'''Tech Genus''' is an [[Anime|anime]] [[Archetype]] used by [[Bruno|Antinomy]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]. They are all [[Wikipedia:Cyborg|Bionic]] in appearance to reference the identity of their master. In the Japanese anime, each of them has a code in their name which references their [[Type]], followed by a number. Also at the end of their names, their [[Synchro Monsters]] have an X while their [[Accel Synchro Monsters]] have XX. They will make their debut in [[Extreme Victory]].
They seem to be high tech [[Monster Cards|monsters]] from the future which they share a variation of this [[Effect|effect]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|anime]]:
''This card can also be treated as a [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monster. When a [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] you [[Control|control]] which [[Target|targets]] this card, you can halve this card's [[original ATK]] and [[DEF]]. When this card is [[Destroy|destroyed]], you can add 1 "Tech Genus" Monster card from your [[Deck]] to your hand. You cannot [[Summon]] it this [[Turn|turn]].''
In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 5]], it is possible to use the card obtained during the same turn, as well as the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] reduction is not present among their effects.
They seem to have synergy with [[Gadgets]], as [[Bruno|Bruno as Vizor]] uses them alongside them in the game; Since a Gadget searches for another Gadget when being [[Summon]]ed, while a Tech Genus searches for another Tech Genus when destroyed.
The real life version of the Tech Genus cards consists of monsters who can search for Tech Genus monsters that do not share their name at the end of a turn they're destroyed. The Synchro Monsters, rather than search monsters, allow the player to [[Draw a Card|draw]] when they are destroyed.
The goal of the archetype is to [[Accel Synchro Summon]] "[[Tech Genus Blade Blaster]]" by summoning "[[Tech Genus Wonder Magician]]" and any [[Level]] 5 Synchro Monster, then use it to [[Negate|negate]] Spells and Traps while using its second effect to dodge attacks and effects.
However, there is another [[Accel Synchro Monster]] that exists in this archtype: [[Tech Genus Halberd Cannon]]. Halberd Cannon however does need one [[Tuner Synchro Monster]] and two [[Synchro Monsters]] while Blade Blaster needs only one of both. So Halberd Cannon is the final goal and usually a sure victory while Blade Blaster is an overwhelming monster that controlls the field but doesn't make the victory sure.
