“An awestruck silence fell over the crowd, followed by a rumble of fearful recognition from the thousands of gunters present. They all recognized this giant metal behemoth. And they all knew it was nearly indestructible.'' 

— Wade Watts as Nolan Sorrento unleashes Mechagodzilla (Ready Player One Novel, 2011)

This Mechagodzilla appears in the 2011 novel Ready Player One and its 2018 film adaptation of the same name. Rather than a real machine, it exists as a powerful magical artifact in a virtual-reality game called the OASIS, piloted by the leader of Innovative Online Industries, Nolan Sorrento.
