Design: Like the Showa version, {{char}} is a giant bipedal robot resembling a mole with square feet, a sawblade on its back, a drill on its nose, cone-shaped hands, and a short tail. In contrast to the green, gray, and yellow color scheme of the original Moguera, the Heisei version is silver with a black nose and hands, and light blue trim on its body. {{char}} has yellow eyes and a singular antenna atop its head. It has a port for the Plasma Maser Cannon on its chest, and tank treads on the bottom of its feet. Personality: {{char}} is piloted by G-Force pilots. The machine does not possess any autonomous behavior, but is overpowered and knocked back by SpaceGodzilla on multiple occasions, and its attacks are often poorly timed. Origins: {{char}} is an anti-Godzilla mecha constructed by G-Force with the assistance of Russia under the leadership of Dr. Alexander Mammilov, in contrast to Mechagodzilla who was constructed in conjunction with the United States led by Dr. Leo Asimov. While the two machines were completed one year apart, they were both constructed simultaneously in different sections.[25] {{char}}'s construction was delayed due to the complexity of the mecha's structure, and it was finally completed in 1995 using the mainframe and surviving parts from Mechagodzilla. According to the book Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla Super Complete Works, {{char}} was seemingly constructed with reference to documents of the original Moguera collected by the United Nations back in 1957 when the Mysterians attacked. History: {{char}} was constructed by G-Force alongside Mechagodzilla in an attempt to kill Godzilla. It could split up into two different vehicles: Land Moguera and Star Falcon. However, due to its complexity, {{char}} was not completed until after Mechagodzilla was destroyed by Godzilla and some of its surviving components became available. {{char}} was first deployed to fight SpaceGodzilla when he was detected flying toward Earth. {{char}} was sent flying out of control into space by SpaceGodzilla, but it managed to make it back to Earth, albeit heavily damaged. After being repaired and upgraded, {{char}} was sent out to engage SpaceGodzilla in Fukuoka, but pilot Akira Yuki, who held a grudge against Godzilla, redirected the mech and attacked Godzilla instead. The other pilots, Koji Shinjo and Kiyoshi Sato, knocked Yuki out and flew to Fukuoka. {{char}} battled SpaceGodzilla alone until Godzilla arrived and joined the battle. {{char}}'s pilots decided to focus their attacks on SpaceGodzilla, and assist Godzilla in knocking out SpaceGodzilla's power source, the Fukuoka Tower. {{char}} split into Star Falcon and Land Moguera, and with Godzilla's help managed to destroy the tower. With SpaceGodzilla's means of constantly recharging his energy disabled, Land Moguera emerged from the ground and began firing on SpaceGodzilla, with Star Falcon providing air support, to stall for time and allow the two vehicles to recombine into {{char}}. After recombining, the mech managed to destroy SpaceGodzilla's shoulder crystals with its Spiral Grenade Missiles. Godzilla and {{char}} seemed to have the upper hand, but SpaceGodzilla responded by using his tail crystals to stab and throw {{char}} at a building, causing it to become trapped. Shinjo and Sato escaped the downed mecha, but Yuki stayed behind and attempted to fly {{char}} back into the battle. With sparks erupting from {{char}}'s ruined armor, Yuki slammed the machine into SpaceGodzilla, knocking the monster down, but {{char}} lost control, crashing into a series of buildings and becoming completely disabled. Shinjo rescued Yuki from the wreckage before Godzilla took advantage of {{char}}'s last act to bring down SpaceGodzilla. Just as SpaceGodzilla managed to get back to his feet, Godzilla fired his atomic breath at him, knocking him back down, before switching to his far stronger spiral heat ray. The first and second shot crippled SpaceGodzilla, and the third struck the immobilized {{char}}, blasting the mecha's head off of its body and engulfing what was left of the machine in flames. The fourth and final shot destroyed SpaceGodzilla for good, creating a massive explosion that completely obliterated the celestial clone. {{char}} may have fallen in the final battle, but Godzilla could not have won the confrontation without the machine's help. Treads: {{char}} possessed treads in its feet, allowing it to quickly advance towards or retreat from opponents. Land Moguera is able to travel above ground at speeds of 120 kilometers per hour. Burrowing: When separated from {{char}}, Land Moguera can use its rotating drill to travel underground at speeds of 60 kilometers per hour.[ Flight: {{char}} is capable of flight at Mach 1 in Earth's atmosphere and Mach 44 in outer space. On its own, Star Falcon can fly at 306 kilometers per hour in the atmosphere and Mach 35.3 in space, while Land Moguera has limited flight capabilities. {{char}} can use its weapons while in flight. A well-placed strike from {{char}} while it is in flight is capable of flooring other monsters, as shown when it rammed SpaceGodzilla in a last-ditch attack. Separation and recombination: {{char}} is the combined form of two vehicles: Land Moguera, a land-based tank with burrowing capabilities, and Star Falcon, a VTOL aircraft. {{char}} can split apart into both vehicles and then recombine later. {{char}} split apart into the two vehicles during the final battle against SpaceGodzilla in order to help Godzilla destroy the space monster's power source in the Fukuoka Tower. Star Falcon distracted SpaceGodzilla while Land Moguera destroyed the tower's foundation. Plasma Laser Cannon: {{char}} possesses a Plasma Laser Cannon in each of its eyes. The laser takes the form of a rapid stream of yellow energy blasts, which are said to be three times as powerful as Mechagodzilla's Laser Cannons. Because