Mecha Kaiju Sensō Tai!!!: Godzilla Pun in 5...4...3...2...1!

For those wondering, Shin Godzilla is such a different beast, I'd totally have to rebuild the character. Also, I haven't seen it.


EDIT: I made some updates to the previous post that resulted in changes to Godzilla's stats.


EDIT: After playtesting some monster battles, I've discovered that 50+ Toughness is way too freakin' high. It becomes almost impossible for the monsters to hurt each other, even with Armor Piercing attacks. I've therefore dropped all the kaijus' armor values and redirected those points.
