Blake Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Digital Bug RhinocebusRank 7 LIGHT Insect-Type Xyz Effect MonsterLight Insect / Xyz / EffectRK7 2600/2200Materials: 2 or more Level 7 LIGHT Insect-Type monstersYou can also Xyz Summon this card by detaching 2 Xyz Materials from a Rank 5 or 6 Insect-Type Xyz Monster you control, then using that Xyz Monster as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card.)(1) If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.(2) Once per turn, during either player’s turn: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy the monster your opponent controls with the highest DEF. It's... neat, for sure. Curious what else comes with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
玄魔の王 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So it's a costlier Gaia Dragon with Smashing Ground built in... ...I'm not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil cucumber Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Whatehell there are no valid materials for it, does that mean...new archetype? The optional summoning is very costly. Would prefer it to detach only 1 material so you could spend the other material for that xyz eff. But theres the volca+gaia+this thing way which requires a lot of ed space, edit: o wait gaia is 7 >.>' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airride Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So It's a slightly more powerful Daia Dragon...But it needs to detach 2. Erm...Chaos Chimera...? It honestly seems pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted December 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 only evolves from insects so exa-beetle and exa-stag for now, with Master Key Beetle and Number 20 being the other insecy xyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So much more this could've done. But at least it shows that Konami still remembers what the hell an Insect was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I suppose the archetype will be Digital Bug? If so, I think there'll be either multiple levels, or, quite possibly, level modulation going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinkerer Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Finally new Insect support! *reads card* ...Hmm. Well then... If there is one thing this card is extraordinary in, it is being highly meh. ...However, why am I getting the distinct impression that the cards that'll come with this will give effects if they are used as material...

Toffee. Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I seriously hope this gets a matching Archetype, and all of it is funking cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nyx Avatar Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I seriously hope this gets a matching Archetype, and all of it is funking cool.But knowing Konami, they'll probably scrap it up after its initial release and pretend like nothing happened.

asterr259 Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So much more this could've done. But at least it shows that Konami still remembers what the hell an Insect was.But not Dinosaurs Anyway this card is missed potential for sure. If the materials weren't Light something could be done here(Kumongous and Hundred-Footed Horror), but there's just the Inzektors. Not seeing much use for it though. Maybe against Superheavies? So I'm definitely expecting more insects with this. This is going to have to be easier to summon to be even considered running/sideing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hexanort Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 yeah the two detach pretty much make this unusable with the current cards.....you cant use the R5 effect first which is a wasted move...and you only get a gaia dragon with smashing ground.....the destruction effect doesnt target but....volca/adre effect is still much more viable and most likely be able to destroy what this card can destroy...

~British Soul~ Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's been quite a while since we've seen an Insect archetype, but yeah I agree, the detach 2 effect killed it. I'm sure they could've gotten away with detach 1 since it needs Insect Xyz to summon it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 You guys are being a touch premature, no? Given this card's requirements, it's clear a new archetype is on its way. I predict that the archetype will either focus on level modulations, OR, they will have multiple high levels. They will range from 5-7 I'd wager, explaining its Xyz Change mechanic. It's odd though that they would impose such a detach restriction on what is just a sort-of better Gaia Dragon, which is why I believe that this archetype might involve detach effects as well, similar to Derricrane's. Of course, this is just theory-oh right now, but I don't think it's wise to poo-poo the detach when we know zero about the archetype currently.

Ryusei the Morning Star Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 That's assuming it will be the boss Toyo.-2 material bottom line, so it's gonna need have 1 material at best if it's a two mat overlay and 2 if it's three. If it's three, the monster under sucks. This card has very little future in any good deck at face value with such a mediocre effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 It's why I said not to make premature assumptions when we don't know a single thing about the archetype it will be a part of. Do you not read a single thing people say? Well, things that you don't misquote or use out of context? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Progenitor Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Indeed there's no way powerhungry konami as is would make such a blatantly underpowered card that's from a potentially new archetype without reason IMO. I feel like the potential materials will get effects that trigger when they are detached from Insect-Type Xyz monsters, which would explain the heavy cost to rank up for such little payoff. In that concept they might play similar to Raid Raptors in the sense that they are super focused on stacking Xyz for days to trigger their more powerful effects. But that's just my prediction. For all we know this is just one of those cards that's so bad people think that their must be some higher use for it that we are just to dumb to see, which they like to do from time to time.

goodfusion Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I really like it, it's about time another Insect-Type archetype came along. A quick Smashing Ground really isn't too bad, and piercing is nice to have. While Aroma, Greydle and Shiranui aren't the best archetypes, they're still pretty cool and I am looking forward to what the rest of the Digital Bugs are.
