Should G.Z. fight kaiju without arms or less than 4 legs in Edwards sequels?

I see some people saying that Godzilla will fight monsters like Mothra and Rodan in upcoming movies.  Do you guys think the creators of the new movies are likely to have this happen or it is a good idea for the style of the new movies?

It seems having Godzilla fighting monsters that don't have any arms or legs that can be used like arms could make what can be done in fights fairly limited.  With Mothra it seems they have had her fire 'laser'-like beams in past movies while fighting, but this seems like it might be at odds with the style of the Edwards movie.  

I think if a movie was made where Godzilla only fought Mothra or another monster or monsters that also lack arms or legs that can be used like arms and fight by firing things similar to laser beams this will probably make the movie too farfetched if the movie has a style similar to the first Edwards movie.  I think it also would be extremely hard to somehow make the movie have enough variety in the fighting to be at least okay in entertaining most viewers.

I guess Rodan can sort of be given arms that are a part of their wings that would work well enough while fighting by making Rodan look similar to some kind of large dinosaur while staying with the style I mentioned, but I'm not sure how Mothra could have something like that without making a monster that is too farfetched for something like the first movie's style.

 

 
I also think it might be hard to have King Ghidorah not be too farfetched in a sequel with a style similar to the first movie.  Ghidorah could also suffer from the potential problem I mentioned about not having arms or legs that could be used like arms and the problem of firing things like laserbeams too much.  

Also, I'm not sure how you could have him be three-headed either without being too farfetched.  Possibly you could have two of his heads not be real heads, but rather limbs that can grasp like pincers or two fingered hands.  It might be two weird for him to fire things like laserbeams from there, however.  These two limbs could have coloring that makes them look similar to his real head with the explanation being that they are something that evolved to protect Ghidorah or Ghidorah's evolutionary ancestor's actual head by misleading predators to what is actually it's head.  This could be similar to how some animals have things called eyespots (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyespot_%28mimicry%29).

Additionally, I'm also not sure what sort of animal Ghidorah would be like in a sequel of similar style.  Would it be explicitly said in the movie or have it be possible for the audience to believe based on information in the movie that Ghidorah developed from/is similar to a lizard, a dinosaur, an insect, some sort of hybrid of a lizard/dinosaur and an insect?

Another things to consider with Ghidorah is that it might not be a good idea in terms of entertaining audiences to introduce a monster so similar to Godzilla as Ghidorah so early on in a series of movies.  Audiences might find the idea boring because many might think that the monsters are too similar to each other and possibly too similar to two humans of similar size fighting each other.



So what do you guys think about what I've written?  It's fine if you respond to only part of what I've said above.

It's not that fans are saying it, CEO of Legendary Pictures announced that Rodan, Mothra and King Ghidorah would be joining the Legendary/WB Godzilla universe at Comic Con 2014.

And with King Kong in the blueprints, it seems clear they intend on further suspending belief with monsters like King Ghidorah which I think needs a fairly ambiguous origin with hints of extraterrestrial roots, much like the original. It can work if done delicately.
