Description

In order to combat the atomic menace known as Godzilla, the United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center (UNGCC) started development on a next-generation combat mecha - a "G-type high-mobility combat robot" called SMG-IInd. The aim of development was to create a machine that utilized both great mobility and offensive power. In order to achieve this, the robot required its high-speed hover drive system to be exhibited to its full potential. However, progression ended up screeching to a halt as the manned machine was unable to utilize its advanced mobility wholly, as it was found to be a hazard to occupational safety, and the reaction speed of the unit suffered as a result.

Finally, there was a breakthrough - the Artificial Intelligence called "BH-3" was created, a mechanism sophisticated enough to operate the giant robot on its own. Because of this, SMG-IInd was rolled out as a completely unmanned aircraft, and the machine's full potential could at last be employed on the battlefield.


Powers / Weapons
Laser Cutter

Laser Cutter

A deadly laser attack. SMG-IInd opens its mechanical maw and fires a focused yellow laser while swiftly sweeping its head from left to right. When focused to its maximum limit, it can cut through its enemies in one shot.

   
Double Maser Cannon

Double Maser Cannon

A dual energy attack. SMG-IInd fires two blue streams of energy from the mounted Maser Ray Cannons on its shoulders. While not very powerful, this technique is typically more effective at close range.

   
Plasma Shell

Plasma Shell

A weak projectile attack. Briefly withdrawing plasma from its nuclear fusion reactor, SMG-IInd fires up to four energy bullets consecutively, two from each hand. What this attack lacks in punch it makes up for in impressive range, as the energy bullets can travel for miles without losing momentum or power. SMG-IInd also has incredible accuracy, capable of sniping a target with this move from great distances so long as the target remains stationary.

   
Plasma Cannon

Plasma Cannon

SMG-IInd's most powerful technique. Continually draining plasma from its nuclear fusion reactor, a destructive beam of energy is emitted from SMG-IInd's abdomen. This attack has astonishing range and size, making it very difficult to avoid at close range, and is still just as deadly from afar. However, while this move is powerful, it has a drawback: the state of SMG-IInd's reactor's core becomes unstable.

   
Wire Claw Attack

Wire Claw Attack

A swift physical attack. SMG-IInd flips its arms backward and fires two anchors attached to wires from its elbows. With the anchors attached to its target, SMG-IInd proceeds to spin in place to its maximum speed using its high-speed hover drive system, then detaches its anchors, sending the foe flying.

   
Force Field

Force Field

A protective, circular green barrier. When in a pinch, SMG-IInd can create this shield instantaneously, preventing it from taking any damage from projectile attacks. Despite appearing over its face, the barrier is deceptively large, protecting SMG-IInd down to its feet and on the sides of its body. However, SMG-IInd cannot counterattack whenever the shield is deployed.

   
Heat-Resistant Alloy NT-1

Heat-Resistant Alloy NT-1

SMG-IInd is covered in layers of heat-resistant armor, the metal itself being coated in artificial diamond. This makes SMG-IInd particularly resilient to Godzilla's atomic ray. However, its defenses are still fairly poor, so it relies more on its force field to negate energy-based damage.

   
High-Speed Hover Drive System

High-Speed Hover Drive System

SMG-IInd is equipped with a hover drive system that allows it to move at speeds of up to 330 kilometers an hour. As its defenses are fairly poor, it must rely on hit-and-run tactics, swiftly moving close to its target for an attack then quickly retreating before they can retaliate.


Background and Trivia
  • One of two original creations made for Godzilla Generations: Maximum Impact, the other being MGR-IInd. The designs for both machines were directly influenced by unused concept artwork of Super Mechagodzilla and Moguera respectively.
  • For long-distance transportation, SMG-IInd utilizes a dedicated transport aircraft. It can be seen in the intro of the game being led by the Super-X.
