Originally deleted on Wikipedia, here is all of the lost info for the monsters and mecha throughout the franchise. Some is likely duplication of what is already on this Wikia, but I will leave no stone unturned.
The many different Mecha, Mechanical Beasts, Ghost Mechanical Beasts, Warrior Beasts, Saucer Monsters, Vega Monthers, and others from the Mazinger franchise.
Mazinger Z[]
Mazinger Z (マジンガーZ Majingā Zetto) is a fictional mecha from the anime and manga series of the same name, created by Go Nagai. Within the story, Mazinger Z was created by Professor Juzou Kabuto and piloted by his grandson Kouji Kabuto. Mazinger Z is often credited as the first piloted robot, making it the ancestor of the wildly popular mecha genre.
===History===
Professor Juzou Kabuto was a brilliant scientist in his own right; during a mining expedition on Mount Fuji, he discovered a new element which he dubbed Japanium. Later, while researching Mediterranean legends of metal giants, one of his colleagues went mad with power and decided to use the ancient Mechanical Beasts to dominate the world. Kabuto only barely survived the newly-renamed Doctor Hell's assassination attempt and hurried back to Japan. There, he devised a defense against the Mechanical Monsters: a giant battle robot that would combine a super-strong alloy of Japanium (dubbed Chogokin Z, or Super Alloy Z) with the Photonic Energy that his friend Professor Yumi had discovered. Since this machine would have power rivaling even a god or devil, Kabuto named it Mazinger Z (from the Japanese words "Ma" (魔), demon, and "Jin" (神), god). Unfortunately, shortly after Mazinger Z's completion, Kabuto was found and murdered by Doctor Hell's hit squad. However, he managed to get word to his grandson Kouji Kabuto, who learned of his grandfather's death and of Mazinger Z. Learning to pilot the giant machine, Kouji swore to defend the Earth in his grandfather's place. Though Mazinger Z would serve Kouji to battle the Mechanical Monsters, he found himself outclassed by the stronger battle beasts unleashed by the Mycene Empire, and Mazinger Z was badly damaged until it was rescued by the Great Mazinger and its pilot, Tetsuya Tsurugi.
Later, the Mycene Empire revived Doctor Hell and they began a last-ditch assault while the Great Mazinger and Tetsuya were recovering from their final fight with Ankoku Daishogun. Both Kouji and the Mazinger Z returned, stronger than before, to save the Photon Power Plant, but failed to save the Science Fortress. Together with the returned Great Mazinger, Boss Borot, Diana A, and Venus A, the Mycene were destroyed. Mazinger Z was last seen locked away in the Robot Museum with a Great Mazinger as the Great Mazinger was being taken away to be used against Grendizer.
In the anime Shin Mazinger Impact! Z Chapter, Mazinger is not only created as a response to Dr. Hell's mechanical beasts, but is actually based on Zeus, the great god who had sealed the beasts away in Bardos Island. After escaping from Dr. Hell, Juuzo Kabuto apparently spent ten years hiding in his mansion with his grandsons Kouji and Shiro, the former of whom got acquainted with the legends of Zeus by reading books in his grandfather's room. When Baron Ashura begins his attack on the Photon Power Labs and the Kabuto manor, Juuzo sends the Pilder to rescue Kouji and then instructs him on how to dock with Mazinger Z. In this series, Mazinger's resemblance to Zeus is such that Baron Ashura goes into a rage and attacks the robot bare handed, knocking it down before he is reminded by Dr. Hell of his mission to destroy the Photon Power Labs.

===Weapons and Attacks===
*Koushiryoku Beam
Mazinger Z can channel pure Photonic Energy through its eyes, unleashing a pair of powerful lasers, which are said to be equal to 10 tons of explosives. This was originally considered Mazinger Z's weakest attack, however, in Shin Mazinger Z the power of this attack is greatly magnified to the point where it can now be considered the strongest.
*Missile Punch
Mazinger Z mounts a missile launch bay in its belly, which can store several missiles.
*Rocket Punch
Mazinger Z's signature attack; it fires off its forearm like a missile, punching straight through an enemy before returning and docking with the elbow again.
*Rust Hurricane
The powerful turbines in Mazinger Z's head create gale-force winds, launching them through the mouth grill. The attack includes highly corrosive particles (thought to be ionized hydrogen), almost instantaneously causing an enemy to rust over and fall apart. This is the only weapon in Mazinger Z's arsenal which can damage Super-alloy Z, for example when an enemy (Rhine X1) reversed it against Mazinger with a blow of her giant fan. As requested by her pilot Sayaka Yumi, it has been also used as a funeral ceremony to completely destroy Aphrodite A, which had been reduced to pieces after having shielded Mazinger from a deadly attack.
*Breast Fire
The large red fins on Mazinger Z's chest act as heat sinks for its Photonic Energy reactor. Mazinger Z can fire off this stored thermal energy as a powerful, 30,000 degree white-hot beam that melts almost anything. In the Super Robot Wars series, Kouji and Tetsuya Tsurugi can use the Breast Fire and Breast Burn respectively in the Double Burning Fire attack.
*Kyoukagata Rocket Punch
Mazinger Z's Rocket Punch was later reinforced with stronger armor, giving it a more powerful punch. This attack first appears in episode 54.
*Iron Cutter
An improved Rocket Punch in which each forearm sprouts a pair of axe-like blades, allowing it to cut and slash as well as bludgeon. This weapon first premiers in episode 59.
*Drill Missile
A barrage of small, needle-like missiles fired from ports in Mazinger's upper arms. This attack was typically performed after the Rocket Punch but before the forearm had returned. This weapon first premiered in episode 60.
*Daisharin Rocket Punch
Mazinger Z spins its arms rapidly, building up momentum before firing off both fists in standard Rocket Punch fashion. This weapon first premiered in episode 72.
*Reitou Beam
Mazinger unleashes a blast of intense cold; this attack was alternately fired from the mouth grill or the spikes on the sides of Mazinger's head. It first premiered in episode 71.
*Finger Missile
A rarely-used attack where Mazinger fires the last joint of its fingers as miniature missiles. First used in episode 6.
====Jet Scrander and Jet Scrander Weapons====
* Jet Scrander
First appearing in episode 34, the Jet Scrander, Mazinger Z is given the ability to fly, giving it a defense against aerial enemies. When needed, it is launched from a catapult in the Photonic Research Lab and flies to Mazinger's location. In some cases Mazinger Z will run and jump into the air to meet it, in other cases it will slow and approach a stationary Mazinger Z. The docking is accompanied by the command "Scrander Cross!"
** Wingspan

*Jet Scrander's Weapons
** Scrander Cutter
The wings of the Jet Scrander are strong and sharp enough to be used as blades.
** Southern Cross Knife
Contained Within the Jet Scrander's wings are shuriken which can be fired as missiles. This weapon first premiered in episode 73.
====Hover Pileder====
* Hover Pileder
The control center of Mazinger Z, the Hover Pileder is a small, lightly armed flying hovercraft with outboard VTOL fans at the ends of its wings, that folds and lands inside the head of Mazinger Z (unfortunately, when Sayaka tried to control Mazinger Z in Episode 52, her unfamiliarity with the controls led to the wings being clipped). When it makes a link with the giant robot, its pilot yells, "Pileder On!" When the Hover Pileder is destroyed, it is replaced by the Jet Pileder, which had more normal wings and a single VTOL fan in the center of its underside, which allows it to dock with the Mazinger Z while the latter is on its back (Kouji would use this to his advantage in the finale of Great Mazinger, after two failed attempts to dock normally due to Warrior Beast interference).

* Pileder Weapons and Equipment
** Pileder Beam
Both the Hover Pileder and the Jet Pileder were equipped with a laser beam weapon.
** Pileder Missile
The Hover and Jet Pileder could fire a pair of side recessed missiles.
** Emergency raft
The Hover Pileder had a hatch in the center of its underside that could drop a self-inflating life raft. The Jet Pileder's VTOL engine was in this position, and there was never indication that the Jet Pileder carried a raft in some other way.
====God Scrander====
*God Scrander
Seen in the first episode of Shin Mazinger, the God Scrander like all "Scranders" attaches to the back of Mazinger giving it the power of flight. In addition to this, it also has three giant fingers that, together with Mazinger Z's arms, form a fist when closed which forms the basis of the Big Bang Punch. After docking, the command "Open Wing!" makes the God Scrander open its wings and unfurl its fingers.
*God Scrander Weapons
**Big Bang Punch
Big Bang Punch is literally the fist of Zeus. It is a glowing gold fist formed by God Scrander's fingers curling around Mazinger Z which is then rammed into opponent. The true strength of this attack has yet to be revealed, although in the first episode, it is shown as strong enough to seriously cripple the Gool and even threatened the giant sized Great General of Darkness.
==Great Mazinger==
Great Mazinger (グレートマジンガー Gurēto Majingā) is a fictional mecha from the anime and manga series of the same name, created by Go Nagai. The pilot of this mecha, unlike Mazinger Z was Tetsuya Tsurugi and not Koji Kabuto. It was introduced as a new and improved version of the original Mazinger Z.
===Origin Story===
Kenzo Kabuto is the creator of the new, improved version of Mazinger, made by refining his father's Chogokin Z (Super Alloy Z) into a new, stronger form, designed to fight against humanity's new enemy, the Mikene (or Mycenae) Empire, led by the Great General of Darkness and his army of Warrior Beasts. Kenzo gives the Great Mazinger to Tetsuya to pilot, who is accompanied by a new girl, Jun Hono (an orphaned half Japanese, half black girl), in her female robot Venus A. Both Great Mazinger's and Tetsuya's training are completed just in time to come to Kouji's aid as the Mycene Battle Beasts overwhelm Mazinger Z. With the original Mazinger destroyed, Kouji went to America to study space travel and left Japan's defense in the hands of Tetsuya and the Fortress of Science!

