Go-ongers

The Go-ongers and the Go-on Wings. From left to right: Hiroto Sutō, Miu Suto, Hant Jō, Renn Kōsaka, Sōsuke Esumi, Saki Rōyama, Gunpei Ishihara.

The Go-ongers (Gōonjā, ゴーオンジャー) are the protagonists of the Japanese "Super Sentai" series Engine Sentai Go-onger. Each are individually chosen by sentient vehicles known as Engines to battle the evil Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark.

Go-ongers

The main team is based out of an RV known as Ginjiro-go, named after Saki's family dog. The Go-onger team is composed of a core three and two supporting members. Each of the Go-onger has her or his own phrase during roll call and a nickname before the group chants "Persevering on the Road of Justice! Engine Sentai Go-onger!" (正義のロードを突き進む！炎神戦隊ゴーオンジャー！, Seigi no Rōdo o tsukisusumu! Enjin Sentai Gōonjā). They also say "Checker Flag" whenever they win. Advertisements for the series show how the first kana in the Go-ongers' surnames together in Japanese spell "ecology"「え・こ・ろ・じ・い」(ekorojī). One kanji in every Go-onger's given name contains a variation of the radical for "car" (車, kuruma).

Each of the Go-onger has a weapon called a Go-on Gear (Gōon Gia) and each wear a necklace bearing the group crest, with a stone in their respective color in the center.

During the events of Go-onger v. Gekiranger, the Go-ongers learn a new fighting style, Engine Fist (Enjinken) after losing their Engine Souls.

Sōsuke Esumi

Sōsuke Esumi (江角 走輔 Esumi Sōsuke)/Go-on Red (Gōon Reddo), and nicknamed the "Speed King," was formerly a race car driver training under Tojiro Fuji. Perenially sunny, he was referred to as "Miracle Esumi" by his racing team for his belief in miracles. Stubborn too and always full of confidence, he confronts all obstacles without hesitation. He is often seen flipping a Go-onger coin for good luck. When Speedor becomes rusted, Sōsuke crosses paths with his former mentor, who helps him by reminding him that a miracle takes more than one person to create. Sōsuke is protective of his teammates: When Saki expresses her desire to look pretty for potential boyfriends, making a date with a young musician, Sōsuke worries that she intends to leave the team to get married. Sōsuke is thought to secretly like Miu Sutō; in GP 30 ("Friendship's Punch"), and under the influence of a Gaiark energy drink, he gives her a ring.

After transforming into Go-on Red, Sōsuke chants, "Mach Full Force! Go-on Red" (マッハ全開！ゴーオンレッド, Mahha Zenkai! Gōon Reddo). Sōsuke and Speedor, in unison, say, "The Burning Crimson Speed Kings! We are the Go-on Mach Team" (真っ赤に燃えるスピードキング！！俺達ゴーオンマッハ組, Makka ni Moeru Supīdo Kingu! Oretachi Gōon Mahhagumi). With his high speed capabilities, Sōsuke uses the MantanGun in Rod mode to perform the Go-on Thrust (Gōon Surasuto), which skewers multiple enemies, and the Spin Rod Crash (Supin Roddo Kurasshu). During the events of Go-onger v. Gekiranger, Sōsuke learns an enhanced version of his Saber Straight combined with his own Geki manifested into an image of Speedor, naming it the Fierce Ki Speedor Saber Straight (Geki Supīdoru Sāberu Sutorēto). His Engine Fist move is the Drrr-Drrr Bullet (Doru Doru dan), performed with the MantanGun. With GekiRed and Rio, he can perform the Fierce-Confrontation Engine Bullet (Gekirin Enjin dan). With Go-on Blue with his Cowl Laser and Go-on Yellow with the Bridge Axe, Go-on Red can perform Go-on Bond Spirits (Gō-on Kizuna Supirittsu) with the Rocket Daggers.

Renn Kōsaka

Renn Kōsaka 香坂 連 (Kōsaka Ren)/ Go-on Blue(Gōon Burū) is nicknamed the "Cyclopedia" for his attention to the smallest detail. He is a talkative former bus driver. Because of his doting personality and cooking skills, he has been referred to by the other Go-ongers and even his own Engine partner, Bus-on, as their "mother" (okan), but he takes no offense and even reveling in the reference. The son in a family that runs a beachside inn, Renn, as a young boy, prayed and offered omelettes daily to a guardian statue in the eventually hope of curing his sickly mother. The statue turns out to be the sealed form of the Arerunbra Uzumaquixote, which Renn learns only after Kitaneidas and Kegareshia try to claim it for themselves. Renn carries a small notebook, which serves as the source of his massive knowledge; in it, he takes notes about and draws doodles of the enemies the team faces, even in the middle of a fight.

