transforming Mechagodzilla appeared in Wataru Mimura's early drafts for the 1993 Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II. Capable of splitting apart into multiple vehicles and recombining, the mecha would have faced and defeated both Godzilla and White Rodan before ultimately being defeated by the revived Godzilla. This Mechagodzilla's design has become fairly popular among the fanbase, owing to its appearance on the advance poster for Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II drawn by Noriyoshi Ohrai, based on Shinji Nishikawa's design for the character. As such, it has even received an official figure.
