Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Titan

[Philemon]

After spending some time looking over the Gadjiltron archtype (a whooping 2 of them), I wondered why they never made a 3 tribute monster. They had a 1 tribute, a 2 tribute, and so I set out to do it myself. I know the picture doesn't look very Ancient Gear, but suspend your disbelief for a moment and judge the card on it's long and unwieldy effect.

[spoiler='Big Shiny Robot that doesn't look very Ancient ']If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell/Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. You can Tribute 3 monsters, 1 monster, or no monsters, to Normal Summon (but not Set) this card. The original ATK and DEF of this card becomes the combined original ATK and DEF of the Tributed monsters. This card gains corresponding effects if you Tribute Summon it by Tributing these monsters:

● Green Gadget: This card is unaffected by the effects of Spell Cards. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict Piercing Battle Damage to your opponent.

● Red Gadget: This card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards. When this card destroys a monster by battle: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.

● Yellow Gadget: This card is unaffected by the effects of other Effect Monsters. After damage calculation, when this card battles an opponent's monster: Banish that monster.[/spoiler]

 

Being 1 part Fog King gives hims some maneuverability. you can summon him with stats up to 3900/3300 and near-immunity to everything, or a bit lower for some maneuverability. Being a Level 10 monster with 0 ATK, you can Normal Summon him and use Machine Duplication for a quick Rank 10 summon. It works with the second part of Special Schedule, and other cards I'm sure to have missed.

 

Thoughts?

so it's essentially Fog King on crack, Gadjiltron style. The only difference is that it can actually get all 3 effects at once. Not to mention that it would have the combined ATK of the gadgets, which is 3900, be unaffected by any and all card effects other than its own, and if it attacks a monster, it inflicts damage regardless of battle position, deals an additional 1k burn, and then banishes the unfortunate monster that happens to cross this goliath's path! The only drawback is the amount of setup it takes to get all 3 gadgets on the field at once, have them survive a turn, and Tribute them for this. But if you do, you have a nearly invincible monster out. 7/10 because playability seriously hampers it, but it's a very cool card.

Pretty much. I wanted something that could serve as a colossus, just plain beating down anything in it's path, or as part of a strategy that doesn't use him for brute force. I also kept the Yellow Gadget effect of banishing anything this battles simply as a bonus, so things like Spirit Reaper can't defend forever and that if something should overpower it (the only way to kill it at full power), it'll go out with him.

So I read this card, imagine its abilities at its fullest, and these words echo through my head:

 

"Goliath online."

 

Once you start Tribuiting 2 or more Gadgets with it, it indeed becomes a force to be reckoned with. 2/3 blanket effect immunity is still very strong, and by that point the Ancient Gear self-protection effect becomes almost redundant.

 

Summoning it at no Tributes lets you have your way with Rank 10 shenanigans, but I'm not sure why anyone would want to Tribute 1 monster for it, seeing that it'll then just become a glorified Gadget that is still as fragile as the original 3.