Renn is not only the "mother" of the team, but he is also its chief technician: He made modifications to the Engines so they could come together in the G6 and G9 formations, developed the Kyuyu Soul and the Kankanbar, and assisted the Go-on Wings in fine-tuning the Go-Roader GT.

Like Go-on Blue, Renn's physical strength is magnified. After transforming into Go-on Blue, Renn chants, "Just Correct! Go-on Blue" (ズバリ正解！！ゴーオンブルー, Zubari Seikai! Gōon Burū). With the MantanGun in Rod mode, he can perform the Go-on Drift (Gōon Dorifuto). With the MantanGun in Gun mode he can perform the Sniper Shoot (Sunaipā Shūto). His Engine Fist move is On-On Bullet (On'on dan).

Saki Rōyama

Saki Rōyama (楼山 早輝|Rōyama Saki)/Go-on Yellow (Gōon Ierō), also nicknamed the "Sweet Angel," was a concessions vendor who worked the stands of the Twin Ring Motegi racetrack. Naturally cheerful, she smiles and remains upbeat even in times of crisis, exhorting her teammates to do the same. This is reflective of her personal mantra, "smile, smile," which she learned from a woodland spirit when she was younger. While she and Hant are trapped in Junk World, she reveals her dream of opening a cake shop someday. Her Go-Phone has a number of phone charms on it, differentiating it from the boys' Go-Phones. She has an older sister named Sanae, a manipulative woman who often tormented her when they were younger and continues to make trouble for her in the present.

After transforming into Go-on Yellow, Saki says, "Smile Blooming! Go-on Yellow" (スマイル満開！！ゴーオンイエロー, Sumairu Mankai! Gōon Ierō). In the G3 Princess idol group, she says, "The 3 G's are together today as a unit! G3 Princess" (３つのＧが集まって今日だけユニット！Ｇ３プリンセス, Mittsu no jī ga atsumatte kyō dake yunitto!! Jī Surī Purinsesu). She can fight in any hard terrain, using the MantanGun's Rod mode to execute the Go-on Spin. With the MantanGun in Gun mode she can perform the Machine-gun Shoot (Mashingan Shūto). As part of G3 Princess with Go-on Silver and Kegalesia, she performs Princess Cannonball, after performing G3 Triangle (Jī Surī Toraianguru) which passes the ball made by them. In the Go-on Princess, they say, "With the maidens prayer, we come into this world of flowers to make it a world of justice! We three are the Go-on Princess!" (乙女の祈りはいつの日もこの世に花が満ちるよに正義がこの世に満ちること！！三人そろってゴーオンプリンセス, Otome no inori wa itsu no hi mo konoyo ni hana ga michiru yo ni seigi ga konoyo ni michiru koto! San'nin sorotte Gōon Purinsesu). As part of Go-on Princess with Go-on Silver and Bearrv, she performs Princess Triple Attack and Princess Triple Punch. Her Engine Fist move is V-V Bullet (Bui Bui dan).

Hant Jō

Hant Jō (城 範人|Jō Hanto)/Go-on Green(Gōon Gurīn), nicknamed the "Vagabond," is a freeter who works part-time at the Doki Doki Pizzeria until Gunpei's actions cost him his job. He becomes a Go-onger when he helps Gunpei return the Engine casts to the others. Enthusiastic, kind-hearted, but immature, Hant seems always to have a part-time job of some sort; one of these was at a crepe stand so that he could talk to girls (lying to his teammates, telling them that he was working to supplement their food budget). Hant's affection for amusement parks prevents him from getting nauseous when Birca uses his Bircutter.

Upon transforming into Go-on Green, Hant chants, "Doki Doki Delight! Go-on Green" (ドキドキ愉快！！ゴーオングリーン, Dokidoki Yukai!! Gōon Gurīn, (refactored from [[[α]|Dokidoki]])). One of his attacks is his Cycle Punch. His Engine Fist move is Bir-Bir Bullet (Baru Baru dan).

Gunpei Ishihara

Gunpei Ishihara/Go-on Black (石原 軍平／ゴーオンブラック, Ishihara Gunpei/Gōon Burakku), nicknamed the "Chaser," is a former police officer with excellent marksmanship and a passion for justice. His code name as a police officer was "Handsome Detective," and he passed himself off as such until his former partner revealed that Gunpei had never been a detective. After witnessing the primary Go-ongers in their first battles against the Gaiark, Gunpei quits the police force; because the police had considered the Gaiark out of their jurisdiction, Gunpei decided that the police had lost their sense of justice. He eventually finds out the Go-ongers' true identities and demands to become one himself. He went so far as to kidnap Bomper and steal the Engine Casts, demanding to know why the primary Go-ongers were just immature kids and why could he not be a Go-onger himself. After learning how and why Sōsuke, Renn, and Saki were chosen, he decided to return the Engine Casts to them and, along with Hant, was made a Go-onger by Bomper. Gunpei does not like sweets, but after he tasted a special cake Saki had made, he found it delicious and eagerly accepted a slice. After the final battle, Gunpei returns to the police force and finally becomes a detective.