===Weapons and Attacks===
*Navel Missile
Just like Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger mounts a missile launcher in its stomach.
*Atomic Punch
Great Mazinger also possesses a Rocket Punch-like attack, though its fists spin while in flight, giving them extra force.
*Drill Pressure Punch
It is like the Atomic Punch, except that the forearms sprout drill-like blades that add to the damage as well as the speed of rotation.
*Great Boomerang
Great Mazinger can take the heat sink fin off of its chest and throw it as a giant boomerang.
*Scramble Cutter
Just like Mazinger Z's Scrander Cutter, Great Mazinger slashes the enemy with the Scrander's wings while flying at high speeds.
*Great Typhoon
Just like Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger uses turbines to generate powerful wind attacks. However, Great Mazinger's attack is simply a wind-based attack, lacking the corrosive properties of Mazinger's attack.
*Knee Impulse Kick
Great Mazinger can sprout a spike from its knee, making its kick attacks more lethal.
*Backspin Kick
Great Mazinger can also sprout a curved blade on the front of its leg for stronger kicks.
*Mazinger Blade
The flanged compartments on Great Mazinger's legs hold a pair of swords. Tetsuya typically uses the Blades for melee combat, but on several occasions he threw them at the enemy.
*Breast Burn
Like Mazinger Z, the fin on Great Mazinger's chest doubles as a heat sink and a weapon, unleashing incredible thermal energy.
*Thunder Break
Great Mazinger can release energy into the atmosphere, stimulating the process that creates natural lightning. Great Mazinger then calls the lightning down onto the antennae on its head and redirects the energy towards an enemy. In the Super Robot Wars series, Tetsuya can perform this alongside the Grendizer's Space Thunder or another Great Mazinger unit's Thunder Break to perform the Double Lightning Buster.
*Thunder Blade
A one-time attack where Tetsuya channeled the lightning from the Thunder Break through one of his Mazinger Blades.
*Double Thunder Break
Similar to Thunder Break but Great Mazinger uses both hands to redirect the lightning.
*Breast Burn Special
Basically a powered-up Breast Burn, almost akin to the Kaiser Nova of Mazinkaiser but with detrimental effects to Great Mazinger. Used in the manga to destroy Gilgilgan from within.
*Double Burning Fire
In certain Super Robot Wars games, Tetsuya and Kouji can use their chest beam attacks to cause an even more powerful, faster burn for their opponents.
====Brain Condor====
*Like Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger is operated by a separate vehicle that docks with the Mazinger's head. It emerges from an underwater launch bay connected to the Fortress of Science and docks with Great, which rises from a whirlpool in the nearby waters.

====Great Booster====
*A supplemental craft, the Great Booster functions much as the Jet Scrander did for Mazinger Z (Great already had some flight capability "out of the box", thanks to its collapsable Scramble Dash). Though rarely used, the Great Booster was incredibly powerful and was instrumental in Tetsuya's defeat of the Mycene.

====OVA Version====
In the 2002 OVA Mazinkaiser: Tetsuya again fights alongside Kouji against Doctor Hell's forces. The OVA version of Great Mazinger is physically identical to the original, but with black coloring on the arms and legs instead of blue. Great is seriously damaged during the initial battle in the series, and later, when the captured Mazinger Z attacks the Photon Power Labs, Tetsuya does his best to defend the lab against Mazinger Z and later the rampaging Mazinkaiser, leaving him badly injured and Great Mazinger a complete wreck. Afterwards, he leaves together with Jun for treatment for his injuries.
Near the end of the OVA, Tetsuya returns with a new, much more powerful Great, discovered in Doctor Juzo Kabuto's laboratory; this is said to be the real Great Mazinger (or "Shin Great Mazinger"). The "true" Great is structurally the same as the earlier version, but the color scheme for the forearms and legs is blue, as in the original 70's version. It is explained that the Great Mazinger made by Doctor Kenzo Kabuto (Kouji's father) is the prototype version, seen in the early episodes, whereas Doctor Juzo Kabuto (Kouji's grandfather), secretly working in an underground laboratory, managed to finish the final version of Great Mazinger. It has tremendous power compared to the prototype version, and its armor is almost identical to the new Z Alpha armor used by Mazinkaiser.
The concept of Shin Great Mazinger is to bring Great to the ranks of modern and more powerful robots such as Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter Robo.
==Grendizer==
Grendizer is the title mecha in the 1975 series UFO Robo Grendizer (UFOロボ·グレンダイザー UFO Robo Gurendaizā). Grendizer is named after the fictional metal "Space Alloy Gren", a metal with similar properties to Super Alloy Z and its derivatives, the hardest material available on Fleed and subsequently the main component of its armor. Despite its outer space origins, it still looks similar to the Mazinger series of robots. Unlike Mazinger Z and Mazinkaiser, Grendizer was not piloted by Koji Kabuto, it was instead piloted by Duke Fleed.
===Origin Story===
Grendizer was created by the planet Fleed to represent the embodiment of the Fleedian God of War. King Vega wanted to use the robot to conquer the universe and attacked Planet Fleed in hopes of obtaining it. Duke Fleed, Prince of Fleed, stole the mecha back and fled Fleed, taking it to Earth. Grendizer would be revived when the Vegans attacked Earth, and used in combination with the Earth produced Spazer support units to fight back against the invading forces.

===Weapons and Attacks===
*Hand Beam: Grendizer fires a trio of energy beams from the back of its hands. This is one of Grendizer's weaker attacks.
*Backhand Missile: Grendizer can also fire missiles from the back of its hand, from the same opening as the Hand Beam.
*Screw Crusher Punch: A standard Mazinger Rocket Punch attack, Grendizer fires its forearms as the blades mounted on the wrists flip forward, essentially making the attack a flying drill. The Screw Crusher Punch flies at speeds up to Mach 5 and can achieve 4000 RPM. There are also two more variations on this attack, the Screw Punch in which the blades fold at a 90' degree angle or fan shaped look, plus the Crusher Punch in which the blades fold over the fist in a bullet shape. Grendizer also has a normal Dizer Punch which is similar to the Atomic Punch of Great Mazinger and the Rocket Punch of Mazinger Z.
*Double Harken: A weapon mounted in the shoulders, each Harken consists of a crescent moon blade attached to a handle. Grendizer can use one or both harkens in each hand, which is called Single Harken, or combine them to form a bladed staff, the Double Harken. The Double Harken can also be thrown at enemies.
*Shoulder Boomerang: Grendizer launches the Harken blades from its shoulders or Grendizer grabs and throws them like regular boomerangs.
*Hanjuuryoku Storm (Anti-Gravity Storm aka Rainbow Beam): A ray of rainbow energy which is fired from the red crest on Grendizers chest. In the early episodes it was similar to Mazinger Z's Breast Fire attack, but in later episodes it can be used as an anti-gravity ray.
*Space Thunder: Much like Great Mazinger's Thunder Break, Grendizer can release a burst of electric energy from the horns on its head. Grendizer can unleash up to 60,000 Degree for up to 10 hours continuously.
*Dizer Beam: Regular eye lasers that Grendizer uses when it is unable to use the Hand Beam attack such as when Grendizer is combined with the Drill Spazer.
*Dizer Power: Grendizer runs at over 100% efficiency for short periods of time. Similar to Mazin Power that is utilised by the Mazinger series.
*Dizer Tera Max: Various panels open up around Grendizer's body causing the robot to generate more power than normal. Used once in a manga to activate an enhanced Space Thunder.
====Spazer====
*The original support craft for Grendizer, the Spazer is a saucer-shaped craft that allows Grendizer to fly and travel through space. Duke stole the unit along with Grendizer before he fled to Earth.

***Anti-Radar Mist: The Spazer can emit a purple fog which scrambles radar.
TFO[]
- The TFO is a small support craft built by Kouji Kabuto after researching aliens. It was used initially as a method of communicating with the invading Vega forces. After the initial episode it was equipped with missiles in order to fight with the weaker units of the invaders. It was later destroyed and Kouji swtiched to the Double Spazer.
**Weapons:
***Missiles: The TFO's only weapon, where it launches missiles from missile tubes at the front of the craft.
==== Double Spazer ====
*A new support craft built as a support unit for Grendizer, the Double Spazer can act either as a capable fighter, or can combine with Grendizer to enable it to fly. It features a Photonic Energy reactor and VTOL fans and is piloted by Kouji Kabuto, the former pilot of Mazinger Z.

**Weapons:
***Double Missile
***Space Beam
***Spark Bomber
==Mazinkaiser==
Mazinkaiser (マジンカイザー Majinkaizā) is a fictional robot from the anime and manga series of the same name, based on Go Nagai's Mazinger Z and featured in the 2001-2003 OVA series, Mazinkaiser and animated movie, Mazinkaiser: Deathmatch! Ankoku Daishogun. Its design seems to be inspired by Mazinger (USA). Unlike other Mazingers, Mazinkaiser was not thought up by Go Nagai. Instead, Banpresto designed it as an upgrade for Koji Kabuto in the final levels of Super Robot Wars F Final. Go Nagai then made an OVA and manga based off it because of its success.
===Origin Story===
Due to the unique history behind this mecha, it has three origins:
- Super Robot Wars F Final
**Mazinkaiser is Mazinger Z, but evolved from Getter Rays.
- Super Robot Wars Alpha
**In the Alpha timeline, Mazinkaiser is the original Mazinger that came before Mazinger Z and Great Mazinger. However, Jūzō Kabuto thought it was far too powerful and dangerous to be put into use, and locked it inside a hangar. Although it was safely contained in this area, the captive machine roared and raged like a caged beast. Mazinkaiser was finally activated by Kouji in a crisis; while Mazinger Z was being overhauled, the Mycene forces attacked the Photon Research Institute with multiple Mass-Produced Great Mazingers.
**This version of Mazinkaiser has three modes, which are signified on its chest jewel. It has "Demon(魔) Mode", in which the Kaiser Pileder is not installed and Mazinkaiser moves by its own will, "Z Mode", the normal mode that Kouji uses, and "God(神) Mode". The power of Mazinkaiser in God Mode is currently unknown, but it is speculated to be on par with a full-powered Shin Getter Robo
- OVA
**Mazinkaiser is the final, ultimate creation of Professor Jūzō Kabuto, the genius who created Mazinger Z and designed Great Mazinger. Kouji discovered Mazinkaiser completely by accident; when his Mazinger Z was destroyed in battle, the Hover Pileder activated an automatic protocol and flew into a hangar hidden behind a waterfall. There, Kouji saw a holographic message from his grandfather, telling him about Mazinkaiser and leading him to it.

