Overview

The Machine-Type represents various machineries, including but not limited to robots, automata, androids, and general-purpose machines. Some appear to be classically humanoid robots (such as "Machine King"), while others are absurdly humanoid (such as "Amazement Assistant Delia"), and others yet are simpler in shape (such as "Shreddder"). Machines may also resemble non-human living beings, such as members of the "Cyber" archetype. Most Machine monsters come in EARTH, DARK, or LIGHT, although there are Machines for each of the six primary Attributes.

Machine monsters and support are typically associated with pushing for extremely high ATK, with the effects of cards like "Power Bond", "Limiter Removal", or "Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe". High-level Machine monsters are also famous for either having absurdly high original ATK such as most members of the Supercolossal and Train series, very strong protection effects such as "Apoqliphort Towers" or "Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus", or great removal effect such as "Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star" or "Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder". "Cyber Dragon", one of the most influential monsters in the history of the OCG/TCG metagame's development, is a Machine monster.

While there are a wide array of Machine Archetypes and Series with diverse playstyle. Many of the prominent Machine themes such as "Cyber Dragon" and Train were usually geared towards offensive gameplay, usually involves neutralizing the opponent's threats (usually via mass removal effect) to make way for them to deal a large amount of damage. While some others such as "Machina" and "Orcust" focus on defensive grind game and utilizing various disruption effect to outlast the opponent before quickly finish them off.

It should be noted that not all robotic/mechanical monsters are Machine or Cyberse type. Examples of mechanical or robotic monsters that aren't Machine-Type or Cyberse-Type include, but aren't limited to: the "Rokket" and "Borrel" monsters, "Raidraptors", the "Warrior" monsters, and a many of the "Scrap" Monsters.
