Godzilla: The Series

In the wake of Godzilla’s apparent death, Nick convinces H.E.A.T. to stay together to study other mutations around the world. The team travels to Jamaica to investigate attacks on boats and swimmers from what appears to be a giant squid.

Nick is contacted by Cameron Winter, an old college buddy, with an offer of hiring H.E.A.T. Allegedly towards this end, Winter entices Randy to plant an experimental computer-operated device upon Godzilla that, unknown to Randy and the rest of H.E.A.T., is actually for the purpose of controlling Godzilla.

A colony of huge mutant rats appear on the scene, wreaking havoc on the sprawling metropolis at night. Soon, the problem is escalated as Godzilla appears and begins to attack the rats in defense of his territory, thus causing more destruction to the city.

Nick and H.E.A.T. go deep beneath the sea in order to investigate the mysterious disappearance of noted scientist Dr. Alexander Preloran and his own research team, and there H.E.A.T. discovers a hidden spacecraft belonging to a race of advanced, hostile non-humanoid aliens that hope to conquer the Earth with the help of a pet giant monster.

Mexico is under siege from a mutated beast that resembles a gigantic winged lizard, which is named Quetzalcoatl after the mythological Aztec deity whom it also resembles [by coincidence, of course]. H.E.A.T. investigates, and discovers that the flying beast is guarding a nest whose eggs are soon about to hatch, thus creating the threat of numerous such creatures terrorizing the planet.

The aliens finally launch an assault on earth, using a powerful device to render all of earths monsters under thier control, even the original Godzilla returns from the grave, now a partial cyborg, can the present day Godzilla bring himself to attack his ""Mother"", or will he turn against the team?

Tatopoulos finds a way to free the H.E.A.T. team from the telepathic control of the aliens via disrupting the tachyon emissions which the octopoid extraterrestrials use to control minds [actually, tachyons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles, mentioned frequently in sci-fi shows such as the various Star Trek series, which have the unique property of traveling backwards in time, and thus have nothing to do with psychic phenomena, but instead tend to be present in time travel phenomena and chronal anomalies of various sorts; it would have been more realistic to have the aliens utilize technology that generated psions, another very hypothetical particle, which is said to carry psychic energy, and is believed by some parapsychologists to be responsible for various psychic phenomena such as telekinesis, precognition, telepathy, etc., and thus could indeed affect organic brains in such a manner as to control them].

Yet another scientific research team disappears, this time in the South Pole [geez, these research teams are a royal pain in the posterior, but what would sci-fi and horror series and films ever do without them!], and yet again, H.E.A.T. travels there to investigate, suspecting a creature problem again [just think of all the work that H.E.A.T. would miss if not for vanishing research teams!].

On yet another investigation to the Caribbean [the fringe benefits of working for that team are excellent!], H.E.A.T. discovers a nest of huge, mutant spiders, which are controlled by a single spider that is much larger than the rest [this is unusual, since spiders are independent organisms and do not live in hives or colonies as various insects, such as bees and ants do, and are thus not ruled by a ""queen,"" which is a fact that was also ignored by the spider-paranoia flick Arachnophobia]. As Godzilla battles the huge ""master"" spider (possibly inspired by Spiega), danger strikes when Craven utilizes a new (and ludicrous) device designed to enable him to ""communicate"" with Godzilla, which actually has the dangerous (and embarrassing) result of causing Godzilla to retreat, thus leaving the island and the H.E.A.T. team once again at the mercy of the spider infestation.

A strange object descends from outer space, and merges with a childs remote control truck. The object turns out to be a being that can somehow assimilate technological machinery within itself, thereby taking on the attributes of said technology. Hence, the entity becomes progressively larger and more powerful, thus being labeled the Juggernaut [not to be confused with Cain Marko!].

While Craven is laid up sick back at H.E.A.T. headquarters, Nick, Randy, Elsie and Monique assist Godzilla in a battle with a Mutant Jellyfish. The Heat-Seeker is engulfed by a mysterious storm which propels the team into a bleak, post-apocalyptic future where Godzilla is dead and the world is dominated by genetically engineered, 5-legged mutations known as Dragmas.