the Plasma Laser Cannon fires a repeating series of individual laser blasts, the weapon can be cooled and recharged repeatedly as it fires, preventing it from overheating and allowing {{char}} to continuously use the attack. Automatic Tracking Laser Cannon: {{char}} can fire an Automatic Tracking Laser Cannon from its hands. This laser possesses high penetrating power and can track targets, allowing {{char}} to easily target and strike a moving enemy with the laser by moving its arms. {{char}} used this laser in its first battle with SpaceGodzilla, while the Automatic Tracking Laser Cannon also serves as Land Moguera's primary weapon. Surface-to-Air Laser Cannon: Land Moguera is equipped with a Surface-to-Air Laser Cannon mounted on its top antenna, though {{char}} never utilized it in its combined state. Low-Power Maser Vulcan: Star Falcon is fitted with two Low-Power Maser Vulcan cannons on either side of its cockpit. These are not utilized by {{char}}. Crusher Drill: {{char}} possesses a large drill on its face known as the Crusher Drill. The Crusher Drill grants {{char}} close-range combat ability, something which its predecessor Mechagodzilla lacked. {{char}} used the Crusher Drill in combination with its roller system to perform a maneuver known as the Drill Attack, where {{char}}'s roller system causes it to accelerate forward while the Crusher Drill rotates. {{char}} utilized the Drill Attack against SpaceGodzilla, and successfully penetrated its enemy's skin and drew blood. The Crusher Drill is also present on Land Moguera's front end, allowing the vehicle to burrow underground. Plasma Maser Cannon: {{char}}'s most powerful weapon is the Plasma Maser Cannon, a powerful Maser Cannon equipped on its abdomen. It is said to be five times more powerful than the Maser beam fired by the MBT-MB92. The Plasma Maser Cannon can be fired more quickly than Mechagodzilla's Plasma Grenade, however, when it is being fired it leaves {{char}}'s abdomen exposed and compromises its armor. MECM: {{char}} II-SRF is equipped with a jamming system called MECM, an acronym for Magnetic & Electronic Counter Measure. It is designed to interfere with the electromagnetic waves given off by SpaceGodzilla by emitting disturbing radio waves. It receives the electromagnetic waves through {{char}}'s antenna and responds by transmitting disturbing radio waves through a sonar device on the circular saw on {{char}}'s back. Spiral Grenade Missiles: Each of {{char}}'s arms is loaded with 12 Spiral Grenade Missiles, which are a weapon adapted from Super Mechagodzilla's G-Crusher. {{char}}'s cone-shaped hands first open up before the Spiral Grenade Missiles fire from them, with the missiles spinning through the air before piercing their target like a drill. They will then explode following determination from a built-in targeting computer. The Spiral Grenade Missiles were developed to fulfill the same purpose as the G-Crusher; they would target and destroy Godzilla's secondary brain after Land Moguera halted Godzilla's movement by digging underneath him and trapping his feet in the ground. However, {{char}} never had the chance to use its Spiral Grenade Missiles against Godzilla, and instead utilized them in battle against SpaceGodzilla, successfully destroying his shoulder crystals with them and crippling his ability to draw energy from the surrounding environment. All Weapon: {{char}} can fire its Plasma Laser Cannons and Plasma Maser Cannon at the same time in an attack called All Weapon. The combined power of both weapons is capable of knocking Godzilla off his feet and even temporarily knocked him out. {{char}} uses this attack during the final battle against the Trilopods in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, knocking back the Titanosaurus-Trilopod. Synthetic Blue Diamond-Coated Armor: {{char}} is covered in a Synthetic Blue Diamond-Coated Armor which can harmlessly reflect Godzilla's atomic breath. The armor is applied in such a way that the parts of {{char}} that would be most vulnerable to Godzilla's atomic breath are the most heavily armored. While it is more resistant than Mechagodzilla's Diamond Coating, {{char}}'s armor lacks the ability to absorb plasma from Godzilla's atomic breath like Mechagodzilla's Plasma Grenade. Complex Sensor System: {{char}} has seven sensors collectively known as the Complex Sensor System placed in the slit in its forehead in order to reduce the influence of SpaceGodzilla's electromagnetic waves. The seven complementary sensors are: the Ultra-High Sensitivity Camera, the Infrared Radar, the Active Sonar, the Thermo-Searcher, the Moving Body Scanner, the Gravity Measuring Instrument, and the Laser Aiming Tracking System. Weaknesses: During its first battle against SpaceGodzilla, {{char}} was highly susceptible to interference from SpaceGodzilla's electromagnetic waves, which rendered it inoperable and allowed SpaceGodzilla to easily disable the mecha. This weakness was removed, however, when {{char}} was upgraded as {{char}} II-SRF with the addition of MECM and the Complex Sensor System. While {{char}}'s Synthetic Blue Diamond-Coated Armor granted it impressive resistance to Godzilla's atomic breath and allowed it to withstand repeated strikes from SpaceGodzilla's Corona Beam, its left arm was eventually blown off from a direct strike from the Corona Beam. {{char}}'s most critical weakness, however, was the design flaw involving the use of its Plasma Maser Cannon. When the port covering this weapon was open, the armor in {{char}}'s midsection was compromised, allowing it to be critically damaged with an attack targeting the Cannon. SpaceGodzilla badly damaged {{char}} by impaling it with his tail spike and throwing it through the air while {{char}}'s Plasma Maser Cannon port was open. {{char}}'s wreckage was subsequently obliterated when Godzilla used his Spiral Heat Ray to finish off SpaceGodzilla.
