Tokunation is kicking off it's July tribute for Power Rangers 20th Anniversary with none other than Power Rangers RPM! The last Disney era season before Saban brands reacquired the franchise, RPM is a fan favorite series for it's post-apocalypstic setting, tone, and memorable characters.
Today we bring you a DX gallery from RPM's sentai source material Engine Sentai Go-Onger, the DX Engine-Oh! Or as you may know it in the US, the High Octane Megazord! Engine-Oh is composed of 3 sentient vehicles called Engines; Speedor, Buson, and BeaRV! Note that this set only included the Engine Soul for Speedor as the others were included with the DX roleplay weapons released simultaneously. Also note that the US RPM toys are entirely different molds than the Go-Onger releases. RPM DX's were smaller and phased out the electronic Engine Soul gimmick. And stay tuned fans, all month long we'll be bringing you galleries from Go-Onger. ALL of the mainline DX mecha released for Go-Onger will be spotlighted for this months tribute. Engine-Oh, Gunbir-Oh, Seiku-Oh, Kyoretsu-Oh, Go-Roader Gt, and Engine Dai Shogun! Check out all the galleries over the coming weeks as Tokunation races down the highway of justice!!

I have no idea why I like this Megazord. Everything about it should turn me off. The simplicity, the doofy faces, the weird robot design. I shouldn't like this, but I love it. It's just so stupid it's appealing.

I think Engine-Oh is somewhat of an icon at this point along side Daizyujin and... whatever that thing was that the Gorangers used.

I've only seen the first episode of Go-onger, but even there, Engine-Oh made an impression on me. He's the perfect meka for that goofball crew, which is why it made so little sense on the super-serious RPM. I especially love how silly BeaRV looks when she talks.
I'm not a DX robo collector, but I really dig this design, I need to get the Retrofire.

One of my all-time favorite mecha, from one of my favorite PR seasons (which ironically I just started rewatchin yesterday ), also one of the few Sentai I have watched a good chunk of. I am so glad I got the GoOn keys earlier in the week.

Whenever I ask myself "Why the hell did K make military vehicles look so goofy?" Then I tell myself "It's probably just her suppressed childhood trying to get out."
I still love the end results of theG-12/RPM Ultrazord. Who doesn't love a good Clusterf*ck Megazord? |

Engine-Oh is one of the absolute best core Sentai Robos out there. As the basis for a 12 mecha combo it's fantastically engineered. It may look simple but once you handle it, you'll have nothing but appreciation for it. My G12 is one of the prides of my DX collection so I can't wait to share the whole thing with all of you!

If any season of Sentai/MMPR would've workd better as animation it is certainly this. The Mechs/Zords were almost there!

I have always thought EngineOh was designed to look like a anime style Super Robot, so I am right there with you, Sentai!
