Keep in mind, I have to talk about what Mecha-King Ghidorah was like before at times in this blog. I do realize that will make this a bit confusing to read. Trust me there's a great reason for it. Also you will be very surprised how this particular fight will play out. Oh man I'm getting very excited even before I let my research do the work.
Serpentera
Serpentera was Lord Zedd's personal zord. The most powerful recorded zord in existence. This thing could easily guarantee victory against it's enemies. Serpentera is simply ridiculous in every sense of the word. There isn't much direct information on this thing that could be seen as making it even more terrifying.
Mecha-King Ghidorah
King Ghidorah was created through deception by aliens to prevent the creation of Godzilla. This led to them causing Godzilla's creation to stop King Ghidorah. However in the distant future of year 2204, it's remains got transformed into a giant robot. Where it got sent back to the year 1992 to fight Godzilla.
Powers and Abilities

Mecha-King Ghidorah

Weaknesses
Serpentera
Keep in mind, there isn't that much known about Serpentera. Because of that, we don't know how much battle experience it actually has. It's insane size could work against itself during a fight. Although capable of destroying an planet, it will use a huge percentage of it's power. We don't know how much overall percentage of power actually goes into that attack.
Mecha-King Ghidorah
Originally a living creature prior to it's death. It became a giant robot that has to be piloted from the inside similar to Mechagodzilla. Some modifications are more likely to break than the actual parts of King Ghidorah. Although it isn't clear on how much energy it goes through in it's battle against Godzilla, it does have more attacks requiring electricity.
Advantages
Serpentera
+A lot bigger in size
+A lot heavier
+A lot faster in traveling speed
+Capable of destroying an planet
+Won majority of it's battles
+Lord Zedd & Goldar, two capable beings piloting this thing
+Has more experience against giant robots
Mecha-King Ghidorah
+More overall attacks
+Unlike Serpentera does have protection from damage with it's wings
+More confirmed battle experience
+Faster reflexes
+Nearly as durable as Godzilla
+Likely to get flying faster
Disadvantages
Serpentera
-I know this sounds like a broken record but using it's planet destruction attack uses a lot of energy
-Due to lack of information likely has less combat experience
-Has more sluggish movements, Mecha-King Ghidorah can take advantage of
-Not as durable in comparison
-More unpredictable
-More likely to retreat
Mecha-King Ghidorah
-Despite having more attacks, majority of it uses up electricity
-Like the actual creature, it's two remaining heads aren't protected by scales that can be exposed
-Goldar can force his entry inside to prevent Mecha-King Ghidorah from fighting
-It is likely Serpentera's planetary attack will destroy him
-Won't be able to push or attempt lifting Serpentera
-Likely struggle to keep hold of Serpentera
-More predictable
Verdict
Honestly I'm just as surprised as you are. Just imagine two mechanical dragons going at it. A slight possibility of moving to another planet. Sadly for Mecha-King Ghidorah, there's several major problems. Like majority of it's attacks requires electricity. More likely to use up too much or take enough damage to being unable to save itself.
Especially if Serpentera uses it's planetary attack. There's a particular episode in Season 2 that's also adapted in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie game on Sega Genesis. This attack quickly destroyed an deserted planet. The real questions about Mecha-King Ghidorah are the following. Could it escape in time from any planet's destruction?
Although Mecha-King Ghidorah can start flying faster in comparison. It still wouldn't be able to escape in time. Sadly for Mecha-King Ghidorah lacks a good enough defense to survive such an explosion. The second question is could Mecha-King Ghidorah prevent this attack from happening? Once again no for many great reasons.
For starters, the way this attack is performed would most likely caught Mecha-King Ghidorah off guard. Also even if it knew that attack was coming. Lord Zedd would likely to send Goldar into Mecha-King Ghidorah to prevent it from escaping or fighting back. Goldar is simply too much for a regular human to handle despite being a coward himself.
Goldar has a long history fighting against the power rangers including against their zords. He was stated being able to turn into a giant. Although Rita & Lord Zedd could make the process happen faster. Thus this could suddenly becomes a two on one fight. Also Goldar has experience piloting a few zords if you count a comic book series to help in Serpentera's favor.
The worst case scenario being Lord Zedd could get angry to use dirty tactics. Although he likely won't use some of them being aboard of Serpentera. He could still directly attack Mecha-King Ghidorah with his power. Keep in mind, Lord Zedd himself destroyed majority of the Dinozords. This means he could do some damage to Mecha-King Ghidorah.
Especially if he or Goldar notice a weak point to strike. For example, he could attack it's heads taking at best two of them out. Now this would've worked very different with an actual living King Ghidorah. However it's necks are still a weak point for them to expose. This also could affect some of it's arsenal as well.
Sure Mecha-King Ghidorah has better movement speed but both Goldar & Lord Zedd are capable of keeping up with the power rangers. Who are clearly on early superhuman level in comparison to a regular human pilot inside Mecha-King Ghidorah. I should mention, both Goldar & Lord Zedd greatly trump in experience as well.
Lord Zedd does have some god like abilities that makes it even more difficult for Mecha-King Ghidorah to win. Of course I still need to talk about the height advantage. Mecha-King Ghidorah stands at one hundred fifty meters while Serpentera trumps at at three hundred forty five meters. Mecha-King Ghidorah weights in at 80,000 tons compared to Serpentera's 500,000 tons.
Serpentera is over five times heavier than Mecha-King Ghidorah. Obvously Mecha-King Ghidorah can lift Godzilla whose stands in that time line to being 60,000 tons. Still a lot of weight but not nearly enough to lift Serpentera. I should mention something else, it doesn't specify how far that deserted planet was from the Earth's moon.
It is likely Lord Zedd traveled a massive distance in a short period of time. Keep in mind, the power rangers were on that planet to obtain an sword. So in actual flight traveling speed it could go around or above the Speed of Light clearly a lot faster than what Mecha-King Ghidorah can travel. I felt this is still a better fight than most of the fights Death Battle given the power rangers truthfully.
Serpentera does have a history of retreating. But that's mostly due to being low on energy. Not what the power rangers was doing. In a few Power Rangers shows, it held it's own well against their zords. So it does have experience battling giant robots while Mecha-King Ghidorah doesn't have as much. Also this thing was able to survive a planet explosion at point blank range.
King Ghidorah was easily Godzilla's toughest enemy for many great reasons. I am not trying to under sell Mecha-King Ghidorah in any sense of the word. It is just Serpentera obviously has superior overall stats. An attack too powerful for even it's wing defense couldn't handle. The fact after using that attack didn't prevent Serpentera returning to the moon means it only used a small fraction of it's power.
Winner: Serpentera
