}}
'''"Reactor"''' (リアクター ''Riakutā'') is an [[archetype]] of [[Machine]] [[Monster Card|monsters]] from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. They are used by [[Greiger]] in the anime. Their effects inflict 800 [[Effect Damage|damage]] to the opponent when they play a particular type of card. All Reactors except "[[Summon Reactor・SK]]" [[destroy]] the designated card, but none of the "Reactors" [[negate]] the effect of the card.
The lettered suffixes of "[[Summon Reactor・SK]]", "[[Trap Reactor・Y FI]]", and "[[Spell Reactor・RE]]" spell out "SKY FIRE". Together they combine to Summon "[[Flying Fortress SKY FIRE]]". In the Japanese version, the Reactors are called "Summon Reactor・AI", "Trap Reactor・RR", and "Magic Reactor・AID". Their suffixes spell "AIRRAID", while "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" is "Giant Bomber Airraid".
==Playing style==
The use effects of the "ReactorsSpell Reactor" can force an opponent into a difficult situation, especially when multiple and the "ReactorsTrap Reactor" are on monster destroy a card of the particular card type and inflict 800 [[Playing FieldEffect Damage|fielddamage]]to the opponent. Simply playing cards will cause "Summon Reactor" instead does 800 damage when the opponent to take damage, summons and has the [[Card effect|ability to negate one attack. While those effects]] give "Reactors" some nice destructive power, none of the "Reactors" destroying them will make playing [[Equip Card|Equipnegate]]the effects of the destroyed cards, making them only useful against [[Continuous CardsSpell|ContinuousSpells]] and /[[Field Spell CardContinuous Trap|Field CardsTraps]] very difficult. This can be especially detrimental to , [[Different DimensionEquip Spell|Equip Spells]], or [[Sacred BeastField Spell|"Uria" and "Hamon"Field Spells]]. This, however, doesn't necessarily make them flawed, since this makes "[[Volcanic]]Reactors" and other Decks effective against decks that rely on such cards. The main weakness of "Reactors" is that ; and since newer archetypes tend to get incredible Field Spells, making the lower-[[Level]] monsters have a survivability issue (which opponent think twice about playing them is partially mitigated by "[[Fake Explosion]]"), so to be effective certainly a Deck involving "Reactors" must rely upon cards that can block or stall an opponent's [[attack]]s until "[[Flying Fortress SKY FIRE]]" can be Summoned. Both can be Summoned with "[[Mystic Tomato]]", being [[DARK]] monstersway of generating pressure.
On the plus side, all of the three "Reactors" are DARK Attribute, which grants access to a plethora of useful options: "[[Dark Armed Dragon]]" might be very useful in tight situations, while "[[The Dark FlattopCreator]]" provides an easier method can recycle the "Reactors" for swarming, effects and fighting power. "[[Phantom of Chaos]]" can find use in the deck, since it's the effect to Special Summon mimic a "Reactor" helps summoning "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" after it is destroyed. Every DARK deck has access to "[[Allure of Darkness]]", helping with the consistency issues the deck undoubtably has. For easier summoning of both "Dark Armed Dragon" and "The Dark Creator" cards like "[[Card Destruction]]", "[[Dark World Dealings]]" or "[[Foolish Burial]]" can be used; this also allows for an easier Summon of the "Summon Reactor" via revival effects such as "[[Monster Reborn]]". The DARK Warrior engine can be opted for, with "[[Dark Grepher]]" and "[[Armageddon Knight]]" filling the GY further and "[[Reinforcement of the Army]]" functioning as another consistency tool.
Since the "Reactors" have good field controlare also Machines, they would be good certain other cards come into mind to strategize with. "[[Limiter Removal]]" is a must in field control any Machine-based Decksdeck that attacks the opponent and can also be an out to your opponent's bigger monsters. However they would take up most of "[[Iron Call]]" is another option to get a monster back from the card spacesGY, so your main purpose of the both allowing for [[Xyz Summon|Xyz]] or [[Link Summon|Link Summons]] as well as bringing a "ReactorsReactor" should be getting back to get to "SKY FIRE" out. "[[Black Salvo]]" is another DARK Machine monster, which also brings Machine monsters in the GY back to life, allowing for a number of Summoning options.; unfortunately, both "Iron Call" and "Black Salvo" cannot choose "Summon Reactor" as a target.
"[[Instant Fusion]]" allows this deck to have a few more tricks up its sleeve: By summoning "[[Panzer Dragon]]", you get an easy "Dark Flattop" if combined with "Black Salvo"; if combined with another Level 5 monster such as "[[Cyber Dragon]]" or "Summon Reactor", the choices are "[[Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech]]" or "[[Cyber Dragon Nova]]". If a very pesky monster lingers on the opponent's side of the field, just summon "[[Thousand-Eyes Restrict]]" and scoop it up with no further issue. "[[Reasoning]]" also seems to be a valid option, since the deck features the Levels 3, 4, 5 and 8; just keep in mind that showing a "Flying Fortress SKY FIRE" via "Reasoning" makes it unretrievable. A possible solution to the Beatdown problem can be found in "''[[Legendary Duelists: Ancient Millennium]]''": "[[Heavy Metal Raiders]]" makes the "Reactors" sturdier in battle while giving them ATK boosts and the destruction effects can net you a number of extra monsters if used correctly. "[[BM-4 Blast Spider]]" triggers "Heavy Metal Raiders", brings another destruction effect to the party and even supports the burn damage idea. Lastly, "[[Desperado Barrel Dragon]]" further supports the aforementioned strategies with more destruction effect, bringing a solid 2800 ATK to the fight, and all the while being extremely easy to summon. ===Recommended Cards=== {{Decklist|Recommended CardsDeck
