Gear Engineer Arlim

It's a cute little card in both art and effect. The most you could probably Summon is Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Black Rose Dragon (if that's even used anymore), and if it's a LIGHT Machine-Type monster, you could even Summon Michael, the Arch-Lightsworn. Though, I think the proper wording is "When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Machine-Type Monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon the targeted monster to your side of the field with, but its effects are negated. You can only activate this effect of "Gear Engineer Arlim" once per turn.

 

By the by, did you intend this card for something in particular?

Thanks for the wording...

 

I though of it being a bit of a tech for being used for both Level 4 to 7 Synchros and Rank 3 Xyz Monsters when combined with a machine Deck.

Well, there's not a whole lot in the Rank 3 pool. The best you could make (at least worth using) would probably be Levair Sea Dragon. But it's still a nice card, allowing such Synchro plays.

In a nutshell, this card is basically a less restrictive version of Black Salvo (can summon Level 3 or lower monsters, and they do not necessarily have to be DARK); albeit being Warrior, so it won't benefit from whatever support cards in the Deck. So wording-wise, you can borrow from the LC5D version.

 

When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Machine-Type monster in your Graveyard; Special Summon that target, but its effects are negated. You can only use this effect of "Gear Engineer Arlim" once per turn.

 

Unlike Salvo, this card opens up more Synchro plays as opposed to only 7s, which is nice. Also has the benefit of chaining when it's SS'd too, so you can repeatedly Synch (or Xyz) as needed (well, once per turn anyway).

 

Not completely sure if people still use regular BRD; I have been hearing things about it not being as efficient (or was that its cousin?). But yeah, Clear Wing is generally a good choice for 7s (if Dark Strike Fighter / Yazi among other things aren't out of contention just yet).
