OMG Rank 5 Exceed incoming. This one might actually be really good.

Well, they have decent stats and seem to only be able to use their effects only once while face-up on the field. Makes it I guess somewhat risky, but I like it. Makes you have to think wisely of when to use them. Question: Will Book of Moon reset the 'only once while face-up on the field' thing? If so, maybe that's why it was limited?

A little correction. Mainspring Magician is LV4, allowing for an easy RK4 Exceed.

Yeah, thanks. That was a typo. :P

I say Rank 5 incoming because:

Summon Magician

Summon Soldier, Activate Effect to become Level 5

Magicians Effect activates, summoning another Soldier, who activates his effect.

RANKU 5 EKUSHEEZU SHOUKAN!!

MAINSPRING CHIMERA!!

I don't think we need more Archetypes when Types themselves are still suffering terribly.

But at the rate they are going, despite the fact there are only 2 cards so far, Mainsprings just might be a mis-mash of type and attribute O,o

So a Magnet Warrior and Summoner Monk will fuse with Toy Magician?

Wonderful comparison, lol

But they look fun to an extent, they are just going to be a bit more thinking required... I'm hoping some where along the line they get a reset card for themselves, I'm gessing they will
so far, if they do get a tuner they will be some fun to quick sync... or I guess the exceed effect works rather incredibly well with them too

More than likely they would be like Gladiator Beasts, where they fit in a small group of Types. And either way, what good does that do other Types? Most Archetypical cards only work well with themselves, with some obvious exceptions.

We do not need more LIGHT or DARK monsters. I find it nice ti know that we have an archetype that doesn't just go "lolol we have the same type/attribute lololol".

I want archetypes that are more varied, like how these guys are looking to be.

i think they are archetype in name and signature ability, so their ability is would likely to be they can to choose to activate an effect but then it can only be done once, so another word they continuous with a drawback of shutting it down, it's just like a little toy soldier we have IRL that you wind it then it move then stop, just like that. I gotta say they look kinda cute lol.

Wish the dog was a different Attribute then the other two like....DARK. Yeah, DARK. The Dog's ATK boost is most likely going to be 400 to fit the Soldier, or 800 seeing it's Level boost is double the Soldier's. But yeah, made for Mainspring Soldier for a Level 5 Exceed Summoning. Could've been slightly better (not saying it isn't bad) if it said [b]up by[/b] 2 Levels, that way it can do some Level 4 Exceeds with the Magician as well.

No, it shouldn't be DARK. People need to stop saying "Should have been -Attribute-", because they shouldn't be. The other Attributes need cards too, and they need more support. Don't just stick them in a more heavily-supported group.

As far as Dog's effect, it will probably be 200, 300, or 400 ATK it gains.

Pretty cool archetype so far, they make Rank 3-5 and Synchros from 4-6 pretty easily. They're quite flexible.

Giant Rat into Mainspring Dog. Normal Summon Mainspring Magician. Activate Dog, summon another or Soldier through Magician. Activate their effect and Exceed into whatever Rank 5 we get. Glow-Up or Plaguespreader with Magician into something or Instant Fusion + something into Rank 4. Kinda cool. Though I do wish Dog and Magician shared an attribute for searcher reasons. Preferably Earth so I could go into Naturia Beast with Glow-Up and Magician.

Cyber Dragon and Instant Fusion are looking really nice with this archetype.

Looking forward to what else we get from these guys.
