* 4 - Hant Jō / '''{{color|green|Go-On Green}}''' - "Vagabond": A freeter boy who lost his previous job because of Gunpei. [[Keet|Hyperactive]], [[Cloudcuckoolander|spacey]], [[Dumb Is Good|naive]], and [[Butt Monkey|often the butt of jokes]]. [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|Surprisingly]] [[Kid Appeal Character|cute]].

* 5 - Gunpei Ishihara / '''Go-On Black''' - "Chaser": A [[By ~~the~~ Book Cop]] who resigned from the force to help deal with the Gaiark. As [[The Lancer]], he's the [[The Stoic|serious one]] - [[Rule of Funny|in comparison]]) - and also actually competent - again, in comparison.

Line 207:

'''Saki''': [[The Ditz|Oh, right]]. }}

* [[Completely Different Title]]: The Korean dub refers to the show as "''Power Rangers: Engine Force''".

* [[Compliment Backfire]]: In GP 14, Hant, smitten with Kegalesia's [[Paper Thin Disguise]] human-form, complimented her as a "Beautiful" and "Pure" person. Being a Gaiark who loves filthiness, [[Berserk Button|she didn't take it well]].

* [[Cool Plane]]: Toripter, Jetras and Jum-bowhale; the only members of the Wing Race we get to see, given their rarity. So, in principle, the whole Wing Race can count as [[Cool Plane|Cool Planes]].

* [[Cross Dresser]]: Not a direct example, but the effect is pretty much the same. GP 26: {{spoiler|In a plan to retrieve Bearrv's Soul, which she willingly gave to Nigoru after proposing to her, Jetras went into Bearrv's Cast to fool him into believing that the real one is actually at large.}}

Line 218:

** {{spoiler|''Everyone'' except the original three Go-ongers and their Engines once [[Knight of Cerebus|Prime Minister Yogoshimacritein]] shows up.}}

* [[Dub Name Change]]: In the Korean dub, all but Renn get one: Maha (Sōsuke), Seoni (Saki), Jyo (Hant), Alex (Gunpei), Hiro (Hiroto) and Miwoo (Miu)

** [[Market Based Title]]: The series itself is called ''Power Rangers Engine Force'' in Korea.

** [[Playing With Fire]]: Hiroto's Burning Dagger.

** [[An Ice Person]]: Miu's Freezing Dagger.

* [[Enemy Mine]]: Episode 31.

* [[~~Everythings~~ Better With Dinosaurs]]: The Ancient Engines.

* [[Everything's Better With Dinosaurs]]: The Ancient Engines.

* [[Final Speech]]: The Bankijuu will often make these types of speeches after being dealt the killing blow from the Go-ongers, and before exploding.

* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: The Engine Souls aren't strictly for their original Casts, so the potential is there.

Line 242:

** GP 6: Up aginst a Bankiju who spams sound waves? {{spoiler|Just bring earplugs! You won't hear ''anything'' though.}}

** Hiroto is overall pretty [[Genre Savvy]], especially when it comes to fighting. A good example of his savviness is in GP 17, when, {{spoiler|he managed to pull out Happa Banki's Bikkurium capsule during the battle, preventing it from going [[Make My Monster Grow|Industrial Revolution]] after it falls asleep}}.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself Man]]: GP 30 ends with a [[Mundane Made Awesome|SPECTACULAR]] one.

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: GP 30 ends with a [[Mundane Made Awesome|SPECTACULAR]] one.

* [[Get It Over With]]: Lampooned splendidly: Spray Banki in GP 4 followed this trope literally to heart, [[Too Dumb to Live|counting one to three after declaring that he'll finish off Renn and Saki]]. Naturally, [[Big Damn Heroes|he's stopped at the last moment by Sôsuke]].

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: GP 14: While Hant was ogling at [[Paper Thin Disguise|Kegalesia under a human disguise]], Sōsuke just ''had'' to choose that moment to place a big log in front of him. ''Upright''. And just to hammer it home, Hant later used the Super Highway Buster<ref> A ''really'' long [[BFG]] in and of itself.</ref> ''all by himself''.

''Upright''. And just to hammer it home, Hant later used the Super Highway Buster<ref> A ''really'' long [[BFG]] in and of itself.</ref> ''all by himself''.

* [[Girl Group]]: G3 Princess, formed in BearR by Saki, Miu and [[Go Karting With Bowser|Kegalesia]]. Later, in GP31, the male Go-ongers form a [[Distaff Counterpart|Spear Counterpart]] [[Boy Band]] named G5 Prince [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|which never appears or is referred to afterwards]] aside from the [[Ending Theme]]. Both groups come with their own versions of said [[Ending Theme]] (see [[Rearrange the Song]] below).

