Becoming extinct 245 million years ago, the trilobite was brought back to life through a spiritual successor thanks to the efforts of Doctor Tokumitsu Yuhara. To achieve this, the doctor created a half-robotic, half-organic organism. The exoskeleton of the aquatic life form was robotic. For the interior, the muscle and nerve tissue of a horseshoe crab were used. Dubbed a Mecha-Trilobite, the mechanic arthropod was given the ability to think through a tiny DNA based computer system.
The creature was first shown off to a group of students in 1999. Tokumitsu had envisioned the robotic as his way of restoring life to a once extinct organism. Unknown to the doctor, his small creation would place him on the radar of the Japanese government. Seeking out the professor, they brought him to the Science & Technology division of the Defense Agency. There, they displayed the bones of the original Godzilla to the professor, relating a plan to create the machine MFS-3 Kiryu. To achieve this, they wanted to manufacture a robotic monster that would use the same DNA based system that the doctor had fashioned for the Mecha-Trilobite. |
