Chimeratech Overdragon

Can someone please explain to me this cards second effect of attacking multiple targets. Can it attack the number of times equal to the number of cards you used to fusion summon it? or can it attack up to the number of times equal to the number of monsters on your opponents side of the field assuming you used more monsters to fuse than the number of monsters on your opponents side of the field. (sorry for the confusion)
 
It can attack a number of monsters equal to the number of cards used to fuse it. If you use 8 monsters to fuse it, you can attack 8 monsters (or 1 monster 8 times if they have an Attack Position "Spirit Reaper" on their side of the field).
 
so lets say there are 5 monsters on your opponents side, and you use 8 monsters to fuse, after killing the five monsters, can you use you attack direct up to 3 more times?

and

lets say the opponent has 5 monsters and you use 6 fusions to summon overdragon, after killing your opponents five monsters, your opponent for some reason call of the haunts another monster still during your battle phase, can you use your 6th attack to attack the new monster that came out with call of the haunt?
 
Since it's not working in the Autolinking yet...

This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. When this card is Fusion Summoned, send all the cards on your side of the field to the Graveyard except this card. The original ATK and DEF of this card become the number of Fusion Material Monsters you used for the Fusion Summon of this card x 800 points. This card can attack as many of your opponent's monsters each turn as the number of Fusion Material Monsters you used for the Fusion Summon of this card.
I bolded the part of interest. It says you can attack as many of your opponent's monsters. It does not say you can attack as many times. He's like an "Asura Priest". If you attack all the monsters, then you can't attack directly. If you attack directly, then you can't attack any monsters.

If you attack directly, you only get one attack, no matter how many monsters you used to Fusion Summon him.

If you used 10 monsters and they had 5 monsters on the field, including a face-up attack position "Spirit Reaper", then you have a some choices. You can attack all the monsters, and then the "Spirit Reaper" 6 times, or just the "Spirit Reaper" 10 times, etc...


Hope this helps!

They should post a ruling for this. Cause since it's not on the rule list, and thus sometimes, I got ruled out that Chimeratech can attack multiple monsters, and then attack directly once. (I'm sure if you "ask a question" you'll get the answer, but it's not on the actual ruling listings one Netrep/UDE/etc)
 
So it's not a matter of rulings. It's a matter of game mechanics. The effect grants Chimeratech an attack per monster used. But this doesn't give it additional attack outside of that provision.

Because people might still try to misread it, the emboldened text means it has these attacks in place of its normal attack (as allowed by the rules). NOT in addition to.

But if (and ONLY if) there are no monsters to attack, it's allowed one (1) single attack (at the Life Points) instead.

As mentioned, it's just like Asura Priest or Ultimate Tyranno.

And since no one gave you a direct answer, yes-if you use 6 monsters to fuse Chimeratech and your opponent uses Call of the Haunted to special summon a monster after you attacked the first 5, you can attack the monster that was just special summoned.
