Weapons

Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode

Combined weapons

Ichigan Buster Special Buster Mode (イチガンバスタースペショルバスターモード, Ichigan Basutā Supeshoru Basutā Mōdo): The combined form of the Ichigan Buster & Sougan Blade that fires a powerful attack
Once combined, it announces "It's Time for Special Buster" and fires a Deletion-inducing shot that is more powerful than two normal Ichigan Buster Deletion shots.

Ichigan Buster

Go-Busters' long-range sidearm

Ichigan Buster (イチガンバスター, Ichigan Basutā): The Ichigan Buster is a single-lens reflex camera that can transform into a gun for long range battle. It serves as the core Go-Busters' primary firearm.
By twisting the "zoom" part on the barrel of the Buster, it will allow a Deletion that consists of a supercharged shot. It is stored in weapon mode at the Energy Management Center and when transported via Transpod to the Go-Busters, it floats either beside the belt or across the chest for use.

Sougan Blade

Go-Busters' close-combat sidearm

Sougan Blade (ソウガンブレード, Sougan Burēdo): The Sougan Blade are a pair of binoculars that can transform into a giant combat knife for close range battle. It serves as the core Go-Busters' primary sword weapon. It is stored in weapon mode at the Energy Management Center and when transported via Transpod to the Go-Busters, it floats beside the right bootcuff for use.

DriBlade (Blade Mode)

DriBlade (Handle Mode)

DriBlade

The DriBlade (ドリブレード, Doriburēdo) is the close-combat weapon of choice for Beet Buster and Stag Buster, which is a gold-and-silver sword that can turn into a steering wheel (called a "handle" in Japan) for the cockpits of BC-04 and SJ-05.
When the horn is pressed, the swords announce "Boost up for Buster!" and then project energy in front of the Buster wielding it. The horn is also used to activate the combination finishing move of Go-Buster Beet and SJ-05, the Beet Catapult Attack.
For Stag Buster, the energy takes the form of J's silver stag beetle mandibles. For Beet Buster, it takes the form of J's gold hercules beetle horn. The Busters then slash through the energy projections, which clash together into a six-point star and fly into the Metaroid, deleting it.
These attacks can be executed individually by the buttons on the side of the horn. When the Stag button is pressed by Stag Buster, the DriBlade announces "It's Time for Stag Attack!", and creates the silver energy mandibles. When the Beet button is pressed by Beet Buster, the DriBlade announces "It's Time for Beet Attack!" and creates the golden hercules beetle horn. These buttons are also used for the individual finishing attacks of BC-04 and SJ-05.
When in Handle Mode and inserted into BC-04 and SJ-05, the DriBlade announces "BC-04, shift up!" and "SJ-05, take off!" respectively.

Transpod

Core Go-Buster's Transpod

Beet and Stag Buster's Transpod

Transpod (トランスポツド, Toransupoddo): A voice-changing device that is equipped on the shoulder straps of the Go-Busters' suits with the Go-Busters mark on it. It can transport the Go-Buster's weapons from the base to markers in the their uniforms. Beet Buster and Stag Buster use silver and gold-colored Transpods which, presumably, tap into their arsenal in Hyperspace.

Unnamed Spy Cam

Morphin Blaster

Morphin Blaster (モーフィンブラスター, Mōfin Burasutā): The Morphin Blasters are a cell phone-to-gun weapon used by Masato Jin and Beet J. Stag, which they use to transform. They do so by converting the Morphin Blaster to Gun Mode and pull out the lens, then slant it and raise it to their faces.
These double as Beet Buster and Stag Buster's version of the Ichigan Buster, and like the Ichigan Buster, can fire a finishing shot, though this is achieved by holding the trigger after transforming, take out the lens straight out, and say "Come on!" in English into the Blaster. Unlike the Ichigan Buster in Buster Mode, the Morphin Blaster announces "Boost Up for Buster!" when the finisher mode is activated.
The Morphin Blaster has a Call Mode, which is activated by pressing the white button on the side while in Phone Mode.

