With Godzilla 2000 out of the way we can move on to Orga. I have a soft spot for Orga, the big guy is just so unique and with a little more fore thought he could have been a classic. Like all Godzilla mutations before him, Orga has elements of the Big G in him but for the most part he's practically his own monster as on the surface he looks nothing like Godzilla at all. The major theme with Orga is alien, genetic mutation. Specifically with Godzilla cells. The thing is, Orga has barely any elements of Godzilla or the Millenium alien he was originally. That said, he has a pretty solid if rather bland design. The movie he starred in was okay but as the Shinsei series went on it gradually got worse so you could say that Orga is the best of a bad bunch. I've looked around and here are some various versions of our brutish, mutant freak.

Orga Shinsei: The original Orga that starred in the movie and was the basis for his game model, the Shinsei had a lot of potential and only achieved about half of it. He has gigantic hands that can toss other monsters around like rag dolls. His defense is at the same level as Godzilla's as his body regenerates at an extremely fast rate. He has a freaking force cannon in his shoulder that can blast you clear across a city and the ability to absorb your DNA and use it to strengthen and modify himself. He's a tad slow in some areas and terrorifyingly cunning in others. Inevitably it was his own envy and greed that killed him, as Godzilla used the moment he was getting absorbed to blow Orga to kingdom come. The suit wasn't doing him any favors though, those powerful arms just kinda hung there and he barely moved at all because he was so damn clunky. Some people think that his arms actually too big to use effectively as weapon. His color scheme is rather bland, he's practically all grey with warped skin. Generally its not the look of Orga thats the problem, its his posture. That hunched, upright posture on tiny legs doesn't give a lot of opportunity to use those arms of his since he's use them mostly to counter balance himself. Shinsei is a decent design but there is lots of room for innovation an improvement.

Orga Neo: Being a Godzilla monster, Orga eventually got included in KaijuSamurai's Neo series. Here we have a fairly dynamic Orga. The mutation theme has been kicked into over drive and his not so boring looking now. This Orga has a blue to grey color scheme that sits well with most and the shoulder cannon has been redesigned nicely. The major differences here are the arms, legs and tail. First, he has only one huge arm, the other one is comparably normal. His legs are bigger and stronger as well as warped looking. To be blunt he has no tail, just some split nub. For the most part , this is a successful redesign though it does have its short comings. This Orga has lost its overall balance with just one large claw over two large claws. The loss of the tail also detracts from his ability to stay upright and stable as he is still very top heavy. The glowing eyes create a rather demonic or mindless expression when Orga's eyes were just as expressive and intelligent as Godzilla's.

Concept Orga Shinsei: This little gem was what Orga could have been. This Orga has a very alien vibe with its multiple eyes, split jaws, and odd sphere like growths on its body. It still has that hunched posture but it uses its massive arms to support itself like a gorilla of sorts. It has solid, tapering neck that has Godzilla-esque spines running up it and down his back. The tail is interesting as it has elements of the Millenian's tentacles. I think the suit makers took this design and dumbed it down because there were too many bells and whistles on it for their time and effort. Shame really. The only thing thats odd is the aqua green color scheme, its a little too alien and just comes out of nowhere.

Tyrantis Orga: TyrantisTerror has done a version of Orga as well. This one is very much focused on the Godzilla aspect. Its flesh is reptilian and it has large spines jutting down its back. It has the powerfully arms but these are far more robust than any of the other versions, I see muscle definition. Its neck is long and thick as he's perserved the snake quality of the head. The tail is present and just as thick and reptilian as the rest of him though its rather short. The shelled carapace is absent but the shoulder cannon is still there. He has a very toothy maw and he looks suitably mutated yet also very stable and powerful. This Orga is a light tannish green with baleful red eyes. I miss the amber but this is a nice alternative.

Four versions, four different ways to handle the same monster. As per usual I will design the Hybrid Orga with the best qualities of each one. You guys can help me figure out what those qualites are. So feed back, advice and your own critique on the versions is welcome and appreciated.
