Ancient gears are among the best monsters in Yugi GX. First I couldn't stand Crowler but then I really started to like him. His deck is so cool

Ancient Gears have some of the coolest artwork of any archetype in the game in my opinion. They legitimately look like they could have been some ancient secret technology locked away for being too destructive, only to be brought back centuries later. They aren't even that bad of a deck anymore with the waves upon waves of new stuff. They are a nice "attack face" sort of deck, which i love.

Ancient Machine Thermonuclear Dragon... Holy shit this should have been the official name!

I wonder if Duel Academy in Arc-v uses Ancient Gear monsters because of Crowler who was able to do what he wanted after Jaden graduated.

Ancient Gear Golem reminds me of the movie Iron Giant. I really loved the movie when I was a kid and that's why I love this archetype too.

Ancient gear golem is hands down one of the coolest monsters in GX.

Since I just finished watching GX, yes I know I'm late to the party, I can see why the final duel with Crowler got number 1. It was both heart warming that Jaden and the others wanted to show their appreciation for the years of his teaching. Also heart breaking that Crowler didn't want his favorite students to leave. But we all have to grow up, that's life.

Estarossa: I activate Magic Cyliner! Escanor with Ancient Gears: Who decided that?

Ancient Gear Reactor dragon is my favorite card Can attack twice, inflicts piercing battle damage and it can destroy spell or traps. It’s plain awesome

I love the Ancient Gears! I have UAGG (Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem) and that was the main purpose of my ancient gear deck. Crowler wasn't my favorite character but the deck was amazing. I got excited when they showed up a lot in Arc V.

Gotta love the sheer contrast between TGS Anime's Ancient Gears and R10YGO's Ancient Gears, love them both tbh. One is informative and the other is hilarious

Fun fact:Back when KidsWB was a thing there was a contest for having your monster become a card. Guess who designed Ancient gear golem? This,guy..But,he went by Lord of wars golem. I'm not even joking,I just find it funny.

I've been waiting for this one for quite some time. Great that you've finally gotten around to it.

I’m running a bunch of decks, So far for some reason, ancient gear seems to be one of the more consistent - well designed archetypes that should get more focus

I thought the tail of chimera is green gadget. If I had to guess, the purple beast head represents the other gadgets like stronghold and metalhold as they are traps(purple). Just thought I’d speak up a bit.

Machine cards in general are my favorite but the ancient set in particular are the ones I like best,pretty rad artwork and their standard hex proof effect is quite handy

My friend's Ancient Gear deck is insaaaaane lol.

Ancient Gear remains to this day, my favourite Archetype in the game. They bring back memories of watching GX years ago and are quite fun to use in the actual card game.

The ancient gear monsters always reminded me of the karakuri monsters I use in my own deck. They are bulky and both are similar to each other in appearance. While the ancient gears are consistent with corroded metal and gears while karakuri always have red circular eyes and are made of wood while styling themselves in 1900 Japanese clothing. They are also similar in battle strategy just that ancient gears work on the thought of an endless stream of strong offensive monsters while the karakuri are built on the idea self defense and counter attacks much like samurai. It’s a very neat theme for machine monsters such as this.

My favorite deck. Built in Anti magic arrow monsters... whats not to like 💪💪💪

Hope You Enjoy! Whats Your Favourite Ancient Gear Monster?

They really had more gear than greek in this theme. I didn't even realised it till you said it. The potential could have been amazing for artworks and cards. Really sad they didn't went all out in this design

One of my favorite archetypes

Mecha Phantom Beast Archetype next! So hyped this video was made!

I love metabots until season two because the killabots were too overpowered. METABEE META FORCE!

thank you for this. my first structure deck I bought was the ancient gear one years ago. I stopped playing at xyz and im trying to sell almost all my old YGO cards and once I do, I might just make an ancient gear deck :)

One of my favorite archetpyes. Machinery just makes everything awesome, and The Ancient Gears are no exception! :D

Thanks for doing Ancient Gears Sam, they’re my favourite archetype!

Fact: Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem has 100 atk less than Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon

My favorite archetype is DDD/Dark Contract

THANK YOU SAM AND HAPPY NEW YEAR FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!! I've been waiting for this one!!! THE BEST OTK ARCHTYPE NEXT TO CYBER DRAGONS!!!

