* CombiningMecha: This season features four three-piece combiners: the original three Rangers make the High Octane Megazord, Dillon and Ziggy pilot the [=ValveMax=] Megazord, Gem and Gemma the Mach Megazord, and the Paleozords make up the Paleomax Megazord. They can then sequentially combine into bigger combinations: the High Octane and the [=ValveMax=] make the Zenith Megazord, plus the Mach is the [=SkyRev=] Megazord, plus the Paleomax is the RPM Ultrazord.



* FamilyFriendlyFirearms: As usual, but in "Doctor K", two unidentified guards threatened Dr. K with real-looking handguns (which of course we never see fired).

* DarkerAndEdgier: ''Go-Onger'' was a very silly show even for many ''Super Sentai'' standards, unlike ''RPM'', which is in a post-apocalyptic setting that doesn't hold back, especially for a kids' show. Also in comparison to most if not all of the rest of ''Franchise/PowerRangers''.

** With [[spoiler:Dillon and Tenaya-7]], we also, once again, get the LongLostSibling plot used in ''Series/PowerRangersInSpace'' and ''PowerRangersLightspeedRescue'' where the sibling of one of the Rangers was raised to be evil before making a HeelFaceTurn. It especially bears a striking resemblance to the Andros-Astronema/Karone dynamic from ''In Space''.
