Mazinger Z is the titular robot of the Mazinger Z franchise and is a Super Robot seen regularly in The Knights of the Multiverse. It is piloted mainly by Koji Kabuto, but in Season 3, he turned the keys over to his youngest daughter Mohm in the hopes that she could make better use of it.
History[]

Accessories[]
Hover Pilder[]
A small hovercraft that inserts into Mazinger's head. Once attached, its control systems connect to the Super Robot itself and allows it to move about.
Scrander[]
A jetpack with wide, red wings that latches onto Mazinger's stomach.
Abilities[]
- Rocket Punch
Mazinger fires one of its forearms and rockets it forward, with it either "bouncing" off its target while leaving a good amount of damage to their armor or literally punch through them completely.
- Iron Cutter
- Two axe-like blades pop out from both sides of both of Mazinger's forearms. When fired, they're able to cut through nearly any surface.
- Drill Missile
- Numerous small missiles fire from the ports behind Mazinger's forearms.
- Giant Swing Rocket Punch
- Mazinger spins its arms rapidly to build up momentum before firing off both fists in standard Rocket Punch fashion.
- Rust Hurricane
A gust of wind shoots from the grill on Mazinger's face and disintegrates the opponent in a bluish-green mist. At full burst, the opponent with disintegrate in mere seconds.
- Photon Beam
Two energy beams that fire from Mazinger's eyes. There is a switch inside the cockpit that allows Koji (or whoever is piloting) to adjust the beam's output frequency. On the lowest setting, it can act as an ultraviolet light. On its standard setting, it fires as a normal laser beam. But cranked all the way to its highest setting, it releases an enormous beam that's strong enough to pierce through almost any surface and even reach the atmosphere.
- Breast Fire
Mazinger converts its Photon Energy into heat and releases it from the twin panels on its chest, with it melting/vaporizing its opponent.
Combo Attacks[]
- Double Burning Fire
Combo attack w/ Great Mazinger: Z and Great fire their Breast Fire and Breast Burn at an opponent.
- Fire Storm
Combo attack w/ Kotetsu Jeeg: Z's Breast Fire and Jeeg's Spin Storm combine to create an enormous black, white and red fiery tornado that swallows their target whole.
- Final Dynamic Special
Combo attack w/ Getter Robo G, Jeeg, Daimos, Daitarn 3 & Raideen (also occasionally Govarian and Great Mazinger): Daimos kicks it off by sending their enemy into the air with a Fire Blizzard. When it's fully ascended into the air, Mazinger and Jeeg hammer it with their Breast Fire and Spin Storm. Dragon comes in for the final blow with a Shine Spark. When Daitarn 3 & Raideen join later on, the two assist in the finishing blow by having Daitarn hold the opponent in place with a Sun Attack right after being lifted into the air by the Double Blizzard. Then, Raideen fires a God Arrow, which pierces the opponent's chest and acts like a honing rod for the Shine Spark. Other ARC Super Robots Govarian and Great Mazinger can also join in on the attack, with Govarian joining with Mazinger Z to create a Double Burning Fire, and Great energizes Raideen's arrow with a Thunder Break, causing even more damage.
Notes[]
To match up closer to the other mechs featured in the series, Mazinger's height has scaled up to 24 meters/78 feet as it was in Mazinger Z Impact.
In a strange twist, the Iron Cutter is rarely used as a varient for the normal Rocket Punch. Rather, in KotM, it's used more as a bladed/melee weapon, much like how it was used in the sequence in the Mazinger Z: Infinity movie when its fighting against the Kikaiju.
