The Eagle Riders series used different designations for some of the uniforms: Hunter Harris was referred to as a Hawk rather than Eagle, Joe Thax was a Falcon, and Kelly Jenar became a Dove (as opposed to Swan). The remaining two members, however, kept their original bird themes.
In Eagle Riders, the Ultra Eagle 1 is the original God Phoenix, the Ultra Eagle is the New God Phoenx, and the Ultra Eagle 5 is the Gatchaspartan.
