The ultimate in technological beam weaponry
for the time, the ASTOL-MB93 was created in the
early 1990's. The logical aerial progression of
the ground-based beam weaponry such as the MBAW-93
and MBT-92, the ASTOL-MB93 was an elite fighter
in the arsenal of the Japanese Self-Defense Force.
Equipped with two powerful beam cannons, each
capable of projecting a searing ray of plasma
energy, these craft seemed to be the perfect choice
to deal with even the most invulnerable foes...
In 1993, Godzilla was pronounced dead, having
plummeted into the boiling lava flows of the sub-marine
environment between Indonesia and Japan. The beast
endured the terrible heat, however, and merely
swam through the magma flows between the Earth's
crust and mantle. It soon emerged at the pinnacle
of Mt. Fuji, shocking the world! Godzilla began
to descend the famed mountain on a path to Yokohama,
and in response, a squadron of ASTOL-MB93s were
dispatched. Screaming through the night sky in
the Japanese countryside, their beams pounded
into Godzilla's flesh. The bellowing behemoth
gazed at his agile enemies, carefully calculating
his retribution. Finally, Godzilla's high-pitched
thermonuclear ray scorched through the sky and
illuminated the night with a dazzling display
of firepower. After a short battle, the ASTOL-MB93s
were annihilated, proving them to be, quite simply,
a waste of resources. Godzilla continued his trek
toward Yokohama, seething with a desire for revenge
against two organic enemies who would prove to
be a much greater challenge than the mechanical
wreckage he left in his wake...