Note: Since Mazinkaiser varies from appearance to appearance, each weapon/attack will be labelled by its appearance in the video games, anime and manga.
Koushiryoku Beam
- Like Mazinger Z before it, Mazinkaiser can unleash pure Photonic Energy from its eyes. However, Mazinkaiser's version is much more powerful. (All versions)
Rust Tornado
* An improved version of Mazinger Z's Rust Hurricane, Mazinkaiser fires a trio of high-power tornadoes from its mouth grill, releasing corrosive particles along with the powerful winds. (All versions)
Giganto Missile / Gigas Missile
* Mazinkaiser launches a powerful missile from its torso area. (All versions)
Turbo Smasher Punch
* Mazinkaiser's version of the eponymous Rocket Punch. It functions much like Great Mazinger's Drill Pressure Punch, but with more force behind it. (All versions)
Fire Blaster
* As is standard with the Mazingers, Mazinkaiser's chest fin is a heat sink for the Photonic Energy reactor and can release this thermal energy as a devastating ranged attack. The Fire Blaster is the most powerful attack of this type, being shown able to completely melt even enemies missed by many yards. According to the manga, it is powerful enough to burn through Earth's core (All versions)
Kaiser Blade / Shoulder Slicer
* A pair of swords emerge from Mazinkaiser's shoulders; their design is similar to Great Mazinger's Mazinger Blade. Note that the animated Mazinkaiser only gets this attack in the movie. (Anime and game)
Kaiser Sword / Kaiser Blade / Final Kaiser Blade
* A large sword emerges from Mazinkaiser's chest fin. This weapon is part of Mazinkaiser's true power, unleashed when Kouji fought Baron Ashura's new body, Hell King Gordon. Apart from appearing in the anime, the Final Kaiser Blade also appears in Super Robot Wars GC/XO, Super Robot Wars Judgement and Super Robot Wars W, since they feature the Mazinkaiser OVA. In installments that feature both Mazinkaiser and Shin Getter Robo, the two can execute the Dynamic Double Impact attack, which involves the Kaiser Sword and the Getter Tomahawk. (All versions)
Reitou Beam
* Mazinkaiser fires a blast of super-cold energy from the antennae on the side of its head. This attack, only seen in the movie, is an improvement of Mazinger Z's Reitou Beam. (Anime only)
Kaiser Knuckle
* In the movie, Mazinkaiser can spin its forearms without launching them, giving its punches more power. It also uses this move as a part of Kaiser Nova in Super Robot Wars W, but cannot use it as a standalone attack. (Anime and game)
Jet Boomerang
* Mazinkaiser launches and remotely controls the Kaiser Scrander at the enemy. (Game only)
Scrander Boomerang
* Mazinkaiser removes the Kaiser Scrander and throws it as a giant boomerang. In the anime it was shown it is powerful enough to cut the Mycene fortress Demonika in half. (Anime and game)
Scrander Cutter Ranbu
* Mazinkaiser flies at a high speed and slashes multiple enemies with its Scrander. (Manga only)
Dynamite Tackle
* In the manga and Super Robot Wars Alpha, Mazinkaiser can charge its body with Photonic Energy and perform a powerful body slam attack. (Manga and game)
Kaiser Nova
* In the manga, Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 and Super Robot Wars W, Mazinkaiser can unleash an incredible amount of Photonic Energy from its body all at once, creating a massive explosion. (Manga and game)
Kaiser Pileder[]
- Like the Mazingers before it, Mazinkaiser's cockpit is located in a separate vehicle which functions as a jet fighter. It is armed with a laser beam in the tip of the nosecone. During the Mazinkaiser movie, Boss hid the Pileder inside Boss Borot to keep it safe from the Mycene.
====Kaiser Scrander====
*OVA
** Like Mazinger Z, Mazinkaiser cannot fly under its own power. When Kouji was thrown into the newly volcanic Mount Fuji in the OVA, Jun and the Photon Power Labs team found the Kaiser Scrander and sent it to save Kouji. The Kaiser Scrander can dock with Mazinkaiser, giving it the ability to fly (as well as be used as an impromptu weapon).

** The Scrander in Super Robot Wars, while detachable(usually for the Jet Boomerang attack) is built-in in the Kaiser. In Super Robot Wars Alpha Gaiden, it was discovered that the Kaiser Scrander made a blind spot that could be used to restrain Mazinkaiser (the same blind spot of Great Mazinger); this was used when the Mycene's Archduke Gorgon found and stole Mazinkaiser. In Super Robot Wars Alpha 2, the Kaiser Scrander is unavailable because Professor Yumi is correcting this flaw; the Scrander doesn't return until partway through Super Robot Wars Alpha 3.
Aphrodite A[]
Aphrodite A (アフロダイA|Afurodai Ēsu)), sometimes romanized as Aphrodai A, is a female mecha from the Mazinger Z anime and manga series, created by Go Nagai. It was the first giant robot in the genre to resemble the female anatomy. She was named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. The robot was created by Dr. Yumi, Dr. Kabuto's apprentice, and since it was originally built for peaceful uses at first it didn't feature any weapons; eventually it acquires the ability to fire missiles from its chest, this was called the Oppai Missile System (Oppai is a Japanese slang term for breasts). Due to the fact it was made of a weaker varient of Super Alloy Z it usually suffers substantially greater damage from attacks. Regardless of these shortcomings, in several opportunities she provides help in battle, and even destroys three Mechanical Beasts in the anime, Gumbina M5, Yubrin T9, and Giant F3. Her missiles also cause the unintentional destruction of Minerva X.
In episode 32, her infamous breast missiles win Mazinger a battle, when Mazinger was unable to destroy the aerial monster Gelbros J3. Sayaka was infuriated when she discovered her robot had, without her consent, been equipped with supersized breast missiles that totally ruined the elegant lines of Aphrodite. Kouji used these modified missiles to give Mazinger Z enough thrust to fly, and forced the enemy to land. Sayaka usually finds support in Boss and his Boss Borot, since Kouji always diminishes their mechas for their lack of weapons and attacks and refers to them as nuisances rather than effective help. In fact, Aphrodite and Borot can be seen in many chapters being trashed together by the mechanical monsters. However, many times he has to acknowledge their importance; such as when Dr. Hell almost takes over the Photonic Research Institute, it is Aphrodite and Borot who stop his infantry from actually entering the building. Aphrodite was once piloted by Kouji in episode 52 after Kouji and Sayaka have a fight and during battle she refuses to help him. As a result, he is severely hurt and comes close to death. Full of regret, Sayaka is willing to risk her own life to defeat arison M1, but Aphrodite is no match to the powerful monster, so she decides to pilot Mazinger. When Kouji realizes this, he takes control of Aphrodite to aid Sayaka, who was losing the fight against the evil mecha. In his way to the place where they were fighting, he complains on how slow the lady robot is. With no time to switch robots the usual way, they make an acrobatic jump to each other's robot and finally the monster is destroyed. In episode 74, Aphrodite A is destroyed by Archduke Gorgon's monster, Harpia Π7, to save Mazinger from its deadly electrified feathers. This causes Sayaka a lot of grief since she misses her robot and even has visions of her in one chapter, and she also feels the need to help in battle again. Afterward, a somewhat improved female robot called Diana A is built to replace her in her role as Mazinger's companion.
In the Shin Mazinger Z reboot of the series, Aphrodite A is first seen in the second episode where Sayaka saves Kouji from a Tauros that is chasing him and Shiro. While it is able to hold its own at first, once the Tauros transform into the Mechanical Beasts Garada K7 and Doublas M2, Aphrodite A is immediately outclassed as it is immediately crippled by Garada K7. It is later revealed that Aphrodite A in this version is made only from regular Alloy Z not the Super Alloy Z of Mazinger, however this is enough that Sayaka considers her robot to be Mazinger's younger sister.

==Minerva X==
Minerva X is a fictional mecha from the anime and manga series Mazinger Z, created by Go Nagai. Within the story, Minerva X was designed by Professor Juzou Kabuto, but its plans were stolen and it was built by Doctor Hell. Minerva X only appeared in episode 38 of that series. She was named after Minerva, the Roman goddess of crafts and wisdom.
Designed many years ago by Professor Juzou Kabuto, Minerva X was intended to be a partner to his greatest creation Mazinger Z. As such, Minerva X has a highly similar body design to Mazinger, as well as having many common weapons. However, the plans for this machine were stolen by Doctor Hell, who later built it in an attempt to destroy Mazinger Z. Unfortunately for Hell, Minerva X's artificial intelligence made it totally loyal to Mazinger, and it quickly defected to the Photonic Labs' team. However, the AI in Minerva made it view Mazinger in a romantic light, causing it to become very jealous and resentful of Sayaka Yumi's Aphrodite A, another "lady robot". Sayaka herself was quite scared and even disturbed by this fact. In the meantime, Doctor Hell sent Archerian J5 to eliminate Minerva, as it was no longer any use to him. During the ensuing battle, Minerva took damage that caused it to lose its "conscience", making it go berserk. Professor Yumi hurriedly worked on a way to bring Minerva back under control, but Kouji had to stop her from destroying the city. He first attempts to restrain Minerva, but when it attempts to destroy a nuclear plant, Sayaka is forced to attack, mortally damaging it. Mazinger Z is installed with Professor Yumi's control system, restoring Minerva's consciousness just before it dies in Mazinger's arms. Afterwards, Kouji and Sayaka give Minerva a burial at sea, hoping that it will rest in peace.
===Statistics===
In Professor Kabuto's original designs, Minerva X was planned to use the same Photonic Energy reactor and Super-Alloy Z as Mazinger Z. However, since Doctor Hell lacked these technologies, the version of Minerva X that was actually built used inferior materials. Had it been built to specifications, Minerva might have been an equal for Mazinger in terms of combat performance.

===Weapons and Attacks===
*Koushiryoku Beam (Photonic Beam): Like Mazinger Z, Minerva X can fire beams of energy from its eyes. However, since the version of Minerva X that was actually built lacked a Photonic reactor, the actual composition of its eye beams is unknown.
*Breast Fire: Again like Mazinger, Minerva's red chest fins acted as giant heat sinks, which could also release the stored thermal energy in a powerful blast. Interestingly, Minerva X was unable to stand the heat generated by Mazinger Z; if the two came too close, Minerva would emit coolant from its eyes, giving it the appearance of crying.
*Rocket Punch: Identical to Mazinger's attack.
*Rust Hurricane: During Dr. Hell's tests, Minerva is shown from the back using her rust hurricane on dummy mechanical beasts. However, she does not make use of this attack during the rest of the chapter.
==Boss Borot==
Boss Borot (ボスボロット Bosu Borotto) is a fictional mecha from the anime and manga series Mazinger Z, first premiering in episode 48. Within the story, Boss Borot was created by three engineers from the Photon Power Laboratory and piloted by Boss and his cohorts Mucha and Nuke. Boss Borot (and Boss himself) serve as the comic relief in Mazinger Z, a role they would continue to play through the Mazinger timeline, reappearing in Great Mazinger, Grendizer, the OVA Mazinkaiser and Shin Mazinger Z. The latter part of its name comes from the Japanese phrase for "crumbling" (ボロボロ boro-boro) in reference to its construction from scrap metal.
Boss was the bully at the local high school attended by Mazinger pilot Kouji Kabuto and his best friend/romantic interest Sayaka Yumi. Jealous of the fact that Kouji got to be so close to Sayaka with whom Boss had been friends for quite a while already, and that he was honored as a hero for saving the day with Mazinger Z all the time, Boss hatched a plan. He and his friends Mucha and Nuke sneaked into the Photon Power Laboratory and used toy guns to hold some engineers hostage, ordering them to build him a robot so he could be a hero too. Unfortunately for Boss, the engineers did not have much to work with. As a result, his self-named Boss Borot ended up being made from scrap metal. Regardless of its obvious flaws, Boss would use Borot throughout the battles with Doctor Hell's minions, gradually learning to respect Kouji and becoming a valued member of the Mazinger team. Even as the group changed over the years, Boss would remain a member of the team, aiding Tetsuya Tsurugi in his battles with the Mikene Empire and even showing up to help Duke Freed fight the Vegans twice.

