"Now this is more like it!"

―Prince Gasket after growing giant.^[src]

"I can feel my magnificent size wearing off."

―Prince Gasket's final words before his defeat.^[src]

Prince Gasket was the first-built son of King Mondo and Queen Machina, and also the older brother of Prince Sprocket. He fell in love with Princess Archerina, daughter of Mondo's arch nemesis, King Aradon. Knowing their marriage would never be approved of, the two of them eloped.

History

When news of Mondo's death reached him, Gasket returned to take care of his mother, depose of the interloper Louie Kaboom and wanted to be named King, however he was instead named Prince regent as Mondo was being re-built.

Gasket brainwashed Tommy Oliver into thinking that he was the King of the Machine Empire and that the other Rangers were his enemies. Another time, he trapped the people of Earth in a time loop, forcing them to relive the same day over and over so that he could observe the best way to attack them. Tommy knew there was a time loop thanks to Gasket's earlier tampering with his brain and was able to use that knowledge to put a stop to the plan.

When Mondo was rebuilt and returned, Gasket and Archerina fled temporarily, but then they came back in the episode "Hawaii Zeo," where they grew into giants but were overwhelmed by the Zeo Ultrazord. But the two survived the blast, and just as they were about to face Prince Sprocket, King Mondo arrived to confront them. Gasket and Archerina fled and were never seen again.

Etymology

• A gasket is a type of seal, usually forged of pliable material such as rubber, used in machinery to reduce friction between mating components, or otherwise to reduce or eliminate gaps between components that could cause a leakage of fluid or gas, or a loss of pressure where compression is needed.

Notes

• Prince Gasket and Princess Archerina were among the unresolved villains from previous seasons that Amit Bhaumik hoped to provide some resolution to in Hexagon, the original plan for the season after Wild Force. As the "monsters-of-the-day" would come from various villain factions, Amit suggested that the robotic monsters-of-the-day would be Machine Empire minions of Prince Gasket and Princess Archerina.
