When the Mutants invaded Earth, Professor Gō worked with Professor Daichi Ōnishi to upgrade the Spy Changers into Super Spy Changers to handle the threat. He was also the youngest member of the Raiden Initiative, designing the superstructure of the Trainbots. In addition to bringing the fire of youth to the project, he was given the newest model of train to name. He named the 200 Series Shinkansen "Yukikaze", after the winds of his native Hokkaido.

When Metalhawk and the Autobot Pretenders living on Earth came to suspect that their Decepticon enemies would soon reappear to threaten the planet, they revealed themselves to Professor Gō, seeking the scientist's help in preparing for the fight ahead. Happy to render his services, Gō created a large subterranean complex that would serve as a staging base and headquarters for the Autobots when the battle began. Within this base, he stored three Headmaster Junior Transtectors sent to Earth by Chromedome of the Autobot Headmasters, who were occupied battling the Decepticons in space. Gō kept his alliance with the Autobots a secret from his son Shūta, but Metalhawk, in his human form of "Mr. Hawk," was a regular presence at Gō's observatory research centre and became good friends with Shūta. Birth! Headmaster Jrs
When the day of the Decepticons' return finally came, Gō and Hawk were attending one of Shūta's school soccer matches. On their way back to Gō's Space Astronomy Research Center, they were contacted by Diver with news of a Decepticon attack on a cruise ship. Realizing that the day they had long dreaded had arrived, Gō was hesitant to tell Shūta the truth, but Metalhawk convinced him it was the right thing to do, and the boy was told the tale of the Transformers. Rise Up!! Pretenders
After several further attacks by the Decepticons and their Destroids, Professor Gō began to feel it was time to activate the Transtectors. Gō did not get to realize this goal, however, thanks to a Decepticon attack on his observatory while most of the Autobots were occupied fighting in the Karin Islands. Only Lander was present to defend him against the Decepticon Blood, who collapsed a stone pillar on top of the professor, leaving him trapped as the facility exploded. When the Autobots returned, there was only rubble left to sift through, but the fatally wounded Gō was discovered clinging to life in the wreckage. Asking Metalhawk to take care of Shūta, he handed his son the key to the base he had built for the Autobots, and died. Terror! The Decepticons' Manhunt
