Neg, MG should play the firepower game. It's entirely in his favor.
If Moguera splits in two, MG just has two targets. MG can hit two targets at once, too. MG's missiles would do a number on the burrowing mecha, and the flying one did not seem very powerful at all.
Moguera loses use of its chest cannon and spiral grenades when it splits - not a good thing for its balance in the firepower exchange.
Moguera's crew would be fighting back, of course. However, MechaGodzilla has pretty tough armor. Scale it up to Moguera's size and its armor thickness improves. Moguera's armor is probably comparable, but didn't show any sign of being superior. It also has a built-in weak point at its center; the flip-out ray cannon echoes MG's red chest zapper, but occupies a greater area. Hence, it is a greater vulnerability, and an appealing target to something that's already got a wicked rate of fire.
Does anyone else listen to Kajagoogoo's "Too Shy" and think of "Save the Earth?"
