"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.

Super Sentai World

The Five Giant Robos.

Summoned by Red Hawk, Jet Icarus returned to fight alongside fellow robos Fiverobo, Daizyujin, Dairen'Oh, and Muteki Shogun, to defeat the giant Emperor Daidas. TV STORY-Super Sentai World

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. TV STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle

Zyuohger vs. Ninninger

Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst.

Representing Jetman, Great Icarus appeared among manifestations of the first 38 Super Sentai's Mecha that granted Wild Tousai Shuriken King the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroyed the titanic Gillmarda.

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.
