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.
