The main archetype for these cards, the "Tech" monsters, [url=http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/310267-tech-archetype-wave-4-up-all-39-cards-avaliable/]can be found here.[/url]

 

The reason these cards are so strong is because the requirements are so hard to fulfil: To summon out Mecha-Eyes Tech dragon, the summoner must get out either one of the Level 4 Tech monsters and one of the two Level 3 Tech synchros, two of the three different Level 3 Techs and "Upgrade Tech - Codemaster", or one of the Level 6 Tech monsters and the same Tuner out.

The only way to get Overclocked Mecha-Eyes out, is to summon the base Mecha-Eyes out first, then get either "Upgrade Tech - Dragon Drive" or "Upgrade Tech - Draco Skeleton" onto the field; Codemaster cannot be used, as it will not fulfil the level requirement. After a fair amount of testing, I can assure you these cards are not easy to get out at all.

 

Still, any comments or feedback on how to improve or balance them out better?

I think it's alright, feels kinda winmoar, but then again, might never exhaust it's potential.

Its reliance on destroying monsters by battle is alright, for that to happen twice or more is kinda unlikely, considering the current meta.

Feels to me as if when you summon this thing and just fall to a mirror force - you'll be furious. But that's okay I guess since I've seen the field spell and the SS from deck continuous spell so I guess rebuilding advantage is something this archetype does well. 

 

will probably never get to 5 counters as is, and if it already gets to 5 - I think you should have probably won the duel by now, right? but it's nice to have. 

Mecha-Eyes is completely fine, again relying on ATK but that's no bad thing - just a little sub-optimal.
