Human engineered [[mecha]]s built to protect humanity from other monsters, the Vortaak, and the crystals. The GDF will ally themselves with monsters who fight the Aliens' monsters and the mutants, and minimize destruction of human structures. Due to their autonomous minds, GDF mechas can fall victim to and become corrupted by the crystals' energy.

==''Double Smash''==

 

Critical reaction to ''Double Smash'' was largely negative. ''IGN'' gave the game a score of 3 out of 10, saying: "None of the recent Godzilla games have been very good, but at least they were fun. ''Godzilla Unleashed: Double Smash'' cannot make this claim. It looks terrible, and reduces the King of the Monsters to a mush of no-texture polygons, then puts him in a tedious series of punching planes and kicking boats."<ref name="IGNDS"/> ''GameSpot'' gave ''Double Smash'' a 2 out of 10, calling it "one of the worst DS games ever made," adding: "With a perfect storm of terrible game design, bad play mechanics, and uninspired destruction, this game does what oxidation bombs, volcanoes, and [[Matthew Broderick]] couldn't: It kills Godzilla."<ref name="gspotds"/> ''GameSpy'' gave the game a 1 out of 5, saying: "This brain-dead combat is perhaps the worst part of ''Double Smash''. Slowly plodding through the stale levels, fighting the same enemies, and using the same techniques to win grows old almost immediately."<ref name="gspyds"/>
