​I'll try to make this quick because of the long post; this is a Pendulum Archetype I made to help out the Ancient Gears and Gadget Machine monsters (because Cyberse Gadget is Cyberse-Type and doesn't work with the overall theme). They have a very straight-forward stun playstyle involving their Cog Counters as well as gaining field advantage by being ditched from your hand, but only if you do so to activate an effect or if your opponent does so by their effect. The fact that all the monsters are Pendulum Monsters adds multiple Summoning to Ancient Gears and Gadgets, which will definitely benefit them. I also designed these cards to work specifically with Machine Duplication, Ties of the Brethren, as well as the Ancient Gear and Gadget Archetypes to make this Deck very consistent and competitive. The obvious flaw are the Cog Counters, without them the Deck can stall itself and become vulnerable so outside protection is recommended. Have fun.
