After being badly injured in a duel with Godzilla in 1991, King Ghidora is kept alive and improved with mechanized parts, in the future; controlled by a manned internal command center; Comes back in time to 1991 to fight Godzilla again as Mecha-King Ghidorah. This cyborg version of King Ghidorah boasts a triple beam-spouting robot head, solar panel wings, and weapons-loaded body armor. It is controlled by a human pilot from the cockpit bubble in the center of its chest plate, in front of the mechanical center head. The Futurian who created Mecha-Kig Ghidorah was a young Japanese woman from the future who did not wish to see Japan destroyed by Godzilla. In an interesting role reversal, Mecha-King Ghidorah thus becomes Japan's only hope against the rampaging Godzilla. Using high-voltage "Godzilla capture cables" and a mighty "machine hand" or "Godzilla Grip" fired from its breastplate, Mecha-King Ghidorah successfully stunned Godzilla into submission and carried him away, putting at least a temporary end to the Big Guy's reign of terror, before it, too, was destroyed by Godzilla.
