When your Normal Summon a monster: You can Special Summon this card (from your hand). When this card is Summoned: Change this card to Defense Position; place 3 Counters on this card. When you draw a card; place 1 Counter on this card. When card(s) you control would be destroyed (either by battle or by card effect): You can target cards you control; remove Counters from this card equal to the number of cards targetted by this effect instead.[hr]Flavour Music - Yell Dead Cell
Small, cheap, reliable; the latest models in Mobile Shield Drones take to the scenes with their rapid dispatching rate. Tasked in cells of three units, the drones are designed with the minimal requirements expected off a cheap security unit - equipped with a rapid response shield systems to prevent the destruction of allies, and equipped with aerodynamic propulsion systems to keep them airborne, just watch these codgers go to work.
 
Much like the predecessor, yet not for destruction, simply for Defence. I noticed the lore cock-up and will change it soon - I'm not sure if this has much competitive value, but I figured that the Assault Drones needed a brother, and this card fills the shoes!

Nice brother to it. You hit the counterpart on the nail, I can imagine these little guys flying in the way of your other cards and giving their lives to protect the other cards. Perhaps it should be destroyed when it has no counters, for flavor, but that would further impair playability. Perhaps let is Special Summon itself if you control a Machine-Type monster, sort of like they were dispatched on a escort mission or anything of the sorts and have been charged with the protecting of that monster. "If you control a face-up Machine-Type monster, except "Mobile Shield Drones", you can Special Summon this card (from your hand)."

You already pointed out the typo, "card" = "cards", so I won't get into that too much. The OCG otherwise is pretty close to what it should be. Nice card, Kyng.

Thanks for the review, Therrion!

I'll see what I can do about the Special Summoning ability. I was worried, though, because this thing can work with cards like Machine Duplication Plant - if you could Normal Summon on top of that, you've got 3 Tribute Fodder (though, with 9 Counters I don't think you'd want to use them as fodder, since that is pretty good protection XD)

I don't think the card is worth using MDP on, anyways. Even so, it'd just be a wall of stall that is rather easy to break (though it would take some turns to do so).

Update Bump - Card now has the ability to be Special Summoned as well as the fixed OCG error being resolved.
