Answer: Kiryu (MechaGodzilla 3)

Interesting Information:
Kiryu is built with the original Godzilla's bones, and is powered by Godzilla's DNA.

This is found in "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla" when the smartest Japanese minds formed together in a conference room talking about creating a robot using the bones of Godzilla with the skeleton in the background.

Kiryu was created by the Japanese army to protect Japan from Godzilla. A side effect of using the bones of Godzilla is that when Godzilla roared, the DNA in Kiryu would cause it to be able to control itself. In essence, Kiryu would become a sentient being that could not be controlled by humans, and it destroyed Japan until its power ran out. Difficulty: Hard.
