'''Infinity''' (also known as the '''Machine Emperors''' or '''Synchro Killers''') is a new archetype used by the three main villains of the third arc of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]], [[Placido]], [[Jose]] and [[Lucciano]]. The three Infinity sub-archetypes are [[Wisel]], used by Placido, [[Skiel]], used by Lucciano, and [[Grannel]], used by Jose.
 
These cards were given to their respective owners by their "[[Zone (character)|God]]", from the large monoliths sent from space with an "infinity" symbol on the side(s). Also, each of the "Decks" (which consist of 1 Machine Emperor and all of the other parts that go with it) are sent one at a time. Each of the "Infinity" monsters has a colored aura around them (as seen on the card illustrations). [[Wisel]] is surrounded by a green aura. [[Skiel]] is surrounded by a blue aura. [[Grannel]] is surrounded by a yellow aura. They are identified by the atom-like core inside their Infinity loop on their chests.

Support for this archetype comes in the form of each Infinity Monsters parts, which are designed for use on one Monster but can be used interchangeably, their Cores (named after the Infinity Monster's name's root word, [[Wise Core|Wise]], [[Sky Core|Sky]], or, presumably, Grand) and a series of Trap Cards (again named after the root word, followed by the initial of the part it targets, and the Level of the Summoned Monster ([[Wise A3]], for example), as well as a single Trap supporting all three in general, [[Infinity Force]].

The Infinity monster of Placido, [[Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity]] has been test driven by [[Ghost]], who first used it against [[Tetsu Ushio|Trudge]] and later against [[Yusei Fudo]]. Wisel is a monster composed of 5 monsters via the effect of [[Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity]], which are all summoned by the effect of [[Wise Core]] when it is destroyed via a card effect. When the 5 parts are combined, they form a humanoid robot. In its battle against [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] the right arm, [[Wisel Guard]], of Wisel gets destroyed, but is replaced with [[Wisel Guard 3]], and later his left arm [[Wisel Attack]] is upgraded by the effect of [[Wise A3]] into [[Wisel Attack 3]]. Yusei won the battle by destroying [[Wisel Top]]. 

The Infinity monster of Lucciano, [[Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity]] was first used in a Duel against [[Leo]] and [[Luna]]. When the 5 parts are combined, they form a bird-like robot. In this Duel Lucciano sacrificed his [[Skiel Attack]] to special summon [[Skiel Attack 3]], by the effect of [[Sky A3]], which in turn was sacrificed to special summon [[Skiel Attack 5]]. With this upgrade he defeated both [[Leo]] and [[Luna]]. Skiel is also a monster composed of 5 monsters, which are all summoned by the effect of [[Sky Core]], and combined by the effect of [[Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity]]. 

The last and possibly strongest of the Machine Emperors, [[Grannel]], was recieved by Jose following Placido's defeat. It is also a [[Machine]]-type Monster, made up of an Machine Emperor Infinity body part and multiple other parts (Attack, Carrier, Guard and Top), Summoned by a Core, which can be upgraded with better versions.

As seen in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 108|episode 108]], all of the individual Machine Emperor parts can be used by their kin as Placido used Skiel Carrier parts on Wisel.

All Infinity monsters are apparently focused on absorbing opponent's [[Synchro Monsters]] and gain [[ATK]] equal to absorbed Synchro Monsters' ATK. The only way to counter this archetype is to [[Accel Synchro Summon]] an [[Accel Synchro Monsters|Accel Synchro Monster]], [[Fusion Summon]] a Synchro Fusion Monster,[[Synchro Summon]] a [[Majestic]] [[Synchro Monster]] or [[Special Summon]] an [[Assault Mode]] monster.

All of the monsters of each series (other than the Machine Emperors themselves) can be upgraded to larger monsters with higher levels and stronger effects. [[Wisel]] parts increase to Level 3, [[Skiel]] to Level 5 and [[Grannel]] has an as-of-yet unknown maximum.

An interesting note is that they've all been used exclusively in [[Turbo Duel|Turbo Duels]], possibly to take advantage of the lack of destruction effects.
