The Machine-Type represents various machineries, including but not limited to robots, automata, androids, and general-purpose machines. Some appear to be classically humanoid robots (such as "[[Machine King]]"), while others are absurdly humanoid (such as "[[Amazement Assistant Delia]]"), and others yet are simpler in shape (such as "[[Shreddder]]"). Machines may also resemble non-human living beings, such as members of the "[[Cyber]]" archetype. Most Machine monsters come in [[EARTH]], [[DARK]], or [[LIGHT]], although there are Machines for each of the six primary [[Attribute]]s.

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). The majority of Machine monsters are [[EARTH]], [[DARK]], or [[LIGHT]], although there are Machines for each of the six primary [[Attribute]]s.

Machine monsters and support are typically associated with pushing for extremely high [[ATK]], with the effects of cards like "[[Power Bond]]", "[[Limiter Removal]]", or "[[Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Juggernaut Liebe]]". High-level Machine monsters are also famous for either having absurdly high [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] such as most members of the [[Supercolossal]] and [[Train]] series, very strong protection effects such as "[[Apoqliphort Towers]]" or "[[Super Quantal Mech King Great Magnus]]", or great removal effect such as "[[Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star]]" or "[[Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder]]". "[[Cyber Dragon]]", one of the most influential monsters in the history of the ''OCG''/''TCG'' metagame's development, is a Machine monster.

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.
  
−
While there are a wide array of Machine Archetypes and Series with diverse playstyle. Many of the prominent Machine themes such as "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and [[Train]] were usually geared towards offensive gameplay, usually involves neutralizing the opponent's threats (usually via mass removal effect) to make way for them to deal a large amount of damage. While some others such as "[[Machina]]" and "[[Orcust]]" focus on defensive grind game and utilizing various disruption effect to outlast the opponent before quickly finish them off.

In the early parts of of the original [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], Machine monsters inherently had the special ability of being immunite against all type of [[Spell Card|magic]], including attacks from [[Spellcaster|magic users]]. The card "[[Everlasting Alloy]]" was partly made in reference to this fact.

It should be noted that not all robotic/mechanical monsters are Machine or [[Cyberse]] type. Examples of robotic/mechanical monsters that aren't Machine-Type or [[Cyberse]]-Type include, but aren't limited to: the "[[Rokket]]" and "[[Borrel]]" monsters, the "[[Raidraptor]]s", the "[[Warrior (archetype)|Warrior]]s", and many of the "[[Scrap]]" monsters.

This article is about the Type. For the card part in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories, see "Machine" (card part).
Ancient Gear Golem
"Ancient Gear Golem", a Machine monster.

Machine (機（き）械（かい） Kikai) is a Type of Monster. It debuted in Vol.2 in OCG, Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon in the TCG, and Deck Mod Pack: Hyperspeed Rush Road!! in Rush Duel.

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). 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.
