Meklord Emperor Skiel WIND/Machine Level 1 2200/2200

Cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. Must be Special Summoned (From your hand) when a face-up monster you control is destroyed by a card effect and sent to the graveyard (And cannot be Summoned by other ways) Once per turn, you can select 1 Sycnhro Monster your opponent controls and equip it to this card as an Equip-Spell card. this card gains ATK equal to those equipped monsters combined. You can send a Synchro Equipped to this card to the graveyard, this turn, this card can attack your opponent directly.

The best Machine Emperor. It's so unloved, it's heartbreaking. The anime writers obviously hated it because it looked so epic, so they made Wisel and Granel much more plot relevent and powerful, and then kicked Skiel to the curb over and over and over again.

*insert my usual rant of examples of how Skiel was unloved*

Skiel was printed as a Secret Rare, compared to Granel's Ultra, though...
But still I've always like Skiel's artwork, mostly because I get a kick out of it's partial insect-design. Plus, it's upgraded parts were cool as hell.

Actually you could see that as the opposite of being loved:
Grannel and Wisel were made JUMP promos, so they were fairly accessible. Skiel in the other hand, became a regular pack's Secret Rare, making it more expensive (at least where I've seen it). Not to mention that, since it's of a higher rarity, and it's brothers are enough for a Mechlord Deck and as techs in other places anyways, there is a bigger discouragement when thinking about getting it. Lastly, even though I like Secret Rare shiny better, it doesn't look like it fits when it's brothers and even Cubic are Ultra rare. Doesn't quite look like a set there.
Almost forgot, Skiel is a WIND monster iirc, and Konami dislikes most WIND monsters. I bet Skiel was also purposely made like that.

In other words, it was all a carefully schemed plan to slightly push away Skiel.
He's got the best art though.

Lusiano was something I looked forward to, because I thought he'd eventually make Ruka and Rua useful... and because when he first appeared it looked like he was flirting with Ruka, while Rua was just being the jealous brother, but that's beside the point.
