I'd nearly forgotten about those old Machiners. They seem restricted to the same 3-4 monster, like the Monks, so I can't imagine what support is in store.

If they got support, could it be possible there may be a faster way to get their 4000-ATK Boss to the field? O.o
Let's not forget Saiga and his partner played the Machiners, so maybe Saiga's gonna be in the WRGP?
Speaking of, we haven't seen him, Himuro, or old man Yanagi all season, especially just before the Signers and Dark Signers duked it out....

i had to delete my comments to get rid of pollutants.

Ok, I have to admit, this is actually looking pretty badass now, even without any of the cards actually being known.

Unions now? Wow. I still remember when those first came out back in the day, everyone I knew said they sucked but I made the old deck...good times...

Anyways, now I see the pattern. They're doing a bunch of sub-types now. First Duals and now Unions. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Spirit and/or Toon deck(s).

If this set is anything like the last one, then it won't actually do anything for Machine(rs) and do everything for Union Monster. I wouldn't be surprised if they make a Synchro that requires non-Tuner Union Monsters in Absolute Powerforce, which would be weird because that's how the XYZ Fusions summon themselves.

I look forward to Tier 2 XYZs

judging from how slow the unions are,
theres gonna be hard to get cards reprinted in here!

..Oh, wait. It's UNION? I thought XYZ already got the rather annoying support card called Cyber Eltanin.
Anyway, kinda hard to imagine what else can be done for the Unions. They already special summon from hand, they revive-equip, etc. Mmm... maybe a draw boost or a search (Technically, FB and Get Ride does the same thing) card?

[Machiners Fortress] sounds a bit bigger than just Level 7, doesn't it? It must have a sweet effect, but something that keeps it from being easy to pull of with stuff like [Monster Gate], [Reasoning], [Tribute Doll], etc...

"or Graveyard". No longer do I have to cry myself to sleep when my Destiny Draw turns out to be a Gear Golem.
Now my question is: What exactly does this card have to do with Machiners?

Is this all about machiners, or all about unions? I'm confuzzled...

the only support I see with this is being able to discard machiner's force to summon fortress. It looks like the things that make fortress(like machiners force is made because it looked like a combination of monsters which I find strange seeing as it doesnt mention anything) are going to be in absolute powerforce well it would make sense if they were in the pack maybe there's a fusion between force and fortress in this or a synchro between them.

omg - the warriors strike structure had a common dark bribe - now this one has a common dimensional prison (Dimensional imprisonment)

and a common cyber dragon

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

This is very awesomely built - they're really going at it, in terms of making these SDs truly staight-from-the-box playable.
What I find great is the true Machine-type support. You could easily combo those new cards with the "Antique Gear" monsters (especially from their own SD) and lay out some fast hurt easily.
The original "Machiners", in terms of pulling off their heavy hitter "Force", were poorly done (only because it was just one really quick duel they were shown in), so it's a bit nicer to see them at least remotely playable, if you dedicate yourself enough.

woohoo! another machine structure deck! machines are probably the best cards in the game in my oppinion and I can't stop upgrading my machine deck.

Yes Abridged Series reference intended. And mayhaps not "fabulous" but good enough that I'd pick it up.