Gunpei initially belittles Sōsuke, Renn, and Saki for being "just" kids and claims that he is "a man more qualified to be a Go-onger." Though Kenji Ebisawa, the actor who portrays Gunpei, is indeed older than Rina Aizawa, who plays Saki (and is one of three cast members under the age of 20; Masahiro Usui and Yumi Sugimoto are the other two), he is, ironically, younger than both Yasuhisa Furuhara and Shinwa Kataoka, the actors who play Sōsuke and Renn respectively.

After transforming into Go-on Black, Gunpei says, "Dash Dynamic!! Go-on Black" (ダッシュ豪快！！ゴーオンブラック, Dasshu Gōkai!! Gōon Burakku). His Engine Fist move is Ganga Ganga Bullet (Ganga Ganga dan).

Go-on Wings

The Go-on Wings|ゴーオンウイングス|Gōon Uingusu}} are a two-man team composed of the Sutō siblings, who came from a Plutocratic lifestyle and chosen by the Wing Clan Engines due to their esper abilities, brought to the Machine World to become an elite fighting force under Jum-bowhale's guidance before the Go-onger team came to be. However, it is due to their training that the Go-on Wings see the Go-ongers as being too inexperienced to protect the Earth from Gaiark. However, after learning from Jum-bowhale about what truly made the Go-ongers who they are, the Go-on Wings join the Go-ongers as comrades. Living at their villa, the Sutō siblings come to the Go-ongers' aid whenever they feel an evil presence making its move. After transforming, they say "Take Off! Go-on Wings"(Tēku Ofu! Gōon Uingusu), with their victory quote "Touch Down!" The Go-on Wings each wear a necklace bearing the Go-on Wings crest and are fearful of ghosts since being told scary ghost stories by their grandfather. After the final battle, the Sutō siblings resume their family duties in high class society, though Hiroto was a bit relucant to accept this role. With the Go-ongers, the groups' surnames spell "ecologist"|「え・こ・ろ・じ・い・すとう）|"E-Ko-Ro-Ji-I-Sutō" (ekorojisuto). The two also learned to fight in the Fierce Beast-Fist Beast Arts from Gorie Yen.

Hiroto Sutō

Hiroto Sutō(須塔 大翔|Sutō Hiroto)/Go-on Gold(Gōon Gōrudo, In Korean: Hiro(히로)), also nicknamed the "Philosopher," is the cool and aloof leader of the Go-on Wings, and is amazing in combat. He trains extensively in boxing and kickboxing and possesses an esper ability that allows him to sense when danger is near. His seemingly cold exterior belies his fiery passion; he tells the Ancient Engines that, like them and like the Go-ongers and his sister, he will put his life on the line to protect those that he cares about. Because of this, and a separate incident which saw him care for a Wameikle from Sound World, the Go-ongers tab him as their "father." Hiroto, however, is not amused in the least by the reference, unlike Renn, who enjoys being the Go-ongers' "mother." During the Christmas incident, Hiroto, with encouragement from Saki, manages to overcome his deeply-seated fear of ghosts.

After transforming into Go-on Gold, Hiroto says "Break the Edge!! Go-on Gold" (ブレイク限界！！ゴーオンゴールド, Bureiku Genkai!! Gōon Gōrudo). With the Rocket Dagger, he can perform the attacks "Burning Dagger," "Lightning Dagger," "Shining Dagger," "Freezing Dagger," and "Full-Power Dagger."

Miu Sutō

Miu Sutō須塔 美羽|Sutō Miu/Go-on Silver(Gōon Shirubā|(In Korea (simply): Miu(미우)), , nicknamed the "Lovely Sensation," is Hiroto's younger sister, a "princess" sort of girl whose esper ability allows her to see things though the flowers she tends to. Her fighting style is aikido. She idolizes and is severely dependent upon Hiroto, who she always addresses as "Ani" (a shortened form of "aniki," the Japanese honorific expression for "older brother"). She has a tendency to try to "improve" those she sees as lesser than she is, which Hiroto refers to as her "bad habit." Though she initially regarded Saki as a "little girl" who she had no time for, Miu eventually becomes good friends with her. Miu seems to have taken an interest in Sōsuke, though, at first, she is hesitant to acknowledge it. She later helps Saki and Renn in regaining their courage by telling them how they changed her and her brother for the better.

After transforming into Go-on Silver, Miu says "World Sparkling!! Go-on Silver" (キラキラ世界！！ゴーオンシルバー, Kirakira Sekai!! Gōon Shirubā). With the Rocket Dagger, she can perform attacks such as "Freezing Dagger," "Shooting Dagger," and "Full Power Dagger." As part of G3 Princess with Go-on Yellow and Kegalesia, she performs Princess Cannonball (Purinsesu Kyanonbōru), after performing G3 Triangle (Jī Surī Toraianguru) which passes the ball made by them.

