-based species-would be the unwitting pawns in the firey revival and upgrade of the King of Terror. Totally awesome, man!

On an unrelated note, I think I know where you're going with Mecha-King Ghidorah's redesign...

Well, this is just a guess, but I'm thinking that MKG is Keizer Ghidorah's battered, drained remains turned into a cyborg by the humans or by the aliens from Super Godzilla, which either gets sicced on Godzilla or goes rogue and fights Godzilla anyway. I'm probably WAY off the mark, but it's a theory

I Definitely think this design is rather awesome, It definitely is an improvement over the Keizer Ghidorah from the Final Wars movie, although, I did think the mix of Black and Gold was a nice touch in color. I mainly hated the Wing design and the fact that it was on For legs (Which to me, only worked well with Des Ghidorah).

The Fire thing is pretty cool, and does add to it's already imposing look. Backstory is Epic as well, but I've come to expect no less from ya. Er... in a Good way I mean ;

Great work!

Mecha-GREGOLE [2009-09-27 23:10:48 +0000 UTC]

Love the backstory.

Hate the design.


I confess, a fiery, semisolid, semi-energy motif is a great idea for Kaiser Ghidorah.

It's just that King Ghidorah's Neo's design, as a base, inspires no shortage of disgust with me.


I liked the movie design. It was huge, stable, but it lacked wings. It sacrificed grace, beauty and speed for raw power. That's what a "One Winged Angel" for King Ghidorah should be.


This design is every bit as frail, overcomplicated, uninspiring and unimpressive as KG Neo.

You've got a great basis for his backstory, tying him into the story for a DAM-style climax. But the design fails to live up to that.


Like before, it tries WAY too hard to impress, focusing on looking as shiny as possible, while having almost no substance.
