Overview

The Machine Type represents various machineries, including (but not limited to) robots, automata, androids, vehicles, and general-purpose machines. Many appear to be classical humanoid robots (such as "Machine King"), while some are completely life-like (such as "Amazement Assistant Delia"), and others yet are very geometric (such as "Shreddder"). Machines may also resemble non-human living beings, such as many members of the "Cyber" archetype being based on animals and creatures (mostly dragons). However, not all robotic/mechanical monsters are fall under the Machine banner, with many themes of robotic/mechanical monsters being classified as other Types. The majority of Machine monsters are EARTH, DARK, or LIGHT, although there are Machines for each of the six primary Attributes.

Machine monsters and their support are traditionally associated with pushing for extremely high ATK, with the effects of cards like "Power Bond", "Limiter Removal", or "Train Connection", but Machine as a whole covers a multitude of playstyles and effects, both offensive (e.g. Train) and defensive (e.g. "Orcust"). "Cyber Dragon", one of the most influential monsters in the history of the OCG/TCG metagame's development, is a Machine monster.

In the early parts of of the original manga and anime, Machine monsters inherently had the special ability of being immunite against all type of magic, including attacks from magic users. The card "Everlasting Alloy" was partly made in reference to this fact.