Arsenal (Go-Busters)

Morphin Brace

Morphin Brace

Morphin Brace (モーフィンブレース,Mōfin Burēsu): The Morphin Braces are the core Go-Busters' transformation devices. They are wrist worn changers that are worn on the left arm. The changer shouts "It's Morphin' Time!" when the dial is turned for Transformation Mode and the blue button is pressed, deploying the "glasses". The Busters yell "Let's Morphin'!" to put the visors onto the Go-Busters' helmets while pressing the blue button once more.
It has five modes, each mode accessed by turning the circle on the Brace:

1. Transformation Mode (変身モード, Henshin Mōdo): Transforming the user into a Go-Buster.
2. Call Mode (コールモード, Kōru Mōdo): Used to communicate with the other Go-Busters or to base.
3. Let's Driving Mode (レッツドライビングモード, Rettsu Doraibingu Mōdo): Used to control the Buster Machines
4. Analyze Mode (アナライズモード, Anaraizu Mōdo): Used to analyze the environment for clues.
5. Robo Mode (ロボモード, Robo Mōdo): Used to activate Go-Buster Ace/Go-BusterOh

Trivia

• This is the first Sentai team to have their name be in plural format as their official name.
• Wikipedia code for various tokusatsu articles can be found in the opening for the first episode; most notable an entry reading "Super Sentai" which mentions various other Toei-related properties of the past that have an American connection, including Spider-Man, Voltron (an Americanization of Toei anime Beast King GoLion and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV) and Sailor Moon.
• Every Metaloid having a MegaZord version of itself is similar to Battle Fever J, where the series had their monsters not grow, but instead summon Big Brother Robots.
• This is the 2nd season where the name of the show starts with "Go-". The first one is Go-Onger.
• Go-Busters shares many similarities to Engine Sentai Go-Onger, and its American adaption Power Rangers RPM:
  • Both Go-Busters and Go-Onger feature the word "Go-" in the title, they both feature animal mechas merged with machines, both feature mecha with some sort of numbering, both feature Rangers that often take off their helmets after fights, both feature Gold and Silver Rangers as a duo, and both feature very similar belts.
  • Both Go-Busters and RPM take place in different worlds than the other series, and both feature computer viruses as the main villians.
• This is the first season to use the Character themes during the ending.
• This is the first Sentai to completely replace the OP music mid-season.
• Missions 31 and 32 feature a crossover with the new Space Sheriff Gavan.

References to Power Rangers

Go-Busters contains several references to Power Rangers - some obvious, some not overtly stated, and some possibly not intentional. Usually these references refer to 'firsts' in Sentai history of plot devices already in place in Power Rangers.

    The mecha are called MegaZords. This is for both the heroes and villains. The difference is that individual mecha are also called MegaZords, unlike in Power Rangers where the name refers to a "giant robo", usually a combiner. 'Zord' is used as a suffix for Metaloids' MegaZords, such as Shovelloid's ShovelZord.

        The term "Zord", which originated in Power Rangers, was also used for the G-Zord in Mirai Sentai Timeranger.

    The Morphin Brace announces "It's Morphin' Time!" when activated, which was used throughout Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Zeo, the first two Power Rangers adaptations of Super Sentai shows.

        Also, the Morphin Brace has a sunglasses theme similar to Jungle Fury, except the Go-Busters don't actually put them on like the Jungle Fury Rangers. However, the sunglasses do form the visor lenses when transforming.

    The Go-Busters can wear their suits without their helmets. This is similar to how the first Power Rangers frequently appeared helmetless; though the Go-Busters weren't the first Sentai to do so (Go-Onger constituting a recent example).

    The main villain Messiah is very similar to R.P.M.'s Venjix as they were both computer viruses, not to mention very impatient and angry.

    Messiah is a floating head from a different dimension, just like Zordon.

    The Go-Busters have Super Powers (super speed for Hiromu, super strength for Ryuji and super jumping for Yoko) they can access to fight better. This is very similar to the heroes of Dino Thunder, S.P.D., or Operation Overdrive.

        Unlike the Power Ranger series' powers, however, this series has given the Super Powers Weakpoints, which balance out the overall effectiveness of the Busters. Also, the Busters can use their "Civilian Powers" while transformed.

    Similar to some Power Ranger seasons, the main monster making method involves using random items.

Along with their partners known as Buddy Roids (バディロイドヅ Badi Roidozu?), they have to stop Vaglass from obtaining the Enetron from the city. Hero and villain alike battle alongside 'roids' and giant villainous 'MegaZords' (メガゾード Megazōdo?).[1]
