Mechagodzilla's name comes from the word "Mecha," which is derived from "mechanical," and from another monster, Godzilla (ゴジラ, 'Gojira'?). Officially, this incarnation is called the Mecha by Apex Cybernetics, and it is christened Mechagodzilla by Josh Valentinein the film.
Development
The character's design was inspired by the Terminator franchise. Creature designer and concept artist Jared Krichevsky explained that this meant that the design of Mechagodzilla had to be something similar to Godzilla himself, that as an intelligent animal and hunter, seeing something skeletal akin to himself would have a very unnerving effect. Mecha-King Ghidorah was another source of inspiration for the Mechagodzilla's appearance.The original model of Mechagodzilla had three concealed four-...
Appearance
Mechagodzilla bears a strong resemblance to its namesake. It sports a series of short metal plates resembling Godzilla's dorsal plates (more closely resembling Godzilla's appearance from the 2014 film) running from the back of its neck all the way down to the tip of its tail. Its forelimbs are considerably bulkier and slightly longer than the real Godzilla's with four zygodactyl claws on its hands. Its feet also seem to bear a slight resemblance to Ghidorah's, while still having Godzilla's fr...
Portrayal
Mechagodzilla was portrayed through CGI. The only part that was portrayed in live action was the cockpit in which the pilot controls the mechanical beast. According to Krichevsky, Mechagodzilla was also portrayed via motion capture, although the actor who played him is unknown and not credited.
Mechagodzilla is initially a mindless machine which is completely under the control of Ren Serizawa, who controls Mechagodzilla like an extension of his own body via a psionic interface. However, once Ghidorah's consciousness takes over the machine, Mechagodzilla is able to think and ambulate without any connection to a human pilot, and it immediat...
Mechagodzilla was built in secrecy by Apex Cybernetics under the direction of their CEO Walter Simmons and their chief technology officer Ren Serizawa as a solution to the relatively powerless position humanity was in against the Titans, and more so that Apex could dethrone Godzilla and make themselves the architects of humanity's ascent to dominat...
The first hint of the Mecha was seen in an Apex facility in Florida when Godzilla attacked the base looking for Ghidorah. When Godzilla blasted open the base with his atomic breath he unknowingly revealed a strange metal sphere which was later revealed to be one of Mechagodzilla's eyes. Later in an enclosed Apex facility in Hong Kong, the eye was installed and the completed Mechagodzilla's might was tested against a Skullcrawler known as Number 10, with the mecha's strength and proton scream...

A-74 Proton scream cannon
Mechagodzilla possesses a red energy beam, capable of burning through adult Skullcrawlers, blasting through buildings immediately and knocking down as well as burning Godzilla. This beam also has the power to beam-lock with, and overpower Godzilla's atomic breath, although it should be noted Godzilla was not at full power since he had already used his atomic breath extensively to tunnel to the Hollow Earth and battle Kong. Mechagodzilla could fire another proton scream from its tail similar t...
Dorsal plates
According to Jared Krichevsky, Mechagodzilla's dorsal plates were used to defend any organs and making it harder for a Titan to destroy it.
Drones
In the non-canon PUBG Mobile, this ability is kept though done differently, as his dorsal plates deploy drones out of the mecha rather than the dorsal plates becoming the drones. After detaching from the main body, the drones operate with a hive mind, with Mechagodzilla controlling them. They can shoot with a built-in gun capable of doing lethal harm to humans.
Control panel damage
Damaging the Apex computer which controls Mechagodzilla's satellite uplink results in it seizing up during combat, allowing Kong and Godzilla to gain the upper hand.
Energy depletion
After Mechagodzilla kills an adult Skullcrawler with its proton scream, it shuts down due to a lack of sufficient energy source. This issue, however, is resolved with the energy from the Hollow Earth.
While the base form of Kong's axe didn't possess the power to grievously damage Mechagodzilla, the charged up variation was able to cleave through its armored exterior, which subsequently destroyed its tail and limbs.
