When the Machine Empire drove Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd off the Moon, Queen Machina indicated that they still needed to capture their two former allies, though they ultimately failed. Tvicon TV STORY-A Zeo Beginning Machina and Mondo would spend the next few months trying to defeat the Zeo Rangers, but their plans were constantly thwarted. Machina frequently fretted over the destruction of many of the monsters that her husband sent down, such as Somnibot and Staroid. When Mondo decided to unearth the ancient Sword of Damocles and personally face the Rangers, Machina expressed concern, fearing the consequences of Mondo's defeat.

Villains Hologram

Queen Machina as a hologram along with the other villains shown by the Blue Senturion.

When the Blue Senturion came to the present to deliver a message to Dimitria, sparking interest in Divatox. She alters her voice to sound like Dimitria and asks the Blue Senturion to show her the message. The message revealed that by the year 2000, all the evil factions (Divatox, Rita and Lord Zedd, and the Machine Empire) would conquer Earth and equally divide its land.

Later, although the Blue Senturion manages to hold off the Rangers, they manage to hold him off long enough for Justin to turn him off. As Justin deactivates the detonator, he activates the message, sees the villains in the hologram (Divatox, Rita and Lord Zedd, and the Machine Empire), and the Rangers see the first part of it. Wanting to know more about the message, Justin reactivates the Blue Senturion, who has been reset back to knowing who is truly evil: Divatox. Tvicon TV STORY-The Millennium Message