===Weapons and Accessories===
Though it fights alongside Mazinger Z and its allies, Boss Borot does not have the same weapons commonly associated with members of the Mazinger family. Instead, Borot primarily uses a combination of basic physical attacks and occasional use of impromptu weapons. However, Borot's main weapon is Boss's dedication to his friends and his willingness to stand up to vastly superior enemies. Unlike the other Mazinger robots, Boss has no special vehicle to board the Borot and simply climbs into the cockpit through the openings in its "mouth".
*Ball and chain: Apparently taken from a wrecker.
*An imitation of Mazinger Z's Rust Hurricane.
*Borot Pressure Punch: an attempt to mimic and surpass Great Mazinger's Drill Pressure Punch.
*Borot Chain Attack: This weapon, essentially a length of chain with a lasso-like loop at the end, was used by Borot in the Mazinkaiser movie. Using this "weapon", Boss was able to kill Archduke Gorgon, the Mycene soldier who had been sent to assassinate Kouji.
*Borot Hissatsu Hip Attack: Used in the Mazinkaiser OVA, this attack consists of Borot flinging itself, rear end-first, at the enemy.
*Borot Rolling Crush: Used immediately after the Hip Attack, Borot spins around rapidly, tearing up the ground and anything in its path (as well as making Boss very dizzy). This attack was used to get rid of Dr. Hell's footsoldiers who stood between Kouji and the Kaiser Pilder.
*Borot Homerun: A combination attack between Boss Borot and Shiro's mech, the Robot Junior. The Borot attempts to throw a baseball for Shiro to bat at the enemies. Instead the Borot's head is thrown, with the ball replacing it on the Borot's body. Upon contact, the Borot's head flies into the distance, leaving an explosion behind. In Super Robot Wars J, this attack became a standalone move for the Borot only.
*Borot Dynamic Special: An attack exclusive to the Super Robot Wars series of games, this involves Boss throwing a variety of objects at an enemy, including grenades, rocks, and a giant boulder, before hitting it with a shot from a slingshot and causing a huge explosion capable of destroying an entire group of enemies. The name is in reference to the Final Dynamic Special, a common combination attack between Getter Robo G (or sometimes Shin Getter) and Mazinger Z/Mazinkaiser and Great Mazinger (with Grendizer added in games where it is present), which was based on the attack used to destroy Dragonosaurus in one of the Mazinger Movies. Surprisingly, this is generally treated as a disproportionately overpowered attack, usable after movement (though it has short range and is limited to one shot), and is on par with some of the strongest attacks in the game - because, when customizing the weapon, it gains more attack power than any other. In Super Robot Wars K, the Borot would rush at the enemy, just to trip over a rock, ejecting the head towards said enemy, which hits multiple times; at the end, Borot puts his head back, and punches the foe. If it's a Dynamic Kill, he will pose after the punch, with the foe exploding, making Borot's body explode; the head still survives, and a bolt falls comically over it. Super Robot Wars Z features two different version of the attack: an anti-ground variant in which Borot replaces its feet with torpedoes and crashes into the enemy (based on a scene from Mazinger Z vs. The Great General of Darkness), and an in-air variant in which Borot dresses like a magician (inspired by Dororon Enma-kun) and fires a beam from a magic wand.
*Borot Spazer: In his typical fashion, Boss was impressed by Grendizer and sought to outdo Duke. To this end, he devised the Borot Spazer, an attempt to surpass the Spazer. However, given Boss's limited resources, the Borot Spazer ended up a comical contraption held aloft by a helicopter-style rotor, and it fell to pieces by the end of the episode.
==Diana A==
Diana A (ダイアナンA Daianan Ēsu) is a female mecha from the Mazinger Z anime and manga series, created by Go Nagai. It was the successor of Aphrodite A after its destruction. She was named after Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting.
After Aphrodite A's demise, it was necessary to build a new robot to help Mazinger Z fight the enemy. Unlike her predecessor, Diana is conceived with this in mind by Dr. Yumi and his fellow scientists, and is better adapted to battle. However, she is still a symbol of peace, and her weapons are not as powerful as Mazinger's. She features the characteristic Oppai Missile System and can fire Scarlet Beams from her eyes. Whereas Aphrodite A had a rather softer presence and a warmer color scheme, Diana had a tougher presence and a colder color scheme. In contrast to Aphrodite, Diana has a human face, a characteristic that would be seen again in Venus A, Great Mazinger's female companion.
Diana fights alongside Mazinger and Boss Borot from her first appearance in episode 76 until the end of the series. Despite being a tougher machine than her predacessor, she often suffers great damage in battle. However, her Scarlet Beams prove to be effective in many situations. These beams seem to be similar to Mazinger's Photonic rays, but they are pink instead of yellow. In the movie Mazinger Z Vs. The Great General of Darkness, her participation is rather short; her weapons are useless against the powerful Warrior Beasts and ends up split in two by Dante's discus. Ironically is thanks to her missiles that the same monster is destroyed; in an attempt to help Koji, who was outnumbered by the Mikene monsters, Borot flies to the battlefield with two of Diana's missiles attached to his feet and hits Dante with his guard down, blowing him into pieces.

==Venus A==
Venus A (ビューナスA Byūnasu Ēsu) is a female mecha from the Great Mazinger anime and manga series, created by Go Nagai. She plays the traditional role of the lady robot that helps the mazinger robot fight the enemy. She was named after Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
The robot was created by Dr. Kenzo Kabutom son of Juzo Kabuto and father of Koji and Shiro Kabuto, and piloted by Jun Hono. When the Mikenese Armies prove too strong for Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger enters the scene and Venus is its companion in battle, together with Boss Borot. Despite the improvement Venus represents compared to Aphrodite A and Diana A, and being quite capable in combat, she usually suffers more damage than Great Mazinger, as was the case with Aphrodite and Diana compared to Mazinger. She appears from the first to the last chapter of the Great Mazinger TV series, when Mazinger and Diana return to help them defeat the enemy.
Venus A returns in the Mazinkaiser OVAs. In this case, there are two versions of her, one of them is more stylized, piloted by Sayaka Yumi after Aphrodite A is destroyed, and the other one (piloted by Jun) is more similar to the classic one. The first Mazinkaiser Venus is infected with a virus by Drago Ω1, a mechanical beast, in one of the OVAs and mutates into a Medusa version, becoming evil and attacking Mazinkaiser and the institute. In this state, Venus operates without pilot and has several snakes coming out of her head, but instead of heads they only have a big eye that fires beams. Eventually, she has to be destroyed since she can't be turned back to her former self. The second Venus, more similar to the classical one, appears briefly in the Mazinkaiser vs. The Great General of Darkness OVA, defending the city of Sidney from the Warrior Beasts and General Ardias, but is defeated and torn to pieces by him. Venus A also appears in Shin Mazinger, this version of her looks to be a cross between her Mazinkaiser and Mazinger Angels versions.
===Weapons===
Venus is substantially more powerful than either Aphrodite or Diana, though her power could be compared to Minerva X's. Aside from being made of a special alloy, Venus has the following characteristics:
*Oppai missiles
*Photon beams
*Venus Scrander (similar to Mazinger's, it was a separate machine that could be attached to Venus' body and allowed her to fly)
*Finger missiles

==Robot Junior==
Robot Junior is a mecha piloted by Kabuto Shiro in the manga and anime Great Mazinger that first premiered in episode 25. The robot resembles a little boy in a baseball jersey, and the "docking vehicle" that Shiro pilots to connect with it is shaped like a baseball cap. Robot Junior's special attacks include "Iron Batter", a parody of both Mazinger Z's "Iron Cutter" special attack and Great Mazinger's "Mazinger Blade" special attack, in which an iron baseball bat shoots out of Robot Junior's shoulder, which Robot Junior can catch and wield as a weapon. In Super Robot Wars D Robot Junior and Boss Borat have Combination attack where Robot Junior take the bat and Boss Borat holds out a Tee ball for Robot Junior to hit but misses and Hits Boss Borat's head off turning it into a projectile.

==Mazinger Army==
The Mazinger Army is a corps composed of three robots made out of Alloy Z that appear in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, and attempt to battle against the invasion of the Mikene Empire. Despite managing to hold the Warrior Beasts back for a short time, all three of the mecha and their pilots are destroyed at the hands of the Mikene Empire's Seven Generals. They also appear in the manga version of Mazinkaiser, with slightly modified body structures, such as Million Alpha's thrusters are designed differently and Daion Gamma having legs as opposed to the legless, and seem to be relatively more resistant to attacks compared to the OVA versions. The Mazinger Army makes another appearance in Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z Hen, where they are working alongside Aphrodite A and help Mazinger Z in battle. They are shown being destroyed in the non-standard first episode, scenes which are repeated in the opening of the series. In Episode 21 however, they are shown in newly-upgraded robots and in mass production.
*Million Alpha is piloted by Lori and Loru. Despite being part of the Mazinger Army, it does not even have a passing resemblance to Mazinger Z. It has the ability to fly at high speeds and fire beams from a special device located behind its face. The Million Alpha can also use its spike-like arms in melee combat. The cockpits for the twin sisters were placed in the chest of the robot, in a similar way to Marquis Yanus's robot. In the Mazinkiser vs The Dark General OVA, both Lori and Loru die piloting the mecha when they are crushed to death by General Birdler in their cockpits, but they also destroy the flying fortress Mikeros when they ram the general into the vessel and self-destruct.
*Baion Beta is a skinny-looking mecha whose primary attack is Rust Hurricane, an attack from the original Mazinger that used gale force winds to reduce an enemy to dust. Unlike Mazinger Z's version, Baion Beta's Rust Hurricane came from a grate in its stomach, which resembled Mazinger's mouthplate. It appeared to be far more agile than the original Mazinger, but was also far less durable. It is destroyed by General Julius Caesar in Egypt when it was beheaded along with its pilot.
*Daion Gamma was a heavily built mecha with a Mazinger-style face and no legs (instead having powerful hovering thrusters). Its primary attack was Breast Fire, the original Mazinger's most powerful attack. Unlike the original version (which came from the heat sinks on Mazinger Z's chest), Daion Gamma opened its chest armour to reveal four heat sinks shaped like Mazinger's. Though this suggested its firepower is greater than even Mazinger, it did not seem very maneuverable. Destroyed by General Draydou in China with his fire breath.
==Mechanical Beasts and Ghost Mechanical Beasts==
Mechanical Beasts were the monsters and evil mecha from the manga and anime series Mazinger Z. During an expedition to the Greek island of Bardos, ruins of the ancient Mikenese Empire are found. Among these ruins, the expedition team discovers wrecked giant automata that once served the inhabitants of the island as protection against invaders. Amazed by them, they rebuild them, without noticing that one of the scientists in the team, Dr. Hell, had secretly implanted remote control devices on the machines. Seeking to use them to achieve his dream of world domination, Dr. Hell commands his newly acquired golems to kill the entire staff of the expedition so that he can prepare his next steps without obstacles. The robots succeeded in slaughtering all the scientists (by burning them with fire they spat from their mouths) but one, Dr. Juzo Kabuto, who escapes as he hears Hell's promise to find him and kill him. These are the beasts that appear, sometimes repeatedly, throughout the manga, anime TV series, Mazinger OVAs and Mazinkaiser OVAs. Some of the names may vary according to the translation. Even though technically some of them are not mechanical beasts but warrior beasts (such as Gusios and Elefans), they are listed here since they appeared in the Mazinger series and are usually grouped as mechanical beasts. At episode 68 the Mechanical Beasts are given organic parts from the Mikene Empire thanks to Archduke Gorgon and are referred to as Ghost Mechanical Beasts.

