irst of all i love the artwork and the names... i hope konami will see this and will copy it :D i love the effects but android is toooo broken... you pay 1500 lp for 5 cards ... and with your spell and other monster cards its too easy to get 5 broken gear counter! 

 

and i love rob its very cool and balanced equal too your fieldspell! good work man!

I like these a lot (especially the artwork, where did you find it, it's GORGEOUS). Something I think you can use are more consistant ways to get your counters, as Factory seems to be the only really consistant way to do so, and it's easily removed via MST, Castel and the like while being unsearchable. Perhaps I'd suggest making Factory a Field Spell (so you can search it with Terraforming, which acts as discard fodder for stuff like Blast Furnace Knight when you already have a Factory out) and making some edits to allow accumulation of counters to be done a little easier, since a lot of your guys need quite a few removed to get their effects.

I dont understand some of these cards, or rather some of the decisions. You have cards that for 3 counters will negate, or do other such stuff. But why would i ever remove 3 counters to add 1 from the graveyard when i would want to draw 5? The power fluctuation between 3 and 5 counters, 2 and these 5 counters is massive. Also a lot of your cards are underwhelming or very slow, but thats okay im sure you intended it to be that way. As youre pretty reliant on your field spell, I would give it some clause "While you have 3 counters on your side of the field: This card cannot be destroyed by card effects. While you have 6 counters on your side of the field: This card cannot be targeted by card effects." Endymion was pretty cool in that it stacked up its own counters too.