* [[Gratuitous English]]: All the Engines have a particular phrase about themselves, but Jum-bowhale in particular, considering he's a passenger jet.

{{quote| '''Jum-bowhale''': "''Attenshun puriisu!''"<ref>"Attention please!"</ref>}}

* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Sōsuke, of course.

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Guy]]: Wait a minute! Isn't Kegalesia... Nao Oikawa? .........[[Guilty Pleasures|Yeah, we ''know'' her, okay?]]

* [[Hey It's That Guy]]: Wait a minute! Isn't Kegalesia... Nao Oikawa? .........[[Guilty Pleasures|Yeah, we ''know'' her, okay?]]

** I wonder why Hiroto<ref> [[Kamen Rider Kabuto|Yaguruma Sou/Kamen Rider Kick Hopper]]</ref> doesn't call Miu "partner"...

*** Because they already have partners of their own to begin with?

** Retsutaka from [[The Movie]] is [[Kamen Rider Faiz]]!

*** And Tsukinowaguma was [[Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger|Umeko]], and Shishinoshin was in [[Dai Sentai Goggle Five|several]] [[Kagaku Sentai Dynaman|Sentai roles]] before being [[Kamen Rider Blade|Hirose Yoshito]].

* [[Hey ~~Its~~ That Voice]]: Daisuke Gouri, voice of [[Dragonball|Mr. Satan]], [[Kinnikuman|Robin Mask]] and [[Dead or Alive|Bass Armstrong]] as the "Kettei (definitive) Banki."

* [[Hey It's That Voice]]: Daisuke Gouri, voice of [[Dragonball|Mr. Satan]], [[Kinnikuman|Robin Mask]] and [[Dead or Alive|Bass Armstrong]] as the "Kettei (definitive) Banki."

** '''[[Kazuya Nakai|ARE YOU READY, GUYS?!]]''' Hiramechimedes is about to be listed here! '''GET YA SWORDS ON!'''

** And somehow, the foul spirit of [[Daisuke Namikawa|N Ma]] from Magiranger was purified and turned to an engine soul, also [[Soichiro Hoshi|Yukimura]] brings his fight against Hiramechimedes over here.

Line 262:

* [[Idiot Hair]]: Saki's hair pops up from time to time at unexpected moments. It's not permanent though.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: The first 5 rangers all have their moments.

* [[Infinite Supplies]]: The only explanation for everything the Go-ongers, excluding [[The White Prince|Hiroto]] and [[The Ojou|Miu]], run on<ref> Despite not working because of full-time hero activity.</ref>; the obvious cost for daily meals, gas for the Ginjiro and electricity for all those supercomputers in the [[Bigger On the Inside]] base, and we haven't even gotten to [[Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys|all those equipments and repairs]]...

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Both Hiroto ''and'' Hiramechimedes. Guess there's a reason they're arch-nemeses...

* [[Insult Backfire]]: Intentionally inverted with the Gaiark: Being the ones to thrive on pollution, they love anything dirty; literally or metaphorically.

Line 278:

* [[Lightning Can Do Anything]]: Played straight in GP 12: Hatsuden<ref>Generator</ref> Banki's lightning switched its mind with Sōsuke's.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: 7 Rangers, 12 Engines and 4 major villains<ref>Including Hiramechimedes.</ref> all get enough screentime. Quite a record for [[Super Sentai]], no?

* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Kama Banki from GP 14; the spell is first broken by Fujio-sensei, who could possibly go by the [[Whose Line Is It Anyway|Weird Superhero]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|name]] "[[Get a Hold of Yourself Man]]".

* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Kama Banki from GP 14; the spell is first broken by Fujio-sensei, who could possibly go by the [[Whose Line Is It Anyway|Weird Superhero]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|name]] "[[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]".

* [[Magic From Technology]]: A student in GP 42 modified his laptop to function as a spellbook. {{spoiler|It actually works.}}

* [[Meadow Run]]: Spoofed in GP 26 with Saki and Miu; they ''did'' run towards each other but {{spoiler|since they're actually meeting up for a plan to save Bearrv}}, there was no hugging or kissing. [[Les Yay|Not that it stopped the shippers...]]

Line 300:

** The whole idea of an environment-conscious, car-themed Sentai has already [[Kousoku Sentai Turboranger|been done before]].