Bomper

Bomper|ボンパー (Bonpā) is a pink navigation robot created by Jum-bowhale from the Machine World, supporting the Go-ongers by creating their arsenal and performing maintenance on the Engines. Everything relating to Bomper involves the number 66. All of his dimensions are 66 cm, weighing 66 kg with a top speed of 66 km/h. Bomper also reveals that his name is an acronym for "Born-to Outerdimension and Mechanic × Pitcrew-type ENGINE-support Robot." As Bomper is from the Machine World, he ends his sentences with "Bom-Bom!" (Bonbon!). Before settling on Bomper's pink-and-white color scheme, Jum-bowhale had originally designed him to be covered with colorful dots.

Arsenal

The Go-ongers' technology revolves around the Engine Soul(Enjin Sōru), which is a chip-like item that holds the soul of an Engine, whose power they allow the Go-ongers to employ. When not in use, they are kept in the Engine Soul Holster (Enjin Sōru Horusutā).

• Henshin Cellphone Go-Phone (Henshin Keitai Gōfon): The primary Go-ongers's transformation devices, installing a chip-like item called Change Souls (Chenji Sōru), based on the Engine Souls' design, and shouting "Let's Go-on!" to evoke the transformation. By installing an Engine Soul in the Go-Phone, the Go-ongers can communicate with their Engine partners.
• Henshin Brace ShiftChanger(Henshin Buresu Shifutochenjā): Go-on Green and Go-on Black's transformation devices, worn on the wrist. Its use is also dependent on the Change Souls.
• Self Changing Gun MantanGun(Serufu Henkeijū Mantangan|extra=(refactored from [[[β]|Mantan]])): A team sidearm that resembles a gas pump dispenser and has both a Gun mode (Gan Mōdo) and a Rod mode (Roddo Mōdo). It requires an Engine Soul to operate. The Go-ongers can perform the Go-on Cannonball (Gōon Kyanonbōru) with the MantanGuns Gun Mode and the Go-on Screw|ゴーオンスクリュー|Gōon Sukuryū}} with the MantanGuns Rod Mode. A special Kyuyu Soul|キューユソウル|Kyūyu Sōru|extra=(refactored from [[[γ]|Kyuyu]])}} is developed by Renn to fire at an Engine Formation, re-energizing it. With Go-on Silver with the Wing Booster, Go-on Yellow can perform the Flower Cannonball (フラワーキャノンボール, Furawā Kyanonbōru) with the MantanGun Gun Mode.
• Road Saber (ロードサーベル, Rōdo Sāberu): Go-on Red's personal weapon.

• Highway Buster (ハイウェイバスター, Haiwei Basutā): The combination of the primary Go-ongers' Go-on Gear: the Road Saber, the Garage Launcher, and the Racing Bullet. When an Engine Soul is set in the weapon, the Racing Bullet is fired, unleashing the destructive power of the Soul's respective Engine on the target. The primary Go-ongers can perform the 1-2-3 Finish (ワンツースリーフィニッシュ, Wan Tsū Surī Finisshu), setting in three Engine Souls.

• Junction Rifle (ジャンクションライフル, Jankushon Raifuru): The combination of the secondary Go-ongers' Go-on Gear: the Bridge Axe and the Cowl Laser. When an Engine Soul is set in the weapon, it fires two beams that combine into the destructive power of the Soul's respective Engine as it hits the target.
• Super Highway Buster (スーパーハイウェイバスター, Sūpā Haiwei Basutā): The combination of the Highway Buster and the Junction Rifle. To form the Super Highway Buster, the Road Saber portion of Highway Buster pushes the top cowl of the Junction Rifle forward while the blades of the Bridge Axe fold up. Like the Highway Buster, an Engine Soul-powered Racing Bullet is fired, stopping for a split second to take on Go-on Black's cowl. Combined, they unleash the destructive power of the Soul's respective Engine on the target. With the Go-on Wings, the Go-ongers use their Engineken to use the Super-Super Special Highway Buster (超超スペシャルハイウェイバスター, Chō Chō Supesharu Haiwei Basutā). With the Wing Boosters with Bus-on and Bearrv's Engine Souls, it can perform the Go-on Bond Special (ゴーオンキズナスペシャル, Gōon Kizuna Supesharu) with Speedor's Engine Soul.
• Handle Blaster (ハンドルブラスター, Handoru Burasutā): The weapon which transforms into the handle of Engine-Oh G6, Engine-Oh G9 or Engine-Oh G12's cockpit. When using for Engine-Oh G6, Engine-Oh G9 or Engine-Oh G12's finisher, the Blaster Soul (ブラスターソウル, Burasutā Sōru) is set in it and it transforms into a Blaster Mode (ブラスターモード, Burasutā Mōdo) which uses as a gunsight and a trigger from a Handle Mode (ハンドルモード, Handoru Mōdo).
• Henshin Grip Wing Trigger (変身グリップウイングトリガー, Henshin Gurippu Uingu Torigā): The Go-on Wings' transformation devices, handheld and dependent on the Change Souls. The Wing Triggers serve as joysticks when the Go-on Wings pilot their Engines and anything thing else they attach to.

