“ | When we started Apex Cybernetics, we dreamt of new ways to push past the limits of human potential. Robotics, the human mind, artificial intelligence. Who knows what brave new future we will dream of next? I'm Walter Simmons. And it is my privilege to lead Apex into humanity's bold new era. We're not going anywhere, and neither are you. | „ |
~ Walter Simmons. |
Apex Cybernetics, also formerly known as Applied Experimental Technologies, are the main antagonists of the 2021 MonsterVerse film Godzilla vs. Kong and its novelization and the overarching antagonists of the Apple+ television prequel series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters.
They are a tech company who served as a rival organization to Monarch and wish to control all of the Titans so that humanity would be the supreme species while Apex conquers the world. They are headed by their CEO Walter Simmons and are responsible for the creation of Mechagodzilla.
History[]
Background[]
Apex Cybernetics was a tech company founded by the billionaire Walter Simmons and particularly engaged in the fields of robotics, the human mind, and artificial intelligence to enhance human potential. After Godzilla's existence was revealed to the world in 2014, Simmons intended for humanity to remain the dominant species on Earth.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters[]
In 2019, Simmons purchased the remaining last head of King Ghidorah to begin construction of Mechagodzilla, which cannot be used without a power supply. At some point, Ren Serizawa and Simmons' daughter Maia both joined Apex, with Ren wanting to kill the Titans out of revenge on the death of his father, Ishiro Serizawa. When Bernie Hayes' wife Sara died in a car accident ordered by Simmons after she discovered his involvement in creating the Oxygen Destroyer, Bernie became a conspiracy theorist who wanted to discover what Apex was intending.
Godzilla vs. Kong[]
In 2024, Godzilla attacks one of Apex's facilities in Pensacola, Florida, killing numerous people there, whereas Bernie, who worked at Apex to gather evidence and expose them, survives the attack. Because of becoming more suspicious about Apex, he joins forces with Madison Russell and Josh Valentine, and the three enter one of Apex's transports to discover their true intentions, finding out that they have been breeding Skullcrawlers to use as guinea pigs. Apex also captures Kong and take him to Antarctica to one of the openings to the Hollow Earth, where they send an expedition team led by Maia Simmons, who is killed by Kong but manages to succeed in transporting a sample of energy from the Hollow Earth to her father to power Mechagodzilla.
Bernie, Madison, and Josh eventually travel to the Apex Cybernetics headquarters in Hong Kong, China, where they see Mechagodzilla being tested against a Skullcrawler and killing it and are then captured by Apex soldiers. There, it is revealed that Apex's true goal is to defeat all of the Titans, with Ren being the pilot of Mechagodzilla using Ghidorah's left head's brain. But Ghidorah's mind, boosted by the Hollow Earth energy, infects Mechagodzilla's programming, causing it to kill Simmons by swiping him with it's hand and Ren to be electrocuted to death due to being unable to control Mechagodzilla which then breaks out of the Apex headquarters, and fights Godzilla and Kong.
It is unknown what happened to Apex after this, although Bernie was able to use the evidence that he had gathered to expose their crimes, and that the company's remaining employees who were involved in or aware of Walter's crimes, were either arrested or disbanded after the death of their CEO and the destruction of their greatest weapon.
Legacy[]
Immediately after the death of Apex Cybernetics' CEO, Walter Simmons, Mechagodzilla had gone on a rampage, destroying most of Hong Kong and killing several other citizens in the process. The company was indirectly responsible for the incident, which had led to the rampage in the first place, before Mechagodzilla was taken down forever, by the combined force of both Godzilla and Kong simultaneously.
Due to the fact that, Apex Cybernetics was involved in aiding and abetting Walter's crimes, regarding creating a weapon called "Mechagodzilla" to kill Godzilla and his fellow titans under Walter's orders, which was in violation of the United Nations' orders to leave the titans alone and not to do anything to provoke them. As a result, Mechagodzilla went on a rampage, which had indirectly caused the death of several other citizens. The company was likely shut down, by the world's governments, and Apex Cybernetics' employees were obviously arrested, and sent to prison for aiding and abetting Walter in his crimes.
Because the public is now aware of the reason, why Godzilla was attacking major human settlements, particularly facilities belonging to Apex Cybernetics, his reputation had be repaired and the entire human race trust the amphibious reptile titan once again.
In Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers, Apex is seeking to restore it's reputation because of it.
In Kong: Survivor Instinct, Apex Cybernetics was officially dissolved not long after both Godzilla and Kong had destroyed Mechagodzilla.
