• This card can be searched by "Geargiagear", "Geargiarsenal", "Geargiarmor", "Gear Gigant X", "Ancient Gear Box", "Machine Duplication", "Infinitrack River Stormer", "Clockwork Night", "Machina Metalcruncher", "Urgent Schedule", "Machina Armored Unit", "UFOroid", "Biofalcon", "Aussa the Earth Charmer, Immovable", "Giant Rat", "BOXer", "Frontline Observer", "Sphere of Chaos", "Serpentine Princess", "Battle Royal Mode - Joining", "Vampire Dragon", "Rescue Ferret", "Umbramirage the Elemental Lord", "Sangan", "Witch of the Black Forest", and other generic searchers.

• Summon "Karakuri Soldier mdl 236 "Nisamu"", "Minefieldriller", "UFO Turtle", "Meklord Army of Skiel", "Genex Searcher", "R-Genex Ultimum", "Mecha-Dog Marron" or "Jade Knight" since their effects activate in the Graveyard and will work anyway.

• This card is the choice target of the Summoning effect of "Gear Gigant X".
  • You can easily dump it to the grave by using the effect of "Geargiarsenal" to Special Summon it, then Tributing it to revive "Geargiarsenal".
  • You can discard it as part of the Summoning cost of "Machina Fortress".

• Use it to Synchro Summon with "Road Synchron" to keep its Level at 4.

• Revive "Meklord Army of Granel" while "The Resolute Meklord Army" is out; the negation will be redundant.

• Note that "Koa'ki Meiru Powerhand" has a Maintenance Cost which cannot be negated, so it is not a useful target.

• This card is a great target for "Machine Duplication". After getting three of this monster on the field, try one of the following:
  • Tune two of the revived monsters for "Scrap Dragon", then activate its effect with the third. Combo with "Minefieldriller" for a little advantage.
  • Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend" or "Colossal Fighter" and use "Assault Mode Activate".
  • Revive a Tuner and a non-Tuner, then Synchro Summon "Karakuri Steel Shogun mdl 00X "Bureido"", using its effect to retrieve a Level 4 "Karakuri" Tuner ("Saizan"). Revive the same Level 4 non-Tuner with the last "Geargiano", then Synchro Summon another "Bureido", Special Summoning "Karakuri Komachi mdl 224 "Ninishi"" with its effect. Use "Komachi" to Summon a Level 4 "Karakuri" monster from your hand, Synchro for "Karakuri Shogun mdl 00 "Burei"" and retrieve "Karakuri Muso mdl 818 "Haipa"" in Defense Position. Change it to Attack Position with the effect of "Burei", draw 2 cards, and attack for game.
  • Revive three "Meklord Army of Granel" for "Meklord Astro Dragon Asterisk". (This will require significant set-up.)
  • Bring back all three "Gadgets", then activate and Special Summon "Stronghold the Moving Fortress" for a combined 6900 ATK.
    • You can also bring the "Gadgets", and Tribute them to Summon "Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon" on the next turn, so "Gadjiltron" will have his effects.
  • Send out three "Ancient Gear Soldier"/"Knight" in order to use "Spell Gear".
  • Tribute all 3 to Summon "X-Head Cannon", "Y-Dragon Head" and "Z-Metal Tank" to Contact Fuse "XYZ-Dragon Cannon".
  • Tribute them to get the Material for any 3-part Rank 4 Xyz Monster.
  • Bring 2 monsters out to Xyz Summon "Wind-Up Zenmaister". Revive a third monster and flip it with "Zenmeister". This will restore the Set monster's effect.
  • Xyz Summon "Number 34: Terror-Byte" with the "Geargiano" themselves.

• Use this card to bring back low-Level "Karakuri" monsters, effectively bypassing their effect that forces them to attack. Alternatively, get "Karakuri Muso mdl 818 "Haipa"" and attack with impunity.
