TCG Rulings
Upper Deck Entertainment Rulings
 | These TCG rulings were issued by Upper Deck Entertainment and have since been declared unofficial by Konami.[2] They were previously considered official and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules, or unless Konami has issued a ruling that says otherwise.

Judge List Rulings
- "Submarineroid" does not assume new "original ATK" values. Its original ATK does not modify after the battle is concluded. It does not become a "new original ATK" or anything of that sort. It's effect means to explain that the battle damage inflicted will be equal to whatever "Submarineroid's" original ATK is. If equipped with "Axe of Despair", it will only inflict 800 damage, and "Submarineroid's" ATK remains at 1800.[1]
Konami Rulings
| These TCG rulings were issued by Konami before the introduction of Problem-Solving Card Text. Since the introduction of the new text structure, individual card rulings for the TCG are no longer issued or actively maintained.[12] They have never been formally overturned as a whole and can still be correct, as long as they follow the official gameplay rules and do not contradict card text. |
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Earthbound Immortal: If you control an Earthbound Immortal and no other monsters, your opponent cannot attack you, because they cannot select the Earthbound Immortal as an attack target. (Exception: they can attack with monsters that can attack directly, such as “Submarineroid.”)
- Forbidden Chalice: If a monster like “Submarineroid” attacks directly, and “Forbidden Chalice” is activated during the Damage Step, resolve the attack. A replay does not occur.
OCG Rulings
- The effect "This card can attack your opponent directly, but when it does so using this effect, the battle damage inflicted to your opponent is the original ATK of this card" is a Continuous Effect.[13]
- The effect "but when it does so using this effect, the battle damage inflicted to your opponent is the original ATK of this card" is applied if "Submarineroid" attacks directly using its own effect. (It is not applied if there are no monsters in the opponent's Monster Zone and it is attacking directly.)[13]
- The effect "At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked or was attacked: You can change this card to Defense Position" is a Trigger Effect. (It does not target.)[13]
- The effect "You can change this card to Defense Position" can be activated not only at the end of a Damage Step in which "Submarineroid" attacked, but also at the end of a Damage Step in which an opponent's monster attacked "Submarineroid".[13]
Mentions in Other Rulings
- Ambulanceroid: If you add 2 copies of "Submarineroid" from your Graveyard to your hand with the effect of "Salvage", the effect of "Ambulanceroid" can be activated. In that case, both copies of "Submarineroid" that were added to the hand simultaneously are Special Summoned. (You cannot choose to Special Summon only 1 of the added monsters.)[14]
- Megaroid City: The ATK and DEF that are swapped by the effect "During damage calculation, if your "roid" monster battles: You can send 1 "roid" monster from your Deck to the GY; switch the original ATK and DEF of your battling monster during the damage calculation only" of "Megaroid City" are treated as the original ATK and DEF. Therefore, if the ATK and DEF of "Submarineroid" are swapped by "Megaroid City", the original ATK of "Submarineroid" is 1800 and its original DEF is 800 during damage calculation. If "Submarineroid" attacks directly using its own monster effect, as a result of "but when it does so using this effect, the battle damage inflicted to your opponent is the original ATK of this card", the battle damage inflicted to the opponent becomes 1800.[15]

Rules posted online will be limited to super-complicated and really weird situations. Imagine going down to a dozen pages of card rules, instead of a thousand. It could happen.
