Psy's addendum: I've also heard the Bat refered to as "Ceroptora", but that's not official, even if it sounds cool.


"Monster War - Part 2"

While tracking the Bat, HEAT discovers several of the earlier mutants they fought are alive and well. Also, a Cyber Godzilla, built from the first Godzilla is created with the help of Elsie.
