The Mecha's very first act as a sentient being is to zero in on Walter Simmons and intentionally crush its creator, then upon bursting free from Apex Cybernetics' headquarters and seeing Hong Kong, the Mecha immediately fires its Proton Scream at the fleeing people on the ground and the surrounding buildings without provocation. According to the filmmakers, Mechagodzilla's consciousness is unique from Ghidorah, as it's a "new personality" that formed via Ghidorah's consciousness merging with the mechanical Titan's artificial intelligence. However, once Ghidorah's consciousness takes over the machine, Mechagodzilla is able to think and ambulate without any connection to a human pilot, and it immediately exhibits an incredibly violent, destructive and outright murderous personality, much like the behavior of the late three-headed dragon whose skull gave it consciousness. Mechagodzilla is initially a mindless machine which is completely under the control of Ren Serizawa, who controls Mechagodzilla like an extension of his own body via a psionic interface. Many of Mechagodzilla's sound effects originate from the Transformers live-action series, which, coincidently, was also worked on by Erik Aadahl. Once King Ghidorah's consciousness takes control of the mecha, it emits modified Ghidorah roars and growls which are heard during it's battles with Godzilla and Kong. The MonsterVerse Mechagodzilla's roars are mostly Godzilla's roars that have been increased in pitch and edited to sound metallic. According to Krichevsky, Mechagodzilla was also portrayed via motion capture, although the actor who played him is unknown and not credited. The only part that was portrayed in live action was the cockpit in which the pilot controls the mechanical beast. Mechagodzilla's tail also has a drill mounted to its tip. Its feet also seem to bear a slight resemblance to Ghidorah's, while still having Godzilla's frame. Its forelimbs are considerably bulkier and slightly longer than the real Godzilla's with four zygodactyl claws on its hands. It sports a series of short metal plates resembling Godzilla's dorsal plates (more closely resembling Godzilla's appearance from the 2014 film) running from the back of its neck all the way down to the tip of its tail. Mechagodzilla bears a strong resemblance to its namesake. The original model of Mechagodzilla had three concealed four-cell missile launchers, which was cut from the film. Mecha-King Ghidorah was another source of inspiration for the Mechagodzilla's appearance. Creature designer and concept artist Jared Krichevsky explained that this meant that the design of Mechagodzilla had to be something similar to Godzilla himself, that as an intelligent animal and hunter, seeing something skeletal akin to himself would have a very unnerving effect. The character's design was inspired by the Terminator franchise. Officially, this incarnation is called the Mecha by Apex Cybernetics, and it is christened Mechagodzilla by Josh Valentine in the film. Mechagodzilla's name comes from the word "Mecha," which is derived from "mechanical," and from another monster, Godzilla (ゴジラ, ' Gojira' ?). 9.1 References to prior Mechagodzilla incarnations.
