should king ghidorah, mothra and, rodan get new abilities?

maybe kingghidorah should be electrical at contact

Personally I don't want them to get crazy with the powers. They don't need to get more powered up for this movie.

RODAN: Sharp Wing Edges (like knives) that when come into contact with Godzilla they slice him deep, and Super Sonic Tornado Producing Winds, and also a Atomic Beam Attack.

MOTHRA: Rainbow Eye Beam Attack, Acidic Glitter Electricity from wings, and Hurricane Force Wind Attack.

GHIDORAH:  Super Grip Strength, Brute Body Pound Attacks, Hyper-Black Hole Lightning Beams (From Each Mouth.), The Ability to suck the atomic beam right out of Godzilla's throat right when he powers up., Regenerative Capabilities (able to regenerate lost limbs and heal from wound attacks.)

Just keep their powers as they were in the Toho movie.

Probably some

They had enough powers in the classic Toho movies, adding any more would undermine the realism Gareth is going for.Granted, I think they could somewhat modify their existing powers. I think Rodan's powers should mostly just consist of creating sonic booms just by flying or clapping his wings. I would suggest the uranium heat beam, but only if he becomes Fire Rodan or something. Mothra should probably retain her scales/poison powder attack and maybe the stingers from GMK. Ghidorah probably should rely on his size and brute strength, and also electrical powers like gravity beams, electrical bite, and maybe even magnetism of some sort.

well i guess your kind of right the king of the monster. but wouldnt it be cool if that they had one new ability that would wow us and make us say "holy crap! hes never done that before! that was so awesome!" thats what i want 

Maybe if they did add some new ability that at least makes sense for the character and make it a surprise, it might be pretty awesome. For example, imagine if Rodan flew around in circles and created a giant tornado or something. That would be something I'd like to see.

I'm going to say no. This is because giving the monsters more "signature attacks" could give the battle a Pokemon feel. I want it to feel like animals fighting, not monsters picking atracks from a list.

Yeah, I gotta agree with PetedJog here to an extent. Not too many things should return, just stuff that's recognizable and works in the given situatuions these Kaiju encounter themselves in. For example: Mothra using her poison scales? Okay, but no beams I would think. Rodan creating sonic booms from flight? Sure, I could see that. King Ghidroah using his beams> Kind of iconic enough to stay.

But aside from a few key recognizable features, not much else really can stay.

Well, I have a feeling King Ghidorah might not have his Gravity Beams, but even if he does keep them, I would like a supercharged electrical beam

It will be interesting to see how Godzilla kills Ghidorah.

He can't just grab it and fire a beam down it's throat.

Yeah, he'd have to do it three times whilst all the heads are readily able to counter it, Alx :P

Since they are going to stay to their classic incarnations only modified like godzilla was, i am pretty sure we will see the same abilities they had during the showa era, or maybe just maybe like heisei.

If Rodan fires a radioactive beam, I riot.

^if mothra has the ateana blast, and lightning effects like heisie, i riot.

I just hope they don't go the route of the Heisei series and make every monster have a beam attack and make the battles constant beam wars. I did think the Heisei battles were cool, but I don't want to see them repeated in the new movies.

Ugh, I forgot about the hideous antenna beams. I guess after all the beam attacks from the Mothra trilogy I forgot about that. Still ridiculous though.

I'm banking on Rodan blowing air like in his original movie.

Rodan shoots wind or I riot

yeah i dont mothra will have the beams at least i hope not
