History[]
Jet Garuda was made by Dimension fighters, Ray, Kanna and Dan.
When Dimension fighters came on Earth, they joined forces with Jetmen, and Jet Garuda was stored on Skyforce facilities. The Jetmen basically inherited Jet Garuda when Dimension fighters were killed, and from that point they used it as a secondary robot.
It was destroyed in the final battle, but shown rebuilt in the sequel manga.

Jet Garuda (ジェットガルーダ Jetto Garūda) is the secondary Giant Robo of the Jetmen. When the command "Transformation! Jet Garuda" (変形! ジェットガルーダ Henkei! Jetto Garūda) is given, the cockpit of the Bird Garuda forms the head, the tailfins become the back, the rear intakes become the feet, and the forward engines are the shoulders (the forearms and lower legs slide back) then it lets out a powerful eagle screech. It forms the headdress, body (with Jet Hawk as the center), forearms, and lower legs of the Great Ícarus and attaches to the rear of the Ícarus Haken to form the Hyper Haken. It is armed with the Dia Blizzard (ダイヤブリザード Daiya Burizādo), Wing Slasher (ウィングスラッシャー Wingu Surasshā), Garudo Searcher (ガルドサーチャー GarudoSāchā) and the Garuda Burst (ガルーダバースト Garūda Bāsuto). Its finishing attack is the Garuda Claw (ガルーダクロー Garūda Kurō).

Notes[]
- Jet Garuda was the first sentai mecha to be modeled after a mythical creature, specifically the Garuda.
- While the Icarus Haken is an homage to the God Phoenix from Gatchaman, the Hyper Haken is an homage to the Gatchaspartan from Gatchaman Fighter, as both combine all the respective mechas into one single vehicle for a supercharged finisher attack.
