The series follows the titular team in their battles against the Gaiark Clan, who have conquered several Braneworlds and now seek to do the same to the Human World.
The eponymous Go-ongers are a team of five humans partnered with inhabitants of the Braneworld of Machine World called Engines based in an RV called the Ginjiro-go (ギンジロー号, Ginjirō-gō) who utilize Change Soul (チェンジソウル, Chenji Sōru) microchips in order to transform. While transformed, they each carry a Mantan Gun and wield unique Go-on Gear (ゴーオンギア, Gōon Gia) weapons. During the events of the crossover film Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger , after losing their Engine Souls, the Go-ongers learn the Engine Fist (炎神拳, Enjinken) fighting style to compensate for the brief loss of their partners and gain the ability to perform 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) finisher.
The primary members composed of Sōsuke, Renn, and Saki utilize blue-colored Change Souls in conjunction with the Go-Phone (ゴーフォン, Gōfon) in order to transform.

The Go-on Wings (ゴーオンウイングス, Gōon Uingusu) are an elite two-man fighting force composed of the Sutō siblings, who came from a Plutocratic lifestyle. They were chosen by the Wing Clan Engines because of their esper abilities and brought to Machine World to become the Go-on Wings under Engine Jum-bowhale's guidance before the Go-ongers came to be. Due to their training however, they initially view the Go-ongers as too inexperienced to protect Earth until Jum-bowhale teaches the pair about what truly makes the Go-ongers, leading to the Go-on Wings becoming their allies. After defeating the Gaiark Clan, they resume their familial duties as members of high class society, though Hiroto was reluctant to do so. During the events of the crossover film Engine Sentai Go-onger vs. Gekiranger, it is revealed that the Go-on Wings learned the Geki Jūken Beast Arts fighting style from Gorie Yen.
Unlike the primary or secondary Go-ongers, the Sutō siblings utilize red-colored Change Souls in conjunction with the Wing Trigger in order to transform. While transformed, they each wield a Rocket Dagger, which allows them to fly via the Jet Dagger (ジェットダガー, Jetto Dagā) function and perform a variety of elemental-powered attacks. Additionally, they can combine their Wing Triggers and Rocket Daggers to form the Wing Booster, which allows them to perform the Hyper Cannonball (ハイパーキャノンボール, Haipā Kyanonbōru) finisher alongside the Go-ongers.
Hiroto Sutō (須塔 大翔, Sutō Hiroto), nicknamed the "Philosopher", is the cool and aloof leader of the Go-on Wings who is proficient in combat. He trains extensively in boxing and kickboxing, and possesses an esper ability that allows him to sense nearby danger.

[6]

Hiroto Sutō is portrayed by Hidenori Tokuyama (徳山 秀典, Tokuyama Hidenori) as an adult and by Shogo Ehara (江原 省吾, Ehara Shōgo) as a child.
Miu Sutō (須塔 美羽, Sutō Miu), nicknamed the "Lovely Sensation", is Hiroto's younger sister with a "princessy" attitude, skill in aikido, and an esper ability that allows her to see things through the flowers she tends to. She displays an over-dependence on her brother, who she refers to as "ani", [a] along with a desire to improve those she perceives as lesser than her. Over the course of the series, she develops a close friendship with Saki Rōyama and a hesitant crush on Sōsuke Esumi. Additionally, she temporarily breaks off from Hiroto to form the G3 Princess and Go-on Princess idol groups to defeat a separate foe on two separate occasions. [7]

The Go-ongers' technology revolves around the Engine Souls (炎神ソウル, Enjin Sōru), which hold the Engines' souls, along with other types of Souls.
The Go-ongers' mecha are the Engines (炎神, Enjin), denizens of Machine World who pursued the Gaiark Clan to the Human World. Due to being unable to maintain their true giant sizes for longer than 10 minutes without suffering from fatal rusting, they are forced to separate their Engine Souls from their Engine Casts (炎神キャスト, Enjin Kyasuto) and choose the Go-ongers to assist them in keeping both safe. Through their bonds with their partners, the Engines are able to combine into stronger humanoid mecha forms.
With the Shinkengers' Origami, the Engines can perform the Modikara Cannonball (モヂカラキャノンボール, Mojikara Kyanonbōru) attack.
The Engines can be assembled into larger mecha via Engine Combination (炎神合体, Enjin Gattai). Together, they can perform the Go-on Kick (ゴーオンキック, Gōon Kikku) and Go-on Punch (ゴーオンパンチ, Gōon Panchi) attacks.
Bomper (ボンパー, Bonpā), short for "Born-to Outerdimension and Mechanic × Pitcrew-type ENGINE-support Robot", is a pink radar robot from Machine World who was created by Jum-bowhale and supports the Go-ongers by creating their arsenal and performing maintenance on the Engines.

The Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark (蛮機族ガイアーク, Bankizoku Gaiāku), [i] [j] are machine-men from the Machine World who seek to pollute the Braneworlds and whose numbers were scattered during their war with the Engines.
Originally thought to be the last of the Gaiark, the three Pollution Ministers end up on Earth to pollute it to serve as an ideal paradise for them and based themselves at Hellgailles Palace (ヘルガイユ宮殿, Herugaiyu Kyūden), which is powered by the Deus Haguru Magear (デウス・ハグル・マギア, Deusu Haguru Magia), an inexhaustible energy source that Yogostein brought with him from Machine World. Amidst their battle with Yogoshimacritein, the Go-ongers destroy the gear, causing Hellgailles Palace to self-destruct. During the events of the crossover film Samurai Sentai Shinkenger vs. Go-onger: GinmakuBang!!, the Pollution Ministers are rebuilt, but choose not to continue the Gaiark Clan's plans and run off to the bottom of the Sanzu River. As of the events of the anniversary film Engine Sentai Go-onger: 10 Years Grand Prix, the ministers settle down in Junk World, but accidentally give rise to the Zontark Clan and join forces with the Go-ongers to stop them.
Land Pollution Minister Yogostein (害地大臣ヨゴシュタイン, Gaichi Daijin Yogoshutain), [33] [k] short for Baron Yogorex de Stein (バロン・ヨゴレックス・ド・シュタイン, Baron Yogorekkusu do Shutain), is a serious-minded general who leads the Gaiark's Land Pollution Barbaric Machine Beasts and wields the Yogospear (ヨゴシュピア, Yogoshupia). After suffering a string of failures amidst his battles against the Go-ongers and losing his vice-minister, Hiramechimedes, whom he had total faith in, Yogostein goes into self-imposed exile to mourn and find himself before returning to personally seek violent revenge against the Go-ongers. Desiring the Horonderthal Clan's power, he awakens one of its members, lets the Go-ongers scrap it, and uses its parts to upgrade himself into the Horonderthal King in a failed attempt to kill Go-on Red and rust all of Japan. Despite his newfound power, he is weakened by EngineOh G12 and scrapped by Go-on Red in a final duel. [34]
Yogostein is voiced by Kiyoyuki Yanada (梁田 清之, Yanada Kiyoyuki), who also voices Yogoshimacritein.
Air Pollution Minister Kitaneydas (害気大臣キタネイダス, Gaiki Daijin Kitaneidasu) [33] [l] is the leader of the Gaiark's Air Pollution Barbaric Machine Beasts who wields the Kitaneybar (キタネイバー, Kitaneibā), can transform into smog, and perform the Air Pollution Attack (害気アタック, Gaiki Attaku). Amidst the Gaiark's war with the Engines, he experimented with Bikkurium's potent properties before using it on the Barbaric Machine Beasts. He arrives in the Human World with Yogostein and Kegalesia, but following the former's death, Yogoshimacritein's arrival, and being reduced to a living shield, a frustrated Kitaneydas and Kegalesia destroy the Bottomless Wastebin to weaken Yogoshimacritein, who scraps them in retaliation. [34]
Kitaneydas is voiced by Mitsuaki Madono (真殿 光昭, Madono Mitsuaki).
Water Pollution Minister Kegalesia (害水大臣ケガレシア, Gaisui Daijin Kegareshia) [32] [m] is the leader of the Water Pollution Barbaric Machine Beasts who is armed with the Kegastick (ケガスティック, Kegasutikku), possesses regenerating artificial human-like skin, and can shoot steam from pipes on her back whenever she gets angry, which can cause her to enlarge if excess steam is produced. Amidst the Gaiark's fight with the Go-ongers, Kegalesia briefly breaks off from her fellow ministers to form the G3 Princess idol group to defeat a separate foe. Following Yogostein's death and Yogoshimacritein reducing her to a living shield, Kegalesia leads the Go-ongers to the Deus Haguru Magear before helping Kitaneydas destroy the Bottomless Wastebin to weaken Yogoshimacritein, who scraps them in retaliation.
Due to her nature as a Water Pollution branch member, she can perform the Water Pollution Fusion (害水合身, Gaisui Gasshin) technique with any member of the same branch in order to boost both parties' power. [35]
During the events of Engine Sentai Go-onger: 10 Years Grand Prix, amidst the Pollution Ministers' efforts to stop the Zontark Clan, Kegalesia borrows Go-on Yellow's transformation equipment and briefly transforms into Kega Yellow (ケガイエロー, Kega Ierō).
Kegalesia is portrayed by Nao Oikawa (及川 奈央, Oikawa Nao).
