"Deskbot", known as "Bunborg" (ブンボーグ Bunbōgu) in the Japanese version, is an archetype of EARTH Machine-Type monsters with 500 ATK and 500 DEF. They are one of each Leveled monsters that support Machine-Type monsters in general, with a swarm strategy and effects that increase their ATK and DEF.
Design
Each "Deskbot" monster is based on office supplies. They wear them as their armor or use them as weapons.

---|---|
Deskbot 001 | Pen nibs, mechanical pencil, lead, pencil sharpener, scissors, compass, pen |
Deskbot 002 | Pens, correction tape |
Deskbot 003 | Protractor, ruler, compass, tape measures, spirit levels |
Deskbot 004 | Watercolor paint, colored pens, colored pencils, paintbrushes, palette, paint rollers |
Deskbot 005 | Whiteboard markers, tape dispensers, tapes |
Deskbot 006 | Staplers, perforator, thumb tacks, binder clips, brass fasteners |
Deskbot 007 | Scissors, retractable art knife |

Playing style
As mentioned above, "Deskbot" monsters can swarm and boost ATK easily. "Deskbot 001" boosts its own ATK and can special summon itself from the graveyard; "Deskbot 002" boosts your other Machine-Type monsters' ATK and DEF, and can add "Deskbot" cards from the deck to the hand; and "Deskbot 003" special summons a "Deskbot" from the deck upon normal summon, along with being able to grant a boost to a "Deskbot" once per turn.
With all this in mind, it's clear that the "Deskbot" strategy is geared toward large swarms leading to OTKs. They can make use of excellent Machine support cards like "Machine Duplication" and "Limiter Removal", as well as other swarm cards like "Inferno Reckless Summon" and other ATK-boosters like "Solidarity" or "United We Stand". Meanwhile, they can also use "Deskbot 001" to perform Synchro Summons, since it's a Tuner monster.
