"Transformation! Jet Icarus! Complete! Jet Icarus!"
―Red Hawk announcing combination[src]

Jet Icarus (ジェットイカロス Jetto Ikarosu) is a giant robot formed by all five Jet Machines (fighter planes) with the command "Combine! Scram Wing" (合体! スクラムウイング Gattai! Sukuramu Uingu). The toy version was referred to as Celestial Fusion Jet Icarus (天空合体 ジェットイカロス Tenkū Gattai Jetto Ikarosu).

Overview[]

Jet Icarus is able to shoot its fists in the Shot Puncher (ショットパンチャー Shotto Panchā) rocket punch and is equipped with a vast arsenal of melee weapons; including the Icarus Axe (イカロスアックス Icaros Akkusu) battleaxe, the Icarus Crusher flail, the Icarus Magna (イカロスマグナ Ikarosu Maguna) hammer, the Jet Lancer (ジェットランサー Jetto Ransā) naginata, the Jet Dagger (ジェットダガー Jetto Dagā) twin knives, and the Wing Shield (ウィングシールド Wingu Shīrudo) formed from the wing structure of Jet Swallow. Its most powerful weapon is the Birdonic Sabre (バードニックセイバー Bādonikku Seibā) which it uses to finish off giant opponents with a flying slash. In order to form either Jet Icarus or the Icarus Haken, sections of the Jetmen's Corresponder must be detached from the device and inserted into the Bird Lock in their Jet Machines' control panels.

History[]

Jetman[]

The Jet Hawk was initially held aboard the Earthship, and was used by Commander Aya Odagiri to pilot herself and an unconscious Ryu Tendo out of it after the Vyram's appearance and subsequent destruction of the Earthship. From there on out, it was stored alongside the other Jet Machines inside a hangar at Sky Camp. Jet Icarus is the last and only robot left standing after Radiguet was finally destroyed.

Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai[]

Years later, Jet Hawk appeared as part of an army of robots, animals, jets, machines and vehicles belonging to the first 25 red heroes. As anticipated by Sokichi Banba, they were led by Akira Shinmei and Chief Counsellor Naoyuki Miura to help fight Lost Highness Rakushaasa.

Gokaiger[]

When GokaiOh and Gosei Great faced the Black Cross Colossus, the mecha of the first 33 Super Sentai, including Jet Icarus which possibly manifested from a toy version like DaiDenzin and the Variblune, appeared to back them up. When the Black Cross Colossus summoned several giant villains to oppose them, Jet Icarus as Icarus Haken fought alongside TimeRobo as TimeJet Gamma and DaiDenzin as Denzi Fighter to destroy Buredo-RUN of the Cyborg. After all the giant villains were destroyed, all 35 mecha weakened Black Cross Colossus with a combined attack before GokaiOh combined with the Variblune to become Goren GokaiOh which destroyed the Black Cross Colossus with the Gokai Hurricane: Cassiopeia finisher. With the battle won, the 33 past Super Sentai Mecha vanished. Tvicon TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Jet Machines[]

Jet Hawk[]

Jet Hawk (ジェットホーク Jetto Hōku): Red Hawk's individual Jet Machine. It forms the frontal section of the Icarus Haken, the head and chest of the Jet Icarus, and the head and the center of the chest of the Great Icarus. For armaments, it includes two laser blasters, emitted from the two silver "vents" atop the machine. It appeared again in Hyakuju Sentai Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai.

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 1, 2, 4-12, 14-16, 21, 23, 26, 32, 35, 40, 44; Gaoranger vs. Super Sentai


Jet Condor/Eagle[]

Jet Condor (ジェットコンドル Jetto Kondoru): Black Condor's individual Jet Machine. It forms the right rudder of the Icarus Haken, the right leg of the Jet Icarus, and later the upper left leg of the Great Icarus. It fires lasers from the dual protrusions just in front of the wings.

It is likely that it was repainted and renamed Jet Eagle after Green Eagle replaced the (apparently) slain Black Condor in the manga.

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 1, 2, 4-12, 14-16, 18, 21, 23, 26, 32, 35, 40, 44


Jet Owl[]

Jet Owl (ジェットアウル Jetto Auru)Yellow Owl's individual Jet Machine. It forms the right wing of the Icarus Haken, the right arm of the Jet Icarus, and the upper right arm of the Great Icarus. It is equipped with both a set of four lasers and a large claw which is often used to hoist boulders and drop them upon an enemy.

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 1, 4-12, 14-16, 21, 23, 26, 32, 35, 40, 44


Jet Swan[]

Jet Swan (ジェットスワン Jetto Suwan): White Swan's individual Jet Machine. It forms the left rudder of the Icarus Haken, the left leg of the Jet Icarus, and later the upper right leg of the Great Icarus. It could shoot lasers from the black edges surrounding the cockpit, but these were rarely used.

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 1, 4-12, 14-16, 21, 23, 26, 32, 35, 40, 44


Jet Swallow[]

Jet Swallow (ジェットスワロー Jetto Suwarō): Blue Swallow's individual Jet Machine. It forms the left wing of the Icarus Haken, the left arm of the Jet Icarus and the Wing Shield, and the upper left arm of the Great Icarus. In lieu of laser weaponry, it could instead detach the wing structure and use the sharpened edges to attack monsters.

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 1, 4-12, 14-16, 21, 23, 26, 32, 35, 40, 44


Alternate Formations[]

Icarus Haken[]

Jet Icarus can reform into the Icarus Haken (イカロスハーケン Ikarosu Hāken) when the command of "Combine! Jet Scram" (合体! ジェットスクラム Gattai! Jetto Sukuramu) is given, and its ultimate attack is the Jet Phoenix (ジェットフェニックス Jetto Fenikkusu).

Appearances: Jetman Episodes 5, 8, 14, 24, 32, 51; 199 Hero Great Battle

Notes[]

  • The cockpits for the Jet Machines and Jet Icarus were recycled and modified to make the cockpits of the Guardian Beasts and Shinka Gattai Daizyuzin in Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger and, by extension, the Dinozords and Dino Megazord for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
  • The Icarus Haken and its finisher are an homage to the main vehicle of the Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, the God Phoenix and its ultimate attack; Kagaku Ninpo: Hi No Tori (Science Ninja Art: Firebird).
  • The Jet Icarus is the lightest first giant robot in Super Sentai series. It is also the first five-piece combination to use four vehicles as each of its limbs.
  • Jet Icarus possesses more melee weapons than most Super Sentai mecha robots. However; most of these weapons stopped being used as the series progressed.
  • When Jet Icarus uses the Birdonic Saber in the finisher attacks, he jumps up and a bright, glowing sun-like energy ball appears on his back, turning red as he executes the attack. This is a play to the mythical character, Icarus, whom he's named after. As according to Greek mythology, Icarus dies from flying too close to the sun.
