==Meta-commentary==
In the story of the video game, ''[[Ninja Gladiator]]'', Hojoni was one of the [[Inhumanoid]]s released by [[Big Boss]] and among the enemies that the gathered [[Ninja Gladiators]] had to defeat. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}
Hojoni is clearly a fictionalized version of the famous movie monster Godzilla. Godzilla may actually exist in at least one version of Transformers continuity: in the [[Generation 1 (Marvel comic)|Marvel comic]] the character [[Nicholas]] refers to a [[That big green, fire-snortin' lizard|big green, fire-snortin' lizard]]. Nicholas himself is a version of Nick Fury, a character from the main (non-Transformers) Marvel comics universe, which does in fact feature a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Godzilla">Godzilla</a>.
The Generation 1 comic and cartoon are very close, with many common features, so it's vaguely possible that Godzilla exists in the toonverse and that the movie "Hojoni" was inspired by his rampages. Alternatively, perhaps the movie was inspired by real events within the cartoon universe, and Nicholas was actually referring to a comic-continuity version of Hojoni. Or maybe they have nothing to do with each other at all.
==Notes==
* Hojoni is a parody of the famous movie monster, [[Godzilla]].
