Just a note. The Fire Shuttle was not created to replace the Fire Jet. It was introduced while the Fire Jet was still functional. But by then Draias had gotten a bit wiser and shot down the Fire Jet while Katori was helpless and the Fire Shuttle had just at that moment arrived to help and katori seems to draw the inner energy from the Fire Jet into the Fire Shuttle (thats what it looks like, no explanation was givven) to allow Katori to remote control the Fire Shuttle and combine with it.

The Dagwon ending was very emotional indeed. The whole episode dealt with the characters coming to terms with En's loss and Maria's belief that he would come back. The moment En is revealed to be still alive is one of the most touching scenes I've seen in anime. Of course I havent been keeping up with more recent anime so it may not have as much impact on you guys .

Magna and Flash are considered part of Brave Crusade Baan Gaan but not Varion. Strange.

It should be noted that the first Varion mecha(Moto Varion)'s combined form is very much like Getter Robo or Aquarion in that different combos makes different forms.