===Fragment===
In the 2003 PlayStation 2 game Super Robot Wars Scramble Commander from Banpresto, a ghost mechanical beast was constructed by materials from the game's main antagonist, the Swordian Guardian. The ghost mechanical beast was given the name Fragment (フラグメント) and created by the Mikene Empire using mechanical beast technology from Dr. Hell. Fragment was given to Baron Ashura to actually pilot, something originally only done with Belgas V5 in the original series, to assist Great General of Darkness lead an assault on the Japanese coast that would lead to the Photon Institution. After the general is defeated, Fragment is sent into action. Powers include swimming, a large knife on its scalp, a meathook for the right arm, lasers from the left palm, and tremendously thick armor that easily allowed it to survive onslaughts.
Warrior Beasts[]
The Warrior Beasts (sentoujuu), also referred to as Battle Beasts in some translations, were the monsters and evil mecha from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger by Go Nagai. Great Mazinger was the sequel to the wildly popular Mazinger Z. In the story, the Warrior Beasts were the secret super-weapons of the Mikene Empire] an ancient empire driven underground centuries in the past.
===Characteristics and history===
Like their predecessors the Mechanical Beasts (kikaiju), they were armed with a variety of weapons, such as ray beams, missiles, bombs, swords, spears, axes, nets, acids and drills. They differed from the Mechanical Beasts in a number of ways. For one, they were controlled by human brains: a Mikene's Warrior that is permanently placed and interfaced with the Warrior Beast body, that he can move like his own. This means that the Warrior Beasts were a sort of giant cyborgs. As a result of this, most of them have a distinctive human head or face within the mechanical body.
They were overall far more powerful and thanks to their cyborg nature, they had also far more better reaction time, adaptability and skills than the Mechanical Beasts, and some of them are capable of showing emotions or even speak. This cyborg nauture is also a weakness, a direct hit in the human head or face can destroy or severely weaken the Warrior Beast. Throughout the series the underworld in which the Mikene Empire thrives gives us little information about them. In episode 2 the idea of imprisonment has been used on traitors like the warrior beast Garalia, meaning that they have free will although some might prove as psychotic. The same episode shows functioning Talos units, mechanical beasts shown from the first episode of Mazinger Z that were found in ruins and rebuilt by Dr. Hell.
Most of the warrior beasts are presumed to be thousands of years old just like their generals, although some such as Grecious in episode 7 were created in the span of a day, perhaps even hours. In episode 9 the idea of personal relationships is known as Minister Argos claims that the warrior beast Cleo is his daughter. Although most of them have murderous personalities, few do not such as the warrior beast Bruton as shown in episode 10 and Kelvinius in episode 16. In episode 16 Kelvinius has flashbacks indicating that the original Mycenae Empire was once a peaceful nation with him as the prince until the Emperor of Darkness ordered human sized Talos units led by Great General of Darkness, also human sized at the time, to take over the entire nation and convert everyone including their prince into warrior beasts; although many were spared and instead were used as Mikene soldiers used for grunt work such as running the Mikelos. In episode 52 the process of "fusion" between the human and the robot is hinted when Shinichiro Okida was merged by Marquis Janus with a robot to create the Warrior Beast Jerunicas.
In addition, the Warrior Beasts could be grouped into one of 7 categories, as the entire Mikene Empire's forces could be divided into 7 armies.
===The seven armies===
*Superhuman Warrior Beasts: Led by General Julius Caesar] it is the largest of the seven armies. As the name suggests, most of this army's Battle Beasts are humanoid in shape. They often carry weapons such as swords, shields and spears.
*Spectral Warrior Beasts: Led by General Hadias, this army specializes in inspiring fear in the enemies of the Mikene Empire. This army's forces tend to take the form of demons or ghosts.
*Aerial Warrior Beasts: The main air force of the Mikene Empire's forces, this army is led by General Birdler. Virtually every member of this army is winged, though some fly using thrusters or jets.
*Mammalian Warrior Beasts: One of the Mikene Empire's ground forces, this army is led by the vile General Ligern. The Warrior Beasts of this army are based on mammals, many of them being four-legged. Ramming targets seems to be a favourite tactic.
*Reptilian Warrior Beasts: Commanded by the dragon-like General Draydou, this army has a mix of air and ground troops. Being based on reptiles, the Warrior Beasts of this unit tend to be more vicious than most.
*Aquatic Warrior Beasts: The navy of the Mikene Empire is led by General Angoras. This army is strongest in the water, though many Warrior Beasts that are part of this army are amphibious.
*Insect Warrior Beasts: Tough and adaptable, this army follows their leader General Scarabeth into battle. Like the Reptilian Warrior Beast army, this force has a combination of air and ground troops (though leaning more towards air power).
All seven armies were beneath the supreme command of the Great General of Darkness. After his defeat and death at the hands of Great Mazinger, the Great Marshall of Hell took over supreme command. However, it can be noted that there was an unofficial eighth warrior beast army; the Chouhou or Multicapable/Intelligence (or convenience) Warrior Beasts. These warrior beasts were more robotic and mechanical in nature than other Warrior Beasts and displayed characteristics that could not easily be classified into one of the seven normal armies. It can be noted that they share the same name as Minister Argos, implying the robotic factor of the beasts. Another title for them could have also been Indeterminate Warrior Beasts.
===List of Warrior Beasts===
Some of the names may vary according to the translation. It must be also noted that in the final episode 92 of Mazinger Z, Gratonios and Pilanias were also warrior beasts, superhuman and aquatic types, respectively.

