Summary
Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira), is a giant monster that first appeared in the 1998 TriStar Pictures film GODZILLA.
After the end of the Heisei Era of Godzilla movie series, the right to Godzilla was given to TriStar Pictures, who created their own version of a Godzilla movie, named Godzilla, in 1998. In this continuity, "Godzilla" is a mutated marine iguana, the result of nuclear testing in the Maruroa Atoll Islands of French Polynesia in 1968.
It is the first incarnation of Godzilla to appear in an American-made film and the fourth onscreen incarnation of the character overall. The TriStar Godzilla is very different from previous incarnations of the character, being a mutated iguana rather than a prehistoric creature. His appearance is more reminiscent of modern reconstructions of theropod dinosaurs, and he lacks some of Godzilla's most well-known traits, such as atomic breath and immunity to conventional weaponry. Instead, this Godzilla relies on his speed and animalistic cunning to evade attackers and ambush them rather than fight them head-on. This Godzilla was ultimately killed at the end of his debut film, but one of his asexually-produced offspring survived and grew into the next Godzilla in Godzilla: The Series, an animated sequel to the 1998 film. This Godzilla's carcass was eventually salvaged by the Leviathan Aliens and converted into a cyborg dubbed Cyber Godzilla as part of the aliens' plan to use monsters to overtake the Earth.
Cyber-Godzilla (サイバージラ Saibājira) is the original Godzilla that nested in New York in 1998. The aliens from the Leviathan spaceship resurrected it using both alien and human technology. It is completely under the alien's control, although it does recognize Godzilla Junior as its son.
After Godzilla's death, his body was taken to a military base where it was studied. The base was eventually overtaken by Tachyons, who used their technology to resurrect him. He was then sent to eliminate H.E.A.T. who had snuck into the facility and when Godzilla Junior arrived to save them, he refused to fight his father and was taken under control of the Tachyons. The father and son team gave chase but were distracted by N.I.G.E.L. which allowed H.E.A.T. to escape. Cyber-Zilla and the other Mutations under Tachyon control were then sent out to various cities to destroy them. Cyber-Zilla was chosen for Tokyo.
The other Mutations were saved from the control of the Tachyons, but Cyber-Godzilla remained loyal. He soon confronted his son, who decided to fight for H.E.A.T. rather that Godzilla. The two began to fight, and Cyber-Godzilla lost his robotic arm before Godzilla Junior drove him into the water and ripped his inner mechanisms apart, killing him again.TriStar's Godzilla became particularly controversial among the fanbase due to his departure from previous versions of the character, and Toho themselves responded to this controversy in the film Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack in the form of dialogue mentioning a monster similar to Godzilla recently attacking New York City, though Japanese experts doubt it is Godzilla. When TriStar's rights to the character expired in 2003, Toho assumed ownership of the TriStar Godzilla and reintroduced it as a new character called "Zilla" in the film Godzilla: Final Wars, who has itself since been featured in other Godzilla media licensed by Toho.