Perfect trivia before heading off to make ancient gears video

So thanks to this, his gadget monster video, and to some clever planning, i found a way to mess with my friends with AG Reactor Dragon. Since AG Gadget classifiies as both a Gear and a Gadget, you can sacrfice this card and you if have Geartown on to reduce the tribute cost by 1, you can essentially have a monster that can negate traps and spells when attacking, can attack twice, and deals damahe Def Position monster in about a few turns if you're lucky. And it is FUN.

I love ancient gear deck it is my favorite deck since the beginning and it keeps being stronger and stronger with the new cards! The cards that i love the most are all fusion cards when it comes to extra-deck and ancient gear golem pound when it comes to normal deck!

“Mechanized Melee” is probably my new favorite attack name. That’s sick.

Can you do the gladiator beast archetype?

Ancient Gears, my original loved archetype in YGO and the amount of people I managed to bully at my school thanks to Soldier and Beast. As for their appearance and character who used them, it was one of those situations where I think the character developed and was epitomised by their deck. Crowler was set-up as a Villain at first as would be easy for a show aiming for a young audience, a typical "student vs. teacher" story but what set it apart was that Crowler was portrayed as a caring teacher multiple times later on after his first showing regardless of dormitory the student came from. Eventually we see that he is hard on the Slifers because he knows they can do better, they can achieve greater things and only wants to see students thrive. This drives the idea that he does care, acting callus as to keep the students on their toes not as a primary fear campaign wanting only respect. Multiple times we see his compassion shine through, the big one being his duel against Bonaparte where he in a twist becomes a defender of the Slifers (when we at first thought he hated them) and even broke a trope of a "villain" character losing power when switching sides, he quite cleanly defeated Bonaparte and without changing how he works: You can't approach his deck with typical spell and traps to win, you need to assess of change your tack as needed to win. Again we see another soft side against Chumley where this cements his ideology of not antagonising for sake of causing pain, but to test and push others. Even after the duel he makes sure to say that it wasn't about winning but showing that Chumley was indeed growing and improving showing his true goals: not to put others down but to help them become better (what a teacher should be). Finally, he shows a sentimental side the duel against Jaden a second time, commenting on how he had grown but never changed as he was beaten in the same way in their first duel (Flamewing Man beating over Ancient Gear Golemn with Skyscraper). An eccentric character who only wants his students to become better. Not to mention: He did have the coolest Duel Disk in all series to this day. I mean...who can argue? (and no Bonaparte doesn't count because his short ass needed a support wheel for that annoyance).

Is no one gonna talk about how with double summon you can: play AG wyvern, search AG box, use its effect to search AG frame, then use double summon to summon AG frame to the field to then discard and search either AG fusion or AG golem if you already have it in hand? That's a 2 card plus 3 I think and I love doing it

One of my favorites

My favorite archetype yeeeeeessssss

I found your channel recently and im from greece.I know the man whom you used the source for the video and you did good research about the topic.Also keep up the good work

i am from greece and this is my favourite archetype

16:48 Not entirely true, UFOroid Fighter, another Machine fusion monster that can have even higher original original ATK, although not listed on the card. The maximum ATK that card can achieve with its effect is 7800, which can be done by using "Windwitch - Crystal Bell" to copy the name of "UFOroid" from either players graveyard and fusing it with "Flower Cardian Lightflare" as the Warrior monster. Although realistically doing this will be extremely impracticable, and difficult. although could make for a nice challenge! 😂😂

I like it how before in the anime anchient gears were rare and legendary cards but then in Arc-v, its was just like "Screw it, mass produce this thing"

I love these cards they were the first GX deck I made and it was just so much fun to play with them. Sure not the greatest but still very fun.

Plz also cover the spell/trap cards

There is a chronomaly monster based on the antikythira mechanism now as well. It's name is simply Antikythira Gear, but it isn't available outside of the anime yet.

i though u already did this???... just realized that i was thinking of the scraps + u did a separate vid on the golem cards.

Chaos Ancient Gear Giant is best used with Overload Fusion since that spell fusion summons Dark Machine Fusion monsters. It’s great for a surprise.

What if we got another golem retrain (a good one this time) that was a gundam reference (maybe holding a mega sword)? That would be pretty sick to me😎

I always found it weird that ancient gear golem- ultimate pound was named that in English considering its Japanese name is agg mechanised melee as in the English attack name of agg so why did they reverse it?

wait... I've just noticed that the background music sounds like a track from the Castlevania game series

Ancient Gear Beast is so cool! I remember pulling it from a pack. Wish I never traded it... at least I think that's what I did. I can't find it anymore... or my original Fiend Skull Dragon.

