Description
(Cuz he's the Juggernaut, bitch!)Beetle Monster
MEGALON
Height: 60 meters
Mass: 30,000 metric tons
Type 2 - Warrior Class
Bio:
MEGALON is a perfect example of the sort of "Kaiju For Hire" system created by the Nebulans (or their predeccesors), in that, some unseen time in the past, they had sent the cyborg kaiju to the as yet legendary kingdom of Seatopia in order to aid in their invasion of the surface.
Megalon is not a terribly bright kaiju, and that's being generous. The giant beetle-like creature is a later creation than Gigan, yet he is by no means an improvement, rather a step in a different direction. Megalon mostly follows whatever orders are given to him, and carries out mass destruction where needed. He doesn't seem capable of planned combat or the sort of "honor" that Gigan practices, yet point him in the right direction, and everything in a 50 to 70 mile radius will be flattened, burned, pulverized, or any combination thereof.
Megalon seems lost without something guiding his actions, and will either wander about aimlessly or flail about insanely until he tires his circuits out. Nevertheless, Megalon is never to be underestimated, as his capability grows exponentially when Gigan appears on the scene, as he is given new direction and focus by his older brother.
The giant beetle-god engaged in battle with Godzilla and Anguirus alongside his brother in the newly constructed Children's Land theme-park outside of Tokyo. While the two beasts put up a fearsome offensive, the Earth kaiju managed to gain an upper claw through the help of a handful of humans and the robot Jet Jaguar. Megalon had since disappeared beneath the Earth, trying to find his way back to Seatopia.
NOTE: It is interesting to consider that Megalon resembles a god in Seatopian religion, and High Priest Antonio used both the monster and his alliance with the Nebulans to coerce the populace of Seatopia to gain a quick rise to power and launch an attack on humanity's civilization.
Abilities/Aspects:
-Can generate intense electicity and compound it into a burst of lightening from horns
-Able to spit napalm-filled organic spheres from mouth
-Gigantic arms used as drills
-Can compress body, using combined drill-arms to form a living drill to blast through rock
-Able to hover for short distances, but slow due to sheer mass
UP NEXT: Jet Jaguar

I first read his name in Calvin and Hobbes. Thought he was Godzilla's archenemy rather than King Ghidorah.

Dude got ripped after his fight with Godzilla. I would really enjoy it if THIS incarnation was made into one of the movies.

A giant mercenary beetle? Now I've heard everything! This probably came later, but it kind of reminds me of MegaKabuterimon from Digimon.

Gigan and Megalon are two different kaiju in the monster-verse. Gigan is a cybernetic alien kaiju and Megalon is a giant insect kaiju.Β

I'll always have a soft spot for Megalon and Ebirah, their movies were some of the first Godzilla movies I ever seen.

According to Toho, Megalon is a purely organic creature. This is just the version that exists in this particular universe, creative license if you wi

Friend, don't say it doesn't look good and then not explain the reason WHY. It just makes you sound like you are being contrarian to go against the opinions of those that do like the picture, and nothing else.

manbog In reply to Dechstreme [2015-09-27 12:22:24 +0000 UTC]
I think it doesn't look so good because I used to think Megalon was organic, and the way Matt portrays him, he's a giant, mechanic beetle. Sort of takes out the wonder for me to see giant beetles with drills on his hands..

Megalon...for some reason one of my favorites of the monsters even if he looks goofy(the original, this is just badass), don't know why maybe its the head or the fact that his body is all but drills and spike armor.

Though hardly one of the strongest films of the series, it seems to me that Godzilla vs Megalon is the one Godzilla those movies that EVERYONE has seen, Goji-fan or not.
I think that's because it's one of the defining moments of the series: Where Gojira was by far the most serious and somber of the Godzilla stories, Godzilla vs Megalon was just the opposite; it was the epitome of the fun, cheesy, lighter tone the series took on in the 70's (though not to the point of becoming mind-numbingly stupid like Godzilla's Revenge), which true lovers of camp can never get enough of.

I love the ideas you made for Megalon here. Being a cyborg and "brother" (for lack of a better term) of Gigan. While I did like his bizarre organic anatomy in his film, if I had to chose I'd chose this.
