"Speedroid" [[Monster Card|monsters]] mostly resemble weaponized toys, like tops and boomerangs, or make references to games, like dice, with their names commonly being puns or portmanteaus with the names of said toys/games mostly from Japan. The [[Synchro Monster]]s are called "[[Hi-Speedroid]]" (''High-Speedroid'' in Japanese). {| class="wikitable sortable" style="floatalign:rightleft"! Speedroid

==Playing style==
"Speedroids" focus on fast [[Synchro Summon]]s. "[[Speedroid Terrortop]]" makes for a great opening move, as it can [[Special Summon]] itself from the hand while the player controls no monsters and can search for any "Speedroid" monster from the Deck, while also starting the deck's numerous combos.
"[[Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon]]" is the deck's central focus most of the time, due to its powerful negation effect and it being easy to Summon in this deck. With the correct setup, the deck's even capable of Summoning multiple copies of "Crystal Wing" in one turn. However, this is no longer possible with the New [[Master Rules]] in effect without any [[Link Monster]]'s assistance, though the soon-after released "[[Crystron Needlefiber]]" can greatly alleviate this.
This Deck can also make good use of [[Xyz Monster]]s, mainly Rank 3 Xyz Monsters with "Terrortop" and "Taketomborg". Because of excellent synergy between "Terrortop" and "Taketomborg" (sometimes "Tri-Eyed Dice" and "Menko" as well), those cards often utilized in various strategies (mainly ones that's are focused on Rank 3 Xyz Summons), including, but not limited to, "[[Burning Abyss]]" and "[[The Phantom Knights]]". However, it is was also this synergy that ultimately leads lead to "Terrortop" being [[Limited]] in both OCG and TCG, due to its over-usage in almost all decks, primarily "[[Zoodiac]]" and all of its variants.
Some of the archetype's monster effects (such as "Taketomborg" or "Hagoita") limit the player to Special Summoning only WIND monsters during the turn their effects are used.
==Weaknesses==
* Although "Speedroids" are an excellent [[swarm]]ing [[Deck]], the [[archetype]] itself is almost completely focused on the user, and their cards have somewhat low utility on its their own, with very few cards that hinder the opponent substantially. Therefore, it is somewhat dependent on whatever monster they Synchro Summoned in order to maintain both offense and defense on the field.
* The biggest weakness of this deck is their heavy dependency dependence on "Speedroid Terrortop", which is unsearchable through normal means itself, which can severely hamper the Deck's speed and preventing them prevent it from maintaining card advantage during the early game.
** This can be circumvented by sending "Terrortop" to the Graveyard and either revive it or add it to your hand through various card effects (primarily "[[Speed Recovery]]").
* The Deck relies heavily on their the Graveyard, which can be exploited through [[banishing]] cards such as "[[Dimensional Fissure]]" and "[[Macro Cosmos]]".
* Because they are very dependent on Synchro Summons, they are also susceptible to Anti-Special Summoning cards such as "[[Vanity's Emptiness]]", "[[Vanity's Fiend]]", and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]".
* Extra Deck lockdown effects, such as "[[Domain of the True Monarchs]]" or "[[Nekroz of Unicore]]", will shut the deck down until their effect disappeardisappears.
