'''Machine''' ({{Ruby|機|き}}{{Ruby|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). 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 [[Attribute]]s.
Machine monsters and their support are typically traditionally associated with pushing for extremely high [[ATK]], with the effects of cards like "[[Power Bond]]", "[[Limiter Removal]]", or "[[Train Connection]]". High-Level , but Machine monsters are also famous for either having either absurdly high [[Original ATK and DEF|original ATK]] such as most members a whole covers a multitude of the [[Supercolossal]] playstyles and effects, both offensive (e.g. [[Train]] series, very strong protection effects such as ) and defensive (e.g. "[[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. While there are a wide array of Machine archetypes and series with diverse playstyles, many of the prominent Machine themes such as "[[Cyber Dragon]]" and [[Train]] are usually geared towards offensive gameplay, involving neutralizing the opponent's threats (usually via mass removal effect) to make way for them to deal a large amount of damage; 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. A recurring theme among Machine Decks regardless of the playstyle is their ability to swarm the field with low-level monsters that often has no offensive ability on its own, but capable of helping the player summoning a single strong boss monster. In addition, many Machine monsters also provide "recycle" ability, often while in [[Graveyard]], either by being summoned as an extra material, or trigger a search and/or recovery effect there.
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.
