<h3> A representative super mecha!　Maser Killing Beast Ray Vehicle</h3>
<p> The &#8220;Type 66 Maser Killing Ray Vehicle&#8221; is a super mecha of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force that first appeared in &#8220;Frankenstein&#8217;s Kaiju: Thunder vs.</p>
<p> This super mecha fired maser rays against the ferocious monster Gaila, which was born from Frankenstein&#8217;s cells growing in the sea, and successfully hunted it down. The scene in which the maser rays hit Guyra, with its heroic music and the trees being knocked down one after another by the rays, was truly the quintessential Super-Mecha scene.</p>
<p> The maser-killer ray car, which left a strong impression, appeared frequently in Godzilla films such as &#8220;Godzilla vs. Gigan&#8221; (1972), showing off its magnificent appearance.</p>

<h3> Flying Capital Defense Mobile Fortress!　Super X</h3>
<figure id="attachment_457762" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-457762" style="width: 1654px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="#" data-ident_hash="e5fe71f4"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/fridaydigital/image/private/t_article_image/wpmedia/2026/02/f8eb0a26718f9dd1253c35b714488ba5.jpg" alt=""></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-457762" class="wp-caption-text"> Various super mecha aim at Godzilla!　TM &amp; Ⓒ TOHO CO.,LTD.</figcaption></figure>
<p> T-1, a mobile weapon of the Ground Self-Defense Force, which confronted Godzilla in &#8220;Godzilla&#8221; (1984) after 30 years of absence, was a key component of the capital defense that was secretly developed and was able to withstand Godzilla&#8217;s fire three times.</p>
<p> In addition to laser cannons, rockets, and missiles, it also carried cadmium bombs, which stopped Godzilla&#8217;s activity, making it a super mecha that demonstrated the bottom line of the Self-Defense Forces, which had not been able to mount an effective attack against Godzilla.</p>
<p> In &#8220;Godzilla vs. Biollante&#8221; (1989), its successor, Super X2, used a fire mirror made of artificial diamond to repel Godzilla&#8217;s heat rays, and in &#8220;Godzilla vs. Destroya&#8221; (1995), Super X III used an ultra-low-temperature laser gun to ice Godzilla and put an end to Destroya. In &#8220;Godzilla vs.</p>
<h3> The guardian god of humankind, with the skeleton of Godzilla! Type 3 Kairyu</h3>
<p> The Type 3 Koryu, or Mechagodzilla, which made its first appearance in &#8220;Godzilla x Mechagodzilla&#8221; (2002), is an anti-G special weapon of the Self-Defense Forces against special creatures, using Godzilla&#8217;s skeleton salvaged from the ocean floor as its main frame.</p>
<p> There are two types: a heavily armed type equipped with missiles and other back units, and a highly maneuverable type that specializes in close combat by removing these units. The strongest weapon is the &#8220;Type 3 Absolute Zero Cannon&#8221; on its chest, which has succeeded in freezing Godzilla.</p>
<p> The Type 3 Koryu also appears in the subsequent &#8220;Godzilla x Mothra x Mechagodzilla: Tokyo SOS&#8221; as the Type 3 Koryu Kai, equipped with a triple hyper maser cannon in place of the heavily damaged Absolute Zero.</p>
<p> However, the Type 3 Kai awakened to its own consciousness and sank into the Japan Trench with Gojira still in its arms.</p>