Engines

The Go-ongers' mecha are the Engines (炎神, Enjin), denizens of Machine World with which some pursue the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark, choosing the Go-ongers as their partners to fight the Gaiark. In the human world, the Engines cannot exist in their full size and thus assume smaller forms called Engine Casts (炎神キャスト, Enjin Kyasuto) remove their Engine Souls which are kept in the Engine Attache (炎神アタッシュ, Enjin Atasshu) until they are needed. They resume their true size on Earth for 10 minutes maximum, or suffer fatal rusting. To fight, however, the Engines need the aid of human beings to resume their true forms, with their hearts allowing the Engines to assume more powerful forms. Among Engines there are two races, the large Gian Race (ジャイアン族, Jaian Zoku) that can combine with other Engines and the rare Wing Race (ウイング族, Uingu Zoku) that are masters of aerial combat.

As Engine Souls, they can communicate via any henshin device to advise the Go-ongers and the Go-on Wings, appearing as cartoony holograms with features such as teeth, mouths, and other body parts not present when they are just Engines.

1. Engine Speedor|炎神スピードル|Enjin Supīdoru}} is Go-on Red's partner, a hybrid between a condor and a racing car who ends his sentences with "Drrrr Drrrr!"|ドルドル！|Doru Doru!}}. When formally introducing himself, Speedor says, "Full tank of courage! The highway star! Engine Speedor" (勇気満タン、ハイウェイスター！炎神スピードル, Yūki mantan, haiwei sutā! Enjin Supīdoru). His engine pipes spout flames in his Speedor Burst (スピードルバースト, Supīdoru Bāsuto) attack. His speed is unmatched: He can travel the length of Japan at full speed of 1000 km/h within three hours. Speedor can assume "Accel Full Throttle", a semi-flying mode where Speedor uses his talons for attacks but can only glide.

Engine Speedor forms the upper body and head of Engine-Oh.

