Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Should Heroes Fail..." Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...inside Dr Demonicus' satellite (in geo-stationary orbit over the Dark Side of the Moon), our trio of pilots inside their giant robos are about to be squished by an even bigger robot hand!

(Only in comic books would the previous statement actually make sense!)

The "Red Ronin" that Gabe Jones mentions was a similar giant robo created for Marvel's Godzilla comic series by (surprise) Doug Moench & Herb Trimpe!

Since it was exclusive to Marvel, Red Ronin would re-appear in other Marvel Universe stories, referencing how it fought an unnamed "giant green lizard"!

Sadly, he never encountered the Shogun Warriors!

But what if those extraterrestrials weren't benevolent?

When Last We Left Our Gleaming Gulliver...

...our narrator will kindly (and conveniently) fill us in on the previous goings-on...

To Be Concluded Next Monday!

You'll note they didn't mention S.H.I.E.L.D. or Godzilla (whom Dr Demonicus previously fought) by name in Marvel's Godzilla #4-5 (1977)!
While I understand them not being able to identify Godzilla by name (due to the expiration of the licence from Toho Studios), S.H.I.E.L.D. (which is owned by Marvel) shouldn't be a problem, especially since (SPOILER) the agency shows up next issue!
Written and illustrated by the classic crew of Doug Moench, Herb Trimpe, and Mike Esposito.

Monday Mecha Madness SHOGUN WARRIORS "Moon Menace!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

Art by Walt Simonson

...having driven off three creatures spawned by meteors, the Shogun Warriors now face the prospect of a gigantic meteor about to strike the Earth!

Coincidence?

I don't think so...

"Doctor Demonicus"?

Yes!

Before doing Shogun Warriors, writer Doug Moench and artst Herb Trimpe handled the creative chores on Marvel's previous adaptation of a Japanese media property...Godzilla: King of the Monsters!
(Sadly, the Goszilla comic ented just after Shogun Warriors began, preventing a kool crossover storyline!)
Dr Demonicus first appeared there, in issues 4 & 5 (1977), though not illustrated by Trimpe, but by guest-artist Tom Sutton, who filled-in for those two issues!

As for exactly who the demented doctor is...

Wow, the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe was really handy, eh?

The Shogun Warriors (and Doctor Demonicus) will return in September!