===Fight to the Death! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness!===
In the OVA special Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness, much of the movie revolves around Kouji Kabuto trying to get back to the Photonic Research Institute and Mazinkaiser while trying to avoid being killed by the Warrior Beasts. Most of the Warrior Beasts are redesigned versions of the ones appearing in the series and the OVA. Meanwhile, the other Warrior Beasts battle the so-called Mazinger Army (made up of Great Mazinger, Venus A and three significantly weaker versions of Mazinger Z). They defeat and destroy all but Great Mazinger, who is nonetheless no longer capable of combat. However, they pay a heavy price as Birdler, Scarabeth and Angoras are killed in combat. As Kouji continues his journey, a missile attack kills Rigarn and his entire army.
Eventually, Kouji reaches the Photonic Research Institute despite the efforts of Archduke Gorgon. In their desperation to destroy Mazinkaiser, the Mikene armies of Caeser, Ardias and Draydou ripped the very ground apart, seeking its underground hangar. Unluckily for them, Mazinkaiser was being stored in space, out of their reach. With Boss' help, Kouji is able to activate Mazinkaiser. Living up to its title of Ultimate Mazinger, Mazinkaiser then wipes out every last one of the surviving Battle Beasts and kills the three generals with almost embarrassing ease.
===In Other Media===
Various warrior beasts have appeared in the majority of Super Robot Wars titles including Obereus, Zugar, Psychobear, Gracious, Dolark, Jerunicas, Tollukan, Giran, Dukraider, Gogler, Gold Phoenix, and Vulcania from the series and Dante, Saraga, Arsoth, and Grosten from Mazinger Z vs. The Great General of Darkness; the Mazinkaiser version of Dante is the only true warrior beast in Super Robot Wars Judgment, W, and Link with others being the seven generals of the Mikene Empire lead by the Great General of Darkness.
The generals Julicaeser, Birdler, Hadias, and Draydou have few appearances, the former two only having their original versions appear in Super Robot Wars Alpha 2 while the latter two also appear in Super Robot Wars 4. All seven generals appear in their Mazinkaiser versions in Super Robots Wars Judgment, Super Robots Wars W, and Super Robots Wars Link.
==Great General of Darkness==
The Great General of Darkness (闇黒大将軍, Ankoku Daishōgun) was a fictional character, a supervillain and warlord from the series Great Mazinger although he first appeared in the final episode of Mazinger Z. He takes the form of a gigantic warrior wearing a helmet decorated with three horns, a long red cape and vaguely Roman-like armor. His true face is that of a bearded old man and is set into his chest. He reappeared in the OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness, redesigned; his new look has him sporting black armor, a black cape with red insides, and a smaller true face.
The supreme commander of the Mikene Empire (Mikene Teikoku), the Great General of Darkness leads the seven Mikene armies in their conquest of the surface world. Forced underground centuries before, the Mikene further developed the golem technology Dr. Hell discovered and used to create his Mechanical Beasts. Instead of purely mechanical mecha, the Mikene Warrior Beasts are a nightmarish combination of flesh and machine, and are far more powerful than their purely mechanical cousins.
In all of his incarnations, the Great General of Darkness is a force to be reckoned with. In close combat he wields a mighty sword capable of slicing mountains (in Shin Mazinger Z) and bashing through opponents. While at a distance, he can unleash purple-colored beams from his eyes that are powerful enough to match Mazinkaiser's Koushiryoku Beam. On the defensive end, the Great General of Darkness is no slouch either; as his cape can withstand Fire Blaster's intense heat, and his true face survived a direct strike from Great Mazinger's swords and in his 2003 incarnation, a direct blast from Mazinkaiser's Koushiryoku Beams (which were shown to be powerful to destroy the Mikene warrior Dante with one strike).
Great Marshell of Hell[]
After Great General of Darkness faces Great Mazinger and dies in battle, the Emperor of Darkness replaces him as supreme commander of the Mikene forces. Dr. Hell is somehow brought back to life and placed in a cockpit on the head of the giant body of the Great Marshall of Hell, shortly after he arrives to the Mikene palace in the Underworld by traveling in a tornado; upon his arrival the Emperor of Darkness greets him as the new supreme commander of his army. Now wearing an eye patch, most likely obtain from his death upon the explosion of the Gool, the rest of his actual body is under his cape. The face of his robot resembles his facial features, and his appearance, in contrast to the General of Darkness, is more of an emperor rather than a warrior. His right hand has the shape of a giant claw similar to a hook.
The Marshall seeks revenge against the new Mazinger, and keeps his old dreams of glory and domination. It's quite ironic that while in the previous series Hell was manipulated by the Mikene empire and functional to their plans that they eventually choose him as the Dark General's successor. It has been suggested that this was an attempt to bring back some of the old Mazinger Z series spirit to the newer Great Mazinger series in order to invigorate it. The Great Marshall of Hell had to live up to the General of Darkness' reputation, but mostly failed to be as charismatic as him, despite being just as cruel and merciless. In episode 40 he creates a new fortress after the destruction of the Mikelos based on the Gool, the Demonika.
He would eventually find his end on board of his beloved Demonika, along with Marquis Janus and some of the Seven Generals. Despite his efforts, Hell would be again defeated in this incarnation, not only by Great Mazinger, but by Mazinger Z, who returned at the end of the series.
==Emperor of Dakrness==
The Emperor of Darkness (Yami no Teiou 闇の帝王) was a fictional character, a supervillain and warlord from the manga and anime series Great Mazinger. Great Mazinger was the sequel to the wildly popular Mazinger Z. It was depicted as a large flaming entity. As the Emperor of the Mikene Empire, he was the true enemy behind the Great General of Darkness and the Great Marshall of Hell. His defeat marked the end of the Mikene Empire. He is the only survivor of the final battle in Great Mazinger because he never was with his troops. He survives the series too. The only story where he is finally killed (accidentally by Koji after his offer to help Duke Fleed against Vega) is the manga version of UFO Robot Gendizer drawn by Gosaku Ota. In Shin Mazinger Shogeki! Z-Hen, his true identity is the deity Hades who came from the original planet of the Mykene Empire and an enemy of Zeus. He took the identity of the Great Emperor of Darkness after Zeus thrown him a Rocket punch of his own making and sank him along with Bardos Island.
==The Generals and Lesser Mikene Commanders==
===Minister Argos===
Minister Argos or Chouhou Choukan Arugosu is a villain from the manga and anime Great Mazinger. He primarily advises the series' other villains, and rarely directly commands Warrior Beasts. Like most of the rest of the Mikenese, he is roughly 25 meters tall, dressed in armor, and his "normal" head seems entirely decorative. Unlike most of the rest of the Mikenese, however, his "real" head is housed in the pommel of his cane rather than his chest; Minister Argos's chest instead houses a giant computer, which assumed houses the great wisdom he uses to advise other Mikenese. In episode 9 it was revealed that he considered the warrior beast, Cleo, as his daughter. Minister Argos began the series as an adviser to Archduke Gorgon. As demonstrated in episode 17 he can use his beard as a sword and use it well enough to hold his own against Great General of Darkness. After Archduke Gorgon died in the 21st episode of the anime, Minister Argos became the adviser of Gorgon's replacement, Marquis Janus. In episode 54 Great Mazinger uses a Drill pressure Punch to tear through Minister Argos's torso and breaks his left arm off, leaving him as only a head for the last two episodes. Minister Argos also appears in Super Robot Wars Alpha 2 reprising his role as the Mikene Empire's primary adviser.
Archduke Gorgon[]
Archduke Gorgon (ゴーゴン大公) was a villain who was seen primarily in the fictional giant robot anime Great Mazinger, but appeared several times in its prequel series, Mazinger Z, as well. He resembles a centaur somewhat, as from the waist up he is a green-skinned man, but below the waist has the body of a saber-toothed tiger. However, his human half is attached to the rear part of the tiger, so it still has its head. Gorgon was sent by the Mikene Empire to overlook the development of events between Dr. Hell and Mazinger Z, so that everything went according to the plans of the Emperor of Darkness. Hence, he plays an ambivalent role, both of alliance and treason with Hell. He provides him with powerful Warrior Beasts, but his true goal is to use Hell's forces to eliminate Mazinger and then take over with Mikene's own. Allegedly, they forge a deal in the Island of Bardos to collaborate in Mazinger's destruction, but at the end of the series, when the time comes Gorgon leaves Hell to his own fate alone.
In the anime version,after Hell's death, Gorgon sends Gratonios and Pilanias to finish Mazinger off. Great Mazinger's intervention in the last minute is the link to the continuation of the saga, were Gorgon can be seen as a less powerful figure compared to his superiors, the Great General of Darkness and Minister Argos. Due to internal struggles for power that involve the Seven Generals, the Great General and Minister Argos, Gorgon is somewhat betrayed and during the construction of a new Mikene base, he intercepted Great Mazinger as it attacked the warrior beast Dandaros. Upon trying to save the warrior beast Gorgon flies in and is shattered by the Thunder Break, tossing his body into the sea shortly after. He is seen in his last moments with his tiger body destroyed, carrying his feline head under his arm, and the Emperor of Darkness congratulates him for constructing the new Mikene Empire base. He would be replaced by Marquis Janus.
Marquis Janus[]
Marquis Janus (ヤヌス侯爵), also named Marquis Yanus, is a villain in the anime and manga Great Mazinger. She is a witch in a long red dress with horn-shaped purple hair, reminiscent of the headdress of Maleficent. She carries a white wooden staff, and has a black cat perched on her shoulder. Her various witchcraft powers include flight, teleportation, invisibility, and the ability to control people by jamming an electronic spike into their heads. Like the rest of the Mikenese, Marquis Janus has two faces much like the Roman god of the same name; at various times, her head spins 180 degrees, hiding her "beautiful" face and revealing the hag-like "evil" face that is usually concealed under her hair. She first appeared in episode 22 of the Great Mazinger anime as a replacement for Archduke Gorgon after Archduke Gorgon was accidentally killed by Great Mazinger in the previous episode. As Archduke Gorgon did before her, she retains Minister Argos as her chief adviser.
Marquis Janus has her own mecha, the Janus Koushaku, is roughly the same size as the Mikenese Generals and Great Mazinger (around 20 meters) and resembles a demonic version of herself; in episode 51 the Janus Koushaku appears to have the ability to reduce its size so far as to appear as a human. The mecha's cockpit is in its left breast and is armed with sharp fingernail claws and eye beams designed to knock people out (although this is an ability Janus herself uses). Both of them appear in Super Robot Wars 64, making it their only appearance in the cross-over franchise; in it Janus Koushaku is armed with a heat ray from its torso instead of eye beams, but retains her claws. Marquis Janus finally meets her end in the final episode of Great Mazinger, when she is destroyed along the Great Marshall Of Hell in the explosion of the fortress Demonika.
====The Catloo Corps====
The Catloo Corps was Marquis Janus' personal army of robotic cat ninjas that first premiered in episode 35. They could give off electric shocks with their tails (which by themselves have enough force to stun humans), had a pair of small missile launchers on their arms, as well as hand-to-hand skills, and were generally used for tasks a typical warrior beast would be too large or obtrusive. For example, in their first appearance they commandeered Boss Borot and had it block off the launch tube for Great Mazinger. As with all the villains' foot soldiers, though, they were no match for the Great Mazinger and the other robots. In episode 37 the Catloo infiltrated the Fortress of Science in a cargo of crates. In episode 48 they demonstrate capabilities of staying underwater for long periods of time, while doing so their missiles are replaced with harpoons.
===General Julicaesar===
Superhuman General Julicaesar (超人将軍ユリシーザー Choujin Shougun YuriShiizaa), or Superhuman Commander Julicaesar, is a supervillain and warrior from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger. His name in Japanese is a corruption of the famous general's name. He was commander of the Superhuman Warrior Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic human warrior with purple skin and dressed in Roman-style armour, with a flaming circular crest on his head. His true face was originally mounted on his chest, but in his redesign in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA it was placed on his flaming crest instead.
According to his profile included in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, his army is the largest of the Seven Armies and he is considered by many to be the Great General of Darkness' right-hand man. According to his manga description, Julicaesar dislikes the use of dirty tactics and proudly confronts enemies head on. He can detach the flaming crest situated on his head and throw it at a target much like a boomerang, as seen in his one-sided battle against Baion Beta, and when he was in pursuit of Koji Kabuto in his Kaiser Pilder. However, it can be noted that in the original series, General Julicaesar throws his entire head at enemies instead of the crest alone.
General Draydou[]
Reptilian General Draydou (妖爬虫将軍ドレイドウ Hachūurui Shougun Doreidou), also known as the Dangerously Tempered General Draydou or Great Lizard Commander Doreido (妖爬虫将軍ドレイドゥ), is commander of the Reptilian Warrior Beasts, one of the Seven Armies on the Mikene Empire. He was commander of the Reptilian Warrior Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a humanoid lizard with French musketeer-style garments, with his true face on his chest. In the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA his clothes are redesigned to be red instead of blue like in the original series. He is to be the most cunning out of all the seven generals yet he fights dirty according to manga translations. He is also said to be one of the more careful generals. He has the ability to breathe a deadly stream of radioactive fire from his reptilian head.
Draydou also appeared in Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness. He battled the Mazinger Army member Daion Gamma in China along with his Battle Beast army. Despite the best efforts of the Mazinger, Draydou shrugged off his Breast Fire attack and returned fire with his own mouth flames, reducing it to slag. He and his forces later joined General Julicaesar and General Hadias at the ruins of the Photoatomic Research Lab at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Together, they intended to kill Kouji Kabuto before he could find and activate Mazinkaiser. The Generals knew from observing his battles with Dr. Hell that the Super Robot would be a major threat to their conquest of the surface world.
===General Birdler===
Aerial General Birdler (怪鳥将軍バーダラー Kai tori shōgun bādarā), also known as Mysterious Bird General Birdler or Sky Battalion Commander Birdler (怪鳥将軍 バーダラー), is commander of the Aerial Warrior Beasts, one of the Seven Armies on the Mikene Empire. He resembles a demonic angel, with his true face on his chest. He is commander of the Aerial Warriot Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a demonic angel, with his true face on his chest.. In the Mazinkaiser OVA his head and neck appear more reptilian, but overall remains the same. In his official character profile for the Mazinkaiser OVA, he is stated to be bullish and overconfident. According to his manga description, Birdler's lightning-fast speed and maneuverability make him a skilled fighter. It is also stated that Birdler has several abilities, as he can launch ultrasonic mouth waves and create shockwaves and tornadoes from his wings.