1. Engine Bus-on (炎神バスオン, Enjin Basuon) is Go-on Blue's partner, a hybrid between a lion and a bus who is the Edokko spirit of the group and ends his sentences with "Onon Ooonn!" (オンオン！, On'on!). He is able to hold 100 to 200 people in his body. When fully introducing himself, Bus-on says, "The chic and gallant safe ride! I'm Engine Bus-on" (粋でいなせな安全運転！炎神バスオンでい, Iki de inase na anzen unten! Enjin Basuon dei). He has brute strength and Bus-on Missiles (バスオンミサイル, Basuon Misairu). He uses his destination sign as a secondary form of communication, changing it to say words such as "Stop" and "Fire!" He forms Engine-Oh's hip, legs, and Go-on Sword.
2. Engine Bear RV (炎神ベアールＶ（ブイ）, Enjin Beārubui) is Go-on Yellow's partner, a gutsy hybrid between a bear and an 4WD truck who speaks Kansai-ben and ends her sentences with "Vvvvv Vvvv!" (ブイブイ！, Bui Bui!). When fully introducing herself, Bear RV says, "The loving and compassionate tough girl! I'm Engine Bear RV" (愛嬌と度胸のタフガール！炎神ベアールＶや, Aikyō to dokyō no tafu gāru!! Enjin Beārubui ya). Her spunky pep is due to her not being a picky eater, eating even enemy aircraft in her Bearr Attack (ベアールアタック, Beāru Atakku), and her technique is Bearr Press (ベアールプレス, Beāru Puresu) and V V Missiles (ブイブイミサイル, Bui Bui Misairu). She previously had romantic feelings for Jetras, though her impression of him as a strong person is ruined due to the Nigorl incident. She forms Engine-Oh's lower body and V-Shield.
3. Engine Birca (炎神バルカ, Enjin Baruka) is Go-on Green's partner, an easy-going hybrid between an orca and a motorcycle with a fondness for foreign words, having used Spanish, Italian, French, English, and Mandarin Chinese terms so far. He ends his sentences with "Bar Barrrca!" (バルバルーカ！, Baru Barūka!). When fully introducing himself, Birca says, "The easygoing dreamer! I'm Engine Birca" (気楽なドリーマー！炎神バルカだよ, Kiraku na dorīmā! Enjin Baruka da yo). He is best at quick movements, though can be stubborn and rush into things without second thought. In battle, Birca uses his tail, the Bircutter (バルカッター, Barukattā) as a weapon. He forms a left arm in formations, bestowing them with his slicing abilities as well as part of Engine-Oh G12's right foot.
4. Engine Gunpherd (炎神ガンパード, Enjin Ganpādo) is Go-on Black's partner, a lonewolf hybrid between a German Shepherd and a police car who ends his sentences with "Ganga Gaaaan!" (ガンガガーン！, Ganga Gān!). When fully introducing himself, Gunpherd says, "The hard emergency dispatch! I'm Engine Gunpherd" (ハードな緊急出動！炎神ガンパードだ, Hādo na kinkyū shutsudō! Enjin Ganpādo da). Known as a sniper for his cannon nose, the Gunpherd Gun (ガンパードガン, Ganpādo Gan), Gunpherd pursues enemies in a hot chase with an equally burning sense of justice and precise sense of smell. He was a bit annoyed with Gunpei, chastising him once for having three stray bullets when they scrapped Speaker Banki. He forms a right arm in formations, bestowing them with his sniping abilities or part of Engine-Oh G12's left foot.
5. Engine Carrigator (炎神キャリゲーター, Enjin Kyarigētā) is an orange-colored hybrid of an alligator and a semi-trailer truck with a samurai persona, able to carry two Engines on his back. He ends his sentences with "Geta Gaaaatoor!" (ゲタゲータ！, Geta Gēta!). When fully introducing himself, Carrigator says, "The giant star! I am Engine Carrigator" (ジャイアントな千両役者！炎神キャリゲーターでござる, Jaianto na senryō yakusha! Enjin Kyarigētā de gozaru). Being of the powerful and legendary Gian Clan, Carrigator can combine with any Engine without need of a human partner. Though he came on Earth to fight the Gaiark, he teams up with Gunpei and Hant to understand the concept of "partner". His known only flaws are that he takes much more time getting charged than the other Engines, as well as being a voracious eater (in fact, his Engine Soul is slipped into his mouth). He forms the main body and head of GunBir-Oh and the feet of Engine-Oh G6, G9, and G12, as well as the helmet of Engine-Oh G6.
6. Engine Toripter (炎神トリプター, Enjin Toriputā) is Go-on Gold's partner, a red and gold hybrid of a chicken (ニワトリ, niwatori) and a helicopter with a lively prankster personality who is a master in aerial dogfights while ending his sentences with "Batabata Bata!" (バタバタバタ！, Batabatabata!, an onomatopoeia of a helicopter's rotor blades whirring). When fully introducing himself, Toripter says, "Flying free. Tricky! I'm Engine Toripter" (縦横無尽トリッキー！俺っち炎神トリプター, Jūōmujin torikkī! Orecchi Enjin Toriputā). He is one of the two Wing Clan Engines who arrived to the Human World before Speedor and the others. With his rotor blades, he can perform the Toripter Batariot (トリプターバタリオット, Toriputā Batariotto), firing an endless supply of bullets from his turrets. He can form the right arm in formations as well as the right shoulder of Engine-Oh G9 and G12, with his tails forming "goggles" for Speedor.
7. Engine Jetras (炎神ジェットラス, Enjin Jettorasu) is Go-on Silver's partner, a steamlined black/silver hybrid of a tiger (トラ, tora) and a fighter jet with a calm personality and ends his sentences with "Geeeeeeeeeeen!" (ギーン！, Gīn!, an onomatopoeia of a jet flying by at supersonic speeds). When fully introducing himself, Jetras says, "The silver air master! I'm Engine Jetras" (白銀のエアマスター！炎神ジェットラス, Shirogane no ea masutā! Enjin Jettorasu). He is one of the two Wing Clan Engines who arrived to the Human World before Speedor and the others. Jetras has the utmost respect for Jum-bowhale. With his wings and amazing offensive abilities, he can fire the Jetras Torahawk (ジェットラストラホーク, Jettorasu Torahōku) cruise missile from his mouth. He can perform the Jetras Phantom (ジェットラスファントム, Jettorasu Fantomu), creating clones to confuse the enemy. He can form the left arm when in formations as well as the left shoulder of Engine-Oh G9 and G12, with his rudder and elevators forming G9's helmet and part of G12's helmet.
8. Engine Jum-bowhale (炎神ジャン・ボエール, Enjin Janboēru) is a deep blue hybrid between a whale and a jumbo jet, with a French accent and ends his sentences with "Bowhaaaaaale!" (ボエール！, Boēru!). When fully introducing himself, Jum-bowhale says, "Everything about me is first class! It's Engine Jum-bowhale" (我輩、すべてがファーストクラス！炎神ジャン・ホエールであ～る, Wagahai, subete ga fāsuto kurasu! Enjin Janboēru de āru). He is the Go-on Wings' Instructor and a veteran fighter who leads the Wing Engines, forming the main body of Seiku-Oh and the back of Engine-Oh G9 and G12. Jum-bowhale can perform the Bowhale Beam (ボエールビーム, Boēru Bīmu), spray water from his back, and assume Jet Mode (ジェットモード, Jetto Mōdo) for highspeed tackle attacks. In his Soul form, he has a captain's hat and his moustache is more visible.
9. Engine Kishamoth (炎神キシャモス, Enjin Kishamosu) is a carmine hybrid between a mammoth and a steam locomotive, one of the Ancient Engines (古代炎神, Kodai Enjin) that battled the Horonderthal before entering a deep sleep as the "Golden Dragon", which is the train formation that the Ancient Engines formed with Kishamoth in the lead. Because he and the other Ancient Engines came to the Human World during the time of the dinosaurs, which was called Dino World (ダイナワールド, Daina Wārudo) at the time, they are unable to speak the human languages like the modern Engines. However, Kishamoth has a peaceful nature in spite of trying not to sound rough, and he easily trusts both the humans and the modern Engines. The onomatopoeic description of Kishamoth's trumpeting is "Pao pao!!" (パオパオー!, Pao Paō!). When fully introducing himself, his trumpets are translated as "Departing from ancient times, full speed ahead. Engine Kishamoth" (古代発で出発進行！炎神 キシャモスだよ, Kodai hatsu de shuppatsu shinkō! Enjin Kishamosu da yo). His nose spouts out freezing mist in his Ice Age Express (アイスエイジエクスプレス, Aisu Eiji Ekusupuresu) attack. He can break his body to either form the head, torso, and arms of Kyoretsu-Oh or form the hip armor, "face armor" for Buson, and part of the feet of Engine-Oh G12, with its head forming part of G12's helmet.
10. Engine T-line (炎神ティライン, Enjin Tirain) is a white hybrid between the Tyrannosaurus rex and the Shinkansen, one of the Ancient Engines who has an intense hatred for the Savage Machine Clans. He is the more primitive of the three. The onomatopoeic description of T-line's roars is "Gao gao!!" (ガオガオー!, Gao Gaō!). When full introducing himself, his roars are translated as "Going up. Engine of wishes, T-line" (上るぜ！のぞみの炎神ティライン, Noboru ze! Nozomi no Enjin Tirain). While forming the middle car of their train formation, T-line forms the right leg of Kyoretsu-Oh and right arm of Engine-Oh G12.
11. Engine K-line (炎神ケライン, Enjin Kerain) is an aqua hybrid between the Triceratops and the Shinkansen, one of the Ancient Engines whose talent is in charging, breaking through anything with his three horns. The onomatopoeic description of K-line's roars is "Gyao gyao!!" (ギャオギャオー!, Gyao Gyaō!). When fully introducing himself, his roars are translated as "Going down. Engine of Light, K-line" (下るよ！ひかりの炎神ケライン, Kudaru yo! Hikari", no Enjin Kerain). While he forms the back car of the Engines' train formation, K-line also forms the left leg of Kyoretsu-Oh and left arm of Engine-Oh G12.

