- "Darling, cool down. Your oil's boiling."
- ―Queen Machina[src]
Queen Machina, also known as the Machine Queen, is King Mondo's wife and queen of the Machine Empire. She is also the mother of Prince Sprocket and Prince Gasket. She usually carries a metal fan with her. She loves her husband and sons dearly as she shows great worry about King Mondo using the Sword of Damocles once more. When the Machine Empire drove Rita Repulsa and Lord Zedd off the moon, Machina instantly indicated that they still needed to capture their two former allies. When Louie Kaboom usurped the Machine Empire, he tried to woo her to become his empress, in which she outright refused (she was always loyal to her husband and knew he was being rebulit). When Prince Gasket appeared, Machina was delighted to see him and her daughter-in-law, Archerina. When her husband was rebuilt, she instantly took to her husband's side and helped overthrow Gasket and Archerina.
Queen Machina was blown up at the end of Zeo thanks to Zedd and Rita giving Prince Sprocket a bomb disguised as a present. However, she was rebuilt later on, possibly by the Machine Empire's root organization, the United Alliance of Evil. At Dark Specter's conference in Power Rangers in Space, she, Divatox, and Astronema pointed out the Red Space Ranger (Andros), who concealed himself in a robe and spied on them. 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.
Queen Machina was one of three (possibly five) female characters to be destroyed by Zordon's wave.
Trivia
- During Zeo, Queen Machina was voiced by Alex Borstein. However, in the finale to In Space, she was voiced by Brianne Siddall (whose role was uncredited).
- Unlike her Super Sentai counterpart, Empress Hysteria, Queen Machina seems to know some ideas of emotions and feelings, caring for both of her sons and her husband.
- Although she loves Prince Sprocket, she is shown to have some favoritism towards Prince Gasket, referring to Sprocket as the baby.
- Even though Queen Machina was the undisputed Queen of the Machine Empire, it seems she does not have the same political powers as her husband, King Mondo. Louie Kaboom was able to usurp control of the Machine Empire from her with little difficulty, suggesting that Machina's position came from her role as Mondo's consort and not through her own authority.
