*"[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" cannot be Special Summoned, except by [[Fusion Summon]]. After it is Fusion Summoned, if it is sent to the Graveyard, it cannot be Special Sumoned with "[[Monster Reborn]]".<ref name="No.6734">[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=4&cid=6734&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: Chimeratech Overdragon</ref>
*The "''When this card is Fusion Summoned: [[Send]] all other cards you [[control]] to the [[Graveyard]].''" effect is a [[Trigger Effect]]. (It is a mandatory effect that is activated when "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" is Fusion Summoned. It does not target.)<ref name="No.6734"/>
*The "''The [[original ATK and DEF]] of this card each become equal to the number of [[Fusion Material Monster]]s used for its Fusion Summon x 800.''" effect is a [[Continuous Effect]].<ref name="No.6734"/>
*The "''Each [[turn]], this card can [[attack]] your opponent's monsters a number of times equal to the number of Fusion Material Monsters used for its Fusion Summon.''" effect is a [[Continuous Effect]]. (After this card attacked a monster using this effect, it cannot attack your opponent directly. After this card attacked your opponent directly, it cannot attack a monster.)<ref name="No.6734"/>
*The ATK of "[[Fog King]]" is the combined [[original ATK]] of the Tributed monsters after they were Tributed. If "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]", "[[Megarock Dragon]]" or "[[King of the Skull Servants]]" is Tributed, "?" ATK is treated as 0, so "[[Fog King]]" will have 0 ATK.<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=6998&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: When Tributing a monster whose original ATK has changed - like "Megarock Dragon" - for "Fog King", what does the ATK become?</ref>
*If "[[Jinzo]]" and "[[Jinzo - Returner]]" are sent to the Graveyard simultaneously by "[[Future Fusion]]" to Special Summon "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]", you can activate the effect of "[[Jinzo - Returner]]" and Special Summon the sent "[[Jinzo]]".<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=7269&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: When "Jinzo" and "Jinzo - Returner" are sent to the Graveyard simultaneously, can "Jinzo" be Special Summoned?</ref>
*If a "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" that was Fusion Summoned using 3 monsters as Fusion Materials is targeted by "[[Shrink]]", its original ATK (2400) is halved (1200 ATK). When the turn ends, the effect of "[[Shrink]]" is no longer applied, and the ATK of "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" returns to 2400.<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=8230&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: If "Shrink" targets "Chimeratech Overdragon", what happens to its ATK?</ref>
*"[[Grave of the Super Ancient Organism]]" will also prevent the [[activation]] of mandatory effects, such as the Trigger Effect of "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" which sends all cards on your field to the Graveyard.<ref>[http://www.db.yugioh-card.com/yugiohdb/faq_search.action?ope=5&fid=8442&request_locale=ja Konami OCG Card Database]: If "Chimeratech Overdragon" is Fusion Summoned after "Grave of the Super Ancient Organism" was activated, does its effect activate?</ref>
==Previously Official Rulings==
{{Previously Official Rulings |UDE's Rulings =
* When you [[Fusion Summon]] this card you can use a substitute, such as "[[King of the Swamp]]", for the "[[Cyber Dragon]]", but not for the [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monsters. That means you can use a maximum of 1 substitute monster in the [[Fusion Summon]].
* You can activate "[[De-Fusion]]" and [[target]] "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]", but you can only [[Special Summon]] the [[Fusion Material Monsters]] if you have enough vacant [[Monster Card Zones]] for ALL of the [[Fusion Material Monsters]] you used.
* If this card is [[Special Summon]]ed by the effect of "[[Future Fusion]]" while you have "[[Cyber Phoenix]]" in [[Attack Position]], when this card's effect sends all other cards you [[control]] to the Graveyard "[[Future Fusion]]" is still being [[negate]]d, so the "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" will not be destroyed and remains on the field.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080603072726/http:/entertainment.upperdeck.com/COMMUNITY/forums/thread/809515.aspx UDE Judge List]: Future Fusion + Cyber Phoenix + Chimeratech Overdragon</ref> ===Judge List Rulings===* If "[[Skill Drain]]" is activated, "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" will have its ATK reduced to 0 and cannot attack multiple monsters.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071102225810/entertainment.upperdeck.com/community/forums/thread/844199.aspx UDE Judge List]: Skill Drain's impact on monsters with variable ATK and/or DEF</ref> * After "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" attacks a monster(s) with its effect, it cannot attack your opponent's Life Points directly.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071113124250/http:/entertainment.upperdeck.com/COMMUNITY/forums/thread/849427.aspx UDE Judge List]: chimeratech overdragon attacking all monster</ref>
===Mentions in Other Rulings===
* '''[[Card Rulings:Revoke Fusion|Revoke Fusion]]''': You cannot Special Summon a [[Fusion Material Monster]] that is not specified by name. Example: You cannot select "[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]" with "[[Revoke Fusion]]" and Special Summon a "[[Blowback Dragon]]", but you can Special Summon a "[[Cyber Dragon]]".
* '''[[Card Rulings:Shrink|Shrink]]''': If “[[Shrink]]” affects a monster whose original ATK is set by its effect when it is Summoned, like “[[Maju Garzett]]”, “[[Chimeratech Overdragon]]” or “[[Megarock Dragon]]”, that monster’s ATK will become 0, and remain 0 even after the effect of “[[Shrink]]” wears off.
