Plot

Main article: List of Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger characters

Taiya Hando is a courier who befriends an alien machine life form named Bundorio Bunderas, helping him develop equipment for an important intergalactic race known as the "Big Bang Grand Prix". Enlisting freelance spy Ishiro Meita and supplier Genba Bureki, Taiya and Bundorio establish the Boonboomgers and moonlight as a high stakes freelance deliver service. But when Earth is invaded by a criminal group known as the Hashiriyan, Taiya recruits two new members: Mira Shifuto, a girl who becomes involved with them after they rescue her from an unwanted marriage, and Jyo Akuse, a police officer who serves as the group's liaison with the authorities. The assembled Boonboomgers balance their lives between accomplishing missions from various clients and fighting off the Hashiriyan, later gaining the assistance of the interstellar traveller Sakito Homura and his alien companion, Byun Diesel and the occasional help from members of other Super Sentai.

The series is divided into four episode arcs called "Laps", true to its racing car theme.[1]

  • 1st Lap (Episodes 1-9): It introduces the main characters and the Sanseaters, a group of low-ranked Hashiriyan. After successive failures, the Sanseaters are assisted by their leader Team Captain Madrex, who develops an obsession in defeating Taiya, but ends up getting destroyed by the Boonboomgers instead.
  • 2nd Lap (Episodes 10-25): Cannonborg, another team leader, is dispatched to Earth to help the Sanseaters against the Boonboomgers, using his ability to upgrade the monsters created by them and even create his own, evil version of the Boonboomgers' giant robot. After a short meeting with Sōsuke Esumi of the Go-ongers and his Engine partners, the Boonboomgers gain inspiration to develop additional mecha to their arsenal. Meanwhile, Sakito Homura and Byun Diesel arrive to Earth to make a delivery to Cannonborg and meets the Boonboomgers, eventually joining the team and together, they foil Cannonborg's plans and destroy him.
  • 3rd Lap (Episodes 26-35): Following Madrex and Cannonborg's failures, the Hashiriyans send another captain, Disrace, who restores Madrex as his brainwashed minion. The other Boonboomgers learn that Genba is an alien whose planet was taken over by Disrace and Genba decides to leave the team to not involve the others in his revenge. Genba confronts Disrace by himself and is defeated, but is encouraged by Akira Nijino of the ToQgers to rely on his friends again and rejoin the Boonboomgers. Together, they defeat Madrex and free him from Disrace's control, but Madrex ends up dying again because of Disrace's modifications in his body. Disrace discovers that Bundorio was once a Hashiriyan and attempts to use this info to seed distrust among the team, which backfires once Bundorio reveals that he was decieved into joining by their leader, Waruido Spindo, before he learned all the truth about the organization and fled, faking his death after setting a trap that led to Spindo being arrested. Together, the Boonboomgers help Genba enact his revenge and destroy Disrace using the Champion Carrier, a massive trailer developed upon inspiration from the ToQgers' Ressha.
  • Final Lap (Episodes 36-present): Having learned that Bundorio is still alive, Waruido Spindo turns his attention to Earth in order to get revenge on Bundorio for his imprisonment.