0:46 Antikythera Mechanism? 5:20 So that's a Wyvern 8:18 What's a Chimera? 12:29 Top Duels of each show according to Shueisha V-Jump Polls

Ancient Gear Monsters are cool in their own way.

Ahh Ancient Gears. A good solid deck that's pretty fun to use.

great video, ,you forgot "cross-dimensional duel", while it's not exactly an "ancient gear" archetype card, it's first effect specifies "ancient gear monster", and it's second "ancient gear goler or ancient gear golem ultimate pound" so I think it can be considered a support card for the archetype

Now that you mention it, that really does kind of resemble a medabot's tinpet

now you know why i run these things both in duel links and in pro

Medabots. I loved medabots as a kid. I dressed up as Metabee for Halloween

Aincent gear soldier is my fave.

As a note from an Ancient Gear player, I also feel Howitzer is loosely based of of a phoenix, as it is a large bird that both burns your opponent, and has the special summoning effect (even though it doesnt float itself)

In gx these were my fave

I've been using them recently and let me tell you. It feels wonderful to power bond giant out after a black hole and backrow clear.

I can imagine this deck having synchros. Maybe the guy who used it in 5D’S had added synchros to it. :P

I’m still waiting for new ancient gear structure deck; it would be cool to have core card in it like shaddoll one

These cards are fun to play around with an opponent. I like withering their health down with the howitzer and hunting hounds before delivering an unnecessarily strong chaos giant attack.

Ancient Gear Golem is always in my side deck

Drink every time the words “ancient gear” are uttered in any way throughout this video! You’d be plastered 😂

Got soooo many otks with this deck Chaos Ancient Gear Giant is an absolute mad lad and I love playing this deck That is before someone stole it…

Holy shit I haven’t thought of Medabots in a long ass time. That’s some deep hardcore nostalgia. God I feel old as hell now

It would be pretty cool to see an update video on the new cards that released gears are sick ⚙️

TGS love your videos. I'm mostly a Duel Links player but played tcg back in 2010. Love the archetype videos. Must take a long time to make the quality and informative videos

The kids in my class are obsessed with the ancient gear cards

Fucking ancient gears, everywhere on duel links

Take a drink every time Sam says 'Ancient Gear' (or may just gear if you're brave)

Coolest archetype using it in master duels it’s sick

if you use ancient gear hydra , use ancient gear gadget to use both effects

MEDABOTS!

Odd eyes?

Chaos giant is one of the most powerful fusion cards in my opinion

One overpowered combo powerbond + ultimate ancient gear golem

when im using this archetype im just imagining soldiers shooting from trenches and using altilarry cannon.....AND I LOVE IT

They should do a synchro monster of an Ancient Gear

Ancient gear cards are by far my favorite

It looks like the machines the humans use against mutants in the Xmen

have to update this video with the new Ancient Gear cards that recently came out

My favourite card is Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon. Because i have an 8 card combo with it. (in order of summoning/activating) Geartown, MST (or a spell card that can destroy spell/traps), Ancient Gear Gadget, Psuedo Space, Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon, Ancient Gear Castle, Psychic Blade, Limitor Removal. Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon that can attack twice, piercing battle damage, with up to 10600 attack and 5300 defense. Basicly an instant win against most decks. Tell me a combo that can beat this i want to know. (read all the cards and effects above to know what you're up against)

Ancient gear golem used to scare me as a kid

Really really want Konami to release all the hunting hound monsters

My absolute favorite archtype in all of yugioh

The Hydra looks like to have right under the heads a space were the green, yellow and red gadget can be placed looking like the dile wich is similar to all those machines

Ah yes... I want this archtype banned in Duel Links, unfortunately most of the important cards are paid to get.

What about ancient gear dragon???

I love this archtype. USE POWER BOND TO GET A 9000 TOWER MONSTER WHAT NOW!??

6:45 anciet gear drill master

I love ancient gear monsters and the 2 I like the most are AGG and UAGG,also the card I think that goes with them but don't know if it counts as a ancient gear card is called cross-dimensional duel.

I really like it if you can make an Archetype about the speedroid cards used by yugo

Mind if I suggest the Junk/Synchron or Scrap archetype?

Oh I've been looking forward to this! The Antique Gear Archetype is my favorite archetype!
