Land Pollution Vice-Minister Hiramechimedes (害地副大臣ヒラメキメデス Gaichi Fuku Daijin Hiramekimedesu) is Yogostein's subordinate and Gaiark's top tactical genius, and a more serious threat than the Pollution Ministers. He was the Gaiark's second-in-command and Yogostein's right-hand man. Together with Yogostein he led the Gaiark's army of Land Pollution Barbaric Machine Beasts. He is an expert strategist and is able to create cunning plans and tactics to trick his enemies. He was one of the Go-Ongers' main enemies and one of their most powerful and dangerous opponents. He was especially Hiroto's and Miu's archenemy during his story arc. Whenever inspired with a plan, the 3 lights on his head flash as he says "Pok-Pok-Ping!" (ポク・ポク・ピーン! Poku-Poku-Pīn!) with the sextant, and protractor on his chest body indicating the plan's greatness. Hiramechimedes is feared by the Engines, making them frightened husks of their former selves in his numerous victories which they eventually overcame. He serves as the supporting antagonist of the Engine Sentai Go-Onger. He was the main antagonist of his story arc in episodes from the fifteenth to the twenty-fourth and the posthumous antagonist of the later episodes.
History
During the early stages of the Gaiark takeover of Machine World, Hiramechimedes was tasked with inventing weapons. His greatest accomplishment was creating the Barbaric Dohma SP. He felt disrespected because Yogostein did not acknowledge his brilliance. In retaliation he plotted to assasinate the Land Pollution Minister and taking his place as the revenge, but things took a turn for the better when Yogostein reached out to Hiramechimedes and offered him the rank of Vice-Minister of Land Pollution. After this, he swore loyalty to Yogostein, vowing to do everything within his power to aid him in his goal of domination.
Some time before Speedor, Bearrv and Bus-on chased the Pollution Ministers to the Human World (as shown in the opening scene in the first episode), the Wing Engines chased Hiramechimedes into a worm hole that sent him into an unknown dimension and them to the Human World (where they would eventually meet Hiroto and Miu). This incident would lead the Pollution Ministers to assume that he mysteriously disappeared. He would later resurface months later on the Human World to serve under Yogostein again, only to be once more pursued by the Wing Engines and the Go-On Wings.
Hiramechimedes arrived to the Human World on his Barbaric Dohma and was noticed by BOMPER. The Rangers formed the Engine-O G6 and arrived to fight him, and the Engines revealed to the Go-Ongers that Hiramechimedes was the pilot of the Dohma and he was the Gaiark's greatest military mastermind. Despite its components were frozen in battle, the Rangers fought Hiramechimedes with the Engine-O G6, but he singly-handedly overpowered them and left to find Yogostein. Hiramechimedes met Yogostein and greeted him with his return. Then he returned and again fought the Go-Ongers and their partners Engines. The Engines used their Mantan Guns to retreat into the Ginjiro-go and the Go-ongers decided to fight him on their own. Hiramechimedes decided finish them off and brought out the Barbaric Dohma SP and the Go-Ongers escaped in the Ginjiro-go. Sosuke then confronted Speedor and the other Engines by reminding them they were their partners and encouraged them to confront their fear before Hiramechimedes. Saki then created a plan and after the night of training, Engine-O G6 challenged the Barbaric Dohma SP, breaking up into its components and Speedor managed to scrap the Barbaric Dohma SP, which splitted up as well. Then Hiroto and Miu appeared with their partners Toripter and Jetras and destroyed the Barbaric Dohma after the massive fight. But Hiramechimedes escaped. 
TV STORY-GP 15: Engine Stall
Eventually, Hiramechimedes, along with Yogostein and Spinning Banki, stages his apparent banishment from Hellgaille Palace as part of a plan to deceive the Go-Ongers and kill Go-On Gold. However the plan goes wrong yet again with the arrival of Engine-O G9 and Hiramechimedes refuses to return to Yogostein out of shame, spending long days of calculation for a means to kill the Go-Ongers. After a vain attempt to destroy the Go-On teams, Hiramechimedes finally finds the answer he had been looking for: to beat the Go-Ongers at their own game with raw power rather than with intellect. To that end he sneaks back into Hellgaille Palace and, inspite of Yogostein's pleas, infuses himself with a hundred times the Bikkurium amount that a Barbaric Machine Beast needs for "Industrial Revolution". In consequence, the stress of this destroyed Hiramechimedes' mind as he upgrades into a more powerful and insane babbling form called Detaramedes (デタラメデス Detaramedesu). Though he almost defeats Engine-O G9 after executing "Big Industrial Revolution", Detaramedes's downfall comes from Sosuke's reckless refusal to give up. In the end, Go-On Red scraps Detaramedes, with only the Hacalibur remaining for Yogostein to collect. TV STORY-GP 23: Reckless Flash
