It's not overt, but it's just really similar to be coincidence. Maybe because they thought Power Rangers would end before RPM the Sentai designers threw in an homage?

No I don't think so. Toei would have had no knowledge that at the time they were in the production stages of Go-Onger (a time when Disney was still going through Jungle Fury) that RPM would be the "final" season. It wasn't even announced until September 2009, a full year after Go-Onger began airing and subsequently finished, that RPM would be the final PR season.

Those mecha were designed far far in advance of them being brought over here. I can promise you they don't design mecha and homage things in the original sentai versions of these shows so that it pans out better in Power Rangers. There's just no way to plan that kind of far ahead production and make it work out. It's similar, and as I said it's not the first sentai which has used a dino motif for the whole show or at least one robo. But seeing as at that point there were only 2 full dino sentais some similarities were bound to be exist.
