Considering that the Jaegers had trouble with most of the Pacific Rim Kaiju, lets have a mental exercise and think how a mech the likes of the second Mecha-Godzilla would fair. The second Mecha-Godzilla was built to combat Godzilla and any other Kaiju from the Heisei Godzilla universe. As a mental exercise we will assume that Mecha-Godzilla has not fought against Godzilla and/or Rodan yet and is brand new out of the factory. The Trespasser appears and attacks San Francisco. The U.S. Military is fighting a losing battle and the U.N calls the G-Force is called to defend the city and destroy the monster. Using this as an opportunity to test out their latest anti-Godzilla weapon, Mecha-Godzilla is dispatched. For the sake of this mental exercise we will assume Mecha-Godzilla had enough power and fuel to reach San Francisco while the U.S. Military held off the monster. Trespasser is 93 meters high and weighs 2700 tons, while Mecha-Godzilla is 120 meters high and weighs 150,000 tons. Since in the film Trespasser was killed by the military using three nuclear missiles we and Mecha-Godzilla was built to fight Godzilla, being bigger, stronger and able to withstand a Nuclear blast from Godzilla along with the breachers general weakness against energy blasts,  one would assume Trespasser is quickly dispatched. Six months later, when Hundun attacks Manila, instead of a tactical Nuclear strike, Mecha-Godzilla is dispatched again and takes care of the problem. Impressed by the result, the U.N. decides to further fund the construction of other anti-Kaiju weapons, instead of Jaegers more Mecha-Godzillas. However since many components would be difficult to replicate due to them coming from Mecha-Ghidorah and expensive to build. In the scenario of a film this can be overlooked since it's fiction, in a real life scenario these factors would limit the production to maybe a dozen at best and of course each country would try to put their own unique spin and additions on the design. As more Dangerous Kaiju appear from the breach, a Mecha-Godzilla would be dispatched. This brings up one design flaw with the second Mecha-Godzilla, it's weak hand to hand combat abilities. If any monster can get within Melee range this design of Mecha-Godzilla would be helpless. This is shown in the movie "Godzilla vs. Mecha-Godzilla2" when it lost an eye to Rodan when it manage to get in close and proved no match for Godzilla when he got close enough. To combat this problem, the design would need to be adjusted to allow for greater close range combat on some versions. In a final battle against Slattern, Mecha-Godzilla would need to stay out of Slattern's range. Although still lighter than Mecha-Godzilla, Slattern would have the height difference being about 182 meters with three large tail spikes. If we add in Garuda and its ability to combine with Mecha-Godzilla or if we have Multiple Mecha-Godzillas deployed, victory would seem to be almost a forgone conclusion. Based on what is shown in the respective films, the second Mecha-Godzilla model would likely triumph over most if not all antiverse Kaiju.This is the one Mecha or Kaiju that actually killed Godzilla briefly and fatally wounded Rodan. While the Jaegers are formidable in their own right, they are outclassed by Mecha-Godzilla 2 in most areas save close range combat. I hope you enjoyed this thought experiment and I hope to hear from the rest of you what you think about this subject.
