The GUTS Falcon (GUTSガッツファルコン, Gattsu Farukon) is a transformable mecha built for GUTS-Select. Remotely operated by member Himari Nanase from the Nursedessei, it can change from its fighter jet Flight Mode (フライトモード, Furaito Mōdo) into a semi-humanoid robot Hyper Mode (ハイパーモード, Haipā Mōdo).[4][5]

Despite being remote-operable, the GUTS Falcon also has a simple cockpit for manual flight by one pilot. This cockpit is mainly used for maintenance purposes. Raging Feast

In the time of Ultraman Decker, the GUTS Falcon was modified into a manned vehicle as a countermeasure against the Spheres' ability to disrupt automatic machinery. It can combine with the GUTS Hawk to form the GUTS Gryphon (GUTSガッツグリフォン, Gattsu Gurifon).[6][7]

Forms[]

GUTSFalconFlightMode

GUTS Falcon (Flight Mode)

The Flight Mode (フライトモード, Furaito Mōdo) is the Falcon's main mode for flight. It is a primarily yellow-painted delta wing jet boasting high maneuverability and speed. In this mode, the Falcon can dock under the Nursedessei. The jet also has three landing wheels, enabling it to land on the ground. It has a maintenance booth which provides basic flight controls for a human pilot, otherwise the jet is remote controlled.

To prevent risks of remote hijacking by the Sphere, the Falcon was modified and fitted with a proper cockpit for manned operations.[2] Despite this, HANE2 can still remote control it at close range with the cost of its shooting accuracy.

Stats
  • Length: 25 m[1]
Arsenal
  • Autocannons: The Falcon has rapid-firing guns mounted on both sides of the cockpit, two on each side.
  • Gun Pod Arms (ガンポッドアーム, Gan Poddo Āmu)[3][1]: Triple-barrel rotary cannons mounted on the arms of the Hyper Mode. They can also fire other types of projectiles.
    • Falcon Anchor (ファルコンアンカー, Farukon Ankā)[1]: A missile on the end of a cable that can be used to drag an underground kaiju to the surface. It can be used in both modes. For Smiles
    • Detonation Cord (爆導索, Bakudōsaku): A missile on the end of an explosive-filled cable. When fired, the missile and cable wrap around its target and the explosives are successively detonated. Sneering Destruction
    • Missiles: The Falcon can fire conventional missiles. The Blue One Comes With the Lightning
  • Unguided Missile: An old missile that was found in great shape by GUTS-Select members. It does not have a guidance system and thus have to be aimed manually. Due to its size, it is attached to the belly of the jet. It was used against Metsu-Orochi. Raging Feast

GUTSFalconHyperMode

GUTS Falcon (Hyper Mode)

The Hyper Mode (ハイパーモード, Haipā Mōdo) is the Falcon's bipedal form. The Falcon changes into this mode by having its Gun Pod Arms swung forward, rear wings flipped downward and rear fuselage rotated 180 degrees around, and its nose cone slightly swung downward. In this mode, the Falcon can hover close to the ground and perform high speed maneuvers. Thanks to the mode's flexibility, the Falcon can deliver fast hit-and-run attacks with its rapid-firing Gun Pod Arms.

Stats
  • Height: 18 m[1]
Arsenal
  • Gun Pod Arms (ガンポッドアーム, Gan Poddo Āmu)[3][1]: Triple-barrel rotary cannons mounted on the arms of the Hyper Mode. They can also fire other types of projectiles.
    • Falcon Anchor (ファルコンアンカー, Farukon Ankā)[1]: A missile on the end of a cable that can be used to drag an underground kaiju to the surface. It can be used in both modes. For Smiles

GUTSGryphon

GUTS Gryphon

The GUTS Gryphon (GUTSガッツグリフォン, Gattsu Gurifon) is the combined form of the Falcon and Hawk. The Falcon would attach under the Hawk’s claw arms. The main body of the Hawk would then swing over to the rear of the Falcon and connect its back with the latter. Finally. The Hawk’s tail section would swing over to the front and partially cover the Falcon’s fuselage and cockpit. In this form, the top of the Hawk faces downward. The Hawk acts as a booster pack for the Falcon to maximize flight speed, as well as providing heavy firepower enhancement.

Stats
  • Length: 50 m[2]
Arsenal
  • Gryphon Talon Beam (グリフォンタロンビーム, Gurifon Taron Bīmu)[2]: A powerful light ray attack that can be fired when the Falcon and Hawk's engines are linked together.
  • Hyper Thorn Laser (ハイパーソーンレーザー, Haipā Sōn Rēzā)[8]: A charged energy attack that is far more powerful than the Talon Beams. To fire, the tail section of the Hawk would slightly swing upward from the Falcon's fuselage and form an angled opening. Energy particles would gather in the area and burst out, forming a streak of blue and yellow beam.
