Gravatomic Archetype

[BPHSCHIP]

The basis of these monsters is that they cannot change their battle positions without the assistance of card effects; however, when they do, they have effects that activate based on what position they are changed to. In addition, all of these monsters, except for their ace card "Gravatomic Champion" are Level 4, allowing for the Xyz Summon of "Wreckage". 

 

Up to twice per turn, you can change the battle position of monsters you control. If you change the position of a "Gravatomic" monster, gain 300 Life Points.

This turn, the summoned monster is not destroyed by battle. Also, all monsters your opponent controls that can attack must attack the monster summoned by this effect, and cannot otherwise attack.

Once per turn, when a "Gravatomic" card you control should be destroyed; it is not destroyed.

This is original and looks fun to use, however, the formating of your post bugs me, things don't seem to be in any particular order and a few spoilers (found by clicking on the special BBCode button next to the eraser) would help make the post less monstrous to look at.

 

As for the cards, in general they seem pretty balanced from a non-metagame perspective, not sure how they'd hold up in the current meta.

Aviator doesn't specify the ATK requirements for direct attacks.

 

Anyways, the archetype is very original, and I quite like it. It would help if they had more immunity, though, since, if I recall, only 1 or 2 Main Deck monsters in the archetype are immune to battle or card effect.
