M.U.T.O Create MUTOs in hopes that they will destroy Godzilla - One point of speculation.

In between posting news and reading everyone's ideas here, I've had a few of my own ideas floating about in my mind which I'd like to share. Granted, I'm sure I'm not the only one to have these ideas, as it's a pretty solid speculation to roll with. Let me know what you think, if you agree, or if you have alternative ideas regarding my theory by replying below!
Okay, so my focus for this one (of many) theories, involves what the M.U.T.O organization is, and what the MUTO monsters are. Remember, the MUTO monsters are being marketed as MUTOs, not M.U.T.O. M.U.T.O is the organization.
My theory is this:
Godzilla was awoken in 1954, as per mentioned in the trailer. He was not created, he was specifically woken up. This could have been brought on my nuclear testing, OR it was just that time again for Nature to reset itself. I like to think back to Prometheus - sometimes in order to create, one must first destroy. Godzilla has always been the embodyment of nature's wrath, and could very well symbolize the recreation of planet Earth - eradicating all existing life for new life to form.
Watanabe (Serizawa) even states that "The arrogance of man... is thinking nature is in our control... and not the other way around." - insinuating that yeah, Nature is about to kick our ass and its going to use Godzilla to do so.
So, Godzilla wakes up, he's been asleep for eons, perhaps in a hidden, underground pocket. In an attempt to kill him before he reaches civilization, the military throw nukes at him and they think they kill him. Godzilla (who was not created by the atom bomb) gets rocked by the bombs and knocks him out essentially.
15 years go by, Godzilla has mutated, grown an immunity to atomic radiation, his body now infected with the atomic energy has transformed and turned a once dangerous animal into a world destroying machine.
This is the part that I'm unsure about - something wakes him up. Whether it be that his coma has subsided and his body has completed adapting to the atomic radiation, or something else, he wakes up 15 years later, ready to finish the task he was originally, instinctively set on doing in 1954 - destroying the world and resetting the balance of nature.
In Godzilla's absense, the government, now aware that such a creature exists, began searching for other life forms and even open up a secret branch for the research - M.U.T.O. They came across other, large, prehistoric creatures, hidden under ground, wherever. They run tests, trying to harness their power for the good of mankind and as a defense against Godzilla.
But, the creatures they created, the MUTOs, escape. After being exposed to a radioactive leak, I'm assuming, they too adapt and evolve from the radioactive energy. Once they've escaped, they head out into the world, and hide in those massive sinkholes we saw earlier on in the viral marketing campaign. Since they were originally a diverse collection of test subjects, we have multiple types of Monsters now, some hide under ground, some fly and some just invade like locusts - those would be the spider-like ones.
The way I see it, there are 3 main MUTO categories:
- The winged Muto (probably only one of them - the biggest one too)
- The spider/crab like Muto (the ones which attack the airport, the cities, etc...)
- The centipede like Muto (the one seen in the comic con teaser, which also burrows under ground, like centipedes do)
While all this shit show is just getting started, Godzilla wakes up again, now in present day. Whether by nature's instinctive drive or by chance, Godzilla has awoken at a bad time. The world is now being overrun by these new Monsters, which like Godzilla, have grown in strength due to the radioactive exposure.
Godzilla's initial task of wiping out all life 15 years ago is now challenged by a new threat, which will not go down as easily as Humanity will.
Suffice to say, Godzilla has one hell of a job to do and he gets right to it, by destroying city after city, Muto after Muto until.... I don't know.
That's where my imagination hids a road block. Does Godzilla go to sleep after wiping out the Muto? Or is he killed like in the original? I don't want to say he dies, but I think he might. Oxygen Destroyer style.
But, as always, nature must always keep a balance, and as the credits are about to roll, we learn that Godzilla is not alone, that there could be another, in hibernation, or even a baby, which waits, growing in the underground refuge its mother/father/whatever lived in for those eons before they were needed.
It's along ass post and if you read it all, kudos! Now, I bring up a lot of speculative ideas in this topic, so I'm interested to hear what all of you have to add or debate. Again, these are only ideas, but they seem like they could hold water.
What are your thoughts?
