Let people call the designs what they want to.
It was just a kind of joke about how absurd that name is.

Oh, my apologies. It certainly is a mouthful.

MothMothra. The pinnacle of Japanese Godzilla kaiju nicknaming :lol:

I'm convinced most people outside of Japan don't really use them. The Japanese nicknames are (mostly) convenient when discussing the various Godzilla suits, not so much when discussing other kaiju though.

I’d completely revamp Heisei Mothra to be more like the GMK Mothra. Longer legs like a Muto, same with Battra, making them more able to outmaneuver Godzilla.

Heisei Mechagodzilla I’d make more angular and contrasting to Godzilla. Make him nimble, with elements of the Anime design.

I’d give Biollante more prominent dorsal plates.

Showa Varan
I would play up both the the god and triphibian aspects of Varan. His underside, throat, and inner limbs would have a golden brown rough, rock or soillike texture, his dorsal sides and wing membranes would be white and have a fuzzy, almost cloudlike texture thanks to fuzzy filaments, while his back is blue and covered in saggy skin that ripples like water. Oh, and the spines are more reduced here.

This actually sounds pretty cool.
