Thankfully, H.E.A.T. managed to destroy the Tachyons' transmission towers and free the monsters from their mind-control. Coming to its senses, the Giant Bat determined that the Tachyons were its enemy and flew to Site Omega to help Godzilla defeat Cyber-Godzilla. King Cobra, meanwhile, was one of the few monsters that was later captured and taken back to Site Omega when it was turned into Monster Island.

However, the EDF later revealed that the Xiliens actually planned to conquer the planet and enslave humanity.

Baragon in the Comic

Barago attacks Paris in Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #6

In issue #6 of Godzilla: Rulers of Earth, [[Baragon (IDW continuity)|Baragon burrowed up from underground in Paris and destroyed the Arc de Triomphe. The Counter-Kaiju Reaction Forces deployed Kiryu to stop the beast. After a fierce battle, Kiryu restrained Baragon and flew him to a containment facility on the Monster Islands.

Trivia[]

  • Originally, Baragon was meant to attack Paris in Destroy All Monsters instead of Gorosaurus. However, Baragon's suit had already been used as the monster Pagos in Ultra Q and as Neronga, Gabora and Magular in Ultraman, and was in such worn condition by the time of filming that it could not be used extensively in the film. So, Gorosaurus "borrowed" Baragon's role in the film, while Baragon made a brief cameo appearance later in the film.
