True American Godzilla
MemberMothra LarvaeApr-18-2014 7:33 AMWith seeing all of the 2014 American Godzilla merchandise that's coming soon, what I haven't seen is a Godzilla Chess game. So I thought "Why not let each of us put our thoughts on the chess, and decide what the pieces would look like?"
Let me start to not only show the layout but also my thoughts as well...
**EDIT: Based on the review by NIGHTARIES3030, I've slightly updated my version of the Godzilla Chess. Also, for the Black Side, I needed the different Knight/Rook/etc to be able to have the 1st/10th/etc anniversary Godzilla designs.**
--Black Side-- {Note: All pieces regardless of color will stand on a base with writing on it saying what type it is King/Queen/Rook/Knight/Bishop/Pawn}
Theme: Godzilla's 60th Anniversary (inspired by this artwork by Matt Frank http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/107/5/b/60_years_of_mayhem___line_art_by_kaijusamurai-d7esld4.jpg )
King: 1954 Gojira [The one that started it all. Naturally it should be the most important piece!]
Queen: 2014 Godzilla [The Queen chess piece is the most powerful of all. Fitting for this new Godzilla.]
Left Side Rook: 1964 Gojira [The 10th, Mothra vs Gojira, anniversary version of Gojira.]
Right Side Rook: 1974 Gojira [The 20th, Gojira vs MechaGojira, anniversary version of Gojira.]
Left Side Knight: 1984 Gojira [The 30th, Return of Gojira, anniversary version of Gojira.]
Right Side Knight: 1994 Gojira [The 40th, Gojira vs Space Gojira, anniversary version of Gojira.]
Bishop: 2004 Gojira [The 50th, Final Wars, anniversary version of Gojira.]
Pawn: Nuclear Explosion [Nuclear radiation is the origin of Gojira/American Godzilla.]
--White Side--
Theme: Godzilla's/Gojira's villians (sorted by the villian of their anniversary Godzilla counterpart).
King: Dr Serizawa with Oxygen Destroyer {As much as Anguirus was the 1st Gojira villian, in the 1954 film it was Serizawa who went against the 1954 Gojira.}
Queen: Winged Muto {Of the 2 different Mutos, I hear the winged version is the more dangerous of the two, so it's the best villian choice for the 2014 Godzilla.}
Lide Side Rook: Mothra {Can't decide between Adult form or Larva though.}
Right Side Rook: Mecha-Gojira {1st version of a line of these machines.}
Left Side Knight: Super X {Gojira's foe in "Return of Gojira" 1984.}
Right Side Knight: Space Gojira
Bishop: Keizer Ghidorah
Pawn: 1998 Zilla {After the short Zilla vs Gojira battle in Final Wars, and wanting a longer fight, decided to have Zilla as the pawn... and we will see lots of Zilla vs Gojira/Godzilla fights}
I believe in Jesus Christ, who's my Lord and Savior.
John 3:16, Job 41:1-34, Leviticus 18:22

Maybe for villians there could be an entirelly different list.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-18-2014 8:11 AMI would use different monsters for the pieces. Godzilla = king, Destoyah = Queen, Anguirus = Pawn, SpaceGodzilla = Rook, MechaG= bishop, King Ghidorah = knight.

MemberMothra LarvaeApr-18-2014 3:01 PMAlright, in my Chess game, the white side is made up of "Earth Defender" Kaiju, and the black side pieces are the forces of invading aliens.
White Side
King: Godzilla (Godzilla is the King of the Monsters, and his lumbering pace makes him a perfect match for the King piece, which only moves one space at a time.)
Queen: Mothra (She is probably the fastest Earth Defender, and the Queen is the most mobile piece. She is also the only explicitly female Kaiju other than Biollante.)
Bishop: Rodan
Knight: Anguirus
Rook: Gotengo
Pawn: Zilla (Obviously, they are the weakest of the kaiju, and it makes sense for there to be a lot of them because of the way they produce so many offspring at once.)
Black Side
King: Mothership (It would make sense for this to be the leader of an alien invasion, and motherships tend to be huge and slow.)
Queen: King Ghidorah (He is the most powerful and fastest of the "Alien" Kaiju in this game.)
Bishop: Gigan
Knight: Mechagodzilla
Rook: Megalon
Pawn: Flying Saucer