** Sousuke and Speedor, the Red ranger and his mecha, share the symbol of a winged number 1, which was last seen (though in a simpler form) on the helmet of [[Himitsu Sentai Goranger|Akaranger]].

* [[~~Names~~ the Same]]: From [[Kamen Rider Ryuki]], we have a previous Renn who also wore blue (well, really dark blue).

* [[Name's the Same]]: From [[Kamen Rider Ryuki]], we have a previous Renn who also wore blue (well, really dark blue).

** From [[Full Metal Panic]], a previous Sōsuke who treated everything as [[Serious Business]].

** From [[Shaman King]], a previous Ren who also had a soul partner named Bason (ignoring how their names are spelled).

Line 306:

* [[Nice Hat]]: Look carefully at chibi Gunpherd - his sirens resemble [[Cutey Honey|Hayami Seiji's]] hat.

** Chibi TackleBoy gains one of these ''and'' a [[Badass Mustache]] out of ''nowhere.''

* [[Nice Job Fixing It Villain]]: in GP 11, the Banki misleads Sōsuke, Renn, Saki and Hant into leaving the team via TV broadcasts, singling out Gunpei - then decides to broadcast Gunpei's plight. Which is ''precisely'' what snaps our heroes out of it.

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]]: in GP 11, the Banki misleads Sōsuke, Renn, Saki and Hant into leaving the team via TV broadcasts, singling out Gunpei - then decides to broadcast Gunpei's plight. Which is ''precisely'' what snaps our heroes out of it.

* [[~~Noblewomans~~ Laugh]]: Miu used it a few times.

* [[Noblewoman's Laugh]]: Miu used it a few times.

* [[Non Indicative Name]]: Try taking Hiramechimedes' attacks seriously after [[Calling Your Attacks|hearing him say the names]].<ref>Do note that they're freakishly strong.</ref>

{{quote| "Circumference Ratio: Pi Beam!"<br />

"Isosceles Right-Triangle Slash!" }}

Line 314:

* [[Oh Crap]]: "What?! G12?!"

* [[Omake]]: "Go-on Seminar!"

* [[One Two Three Four Go]]: The lyrics in particular take the direct approach; "''Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go-onger''".

* [[One, Two, Three, Four, Go]]: The lyrics in particular take the direct approach; "''Ichi, Ni, San, Shi, Go-onger''".

* {{spoiler|[[One Winged Angel]]}}: {{spoiler|Hiramechimedes in GP 23 and Yogostein in GP 35-36. Maki from [[The Movie]] even says something about not having used this form for a while - except it's [[Bishonen Line|the more humanoid form]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}: {{spoiler|Hiramechimedes in GP 23 and Yogostein in GP 35-36. Maki from [[The Movie]] even says something about not having used this form for a while - except it's [[Bishonen Line|the more humanoid form]].}}

* {{spoiler|[[Only Mostly Dead]]}}: {{spoiler|Hiramechimedes' grudge on Go-ongers made him linger on as a "''Yurei''"<ref> Vengeful spirit</ref>.}}

* [[Overly Long Name]]: Hiramechimedes and all its variations. Sōsuke [[Lampshade Hanging|is usually the first to mispronounce them.]]

Line 322:

* [[Palette Swap]]: Maki's [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] from [[The Movie]] get recolored for the series proper.

* [[Panthera Awesome]]: Renn's partner, Bus-on, and Miu's partner, Jetras.

* [[Paper Thin Disguise]]: Kegalesia appears in different human clothings now and then... [[Widget Series|for whatever reasons there currently is]]. But whatever she's dress as, the tap on her head is a dead giveaway. [[Selective Obliviousness|Not that anyone]] [[Distracted By the Sexy|ever noticed]]...

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Kegalesia appears in different human clothings now and then... [[Widget Series|for whatever reasons there currently is]]. But whatever she's dress as, the tap on her head is a dead giveaway. [[Selective Obliviousness|Not that anyone]] [[Distracted By the Sexy|ever noticed]]...

* [[Planet of Hats]]: The various Brane Worlds, Christmas World takes the cake for being so specific.

* [[Pokémon Speak]]: Somewhat overlaps with [[Say My Name]], and arguably, [[Verbal Tic]]; the Engines and the Bankiju say their names quite often, but aren't limited to them.

Line 347:

** "G5 Prince Rap ~GekijoBANG!★Limited~"; same as above, [[Boy Band|except with the boys]].

** "Samurai First Rap ~BONpaie~"; A ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger]]''-themed mix for their team-up movie with Go-onger.

* [[Red Oni Blue Oni]]: Sosuke and Hiroto.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Sosuke and Hiroto.

