Mazinger Z+Jet Pilder

The Jet Pilder (ジェットパイルダー) is the Hover Pilder's replacement aircraft after the Hover Pilder was severely damaged by Gusios βIII, debuting in the battle against Unicorn Σ2. It is an upgrade from the Hover Pilder, with a pair of large movable Photon Power Jet Engines on the sides to replace the old hover fans, another engine mounted at the rear to provide additinal thrust during emergencies, and a powerful hovering fan mounted at the bottom for landing. It retains the old model's Pilder Missiles, while also introducing new weapons, which are the Pilder Beam and 20mm Machine Guns. It has better steering performance in part due to the larger fin on the dorsal side of the fuselage. Unlike the Hover Pilder, which is usually parked somewhere within the Photon Power Laboratory grounds or right outside the Kabuto house, the Jet Pilder has its own dedicated underground hangar in the Photon Power Laboratory, and can be summoned by Kouji with the cry "Jet Pilder!".
