"Machina" monsters were used by [[Kirk Dixon]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' manga, [[Blister]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, and [[Bolt Tanner (manga)|Bolt Tanner]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' manga.Jerome McHale explained in a [http://www.pojo.biz/board/showpost.php?p=15840093&postcount=67 post on Pojo] that the archetype's name was localized in the ''[[TCG]]'' name to "Machina" from "Machiners" because the former name "clearly demonstrates that these are Machine monsters, not other [[Type]]s of monsters that do work on machines".==Lore=={{main|The Valuable Book EX card storylines#No. 09: Machina}}==Members==The "Machina" monsters can be divided into four groups of monsters based on their order of release. Each group of monsters share similar traits and effects, and some later members are [[counterpart]]s of earlier ones.{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"! colspan="2" | Machina! rowspan="2" | Year of release (''[[OCG]]'')|-!

These Machina effect varies between removal and negate effect of "[[Machina Fortress]]", "[[Machina Citadel]]" and "[[Machina Ruinforce]]" to replacing current Machina such as "[[Machina Air Raider]]" and "[[Machina Irradiator]]" and "[[Machina Megaform]]".* Lower level Machina that help protect, mil, search and swarm the higher level Machina.The only exception to this rule is "[[Machina Metalcruncher]]" which is a hybrid between these two types being able to be normal summon to search out other Machina and being good discard so it could be bring back with higher ATK with it's effect.
