Ah, yes, that's right.

Personally, I really like Gamera's roar. It sounds very animalistic and ominous.

Gabara, definitely. It's really quite annoying. Also, I like Titanosaurus' roar, I had no idea people didn't...
I'm back? I guess. Haven't posted here in a loooooong time.

Varan, Baragon, and Gorosaurus had identical roars, and I cannot tell them apart at all. This is just a pet peeve. I'm not saying I dislike it, but it does get on my nerves.

on a side note, my 5 year old daughter and i watched the 92 GvsM the other day. neither of us had ever seen it before. when battra showed up and started making sounds, my little one looked at me with shock and said, "dad, why does that thing sound like rodan???"

i felt very proud about that.

^ You should. That's an awesome kid, right there. Wish my little brother and sister (four and six years old) would show that much interest. The only kaiju-related thing I've gotten them to care about is Godzilla: Save The Earth, and all they do with that is argue over which monsters to play as, then never actually play. :(

I'm not trying to derail the thread, but they seemed to get a bit lazy with some of the sound effects in the Heisei series. King Ghidorah and Mecha-King Ghidorah have modified Rodan roars as well.

Gorosaurus does have a slightly different roar. It's a little more high pitched. Its not much of a difference, but it's there.

Varan and Baragon's roars were identical, so that is understandable(thankfully Baragon was give his own unique roar later on in GMK). But sorry, I just don't understand at all those who say that can't tell Gorosaurus' roar from Varan/Baragon...to me, it's very distinctive and easily recognizable (especially in KKE). Of course, these roars are definitely similar, but I have no problem whatsoever distinguishing Gorosaurus from Varan/Baragon's cry. I think people get confused from Gorosaurus' appearance in DAM in Paris where he actually did use Baragon's roar because he was a last minute substitute. Speaking of which, I always found this "last minute substitute" as a lame excuse for all the Gorosaurus/Baragon nonsense in that film (you'd think they would have noticed in post-production/editing that "Duh...gee, this isn't Baragon in these scenes!" :idea: :!: :roll: ) One of the all time most baffling goofs/blunders of the entire series...

MKG although its a modified roar of our beloved Rodan. It sounds "robotic" so i dont see that as big of a deal.
With KG its the same deal, yeah its a copy of the roar and stuff but it sounds evil and i like it.

With Battra...hell no...at one point of the movie, when changed from Larval to Imago he made a "new" roar
(if i remember correctly) that should be his main roar and not the one he has.

I assumed that new sound was not a roar, but merely a sound emitted by the transformation process. It didn't sound very good for a vocal, anyway.

I might get some flak for this, but I think Varan's roar sounds better on Baragon. Just like King Kong's sounds better with King Seesar.

Worst roar? Minya.

Battra's roar. When I first watched Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle for Earth back in late '98 and first saw Battra in the ice and he roared, my reaction was like "Wait a minute, is that Rodan's roar I hear?" I had to rewind that shot and yep no mistaking that was Rodan's roar from Battra's mouth. At least Heisei Ghidorah's roar was sped up and sounded different somewhat
