Fodder for fortress that makes the revive a +0, can be searched and gives more targets for Gearframe so you don't run out of them.

Okay, so we just talked about the safe stuff – let's get nutty. Machina Force is the last Machina monster in Machina Mayhem that I want to talk about. To Summon it you have to have four specific Machina monsters on the field, two of which you probably wouldn't want to run in a competitive deck due to low ATK and utility (Machina Defender and Commander Covington). Then you have to send three of those monsters to the graveyard to Special Summon a monster whose total ATK doesn't surpass the combined attack of the monsters you lost. It's not exactly a great deal.

Let's be Honest: even if you could summon Machina Force, which is virtually impossible, it would only be worth doing so if style points were an alternate win condition. Sadly this isn't Olympic ice dancing. If you manage to get Machina Defender, Sniper, Soldier, and Force into the Graveyard, you could copy Force's effect with Phantom of Chaos and then send it to the Graveyard to Special Summon the other three Machinas, but again, that requires you to play Defender and it's just too tough to set up.

The good news? There IS another use for this card! Machina Force happens to have more ATK than any other monster you can play in your main deck. You can kick it to the Graveyard with Foolish Burial, and since it's searchable with Machina Gearframe, you can easily grab it from your deck and discard it. Once Force is in your yard the fun begins – because you're playing Kuribohs!

Yes, Machina Force is the ultimate power-up for Winged Kuriboh when you remove Force from the game with Berserker Crush. In one fell blow, your Winged Kuriboh will go from 300 ATK to a whopping 4600, reliably bashing through whatever you send it to wreck. No, this isn't mainstream and it won't Top 8 a Regional, but it's just too awesome not to mention. The best part is that it's so easy to set up once you draw Berserker Crush. Foolish Burial gives you easy access, Machina Gearframe can get Force to your hand for free, and you can even use this next monster to get it straight to your graveyard without losing any cards in the process…

Oh JGM, you crazy scamp.

I like how in Machina decks, it's not actually a dead draw. If only it could be playable, it would have gone more hand in hand with machinas.

If it was McHale, he'd be saying it would win the next YCS.

Future Fusion+Phantom of Chaos... If at least Rock Bombardment allowed you to send any number of monsters, then I would run Magnet Warriors...

This card cannot declare an attack unless you pay 1000 Life Points. During your Main Phase, you can send this card from the field to the Graveyard. When this card is sent from the field to the Graveyard, select and Special Summon 1 "Machina" monster from your Graveyard (except "Machina Force").

I like how Konami tried to make an entire subtype out of a 3 card set -.-

Winged Kuriboh OTK. It's bad, but still an OTK.
