Though I'm just as confused as you are on Gaoranger. That's like the best performing series to this date.

I know. Ignoring the "SAVE da ENVIROMENTS" stuff, it's heroes themed off of animals fighting monsters with giant animals.
And like Goseiger, Ohranger's theme is really subtle and could be used for any plot with ease. Yes Ohranger's and Zeo both had a similar plot setup: heroes use ancient crystal powers to fight off robotic space invaders, but they still deviate on the finer points quite a bit.

RPM handled Go-Onger's wackiness well because of 2 things: The Space Ranger Setup and the Engines being cars.
The later helped because kids love cars and even if they look like weird deisel-powered animals, we all can name SOME work of fiction where the cars had faces and we didn't hate it.
The former is because, as we all know, RPM and in Space have similar productions. Both seasons were slated to be the last ever PR season so the writers just said screw it and worked to go out with a bang and be awesome final conflicts.