In Miami, Godzilla, H.E.A.T., and Major Hicks battle Skeetera, a mutated bloodsucking mosquito-like insect who adapts the powers of the creatures she feeds on. As they attempt to contain the creature they are interrupted by the mutation rights fringe group known as S.C.A.L.E. (Servants of Creatures Arriving Late to Earth).

A traveling carnival arrives at Madison Square Garden, and its run by a crooked ringmaster known as Theodore P. Bunkum, who specializes in putting various captured mutations on display for public amusement. Bunkum places a hefty bounty on Godzilla, determined to add this most famous mutation to his carnival side show, and this incites H.E.A.T. to attend one of his shows, where they are quickly appalled by his treatment of the various mutations featured in it.

A new and deadly mutation, a plant-like creature known as Bacillus (who may have been inspired by Biollante), appears and begins wreaking havoc, prompting H.E.A.T. to call upon Godzilla. During the battle, Godzilla is seriously injured and rendered catatonic as the result of being injected with a highly dangerous form of mutated bacteria by Bacillus. In order to save their kaiju ally, Tatopoulos and Monique travel within Godzillas body in order to carefully exterminate all of the mutant bacterium. Now fully healed, Godzilla attacks Bacillus anew, and eradicates the creature with his incendiary breath.

H.E.A.T. investigates a gigantic caterpillar-like mutation known as the Megapede, who is rampaging through the neighbor states of Illinois and Indiana. Godzilla is called upon to render assistance, but the Megapede sprays a form of poisonous foam, and also has poison producing spurs along its many legs, both of which serve to keep the Kaiju King at bay. The mega-insect finally climbs atop a building, forms a cocoon, and transforms into a huge winged insectoid creature with the habit of disrupting radar frequencies by rubbing its wings together, thus wreaking much havoc. H.E.A.T. concocts a poison neutralizing foam, which it spreads on the kaijus wings, allowing Godzilla to attack and defeat the creature more easily.

H.E.A.T. tackles a gigantic mutant shrew-like creature, which has somehow merged itself with an artificially generated, experimental tornado, enabling it to transform itself into a living vortex at will (Elsie wittily dubs the whirling beast The Shrewster). In order to maintain its ultra-fast, whirlwind powers, the Shrewster is forced to rapidly consume three times its body weight per day, thus causing it to greedily devour every organic food source in its path, effectively making it an extremely dangerous menace. Because of its ability to transform itself into an organic tornado, Godzilla is unable to get at the beast, and Tatopoulos ends up trapped in the Shrewsters vortex. However, soon after becoming trapped, he activates a device that Craven crafted, which was designed to dissipate the vortexs cyclonic forces, and this succeeds.

Both H.E.A.T. and Major Hicks learn that an old comrade of the Major named Colonel Charles Thompson has been overseeing black ops military funded scientific experiments designed to create enormous, genetically altered scorpions for use as bio-weapons, in a multi-level program referred to as the First Wave. The largest scorpion produced by this experiment, however, breaks loose from the militarys control, forcing H.E.A.T. to send Godzilla after the arachnoid beast. However, Godzilla is given supreme opposition, not only from the beasts lethal stinger, but also from its ability to spray poison at a distance from that aforementioned stinger. Finally, H.E.A.T. works together to discover a way to cause the more easily-controlled smaller scorpions to attack the larger one, after which Godzilla annhiliates the entirety of the First Wave with his incendiary breath. Despite the chewing out that Col. Thompson receives from Major Hicks, the former nevertheless orders the Second Wave of th

Another new and dangerous mutant species appears on the scene, this time in the form of gigantic hummingbirds that attack planes flying over San Francisco. Worst of all, this mutant avian species is able to render themselves invisible via the hummingbird trait of flapping their wings faster than any other bird species in the world. As a result of their ability to cloak themselves so as to be invisible to the unaided eye, Godzilla is unable to see the creatures in order to attack them.

As a result of an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploding, a mutant seemingly composed of living fire emerges. As this creature goes on a rampage in the area looking for more combustible substances upon which to feed, H.E.A.T and Godzilla intervene. However, the creature grows larger and more powerful as a result of absorbing and feeding off of Godzillas powerful incendiary breath.

Off the New Jersey coast, H.E.A.T. encounters the Deep-Dweller, a giant frogfish that has wandered into shallow waters.
