MechaJURAS (メカジュラス Mekajurasu) a mechanical dopelganger of Pipijuras that appears in the 2022 video game, GigaBash. MechaJURAS was constructed by the G.T.D.I. alongside Pipijuras's alterations, created to defend against and even kill attacking Titans. Though present in Gigabash since the game's release, MechaJURAS was an unplayable Titan that served as a boss and a stage hazard in Area 51, until the free MechaJURAS DLC on May 29, 2025.
Name
MechaJURAS' name is a portmanteau of "mecha" and "juras," the latter of which is taken from Pipijuras' name.
Description
TBA
Development
According to one of GigaBash's developers, MechaJURAS' tank treads and limited moves,[1] combined with Passion Republic's focus on bug fixes, prevented the team from making MechaJURAS playable for years.[2]
Design
MechaJURAS' body resembles that of Pipijuras, especially its torso, head, and stalks, which are almost identical to those of its living counterpart. MechaJURAS is composed of grey metal, though thicker green metal covers its body like armor around its chest, head, and lower body. MechaJURAS lacks legs, instead moving via tank treads. Instead of Pipijuras' Quad-Claws, MechaJURAS' left arm ends in a large, three-clawed Grapple Claw, while its right arm bears a Rocket Drill. Lights tip its stalks and line the mecha's body in areas corresponding to Pipijuras, while MechaJURAS' lower body has headlights. In its S-Class form, MechaJURAS massively grows in size and is encased in much thicker armor that is lined with glowing segments and rectangular extrusions.

Project P.P.J.U.R.A.S
Pipijuras attacked its Area 51 home base after inadvertently being freed from the G.T.D.I.'s control by Gorogong, searching for the beacon for its ship. The G.T.D.I. launched its human-built doppelganger MechaJURAS to fend off the rogue alien. The two fought, and Pipijuras eventually knocked MechaJURAS through the research lab, destroying its walls and exposing the beacon. Pipijuras noticed the beacon, but before it could seize it MechaJURAS rolled back upright and reengaged Pipijuras, only to be defeated again, its systems going critical and exploding afterwards. Thundatross then arrived to stop Pipijuras, but the alien used parts of its mechanical imitation as improvised weapons against the mecha and escaped.
Woolley's Misadventures
The G.T.D.I. noticed Woolley's presence in Pelekana Port after the Yeti Titan defeated Gorogong, who had been menacing the region. The G.T.D.I. attacked Woolley with MechaJURAS and an onslaught of fighter jets, which the Yeti also defeated, earning the attention of the local Yeti subspecies population, who celebrated the newfound peace due to the lack of military force.
Abilities
Grapple Claw
MechaJURAS' left arm bears the Grapple Claw, which MechaJURAS can launch from itself and can charge to increase its range. It can also use the Grapple Claw to snap at and grab other Titans at close range. Similarly to its organic counterpart, MechaJURAS can create a shield of Giga Energy to block and deflect attacks, formed by raising and spinning its Grapple Claw.
Rocket Drill
MechaJURAS is equipped with the Rocket Drill on its right arm, which it can use to pierce opponents with thrusting jabs or fire as a projectile which returns to MechaJURAS after a certain distance. It can be charged to travel farther and deal more damage. MechaJURAS' ultimate involves firing the Rocket Drill into space, where it comes back down enlarged and bores into everything below it.
Mobility
MechaJURAS can move with bursts of extreme speed due to its tank treads and thrusters, which allows it to preform a powerful rush attack.
Laser
MechaJURAS can fire a thin yellow laser from its central eye stalk.
Weaknesses
MechaJURAS can be damaged and stunned by its own Rocket Drill if it's reflected back at it. MechaJURAS is powered by an onboard battery, giving it much more limited power than that of the Gigatron Reactor which powers fellow G.T.D.I. mecha Thundatross.
