Changes: Markalite Cannon

Revision as of 02:34, 22 March 2015

Template:Weapon Infobox The Markalite Cannon is a powerful weapon that somewhat resembles a cross between a Radio Telescope and a satellite used by the Japanese military that first appeared in the 1957 Toho film, The Mysterians. Template:TOC

Weapons

A single Markalite Cannon has caterpillar tracks which grants it limited maneuverability, although they could be transported and dropped by rockets called Markalite GYROs, and a small pair of which were attached to each Cannon to act as retrorockets. The weapons could only function for short periods of time before losing power, and several were lost in the battle against the Mysterians (One was washed away by a flood, and another was taken out by the second Moguera that dug out too close, causing the tower to fall over and crushing the short lived second Moguera), but eventually they were able to destroy the alien's dome base and ultimately help win the battle.

Video Game Appearances

Godzilla: Monster of Monsters

Markalite Cannons appear alongside a host of JSDF weaponry (including the Super X and Gotengo units) in Godzilla: Monster of Monsters. They usually are perched on top of rocks, and fire their beams at Godzilla and Mothra. When they are defeated, they explode.

Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters

Markalite Cannons appear as playable units in Godzilla 2: War of the Monsters, and they attack by firing their beams at the enemy kaiju.

Trivia

The concept of the Markalite cannon was later utilized in the design of the Maser Cannon, which closely resembles the weapon.