General Birdler also reappears in the Mazinkaiser OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness, although he is the first of the seven generals to be destroyed. He uses the Mikeros to attack Kouji before he can reach Mazinkaiser in Japan. He and the Mikeros appear from a massive storm cloud in order to confront Koji, and the diabolical avian orders his aerial army (consisting of Birdian, Obereus, Tollukan and Greydos) to destroy the plane Koji is riding in, but the beasts are destroyed by the Million Alpha, who is escorting Koji. Frustrated by the Million Alpha's interference, Birdler decides to fight the mecha himself but, he is killed by a kamikaze attack from the Million Alpha.
General Hadias[]
Evil Spirit General Hadias (悪霊将軍ハ-ディアス Akuryou Shougun Haadias), also referred to as General Hardias or Evil Spirit Battalion Commander Hardius, is a fictional character, a supervillain and warrior from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger. He is commander of the Spectral Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic skeleton wearing a ragged cloak with an upside-down skull for a head. His true face is mounted on his chest in the original anime version. In his redesign for the Mazinkaiser OVA, his true face is hidden in darkness inside his cloak (only the glowing eyes are visible) while the skull is now covered in blue flames. He wields a scythe as his weapon of choice in both versions. According to his profile included in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, he is a master of psychological warfare and enjoys terrifying and demoralizing his victims before killing them. According to the translation of the Great Mazinger manga, Hadias possesses remarkable psychic powers and has the ability to breathe fire from the head on his hand.
General Hadias also appeared in Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness. He battled the Mazinger Army member Venus A in Australia along with his Battle Beast army. He easily defeated it, but unknowingly failed to kill the pilot Jun Hono when he ripped her control vehicle out of Venus' head. He and his forces later joined General Draydou and General Julius Caesar at the ruins of the Photoatomic Research Lab at the foot of Mt. Fuji. Together, they intended to kill Kouji Kabuto before he could find and activate sea bass. The Generals knew from observing his battles with Dr. Hell that the Super Robot would be a major threat to their conquest of the surface world. They were forced to resort to killing Kouji when their surprise attack on the Lab failed to produce Mazinkaiser. The Battle Beasts even ripped a gigantic crater into the ground, trying to dig up its underground facility, but were unable to find it. The mystery of Mazinkaiser's location was solved when Kouji managed to board the Kaiser Pilder and began flying upwards towards space, apparently on collision course with an incoming meteor. To their horror, the three Generals realised the meteor was actually Mazinkaiser, which had been stored in space beyond their reach. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to prevent Kouji from docking in. After the destruction of their entire force within seconds, the three Generals attempted to face Mazinkaiser themselves. However, after General Julius Caesar was disintegrated by the Super Robot's Rust Tornado attack, Hadias apparently became a victim of his own weapon: fear. A terrified whimper was all that escaped him as he fruitlessly attempted to block Mazinkaiser's Reitou Beam with his scythe, only to be frozen solid then broken into pieces.
General Ligern[]
Wild Beast General Ligern (猛獣将軍ライガーン Moujuu Shougun Raigaan), also referred to as General Rigarn or Wild Beast Battalion Commander Raigon (猛獣将軍ライガーン), is a fictional character, a supervillain and warrior from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger. He is commander of the Mammalian Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a demonic centaur in the original series, with his true face on his chest. In the Mazinkaiser OVA he appears more reptilian, but overall remains the same, as his mane color is changed from green to red and his body armor is now colored black instead of gray. According to his profile included in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, Ligern is the most vile of the Seven Generals and is unpopular even among his fellow Generals. This is mostly due to his tendency to steal their thunder in attempts to make himself look good. It was apparently only the skill he has in whipping his troops into bloodthirsty frenzies that prevented the Great General of Darkness from killing him personally. According to his manga description, Ligern practices shameless battle tactics and is among the more fierce of the seven generals. He also the ability to fire electromagnetic beams from his fangs.
General Ligern also reappears in the Mazinkaiser OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness and is the only one of the Seven Generals to be killed by human hands, rather than at the hands of a mecha like Great Mazinger or Mazinkaiser). He leads his Mammalian Warrior Beasts (consisting of Mommothos, Doleman and Grabaru) to a remote base in Siberia, where Archduke Gorgon, the Great General's personal assassin, has tracked the pilot of Mazinkaiser Kouji Kabuto. Despite knowing the Great General has ordered Gorgon to slay the youth before he could activate the powerful robot, Ligern attempts to steal the Mikene officer's thunder by attacking the base himself. This eagerness proves to be his downfall, as Professor Morimori, one of the professors accompanying Kouji and Sayaka Yumi, launches a suicidal missile attack that kills him and completely obliterates the Mammalian Battle Beast Army. Ligern himself is killed when a missile ripped his body and face in half before detonating.
General Angoras[]
Aquatic General Angoras, alternately known as Sea Demon Commander Angoras (魔魚将軍アンゴラス Gyorui Shougun Angorasu), or Demon Fish General Anglerus, is a fictional character, a supervillain and warrior from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger. He is commander of the Aquatic Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a humanoid angler fish, with his true face mounted on the tip of his antennae. It is stated in the manga and his Mazinkaiser OVA profile that General Angoras can use the large fins on his head to create enormous tsunamis. According to his profile included in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, Angoras is an expert ambusher and often strikes victims from below, a tactic often used by his Aquatic Battle Beast forces. According to his manga description, Angoras is the most ruthless among the seven generals and has no qualms about killing his own Warrior Beasts.
General Angoras reappeared in the Mazinkaiser OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness and was killed alongside General Scarabeth by Tetsuya Tsurugi and Great Mazinger. Scarabeth and Angoras led their Insect Battle Beast and Aquatic Battle Beast armies to New York to deal with Great Mazinger. The fact that two armies were sent to fight Great (as opposed to one each for the other members of the so-called Mazinger Army) shows how dangerous Great was to them. While difficult, Tetsuya defeated most of their troops but as a result was unable to put up much of a fight when the two generals attacked him in tandem. In apparent desperation, he used the Great Boomerang (which the two generals easily avoided) and followed up with Great Typhoon. This second attack was easily shrugged off by Angoras, who mocked Great's weakness. As they moved in for the kill, Scarabeth was suddenly split in two vertically by the Great Boomerang, which then went on to slash Angoras badly on the back and stomach. As he lay dying, a horrified Angoras came to the same conclusion Scarabeth did; the Great Typhoon was never meant to be an attack, it had been meant to change the direction of the Great Boomerang. After Tetsuya confirmed this, then finished the two helpless generals off with Breast Burn. Angoras' aquatic forces did not aid their commander in his clash in New York and instead proceeded to Japan, where they were annihilated by Mazinkaiser.
General Scarabeth[]
Giant Insect General Scarabeth (大昆虫将軍スカラベス Dai Konchuu Shougun Sukarabesu), also known as Big Bug Battalion Commander Scarabas or Great Insect General Scarabus, is a fictional character, a supervillain and warrior from the anime and manga series Great Mazinger. He was commander of the Insect Battle Beasts, one of the Seven Armies of the Mikene Empire. He resembles a gigantic rhinoceros beetle, with his true face mounted on his chest. He brings a sword with him in the original Great Mazinger series and in the Mazinkaiser OVA, he has the ability to release streams of binding silk from his insect head in order to immobilize targets. The silk is stated to be as tough as steel. According to his profile included in the Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness OVA, Scarabeth is one of the most battle-hungry of the Seven Generals. He is also prone to charging into battle far ahead of his troops, putting him at risk of being cut off from support. According to his manga description, Scarabeth is a remarkable tactician, able to create strategies that complete missions with less manpower and resources thought possible.
General Scarabeth reappeared in the Mazinkaiser OVA Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great General of Darkness and was killed alongside General Angoras by Tetsuya Tsurugi and Great Mazinger. Scarabeth and Angoras led their Insect Warrior Beast and Aquatic Warrior Beast armies to New York to deal with Great Mazinger. The fact that two armies were sent to fight Great (as opposed to one each for the other members of the so-called Mazinger Army) shows how dangerous Great was to them. While difficult, Tetsuya defeated most of their troops but as a result was unable to put up much of a fight when the two generals attacked him in tandem. Tetsuta used his famed Thunder Break against the insect-like general, but Scarabus easily shrugged it off. In apparent desperation, he used the Great Boomerang (which the two generals easily avoided) and followed up with Great Typhoon. This second attack was easily shrugged off by Angoras, who mocked Great's weakness. As they moved in for the kill, Scarabeth was suddenly split in two vertically by the Great Boomerang, which then went on to slash Angoras badly on the back and stomach. As he lay dying, a horrified Scarabeth came to the same conclusion Angoras did; the Great Typhoon was never meant to be an attack, it had been meant to change the direction of the Great Boomerang (as well as speed it up so it would do more damage). Tetsuya confirmed this, then finished the two helpless generals off with Breast Burn.
===General Juuma===
This character only appeared in the Mazinger Z Vs. The Great General of Darkness OVA. His body was composed from parts that identify him with each of the seven Mikene armies, reptilian, superhuman, aerial, insect, aquatic, mammalian and spectral. His position in the Mikene structure is unclear; whereas The Seven Generals, who are not included in the OVA, had each an army under their command, Juuma is apparently appointed ad hoc by The General of Darkness to take seven beasts of his choice and annihilate Mazinger Z after the destruction of many of his favorite monsters by Koji and his robot. Juuma almost succeeds, but Great Mazinger destroys his robots and finishes him off together with Mazinger Z.
==Mazinger Movie Monsters==
===Gilgilgan===
The primary antagonist of Great Mazinger vs. Getter Robo, Gilgilgan is a tortoise-like bioweapon from outer space used to conquer Japan primarily by living on a diet of nothing but metal and slowly grows larger into two other forms. It possesses an extremely thick hide that prevents most attacks from harming it and for attacks it can fire yellow eye beams and green poison from its mouth that acts like a very strong acid. In his second form Gilgilan adds the ability to move underwater with the powers of his first form still intact. Once it eats its creator Gilgilgan will change into its third form which appears more like a demon where it can fly and its powers include finger lasers, bladed wings that can also fire energy beams, and has three whip-like tails.
Gilgilgan appears in various Super Robot Wars as well as a Banpresto original fourth form called Mecha Gilgilgan based on its third form that serves as the final boss in the first Super Robot Wars game and appears in other titles with the other forms. Mecha Gilgilgan's powers primarily consist of its ultra sharp claws, its wing beams, and very powerful waves of gravity from its body.
===Grangen, Bong, and Pikadron===
There are three alien monsters that serve as the antagonists of Great Mazinger vs. Getter Robo G: Clash in The Sky. They were created by the Mysterious Invaders, the same race that created Gilgilgan in the previous movie. In Go Nagai's Dynamic Heroes the aliens were referred to as the Damdom and were revealed to be the arch enemies of the Vegan Empire from UFO Robo Grendizer.
*Grangen: Capable of flying and is armed with tentacled fingers, a bladed boomerang, and eye beams from its eyes capable of blinding enemy pilots. It is the only organism of the alien trio. It makes an appearance in Super Robot Wars MX.
*Bong: Is armed with military vehicle style weapons on its body including a tank cannon-like flamethrower on the torso, normal sized tank cannons all around the body, a drill for the right arm, eye beams, and has jets for feet. It is the only machine of the alien trio. It also appears in Super Robot Wars MX.
*Pikadron: The main antagonist of the movie and is made entirely out of light waves, making it impossible to kill unless it is solidified and will absorb energy to turn into its super form. Powers include electric balls from the mouth, emitting electricity, extendable tentacle fingers, an electric beam from its mouth, and in its super form it can fire seven electric beams from the chest and horns. Unlike its two cohorts it appears throughout various Super Robot Wars games and in them gains the ability to make clones of itself by being divided and can swim underwater, however it lacks its super form.
===Dragonsaurus===
The main antagonist of Grendizer, Getter Robo G, Great Maznger: Monster of The Ocean Floor, the Dragonsaurus is an ancient reptilian animal that grew to large sizes from the oil it consumes with maximum size being 550 meters and 40,000 tons. Dragonsaurus is armed with seven serpent-like tentacles that can extend very long distances and are used as its primary attack. Dragonsaurus also has extremely potent regeneration that allows it to regrow its seven serpent-like tentacles in a matter of seconds and is strong enough to make it extremely resistant if not immune to electric attacks like Double Spazer's Cyclone Beam and acid attacks like Grendizer's Melt Shower. Dragonsaurus's body also has a high resistance to beams and absorbs projectiles such as missiles through its skin where they fail to detonate. To move on land Dragonsaurus possesses the ability to levitate, but also uses its tentacles to create hurricane force winds.
Dragonsaurus later appears in various Super Robot Wars titles as a boss and in Super Robot Wars Reversal and Super Robot Wars MX is given a powerful sonar attack.
==Saucer Beasts==
Saucer Beasts (enbanjuu) are the first monsters of the week from the anime series UFO Robo Grendizer. For the first fifty two episodes of the series the saucer beasts were the primary vanguard invasion forces until they were replaced by Vega Monsters in episode 52 and onward starting with King Gori.
===History===
For the first twenty seven episodes saucer beasts were under the command of Blaki and occasionally a Vegan mercenary, although a few have artificial intelligence and can function without a pilot. As of episode 28 saucer beasts started to be under the command of Zuril and possessed more non-conventional weapons, making them more efficient than the ones commanded by Blaki. This partly due to a fatal wound Duke received before the series that could kill him at any time caused by the radioactive material Vegatron, making radiation attacks more lethal as it speeds up the process of Vegatron. The majority of saucer beasts can fly primarily by reverting into their saucer forms, some of which have a buzzsaw hidden in them while in this mode.