Engine Gattai Formations

The Go-ongers' four Engine robots and Go-Roader each have a role call phrase and a nickname which they say when fully introducing themselves, before the group says "Invincibility's Thundering Sound! Go-On All-Stars!" (無敵の音を轟かす！ゴーオンオールスターズ, Muteki no Oto o Todorokasu! Gōon Ōru Sutāzu). Four Engine robots and Go-Roader can perform co-operative attacks such as the Go-on Kick (ゴーオンキック, Gōon Kikku) and the Go-on Punch (ゴーオンパンチ, Gōon Panchi).

GunBir-Oh

Engine Gattai GunBir-Oh (炎神合体ガンバルオー, Enjin Gattai Ganbaruō) is the Go-ongers' secondary robot formed from Birca and Gunpherd combining with Carrigator, referred to as "Another King of Engines" (さらなる炎神の王, Sara naru Enjin no Ō). Its techniques include Bircutter Storm (バルカッターストーム, Barukattā Sutōmu) and Bircutter Wrist Return (バルカッター小手返し, Barukattā Kote Gaeshi). Its finishing attack is the GunBir Grand Prix (ガンバルグランプリ, Ganbaru Guran Puri), for which Carrigator says "Herculean Strength Unrestricted" (剛力無制限, Gōriki Museigen), then performs a 3-fold attack of its Engines. GunBir-Oh can also use the Gunpherd Gun and Bircutter Slash attacks. With Engine-Oh and Seiku-Oh, it can perform Go-onger Storm, Triple Punch, and Grand Prix Festival.

• With Toripter, GunBir-Oh becomes GunBir-Oh Toripter (ガンバルオートリプター, Ganbaruō Toriputā), using the Gunpherd Gun and Toripter's turrets in its Toripgun Batariot (トリプガンバタリオット, Toripugan Batariotto).

