In [[Good Wings, Evil Wings|symbolism as applied to the wings]] this, just like other fire-based powers, usually given to [[Hot-Blooded]] and/or very [[Power Gives You Wings|powerful]] beings, whether "demonic" ([[The Lord of the Rings|Balrog]]), "angelic" ([[Archangel Gabriel]]) or otherwise.

* When the {{spoiler|Invid leave Earth}} in ''[[Genesis Climber Mospeada]]'' (and of course, ''[[Robotech]]''), they take the form of a huge energy Phoenix.
* ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'': King J-Der's J-Quath, a bow-shaped weapon that transforms into a vaguely bird-shaped ray that pierces enemies and extracts their cores. Topped in the OVA by the J-Phoenix, in which the entire (ship-sized) robot turns into a giant, much clearer phoenix, complete with a beak/mouth and peacock plumes. [[By the Power of Greyskull|"In flame, the phoenix... IS REBORN!"]]
The J-Phoenix also doubles as being a [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique]], since even the villain stated that [[Ramming Always Works|smashing your ship right into the opponent's]] is generally considered suicidal. Also, a variant exists in the [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Plasma Wing]] that both J-Der and King J-Der are equipped with, which gives the [[Humongous Mecha]] wings... made of plasma.

* When ''[[Fairy Tail]]'''s [[Playing with Fire|Natsu]] gets powerful enough, he can manifest giant wings made of fire, and sometimes even a [[Battle Aura|dragon-shaped aura of flames]].

* In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' ([[A Worldwide Punomenon|a punny game in the first place]]), the phoenix boss of [[Lethal Lava Land|Hot Land]] is actually named Hot Wings (yet it's not the [[Trope Namer]]).
* ''[[F-Zero]]'': Most of Captain Falcon's special attacks in the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series invoke a flaming falcon. Especially the infamous "''[[Megaton Punch|Falcon...]] '''[[Megaton Punch|PUNCH!]]'''''"

** The move Brave Bird is also portrayed this way in the anime.
* In ''[[Touhou]]'', the [[Immortality|Hourai Elixir-powered]] Fujiwara no Mokou often uses Phoenix-shaped [[Danmaku]], and is surrounded by a phoenix-shaped [[Battle Aura]] whenever she resurrects or uses a [[Calling Your Attacks|spellcard]]. She's often portrayed in fanworks with the ability to cause huge
* The Cybuster of the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' series has an attack called the Akashic Buster, where it launches a bird of fire at the enemy, transforms into its own avian form and merges with the firebird, slamming into the target at high speeds.
** Likewise, its [[Evil Counterpart]] Shurouga has Ley Buster, although it doesn't create a bird-like fire, it changes into something like a bird (like Cybuster's Cybird), covered with dark power and rams the opponent and... produces [[Epileptic Trees|several interesting revelations...]]