===UFO Robot Grendizer vs. Great Mazinger===
Three saucer beasts were used in the short film UFO Robot Grendizer vs. Great Mazinger, all of which also appeared in various Super Robot Wars games.
*Jinjin: Powers include a pair of hooks for arms, a tractor beam on its underside, and a 3-tube missile launcher on the chest. Does not possess a buzzsaw in saucer mode.

==Vega Monsters==
Vega Monsters (vegajuu) are the second monsters of the week from the anime series UFO Robo Grendizer. First appearing in episode 52 with King Gori, the vega monsters completely replaced the saucer beasts as the primary antagonists for the series.
===History===
After the destruction of Vega in episode 52, King Vega and what was left of the Vegan Empire made their base on the far side of the moon and forced the construction of large cybernetic monsters based on actual animals with cybernetic components to form the vega monsters. It should be noted that unlike the saucer beasts the vega monsters were actually capable of applying physical damage to Grendizer. All saucer beasts either originate from the far side of the moon or were constructed in an underwater base that lasted from episodes 60 to 67. Like the saucer beasts, the vega monsters were often piloted, sometimes by vegan mercenaries although some were capable of functioning without a pilot.

==Fortresses (Mazinger)==
Throughout the Mazinger saga, the evil enemy forces used several large flying and submarine ships called Fortresses in addition to their monsters to attack Mazinger Z, Great Mazinger, Grendizer, and Mazinkaiser. They were armed with powerful weapons and their primary goal besides direct aggression was to carry the monsters and infantries of both Dr. Hell, The Mikene Empire, and The Vega Empire.
===Submarine Fortress Salude===
*Salude (Kaitei Yousai Salood) was the first fortress built by Dr. Hell that first appeared in episode 1. It was commanded by Baron Ashura. It had a rounded shape, camouflaged with yellow and brown wavy patterns. On the top, there was a fake island, connected to the body of the fortress through and extensible upright supporting beam. The false island functioned as a disguise and could rotate at high speeds to create strong laser guns which could sink ships. In Shin Mazinger, it was shown that the island could be jettisoned (by firing it upward like a missile) in cases of emergency. It featured large hangars to store Mechanical Beasts and usually release them near the coast or launch them underwater or from the top of the dummy island. It was also used to contain smaller submarines Ashura used in battle. It was destroyed by Mazinger in chapter 36. It appears in the Mazinger series and in the Mazinger Z vs. Devilman OVA. In Shin Mazinger, Baron Ashura detonates its nuclear reactor in an attempt to destroy Mazinger.
*In Tranzor Z, the American adaptation of Mazinger Z, Salude is called Barracuda.
===Aerial Fortress Gool===
*When Salude is destroyed is episode 39, Ashura finds himself without a proper vehicle to go into battle. Hell builds the Gool (Hikou Yousai Guuru), a flying fortress that first appears in episode 40, but despite Ashura's pleads to be in charge of it, Hell appoints Ashura's rival, Count Brocken as the commander. Brocken takes pride of his ship and mocks Ashura for not being allowed to guide it. Gool had all kinds of bombs, rays and projectiles, as well as the ability to generate clouds as a disguise. Due to its weapons and large size, it was also capable of bringing down large planes and even Mazinger. The ship had a lizard-like head and the monsters were released through the mouth. Count Brocken and Dr. Hell die on board when Mazinger destroys it in chapter 91. It appears in the Mazinger series and in the Mazinkaiser OVAs.
*Surprisingly, Gool’s name was not changed in Tranzor Z, the American adaptation of Mazinger Z.
===Submarine Fortress Bood===
*Even though Ashura is dismissed as Gool's commander, Hell builds yet another sub-aquatic fortress for him, Bood (Kaitei Yousai Buudo) that first appears in episode 43. It had a more typical submarine shape, with a large face on its upper side that could be erected to open its mouth and release the mecha. Bood had torpedoes and other weapons such as restrainer rings and whirlpools. Bood is destroyed during Ashura's final, desperate attempt to destroy Mazinger. It appears in the Mazinger series and Mazinkaiser OVAs.
*In Tranzor Z, the American adaptation of Mazinger Z, Bood is called Tiger Shark.
===Aerial Fortress Navalon===
*Navalon (Hikou Yousai Nabaron) was featured only in the Mazinger Vs. Devilman short movie. Commanded by both Ashura and Hell through a smaller detachable ship, it had weapons such as a tornado, projectiles and rays. It was winged and bulbous in shape. It was destroyed by Mazinger's breast fire.
===Fortress Mikelos===
*The Multipurpose Fortress Mikelos (Ban-nou Yousai Michelos 万能要塞 ミケロス) was the first fortress that appeared in the Great Mazinger series. It had the shape of a flying saucer with four faces on the edges from where the Warrior Beasts were released into battle. The necks of these heads were extensible and could fire projectiles from the sides. Like all its predecessors, it featured several more weapons. Mikelos was eventually destroyed by Great Mazinger in chapter 39 and succeeded by Demonika.
**Technical data
***Height: 510 meters
***Diameter: 600 meters
***Weight: 200.000 tons
***Maximum speed: mach 2
***Speed on water: 30 knots
====Other appearances====
The Mikelos also appeared in the Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great Emperor of Darkness OVA. It was used by General Birdler to lead his troops in an attack on an aeroplane carrying Kouji Kabuto and Sayaka Yumi back to Japan. The escorting Million Alpha is no match for the Mikene General, but manages to kill him by ramming him into the Mikelos and self-destructing, sending the mighty fortress down in flames. Mikelos also appears quite often in the Super Robot Wars series, normally commanded by Archduke Gorgon or (less frequently) the Great General of Darkness.
===Fortress Demonika===
*Invincible Fortress Demonika (Muteki Yousai Demonica 無敵要塞 デモニカ) was able to operate on water, land and air. It was dubbed as invincible by the Great Marshall of Hell. Like Gool, it had a reptile-like head. It was commanded personally by the Great Marshall, featured all kinds of weapons, and was destroyed by the combined forces of Great Mazinger, Mazinger Z, Venus A and Diana A at the end of the series.
**Technical data
***Length: 630 meters
***Height: 350 meters
***Weight: 325.000 tons
***Maximum speed: mach 1.2
***Water speed: 36 knots
====Other appearances====
Demonika also appeared in the Deathmatch! Mazinkaiser VS the Great Emperor of Darkness OVA, this time under the command of the Great Emperor of Darkness. It appeared towards the end of the OVA when the Emperor attempts to use it to crush Mazinkaiser (and accidentally crushes the unlucky General Draydou). Kouji activates Mazin Power and hurls the ship into the air, then splits it in two using the Kaiser Scrander Boomerang. In this appearance, Demonika sports a modified color scheme compared to that of the TV series.
===Motherburn===
*Motherburn was a large pink battleship that appeared in UFO Robo Grendizer that first appeared in episode 1. Its primary function was to store saucer beasts and minifos. It was under the command of Gandal and Blaki. A smaller green variation created by the Vegan imperial officials called simply Mothership is used by a saucer beast captain named Gorman in episode 7 primarily to store his saucer beast, Gingin.
===Sentou Bokokan===
*Sentou Bokokan was a large battleship that appeared in Grendizer that first appeared in episode 28. Much like the Motherburn before it, its primary function was to store saucer beasts and minifos, later storing vega monsters and midifos starting in episode 52 when King Vega moved what was left of the Vegan Empire to the base on the far side of the Moon. It was under the command of Gandal and Zuril.
===Queen Spazer===
*Queen Spazer was the personal battleship of Zuril that often functioned as a fortress that first appeared in episode 60.
