Godzilla
Godzilla (ゴジラ Gojira) is a mysterious creature similar to King Kong. Apparently, it is big, green, snorts fire, and is lizard-like.
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
Super-spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. had encountered Godzilla before. Alerted to trouble in Oregon by Dum Dum, S.H.I.E.L.D. employee Nicholas Fury threatened to quit if it was "that big green, fire-snortin' lizard" again. Prisoner of War!
Earthforce
When Superion was running amok in upper New York State under the influence of one of Bombshell's cerebro-shells, reporter Irwin Spoon compared him to Godzilla when the Autobots he encountered told him the Aerialbot combiner was actually one of the "good guys".
Prowl had absolutely no idea what Irwin was referring to. Inside Story!

Notes
- Godzilla had his own Marvel Comics series in which he was hunted down by Dum Dum.
- Super-God Masterforce head writer Masumi Kaneda has stated that God Ginrai (ゴッドジンライ) was named so that omitting every other Japanese syllable yields the word Gojira (ゴジラ), the original Japanese name for Godzilla.
- Hojoni ("Kremzeek!") and Humungado ("The Attack of Humungado") are pastiches of Godzilla.
- Tri-Rex's roar sounds identical to Godzilla's.
- Cruellock's alt-mode is based on Godzilla's appearance in the 1998 film.
- Dalung Master's alt-mode is based on Godzilla.
- "The Champ" has Grimlock mimic Godzilla's infamous sliding tail-kick from Godzilla vs. Megalon.
- "The Big Rescue Operation for Santa!" also has Grimlock make a reference to an infamous Godzilla scene, when he flied with his atomic breath in Godzilla vs. Hedorah.
