Summoning

• "Super Express Bullet Train" and "Heavy Freight Train Derricrane" have easy conditions to Special Summon themselves from the hand, allowing them to be used as materials for this card. They also have effects that can be used after being detached, either recycling a Machine monster or destroying an opponent's card.

• Being a "Number" monster, "Astral Kuriboh" can be used to help summon this card in a Train deck. Covering this card's battle and quick effect vulnerability in the process.

• You can also Xyz Summon this card by using "Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force" on "Googly-Eyes Drum Dragon".

• This card can be Xyz Summoned with "Metal Reflect Slime", "Tragoedia", "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord", or "Andro Sphinx"/"Sphinx Teleia" in combination with "Pyramid of Light".

• This card can be Xyz Summoned by using "Gagaga Magician" and "Gagaga Sister" as Xyz Materials, as "Magician" can change its Level to 8, while "Sister" can change both monsters' Levels to the sum of their Levels.
• You can Special Summon "Exodius the Ultimate Forbidden Lord" and then Special Summon "Mirror Ladybug" to Xyz Summon this card with virtually no set-up. This can also be done with "Cyber Eltanin" instead of "Exodius", but you must have at least 1 LIGHT Machine in your Graveyard.
  • You also summon this card by special summoning "Rocket Arrow Express" and "Mirror Ladybug".

• You can use the effect of "Sephylon, the Ultimate Timelord" to help summon another Level 10 Fairy monster (e.g. "Metaion, the Timelord") to use as an Xyz material to summon this card.

• This card can be easily summoned with the "Mecha Phantom Beast" monsters.

• This card can be summoned by "Number 27: Dreadnought Dreadnoid", which also allows for many more materials than would be normally be available.

General

• Due to the fact that this card's protection effect can also be applied on the opponent's monster, it can be used to interrupt cards that requires certain interactions with the monster on the field to properly resolves (such as the recursion effect of "Meteonis Drytron") to resolves with no effect.
  • It can also be used to prevent the targeted monster from being used as a Fusion or Ritual Summon material.
  • If apply on a monster with an Equip card that were not equipped by its own effect, this will result into these Equip cards being sent to the GY.

• Equip "Xyz Unit" to this card to have a 5200 ATK beatstick and to make this card even harder to kill off. You can use "Limiter Removal" to bump the card's ATK to 6400 (10400 with "Xyz Unit" already equipped).

• "Heavy Forward" can be attached to this card to provide extra materials for this card's effect.

Countering

This card can be very difficult to get rid of due to its high ATK and DEF, as well as its quick effect-immunity effect that can be used on either players turn. Here are some ways to deal with this card:

• Chain "Fiendish Chain", "Compulsory Evacuation Device" or "Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit" when it activates its effect. Most Counter Trap Cards can also get rid of it easily.

• You can get rid of this card by using it as Fusion Material for "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" or Tributing it to Special Summon "Lava Golem", "Santa Claws", "Volcanic Queen", or any "Kaijus".

• "Number S39: Utopia the Lightning" can make short work of it with its effect.

• The ATK of "The Calibrator" will be inadvertently boosted by this card to 4500, which is high enough to strike down this card.

• If Synchro Summoned with only Synchro Monsters, "Assault Blackwing - Onimaru the Divine Thunder" can easily run it over with its last effect that boosts its ATK to 6000.

• "Bujin" Decks can use ATK-modifier cards such as "Bujingi Crane", "Bujingi Sinyou" or "Honest" to destroy this card by battle, but also supplement it with "Bujintervention" to eliminate all other copies of this card.
