"The tragedy of the Mysterians is a good example for us! Don't use science in the wrong way!"

Next up are the Mysterians and Mogera from the 1957 movie, The Mysterians! This was one of the requested movies, and it's funny as I actually have a very old redesign of Moguera as it became known in the Godzilla series. That being said, having never seen the Mysterians, I kinda always viewed Mogera in a different way and that's the angle I approached this design with. The multiple drills always gave me the vibe of a drilling machine rather than a weapon of war, meaning I decided to adapt Mogera into more of an industrial machine that was later retrofitted with weaponry to help subdue lesser races. It keeps the laser eyes and such, but has now been equipped with two large railguns to up the threat factor and give it much longer range options. Notably, it can transform its body around to move all its drills to the bottom to become a massive drilling rig to really fit into its new role. Also please ignore the feet, they never came together the way I wanted and it devolved into a mess I'd rather pretend never happened lol

The Mysterians then followed suit. If they were now more focused on digging and mining, then I would redesign them in a way that fit that vision. To that end, I decided to make them look more like mole people, with a little alien twist in that their nose is actually their eye! I thought this gave them a fun, sort-of Tokusatsu feel! Due to all this change, I also opted to change why they came to Earth in the first place. Rather than coming here to breed, the Mysterians are strip miners, using their Mogera and other machines to drill into the core of planets and harvest rare metals and energies within. While they seem amicable and reasonable at first, they are fully aware that this process will result in the destruction of the planet. When pushed, they will unleash their Mogera and their soldiers to pacify any resistance, revealing their true nature.
