Plot
Machine World (マシンワールド, Mashin Wārudo) is one of the 11 Braneworlds (ブレーンワールド, Burēnwārudo) other than our own, which is referred to as the Human World (ヒューマンワールド, Hyūman Wārudo). Machine World is home to giant vehicular beings called Engines who wage a war against the Gaiark, who desire to pollute their world. Losing, Gaiark's three Pollution Ministers escape to Earth, seeing the Human World as an easier location to create their ideal paradise. The six Engines manage to pursue them, selecting five humans to become their partners, the Go-Ongers. The team are later joined by the Go-On Wings and their Wing Engines, as well as the Ancient Engines. Together they battle the Gaiark and other evil villains from other Braneworlds.

Trivia

 * Go-Onger is very similar to Choujuu Sentai Liveman; particularly with the first three Rangers being Red, Blue, and Yellow and the two that join the team being Green and Black respectively.
 * It should be noted that there is a bird-themed Red in both teams.
 * Both teams use some mechs which are a mix of animal & vehicle motifs.
 * The Engines in Soul form is created by Toei Animation.
 * "Enjin" (炎神) literally translates as "Flame God." The logo for the series uses the English word "Engine" in the title instead of the romanization of the kanji as "Enjin."
 * "Go-Onger" (ゴーオンジャー, Gōonjā) is a portmanteau of the Japanese words for "thunderous sound" (轟音, gōon) and "Ranger" (レンジャー, Renjā). It is also related to the English words "go on."
 * The "Mantan Gun" (マンタンガン, Mantangan) comes from the Japanese phrase for "full tank" (満タン, mantan).
 * "Bikkuri" (びっくり) means "surprise," making Bikkurium the "element of surprise".
 * All members role call uses the word 'Kai' (in japanese) at the last word.
 * This is the 1st season where the name of the show starts with Go-. The second one is Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters.
 * This is the first Sentai Season with 2 6th Rangers.
