Madame Gasket
- Voiced by: Jim Broadbent
Madame Gasket is the mother of Ratchet and the true mastermind behind Ratchet's plot to take over Robot City. She owns an underground chop shop for the outmodes collected by her sweepers. Oblivious to this herself, she is also made out of "outmode" material. Despite not appearing much in the film, it is suggested that she is the controlling force that directs an otherwise weak and dim-witted Ratchet, whom she inspires with her own power-hungry ideas and whom she uses as a tool. During the film's climax she is overconfident about her army's power Ratchet has created; she is about to order her armies of Chop Shop Workers and huge Sweepers/Choppers to attack on the protagonists when Piper comes to the rescue, along with all the outmodes that Rodney repaired. During the battle when Madame Gasket attempts to finish Bigweld off, she is outfought by the Wonderbot and it throws her into her furnace, destroying her.
She is voiced by Jim Broadbent. It is presumably because of this, as well as her hideous appearance, that Fender (as well as presumably the other robots) mistakes her as a male upon first sight.

Famous quotes containing the word madame:
“And since the average lifetime—the relative longevity—is far greater for memories of poetic sensations than for those of heartbreaks, since the very long time that the grief I felt then because of Gilbert, it has been outlived by the pleasure I feel, whenever I wish to read, as in a sort of sundial, the minutes between twelve fifteen and one o’clock, in the month of May, upon remembering myself chatting ... with Madame Swann under the reflection of a cradle of wisteria.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
