Mechani-Kong (Showa)

Mechani-Kong's History

Mechani-Kong is the creation of the villainous Dr. Who, a mad scientist bent on world domination and the sworn enemy of King Kong. In The King Kong Show and its tie in media, Mechani-Kong is frequently deployed by Dr. Who to try and destroy Kong or menace his human allies. In King Kong Escapes, Mechani-Kong was instead built by Dr. Who for the purpose of mining the highly-radioactive Element X. When the radiation damaged the machine, Who resorted to kidnapping the real Kong from his home of Mondo Island to force him to dig for the element instead. However, Kong was able to resist the madman's control and escaped Who's Arctic base. Dr. Who repaired Mechani-Kong and sent him to Tokyo to kill Kong in retaliation. After a pitched battle atop the Tokyo Tower, Kong defeated his robot double and sent the machine plummeting to its doom on the streets below.
