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 associated with pushing for extremely high [[ATK]], with the effects of cards like "[[Power Bond]]", "[[Limiter Removal]]", or "[[Train Connection]]". High-Level Machine monsters are also famous for either having either 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.

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/supports also provide "recycle" ability, often using [[Graveyard]], either by summoning them as an extra material, or trigger a search and/or recovery effect there.

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.

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.
