AdminSpaceGodzillaApr-15-2021 1:58 PMWith Godzilla vs. Kong introducing our first mecha to the Monsterverse franchise - it's natural for us to compare it to the mecha's / Jaegers of Legendary's other Kaiju franchise - Pacific Rim! The topic of Pacific Rim x Godzilla has been a topic of discussion since back in 2013 and 2014 and the comparisons continue today! For this topic, let's compare the stats and liklihood of a hypothetical fight between APEX's Mechagodzilla and PPDC's Gipsy Danger Jaeger! Who do you think would win? Sound off in the comments who you think and why.
Contender 1 - Mechagodzilla
- Weapons include fists, heat ray, tail, rocket punch.
- Nimble, agile frame, handled Godzilla (a massive Kaiju) with ease.
- Managed to hold its own against both Kong and Godzilla.
Contender 2 - Gipsy Danger
- Weapons include fists, rocket punch, sword, environment, Plasma Canon.
- Heavy, durable frame.
- Not reliant on A.I control.
Obviously from what we saw on film, Gipsy did struggle on its own with the larger category Kaiju. However, being controlled by 2 pilots instead of an A.I. might give Gipsy a leg up in terms of weaknesses but Mechagodzilla did seem to process information and anticipate enemy tactics more quickly because of its A.I. control system. When comparing the two mechs, at first one would assume Gipsy would fall prey to Mechagodzilla's speed and weapons, but Gipsy is more durable than Mechagodzilla, able to continue fighting even when limbs have been removed and systems failing all over. Gipsy's frame is also constructed to take a beating and has a much bulkier build.
Given that Kong's charged Axe managed to make short work of Mechagodzilla's frame, we can assume Gipsy's sword might have the same effect, which might switch the tide if these two ever fought. Not only that, Gipsy's Plasma Canon might also have a great effect on Mechagodzilla if Gipsy could land any shots. By that same token, Mechagodzilla's heat ray would likely have a similar effect on Gipsy.
Despite my love for Gipsy, I have to give my vote to Mechagodzilla, simply because of its ability to go toe-to-toe with BOTH Godzilla and Kong at once and due to its agility being a big factor. However, if Gipsy had help from Striker Eureka, I can see Mechagodzilla having a harder time.
