Story
The urban lives of the city now runs by a major power source known as, Enetron (エネトロン). An evil organization from a different dimesion called Vaglass (ヴァグラス) aims to threaten the city by stealing the Enetron from it. Three warriors are chosen by the Energy Management Center to be a group of elite heroes, known as Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, that will protect the city from any evil threat. Along with their partners known as BuddyRoids (バディロイドヅ), they have to stop Vaglass from obtaining the Enetron from the city. Hero and villain alike battle alongside 'roids' that grow into giant 'MegaZords' (メガゾード).

References to Power Rangers
Go-Busters contains several references to Power Rangers - some obvious and some not overtly stated. Usually these references refer to 'firsts' in Sentai history of plot devices already in place in Power Rangers.
 * The mecha are called MegaZords. This is for both the heroes and villains. The difference is that individual mecha are also called MegaZords, unlike in Power Rangers where the name refers to a "giant robo", usually a combiner. 'Zord' is used as a suffix for Metaroids' MegaZords, such as ShovelRoid's ShovelZord.
 * The term "Zord", which originated in Power Rangers, was also used for the G-Zord in Mirai Sentai Timeranger.
 * The transformation call is "It's Morphin' Time!" which was used throughout Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Power Rangers Zeo, the first two Power Rangers adaptations of Super Sentai shows.
 * Red Buster has a special bike (by way of Cheeda Nick's alternate mode). This recalls how some Red Rangers in Power Rangers receive special red-only bikes.
 * However, this is the first time a motorcycle has been part of a team's arsenal since Hurricaneger, where the Gouraigers had motorcycles.
 * The Go-Busters can wear their suits without their helmets. This is similar to how the first Power Rangers frequently appeared helmetless.
 * Though the Go-Busters weren't the first. In some episodes, the Go-Ongers remove their helmets, usually after dealing with a Banki, even in Engine-O (which is why mech footage was limited in RPM). Also, in the final episode of Gokaiger, the Gokaigers did a helmetless rollcall before their helmets formed.

Trivia

 * This is the first Sentai team to have their name be in plural format as their official name.
 * This is the first time the two additional heroes for a three-man Sentai team are gold and silver.
 * Wikipedia code for various tokusatsu articles can be found in the show's opening.
