Jet Jaguar is a robot character from the Godzilla franchise, first appearing in the 1973 film, Godzilla vs. Megalon.

In March 1972, a contest was held encouraging children in Japan to create a mech for an upcoming Godzilla movie that would be released in 1973.^[1] The winner was a character named Red Alone, and the design was heavily inspired by Ultraman, having wings and a bug-like head. This monster design would eventually be reworked, with torso being the only aspect of the original design that was carried over to the finalized design. The reworking of Red Alone would change it into a complete robot and have it be featured in the Insect Monster Megalon vs. Godzilla: The Undersea Kingdom's Annihilation Strategy draft of 1972, in which the character would be depicted as having a figure that was sharp and angular.^[2]

However, the 1972 draft was scrapped, along with the character that was contained within the draft, but after Teruyoshi Nakano oversaw a total redesign of Red Alone, this would ultimately lead into it being renamed as "Jet Jaguar".^[3][4]

In this finalized design, Jet Jaguar would be depicted as including square, dark blue eyes that sometimes glow, a triangular nose, a rectangular jaw and a smiling vent across his face as part of his facial features. While primarily silver, his body featured varied, colorful patterns of blue, red and yellow. Specific details included shoulders that were round and yellow, elbows that were blue, an upper chest that was red with a downward-pointing arrow, a lower torso that was yellow, hips that were red, knees that were yellow, and legs that were blue. Jet Jaguar featured silver feet adorned with a blue arrow pattern that extends up his legs. Segmented blue padding rings his neck, with matching textures on his arms, hips, and legs.^[5] A white, bird-like emblem sits on his waist, and antennae extend from his ear structures when taking flight.^[6]
