Card Appearances:Ancient Gear Golem

"Ancient Gear Golem":

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

This card is one of Vellian Crowler's signature cards. He first summoned this card in his duel against Jaden Yuki by sacrificing the two Wicked Tokens created from two Statue of the Wicked cards being destroyed by Heavy Storm. This card was then used to destroy Jaden's Elemental Hero Avian with this card's effect inflicting Piercing Damage to Jaden. Next turn this card destroyed Winged Kuriboh, but Jaden took no Battle Damage from the attack because of the effect of "Winged Kuriboh". This card was then destroyed by Jaden's Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, whose ATK had been bolstered by Skyscraper, winning Jaden the duel.

Dimitri was seen using this card in a duel against Syrus Truesdale as part of his imitation of Crowler's deck. He summoned it in the exact same way as Crowler did when he dueled Jaden, using Statue of the Wicked and Heavy Storm. He then sent it to attack Syrus' Jetroid. Syrus, however then activated Jetroid's effect and activated Magic Cylinder from his hand, negating the attack and inflicting damage to Dimitri equal to this card's ATK, winning Syrus the duel.

Crowler was next seen using this card in his duel against Camula. He summoned it with no Tributes by sending Ancient Gear Castle (which had two counters) to the Graveyard. This card then attacks Vampire Bat, but Camula discards another "Vampire Bat" to prevent the first copy's destruction. However she still took Battle Damage from the attack. This card was later destroyed by Camula's Vampire Genesis who was powered up by the effect of "Vampire Bat".

During his duel against Chumley Huffington, Crowler summoned this card on his opening turn by sacrificing two Ancient Gears (one copy was summoned by Magnet Circle LV2 while the other was summoned via the first copy's effect). It then destroyed Chumley's "Des Koala" with this card's effect inflicting Piercing Damage to Chumley. Next turn this card destroyed Eucalyptus Mole with this card's effect inflicting Piercing Damage to Chumley. This card is then destroyed by Chumley's Big Koala affected by "Wild Nature's Release". Crowler later summoned a second one with no Tributes via Ancient Gear Factory's effect. That copy was then used to destroy "Big Koala". This card is later weakened by the effect of Chumley's Ayers Rock Sunrise. Chumley then sent his Master of Oz to attack this card, but Crowler then activates Limiter Removal, doubling this card's ATK. This card then counterattacked and destroyed "Master of Oz", winning Crowler the duel.

Crowler uses this card during his duel with Jean-Louis Bonaparte as well as during the three-way duel between himself, Bonaparte and Maximillion Pegasus.
He is briefly seen using this card after being turned into a Duel Ghoul.

This card's last appearance was in Crowler's second duel against Jaden. This time, he summoned three of them by using Spell Gear and sacrificing all three of his Ancient Gear Soldiers. The three copies destroyed Jaden's Elemental Hero Sparkman, Elemental Hero Clayman, and Elemental Hero Wildheart all at once. Jaden later destroyed one of them with Elemental Hero Flare Neos, but Crowler later returned it to his hand using Ancient Gear Workshop and fused all three copies into the Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem. After Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem was destroyed, Crowler used its effect and brought a copy of this card back onto the field, where it was destroyed by Elemental Hero Flame Wingman, winning Jaden the duel and mirroring the end of Crowler and Jaden's first duel, a coincidence not lost upon Crowler.

This card's attack name is Mechanized Meleé in the English dub and Ultimate Pound in the original.

This card appeared in Episode 67. Heitmann uses it against Yusei to prove that a duelist who uses low level monsters is a low level duelist, but he lost the Duel on Yusei's second turn.
- Heitmann stated that the Ancient Gear deck is a special Vintage Deck that only the elite instructors at Duel Academy are allowed to use.
