The Battlesphere is kept in a microwave in the abandoned airplane that serves as Gadget Hackwrench's home prior to her joining the Rescue Rangers. Presumably, she built it at the same time and for the same purpose as her Salesmen Traps.
Canonical Information
Construction
The Battlesphere's base is two metal colanders. One is turned upside-down and placed on the other to form a sphere. A window is set in a gap between the two colanders on the front of the Battlesphere. The Battlesphere's moves using two small black wheels in front and two inverted plunger heads in back, all four attached to the Battlesphere by rods. Although it has four wheels, the Battlesphere uses them as feet and moves as a quadruped. The bottom of the Battlesphere has a hatch which opens into the cockpit. When open, the viewer can only see a bright light, meaning that either the artists didn't want to draw an interior or Gadget went overboard on lighting the cockpit. It should be noted that Gadget is wearing tinted goggles when she emerges from the Battlesphere.

Episodes
The Battlesphere is seen only in To the Rescue (Part 3). It is not directly referred to in the episode dialogue; the name "Battlesphere" is presumably fan-made.
