Mechanicalchaser TP1-001

And a tie-in of sorts between last week and this week. At 1850, he was one of the stronger Machine monsters (and monsters overall) back in the day. Even though he's since been eclipsed by a few 1900 and 2000 monsters, he's still a strong monster for Machine-decks (the strongest 4 Star) I believe. He's a Normal Monster, so he has some support from the newer sets. Time may have dated him, causing for people to look for "newer models", but "Mechanicalchaser" is still a worthy monster.

Mechanical chaser used to be just about the best 4 star monster back when it first came out in TP1. all there was back then was 1800 beatsticks like la jinn and since he was just 50 above them he was the about the best one. He is a great part of a machine deck and will be for a long time until they finally bring out another machine beatstick. he is also a very valuable card, that could get you some really good money on Ebay or something. Rate it a 7.8/10.
 
I don't understand why they can't make Machine Players a decent 1900 ATK'er so they wouldn't have to depend on this rather poor example of a "beat stick" for heavy support.

Yeah. Hopefully sometime soon they come out with one. It would be a great boost for machine decks. They'll finally have something that can go head-to-head with other type 1900 atk'ers. Until Dark Crisis, not even fiends had a 1900 atk'er.
 
Dragons have Luster and Spear dragon,
Fiends have Slate Warrior and Archfiend Soldier,
Spellcasters have Skilled Dark Magician and Gemini Elf,
Warriors have Mystic Swordsman LV4,

Machines really could use something to even it up a bit. With all the support machines were getting in SOD/RDS I'm suprised there wasn't any non tribute heavy hitters for them too.
 
Quite upsetting since the majority of those types you mention have at least TWO non-tribute beatsticks.

Even Beast have a beatstick. Berserk Gorilla. Wait. Is it beast or beast-warrior? Either way, every other type is slowly getting its own 1900/2000 heavy hitter. We're getting left in the dust as far as machines are concerned.
 
I don't personally run Machines but I think it woul dbe nice if all decks were given equal support, but it seems Fiends, Spellcasters and Warriors always get the best cards.
 
At the moment I don't run a machine deck myself but I do plan to eventually. However, I think I'll wait until I see some better support come out for machines. And you are correct about Fiends, Spellcasters and Warriors getting the best cards (not that I mind too much as far as fiends are concerned). Don't really see ground breaking cards in other sub-types as much as the aforementioned ones.
 
next 1900 atker is for insects.

and Fusiller dragon was and is a preaty dope machine.

even though at non tribute its 1400 there are defenetly ways of getting around it.

machines have support, may not have beat stick ( yea give more fuel to the beatdown fire ) but they do have speed and back up.

support platform, Limiter, etc...

JInzo for goodness sakes, 2 negators were given to machines.


but in all actually we dont really need more beatsticks.

currently we have the following.

3x Goblin attack force
3x Giant orc
3x Berserk Gorilla
3x Gemini Elf
3x Toon Gemini Elf
3x Skilled Dark magician
3x Archfiend Soldier
3x Slate Warrior
3x Spear Dragon

not to mention beatdown decks will be getting, death Destruction Virus of magic and the New 1900 atk insect.

dude, beatdown decks will be hard as nails to kill

Thunder Nyan Nyan. Rocks in an all Light deck.
 
Yeah, I suppose we do have enough beatsticks. I doubt the list will stop with the next one coming out. With that one six sub-types will have a beatstick. There are still quite a few types that don't have one.

And you are correct about where machines lack strength they make up for in support.

Oh yeah. The Thunder Nyan Nyan. Ok so that's seven types that have a beatsick. We're getting there. Forgot all about it because of its effect but in light deck that won't be a problem.
 
yea i forgot about her for some reason.

but yea, like i said machine got some good stuff going.

the whole Limiter + heavy mech support can seriosuly make BLS run home to its dragon.

we know we wont stop getting beatsticks, but man there needs to be stop on that bs sometime soon.

also we cant forget about the half hitters, Susa Soldier, and that one Archfiend that is 2000atk aswell.

also we cant forget about the zombyra which comes good with that one card skill drain.
 
Quite a few cards benefit skill drain. Giant orcs, GAF's, and many others. There's a whole deck around that card. Many beatsticks that have serious conditions/flaws to their overwhelming strength suddenly become quite powerful with that card in play.

Yeah, fiends do have that half-hitter archfiend named Shadowknight but its LP cost is the highest among the archfiends. Not a good choice unless your using Pandemonium/ Lair of Ten Thousands Demon Lords (Jap's name is better)

Odds are we won't stop seeing beatsticks come out anytime soon. But yeah, there are too many. Some sub-types have more than one for goodness sake. Those should've gone to the sub-types that don't even have one if at all.
 
ooo i almost forgot, Granadora, which is usefull in 2 situations.

1 you summon and gain 1000lp
2. have a 1900atker on the field
2. if you have barrel behind the door, when granadora gets destroyed your opponent will take the 2k damage instead of your self.
 
It's 1850 for a reason people (I'm about to speculate). it's 1850 because of the machine support cards... Like Limiter. The point of the 1850 is so that it is easy to kill, with Limiter removal it would be too powerful and dangerous to be allowed to stay on the field that long. It's -50 attack is to counteract it's greatness.

BTW people, it's coming out as a common in DB2
