I love Jet Jaguar. As far as his fellow Henshin associates go, he is pretty unique. He doesn't get enough credit for that. He's part giant robo and part henshin and he has NO powers; just guts and fisticuffs. No instant kill finishers, no colour timers, nothing.
He has that refined absurdity that makes Gigan such a memorable creation. He's got tons of colours and a rediculous looking head, but the design never gets away from itself. It's very simple, campy, and contained.
Regardless, I wouldn't really want Jet Jaguar to come back. He belongs in the simplier times where you could flip off the audiences intelligence and kids wouldn't ask questions. I wouldn't mind seeing a homage, but a full out return I'd be very suspicious about.
