Gadgetron Corporation

"Gadgetron is your one-stop shop for all your weapon, gadget, and ammunition needs. Gadgetron has vendors conveniently located on all inhabited worlds, and also in the entirely unhabited bogs of Trachea Five. We don't really know how that one got there. Engineering blames marketing, marketing blames legal and legal has been at a "conference" on the tropical planet of Bahamia for the last six months and they do not return our calls."

- Unnamed Gadgetron Employee

The Gadgetron Corporation, or usually just Gadgetron, was the main and largest gadget, and weaponry supplier in the Solana Galaxy. Directed from the Gadgetron Site on Kalebo III, the huge enterprise had Gadgetron vendors stationed on numerous planets. It had a supply station on at least the planet Barlow in the Bogon Galaxy, but when Ratchet and Clank visited the planet, they found the station in ruins. Gadgetron was also known for inventing the Z3000 hoverboard, The Hologuise, the VG9000 Game system and Nanotech.

Trivia

 * Gadgetron did not actually manufacture the weapons as they only produced them. Minton Incorporated were Gadgetron's main manufacturers. They were caught in licensing issues over the black-market gadget Hydro-Pack.
 * Gadgetron had lawyers called Brushling, Flynn and Culverhouse who have solved the licensing issues over the Hydro-Pack.
 * Gadgetron seemed to have less of an influence than Megacorp over their respective galaxies. Gadgetron only sold weapons, while Megacorp reached to domestic products and holo-vision shows like the Megacorp Games.
 * Gadgetrons brand colours changed from blue to orange in Up Your Arsenal. It was also indicative of the HUD colour scheme.
 * The RYNO V could have been made by Gadgetron.
 * In the absence of the Gadgetron company in the Future series, GrummelNet took its place.
 * Pieces of the RYNO IV and the RYNO V were found in Polaris indicating Gadgetron activity in that galaxy.
 * Gadgetron had more simple weapons at the times of Drek's demise like the Blaster and Bomb Glove. They also had simpler names.
 * Gadgetron were the ones who created the most powerful weapons in the series, the RYNOs.
