Yeah there aren't many "ankylosaur" traits in his overall design, except for his tail and back armor which is more porcupine than Ankylosaur lol. I could see him with more Mammalian Reptile traits similar to the bear/eagle/komodo Legendary Godzilla. Maybe Komodo/Porcupine/Tiger? Mixing it up a bit I could totally see it.
I'm gonna lean more to him being a weird armored land crocodile like Armadillosuchus.

They'd have to change the name.

Tokyo, a smoldering memorial to the unknown, an unknown which at this very moment still prevails and could at any time lash out with its terrible destruction anywhere else in the world.

I absolutely despise redesigns that make a character like Zone Fighter or Jet Jaguar turn into some edgy Evangelion OC. I'm seeing these more and more now, and I cannot stand it.

The Gridman anime does an excellent job of taking a good toku design and making it a garbage Eva ripoff.

Yeah, I absolutely hate the designs of the Gridman anime. Though the anime in general was kinda trash...

Jet Jaguar could totally work as a modern Pac Rim Mech. Not so much edgy Evangelion though.

Another strange confession. In a film I'd like to see a scene of Godzilla in the process of hunting/eating a lesser monster.

Check out G14 and vs. Hedorah then (although Hedorah’s not a “lesser enemy”)

Yeah, Godzilla wins... sometimes. I mean, he was killed by Dr. Serizawa's patented bubble-bath formula, heartburn, missiles, and poor box office returns, got his ass kicked by a drunken, circus-escaped gorilla, then he was beaten by two newborn worms, yeah some “king”.

Toho has toyed around with the idea in a few scripts but it never makes it onto film. Lot's of expanded material though show Godzilla eating whales and even trees

Interesting. If I remember correctly... He did attempt to eat a whale in one of the IDW comics. But yeah, seeing Godzilla actively take down a monster like Ganimes, or Kamoebas again and feed on them afterwards would be pretty cool to see. I mean if Kong did it why not Godzilla?

I'm so adopting Anguirus being an evolved armadillosuchus as a headcanon.

But...don't they literally identify his species in Raids?

Dammit!

That's a fair point. :lol:

Maybe if Anguirus gets into the MonsterVerse they could make him that incarnation an armadillosuchus TITAN or at least let people speculate what he is.