Land Pollution Vice-Minister Hiramechimedes (害地副大臣ヒラメキメデス, Gaichi Fukudaijin Hiramekimedesu) [n] is Yogostein's subordinate and the Gaiark's top tactical genius. Originally a second-rate inventor who developed much of the Gaiark's arsenal, he plotted to assassinate Yogostein and take his position. However, the latter recognized the former's brilliance and awarded him with the yardstick-like Hacalibur (ハカリバー, Hakaribā) sword and promoted him to Vice-Minister. This caused Hiramechimedes to loyally devote himself to Yogostein's cause and he would go on to inspire fear in the Engines after achieving numerous victories.
On the day the Gaiark were expelled from Machine World, Hiramechimedes disappeared to mount a failed attack on the Wing Clan Engines before resurfacing in the Human World months later to serve under Yogostein once more. When the Wing Engines pursue him and gain help from the Go-on Wings, Hiramechimedes stages his banishment from the Gaiark in a plot to deceive the Go-ongers and kill Go-on Gold. When the heroes foil him, an ashamed Hiramechimedes refuses to return to Yogostein and spends several days calculating a new plan to kill the Go-ongers. Eventually concluding he needs raw power instead of his intellect, he sneaks back into the Hellgailles Palace and infuses himself with one hundred times the Bikkurium required for a regular Barbaric Machine Beast to undergo an Industrial Revolution. However, the stress of his upgrade breaks his mind as he undergoes a "Big Industrial Revolution" and transforms into the insane Detaramedes (デタラメデス, Detaramedesu). [o] He overpowers the Go-ongers, but is eventually scrapped by Go-on Red.
Despite this, his grudge against the Go-ongers keeps him from passing on. Unable to retake physical form and referring to himself as Urameshimedes (ウラメシメデス, Urameshimedesu), [p] he travels to the Braneworld of Samurai World, possesses a monstrous inhabitant named Bakki, and transforms further into Hirameki Bakki (ヒラメキ伐鬼, Hirameki Bakki) to take revenge on the Go-ongers, only to be exorcised by them.
Hiramechimedes is voiced by Kazuya Nakai.
Crime Minister Yogoshimacritein (総裏大臣ヨゴシマクリタイン, Sōridaijin Yogoshimakuritain) [q] is the Gaiark's Insurgent Highness (デンカノボウトウ, Denka no Bōtō) and Yogostein's father who wields a two-headed Kanabō-like weapon. As the most ruthless member of the Gaiark Clan, he desired to rule over all of the Braneworlds, having oversaw the near-extinction of the Engines' Gian Race and the destruction of three Braneworlds. After Kireizky arrives in the Human World, Yogoshimacritein uses the former's Bottomless Wastebin to enter the Human World himself and use it to power his Justice Dissolution (正義解散, Seigi Kaisan) attack, which can convert targets into wavelengths so long as the Deus Haguru Magear is active. When he uses his Puppet Regime (傀儡傀儡政権, Kugutsu Kairaiseiken) ability to turn Kitaneydas and Kegalesia into his puppets and reveals his willingness to sacrifice them, the Pollution Ministers assist the Go-ongers in destroying the Bottomless Wastebin and the Deus Haguru Magear to weaken Yogoshimacritein. He destroys his traitorous subordinates and utilizes the Third Industrial Revolution (第三次産業革命, Daisanji Sangyō Kakumei) ability to enlarge himself, but is scrapped by EngineOh G12.
Yogoshimacritein is voiced by Kiyoyuki Yanada, who also voices Yogostein.
The Barbaric Machine Beasts (蛮機獣, Bankijū) are monsters created by the Pollution Ministers to pollute the Earth and are, as such, usually divided into four types: Order Land Pollution (害地目, Gaichi-moku), Order Water Pollution (害水目, Gaisui-moku), Order Air Pollution (害気目, Gaiki-moku), and Order Land/Water/Air Special (害地水気スペシャル目, Gaichisuiki Supesharu-moku). The Barbaric Machine Beasts are infused with a special energy called Bikkurium (ビックリウム, Bikkuriumu) that is capable of enlarging them in a process called Industrial Revolution (産業革命, Sangyō Kakumei) and are based on machines or inventions that were present at the turn of the twentieth century. If they are scrapped, the dead Barbaric Machine Beasts shrink back to normal size and end up at the Barbaric Machine Beast Graveyard. In the film Engine Sentai Go-onger: Boom Boom! Bang Bang! GekijōBang!! , Yogostein takes advantage of this by developing the Barbaric Machine Beast program to utilize Ugatz souls to reanimate the Barbaric Machine Beasts into the Recycled Barbaric Machine Beast Army (リサイクル蛮機獣軍団, Risaikuru Bankijū Gundan), only for them to be re-scrapped by the Engines due to being much weaker than they used to be.
