Queen Machina, also known as the Machine Queen, was King Mondo's wife and Queen of the Machine Empire. She was also the mother of Prince Sprocket and Prince Gasket. She usually carried a metal collapsible green fan with her. She loved her husband and sons dearly as she showed great worry about King Mondo using the Sword of Damocles once more.
History
Zeo
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. 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. She and Sprocket watched as Mondo was struck down by the Super Zeo Megazord, but the Queen expressed confidence Mondo would be rebuilt. TV STORY-Mondo's Last Stand
With Mondo's destruction, Louie Kaboom usurped the Machine Empire and tried to woo Machina to become his Empress. Machina outright refused due to her loyalty to Mondo. TV STORY-Bomber in the Summer As a result, Kaboom threw her and Sprocket in jail. TV STORY-The Ranger Who Came in from the Gold When Prince Gasket appeared, Machina was delighted to see him and her daughter-in-law, Archerina. TV STORY-The Joke's on Blue Unlike her husband, she expressed pride in Gasket's efforts, to deal with the Power Rangers, much to Sprocket's displeasure. This didn't seem to mean much, in the long run, however, as she instantly took to her husband's side, when he returned, causing Gasket and Archerina to flee soon afterwards. TV STORY-Hawaii Zeo
Queen Machina, along with the rest of the Royal House, was blown up by Rita and Zedd at the end of the series, thanks to a bomb disguised as a present. Machina, Mondo, Sprocket, and Klank & Orbus were all blown up. However Mondo and Sprocket’s heads which were still functioning, and Queen Machina’s head was connected to her neck and shoulders still but the rest of her body was destroyed. TV STORY-Good as Gold
Turbo
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. TV STORY-The Millennium Message
In Space
Under unknown circumstances, Queen Machina and the rest of the Machine Empire were rebuilt and returned to the United Alliance of Evil. At Dark Specter's conference, she, Divatox, and Astronema pointed out the Red Space Ranger (Andros), who concealed himself in a robe and spied on them. TV STORY-From Out of Nowhere
By the end of the season, after the Machine Empire forces played their part in Dark Specter's plans by attacking the Phantom Ranger's homeworld, Queen Machina was once more destroyed again by Zordon's energy wave, this time permanently. TV STORY-Countdown to Destruction
Personality
Queen Machina is a sarcastic and snooty queen who cares only about the well-being of her family, dismissing anyone who isn't her husband or her sons. She supports King Mondo in his endeavors to rule the world, though she doesn't seem to have much motivation of her own beyond her support.
However, after her husband's destruction, Queen Machina briefly plotted against the Power Rangers herself, severing Tommy Oliver's and Tanya Sloan's connections with their Zords with a magical spell that forced them to sing.