** During the events of ''[[Samurai Sentai Shinkenger|Shinkenger]] vs. Go-onger'', Sosuke also acted as the Red Oni to his successor's, Takeru Shiba, Blue Oni.

* [[Retraux]]: it may not look it, but ''Go-Onger'' has been lightly touched by this. On the one hand, there's the return to chunkier mecha designs; then there's Sōsuke's display of [[Serious Business|patriarchial chauvinism]] in ep 6, Renn (see [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] below), that judo master's forest retreat, even the concept behind G3 Princesses is meant to be old-school... not to mention that the token [[Jidai Geki]] episode is a movie instead.

Line 381:

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]: While averted within the team once the Go-on Wings joined, it is played straight among the Engines, with Bear-RV being the only female (despite Toripter being [[Cross Dressing Voices|voiced by a woman, he is male]]). As well as Kegalesia among the Gaiarc, of course.

* [[Soap Opera]]: One Go-On Seminar has Saki mentioning that she follows [[Korean Drama]]. A more blatant reference appears in the episode where Miu infiltrates a high school, which has a Drama Club attempting a Korean drama performance, complete with Bae Yong-Jun impersonator.

* [[Spell My Name With an S]]: The Go-ongers and Go-on Wings' "civilian" jackets are loaded with [[Gratuitous English]], leading to some normal looking names ([http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/red.jpg Sôsuke]<ref>The name is parsed as "Sōsuke" but TV Tropes won't let you put the ō in a link</ref>, [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/yellow.jpg Saki], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/black.jpg Gunpei], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/gold.jpg Hiroto], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/silver.jpg Miu]), some "OK, I'll give it to you" names ([http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/blue.jpg Renn]), and then [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/green.jpg Hant]. Despite the fact that his name was plastered in front of viewers faces for 49 episodes, some English language fansubbers still decided to go with the direct romanization of his name "Hanto".

* [[Spell My Name With an "S"]]: The Go-ongers and Go-on Wings' "civilian" jackets are loaded with [[Gratuitous English]], leading to some normal looking names ([http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/red.jpg Sôsuke]<ref>The name is parsed as "Sōsuke" but TV Tropes won't let you put the ō in a link</ref>, [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/yellow.jpg Saki], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/black.jpg Gunpei], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/gold.jpg Hiroto], [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/silver.jpg Miu]), some "OK, I'll give it to you" names ([http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/blue.jpg Renn]), and then [http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/go-on/contents/special/0012/images/green.jpg Hant]. Despite the fact that his name was plastered in front of viewers faces for 49 episodes, some English language fansubbers still decided to go with the direct romanization of his name "Hanto".

** The official spelling was probably chosen so that the names would divide symmetrically on either side of the zipper: SOS/UKE, RE/NN, SA/KI, GUN/PEI and HA/NT

* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: NES can make ''his own Engine Soul'' appear in other Rangers' changers at will.

Line 391:

** Hiroto's strategy of reading his opponents stopped working when {{spoiler|Hiramechimedes becomes crazy, and thus unpredictable. Naturally, it took Sōsuke's equally unpredictable antics to match him}}.

* [[Super Sentai Stance]]: Spoofed in GP 14 by Hant; he ''physically'' set their bodies to the usual pose.

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: {{spoiler|In the [[Where Are They Now Epilogue]], which reveals that Saki now works in a bakery, she encounters a customer who looks eerily like Kegalesia (and is also played by Nao Oikawa) ...}}

* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: {{spoiler|In the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]], which reveals that Saki now works in a bakery, she encounters a customer who looks eerily like Kegalesia (and is also played by Nao Oikawa) ...}}

* [[Sweet Tooth]]: ''The'' reason Saki's non-dessert recipes bomb: Too much sugar.

* [[Team Chef]]: Renn; though his cooking is limited to egg-based meals due to [[Perpetual Poverty|budgetary constraints]].

Line 408:

*** During the Dino Engines' debut arc, Speedor actually takes offence at the Drill Banki's [[Verbal Tic]] 'Dori', for being one letter away from 'Doru'. A few eps later, the same thing happens with Jetras and the Engine Banki (see [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] above).

* [[Villainous Crossdresser]]: Hiramechimedes's [[Camp Gay]] older brother Kokorootomedes takes this trope to its wackiest, complete with pink wig and heart-based attacks.

* {{spoiler|[[Where Are They Now Epilogue]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]}}

* '''''[[Widget Series]]''''': Oh god, where do we start...?

** Take a hunk of "Japanese Humor".