Engine-Oh G6 (エンジンオーＧ６, Enjin'ō Jī Shikkusu) is the combination of Engine-Oh and GunBir-Oh, created when Renn modified the GunBir-Oh components for a new G6 Formation based on Carrigator's fusion ability and Bomper's knowledge of Engines. The "G6" stands for "Go-onger 6." Its technique is the G6 Kick (Ｇ６キック, Jī Shikkusu Kikku) and its finishing attack is the G6 Grand Prix (Ｇ６グランプリ, Jī Shikkusu Guran Puri), firing all its weapons in the energy form of its components at the enemy.

Seiku-Oh

Engine Gattai Seiku-Oh (炎神合体セイクウオー, Enjin Gattai Seikūō, (refactored from [[[ζ]|Seiku]])) is the combination of the winged Engines Toripter, Jetras, and Jum-bowhale, referred to as the "Sky Punching Aerial King" (空を制する天空の王, Sora o Seisuru Tenkū no Ō).

It was used once the Go-on Wings finally join the Go-ongers. Its finishing attack is the G9 Grand Prix (Ｇ９グランプリ, Jī Nain Guran Puri), a stronger version of the G6 Grand Prix.

Kyoretsu-Oh

Engine Gattai Kyoretsu-Oh (炎神合体キョウレツオー, Enjin Gattai Kyōretsuō, (refactored from [[[η]|Kyoretsu]])) is the combination of the three Ancient Engines, referred to as the "Powerful King of Trains" (強大な列車の王, Kyōdai na Ressha no Ō), piloted by Go-on Red, who apparently understands them. Extremely powerful, Kyorestu-Oh uses Kishamoth's ability to shoot out a gust of cold air from his trunk, which is cold enough to cool magma. Its techniques include the Railway Chop (電車道チョップ, Denshamichi Choppu), the Dinosaur Kick (ダイナソーキック, Dainasō Kikku), the Kyoretsu Dino Bite (キョウレツダイナバイト, Kyōretsu Daina Baito) kick, and the KishamoSteam (キシャモスチーム, Kishamosuchīmu).

Engine-Oh G12

Engine-Oh G12 (エンジンオーＧ12, Enjin'ō Jī Tuerubu) is the combination of all 12 Engines, the largest Engine combination made with a height of 93m and a weight of 12t referred to as the "Ultimate King Who Triumphs Over Evil" (全ての悪を制する究極の王, Subete no Aku o Seisuru Kyūkyoku no Ō). Due to its massive weight, the formation lasts for a few minutes. Its techniques are G12 Punch (Ｇ12パンチ, Jī Tuerubu Panchi) and G12 Kick (Ｇ12キック, Jī Tuerubu Kikku) and its initial finishing attack is the G12 Grand Prix (Ｇ12グランプリ, Jī Tuerubu Guran Puri), generating aura versions of Engine-Oh, GunBir-Oh, Seiku-Oh, and Kyoretsu-Oh to attack the enemy before charging while generating an incinerating aura. G12's ultimate attack is G12 Final Grand Prix (Ｇ12ファイナルグランプリ, Jī Tuerubu Fainaru Guran Puri), temporarily transforming into a massive bird of flame that bursts through the opponent. With SaiDaiGekiRinTohja, it can perform Engine Beast Grand Prix (炎神ビーストグランプリ, Enjin Bīsuto Guran Puri).

Go-Roader GT

Armored Wheel Go-Roader GT (装甲車輪ゴローダーＧＴ, Sōkō Sharin Gorōdā Jī Tī, (refactored from [[[θ]|Goroader]])) is the wheel-like robot referred to as the "Running Wheel of Justice" (爆走する正義の車輪, Bakusō suru Seigi no Sharin) created by Hiroto and Jum-bowhale, appearing as a palm-sized wheel and in the development stage due to the defective Power Souls (パワーソウル, Pawā Sōru) created by Hiroto to activate it, causing the Go-Roader to go on a rampage. However, with the Tokon Soul (トーコンソウル, Tōkon Sōru, (refactored from [[[ι]|Tokon]])) developed by Renn, Go-Roader can enlarge and can assume a humanoid Action Mode (アクションモード, Akushon Mōdo), able to change to Wheel Mode (ホイールモード, Hoīru Mōdo) to execute the Go-Roader Strike (ゴローダーストライク, Gorōdā Sutoraiku) attack with Engine-Oh G9 or Engine-Oh G12's energy. Action Mode technique is the Go-Roader Kick (ゴローダーキック, Gorōdā Kikku). Another feature of the Go-Roader is its ability to house an Engine Soul, assuming a human-sized Action Mode with the mind of the very Engine controlling it. However, staying too long in Action Mode exhausts the Engine's energy over a period of time. A human-sized Wheel Mode performs the Go-Roader Attack (ゴローダーアタック, Gorōdā Attaku).
