Billy: Someone or something extremely powerful has just teleported to the Moon. I’ll pull up a thermal image now.
Billy: Zordon. Do you have any idea who they could be?
Zordon: I’m afraid so, Billy. King Mondo has fathered not one but two sons.
Jason: There’s another Sprocket out there?
Zordon: I would not be so concerned if that were not the case. Several centuries ago, King Mondo’s first manufactured son fell in love with Archerina. She is the daughter of Mondo’s mortal enemy, King Aradon. The two eloped due to the fact that their father’s would never accept the marriage.
Jason: And now that his father’s gone, he’s back.
Zordon: Gasket and Archerina are a grave menace. It will take all of your powers to stop them!
~ Zordon regarding Gasket and Archerina.
Archerina, my darling! I can feel my magnificent size wearing off!
~ Prince Gasket's most infamous quote.

Prince Gasket is the oldest son of King Mondo, the former prince turned temporary ruler of the Machine Empire, the husband of Archerina and a major antagonist in Power Rangers Zeo. He served as the main antagonist between "Where in the World is Zeo Ranger V?" and "Another Song and Dance" as well as the joint main antagonist of the penultimate episode "Hawaii Zeo."

He is voiced by the show's producer Douglas Sloan.

Biography[]

Past[]

Prince Gasket was the first son built by King Mondo and Queen Machina and was his chosen heir since Prince Sprocket was built much later. However, Gasket eventually fell in love with Archerina; the daughter of Mondo's nemesis King Aradon and the two went into hiding due to their taboo relationship. King Mondo was so angry that he completely disowned his son and named Sprocket as his heir instead out of spite.

Zeo[]

In 1996, Prince Gasket arrives on Earth after King Mondo is destroyed in battle with the Zeo Power Rangers only to discover that Louie Kaboom has usurped and imprisoned Machina and Sprocket. Using Archerina's love spell arrows, they overthrow Louie and force him into a battle that destroys the usurper so Gasket and Archerina become the new leaders of the Machine Empire. One of Prince Gasket and Archerina's most notable plans is very soon after regaining control of the Machine Empire when he brainwashes Tommy Oliver into believing he is the Machine Empire's king and that the other Rangers are his enemies. Another plan of thier is when they trap the people of Earth in a time loop ala Groundhog Day so that they constantly relive the same day over and over. However, due to Tommy earlier having had his brain messed with by Gasket, he knew what was going on and foiled this plan. Soon enough though, King Mondo is rebuilt and the machine prince and Archerina flee from him.

The two return to Earth very soon after the death of the Impursonator and decide to work with Prince Sprocket to kill the Power Rangers though they don't realise that this is a ploy to get the Power Rangers to destroy them. Using some Cogs lent to them by Sprocket, they attack Ernie's Beachside Cafe and have Klank and Orbus grows them into giants after the Cogs are defeated. Despite thier considerable combined power, they are overwhelmed by the Zords and are seemingly killed off by the Zeo Ultrazord. However, they survive and try to attack Sprocket for attempting to get rid of Gasket but King Mondo arrives and the two flee from the Earth for good and are never heard from ever again.

In Space[]

What happened to Gasket and Archerina is unknown after they fled from Mondo since they are never heard from again and they are not members of the United Alliance of Evil nor do they aid in Dark Specter's invasion of the universe. However, they are presumed to have been vaporised by Zordon's Energy Wave since there was nothing redeemable about the two and they are not among the Machine Empire Remnants seen four years later.

Personality[]

Prince Gasket presented himself as extremely posh and upstanding being befitting his thick British accent. In reality, he was a vile sadist who liked to turn his enemies against them and mess with thier minds to his own gain as seen with his plans involving both the Chronosapios and the mansion.

Powers and Abilities[]

  • Durability: Gasket was able to survive the Zeo Ultrazord's finisher and exploding without a scratch.
  • Monster Creation: Gasket could create monsters at will as seen when he created the Mechaterpillar.
  • Teleportation: Gasket was able to teleport to any location at will.
    • Interplanetary Lasers: Gasket and Archerina fled Earth for the final time by jetting into space in large green lasers.
  • Extraordinary Jumper: Gasket could jump at incredible heights.
  • Energy Heart Form: Gasket could join with Archerina to form a green and pink energy heart and slam into thier enemies.
  • Expert Swordsman: Gasket was proficient in fighting with his sword.

  • Machine Sword: Gasket wielded a sword for combat.

Monsters[]

Trivia[]

  • Prince Gasket's Super Sentai counterpart was actually the same one as Sprocket since Gasket was originally an older version of Sprocket.
    • Because the Power Rangers crew cut out Louie Kaboom killing Sprocket due to its violence, and because Buldont became Kaiser Buldont by Emperor Bacchus Wrath/King Mondo sacrificing his life to upgrade his son but Mondo survived longer, they had to be turned into two different characters.
  • In Ohranger, Gasket and Archerina were the final antagonists as thier Zord fight was the final battle. In Zeo, they were the main antagonists of the penultimate episode with Mondo being the final antagonist of Zeo.
  • Gasket and Archerina were going to be among the villains in Amit Bhaumik's original planned adaptation of Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger dubbed Power Rangers Hexagon. According to the plan, Gasket and Archerina would have survived Zordon's Energy Wave and been the masters of many of the villains' robotic generals. However, not much more is known about it since the series never went further than the pitching stages.
    • These plans were ultimately abandoned when Disney decided to fire most of the people working on Power Rangers at the time, move production to New Zealand to reduce filming costs and to make Power Rangers Ninja Storm a standalone season to draw new viewers.
