- “The Fix Is In!”
- —Sprocket's official catchphrase
Sprocket is a Goldling and one of the Tech Skylanders in Skylanders: Giants. Her Series 2 counterpart is called Heavy Duty Sprocket.
Background
Personality
Resourceful, Sprocket isn't one to sit back and let others do the work. She jumps in with both armored feet, creating solutions for every problem imaginable.[1]
Biography
Sprocket was raised with all the privileges of a rich, proper Goldling. But she cared little for fancy things. Instead, she spent most of her time growing up in her uncle's workshop, learning how to build and fix his many mechanical inventions. But everything changed on the day her uncle mysteriously vanished. When she eventually discovered that Kaos had been behind his disappearance, she constructed a battle suit and went after him, leaving the luxury and comfort of her family's wealth behind. From that moment on, Sprocket was dedicated to fighting the forces of evil, whilst never losing hope that she would reunite with her beloved uncle.
Story
History
All Goldlings are fabulously wealthy, and Sprocket is no exception. Despite being raised by a rich family though, she has no interest in money or fancy things. Her real love is building and fixing machines, which she learned to do in her uncle's workshop. She would have been happy tinkering away for the rest of her life, had Kaos not carried out an uncle-napping when no one was looking. Determined to rescue her mentor, Sprocket built herself a high-tech battle suit, grabbed the biggest wrench she could find, and set off to crack some heads.
Although equipped with all sorts of gadgets and weapons, Sprocket has never managed to find her uncle. She'll never give up trying though, and whenever the forces of Darkness try to get in her way, they always end up regretting it. Smart, sassy and heavily armed, Sprocket is on a mission to fix evil once and for all.[2]
Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers
Sprocket met with Master Eon in the Eternal Archives to see if Squirmgrub had found the location to the next fragment to the Mask of Power. However when they didn't see Squirmgrub in sight, they discovered that the Warrior Librarian hadn't reported that the Earth segment to the Mask of Power was found. Master Eon sent Sprocket to assist the Skylanders already at the Fantastic Fairy Fair where the segment to the Mask of Power currently was.
Gameplay
Sprocket uses both brains and brawn in battle. She can smack foes with her large wrench, and build machine gun turrets very quickly, that lock on to enemies automatically and shoot them. She can also deploy special mines that bounce in the air before exploding when enemies are near. She can even hop into her turrets which becomes a battle tank, where she can shoot enemies. In Terrafin battles the Boom Brothers, it is shown that she has a laser cutter in her battle suit which can easily cut through metal. Her skills in technology are far greater, as she was able to repair the escape pod on Trash Mountain very quickly.

Trivia
- A sprocket is a wheel with teeth, similar to a gear, which meshes with others of its kind through chains or tracks (like those on a bicycle).
- If Sprocket sets up a turret near Octavius in The Oracle, it will fire at him.
- In the alpha version of Skylanders: Giants, Sprocket went by the placeholder names of Engineer and Spark. She originally appeared as an elf instead of a Goldling, and therefore had green skin, pointed ears, and pupilless white eyes. Her armor was red, her wrench was golden, and a yellow wire connected the canister on her back to her arm. Her original catchphrase was "Fear the gear!"[3]
- Her tanks and turrets were originally gray with yellow accents, and she could fire missiles in an arc from a launcher attached to the side of her tanks.
- Her turrets initially fired on NPC characters[4], which is likely the reason why they still attack Octavius.
- During Giants's early development, Sprocket's abilities/upgrades were differently named and arranged.[5]
- "Wrench Whack" was called "Wrench Attack."
- "Turret Gun-O-Matic" was called "Auto Turret."
- "Auto Turret V2" was called "Auto Turret Mk.2."
- "2 Times the Turrets" was replaced by an upgrade called "MX3 Assault Tank," which enabled Sprocket's turrets to be manned as tanks.
- "Tanks a Lot!" was replaced by an upgrade called "Wrenchball," which had the same effect as Sprocket's Soul Gem ability.
- "Sprocket Combos" was called "Wrench Master."
- "Monkey Wrench" was called "SK5 Monkey Wrench."
- "All Mines" was called "Mine Deployment System Mk.3."
- "Mine Drop!" was called "Tank Mine Deployment System."
- "Exploding Shells" was called "HEAT Shells."
- Her Soul Gem ability was replaced by an upgrade called "Jurry Rigger," which allowed her to make repairs (restoring +25 HP) to a turret that she was facing.
- Sprocket is voiced by E.G. Daily, best known for the voice of Buttercup in The Powerpuff Girls, Tommy Pickles in Rugrats, and Julius in Julius Jr. (who just happens to be an inventor like Sprocket).
- She and Chill are the only Skylanders so far who don't have any basic upgrades for their primary attacks.
- Her Monkey Wrench upgrade adds +6 to damage in Swap Force.
- In her first artwork, Sprocket wore green goggles. But in both Giants and Swap Force, her goggles are black.
- Sprocket is one of the few Skylanders to use a vehicle for an attack (others include Fryno, Starcast, and Tread Head).
- She is the first female Tech Skylander in the series (the second being Gearshift).
- She, Fright Rider and Hot Dog are the only Giants-debut core Skylanders without any LightCore counterparts.
