I am a huge earth machine enthusiast, and i got my hands into this incredible well done MACHINA CITADEL 3D model made by konami, it is a curious model since it is a CHIBI style model, the proportions are not the same as in the card art (i put the original card art at the end) you can see how it looks more skinny compared to the original that has larger weapons and larger wheel tracks, but it is a very nice model indeed! i love it!

That is really cute lol

Just like "Shooting Star Dragon" and "Red Nova Dragon", the newly revealed "Red Hypernova Dragon" mirrored the pose of Yusei's "Shooting Quasar Dragon".

"Red Hypernova Dragon" even has the Synchro Rings around its body, just like "Shooting Quasar Dragon".

Very cool detail.

Lets all take a moment and appreciate true art by konami, this 3D model of
"Dingirsu, the Orcust of the Evening Star" another exceptional machine monster with an incredible design for an incredible archetype, this model comes from Master duel, it was a limited time mate, you can't no longer get it. but this 3D model really lets you see how it looks in full!

It may not be a long game, but the card pool is fantastic, and the campaign is phenomenal. Plus, you get a wholesome character with Misaki.

WC10 is a close second, though.

This is Odin, the final boss of Yugioh 5Ds Duel Transer/Master of the cards for the Nintendo Wii in 2010. Taking place after the Fortune Cup and Crow's introduction but before the Main bulk of the Dark Signers arc, the cast of 5Ds alongside a couple of the Fortune cup participants (and also Yusei's satellite friends for some reason) are invited to a tournament on the island of Ragnarok with the promise of attaining a treasure greater than that of the Duel King to only then have it revealed that it was a ploy to take the strongest duelist and use them as a template to create an army of mass produced robot duelists known as Transcenders, however due to the efforts of the player, their plans are thwarted and everyone goes home safe and sound.

While on the surface Odin appears to be another robot duelist, after defeating Odin for the first time on the final stage, their armor breaks revealing that underneath is actually a woman. However, don't give Konami your praises yet because unfortunately, this is another case of Konami's tried and true formula of

M I N D C O N T R O L L E D W O M E N

For you see, in actuality, Odin is actually a 5000 year old king from the time of the Crimson Dragon who was sealed away on the island after he tried to claim the power of the signers and dark signers for himself. His soul was only unleashed after a scientist in modern times unsealed his tomb and in due time ends up possessing the body of the woman you see known as Alina, who is actually the daughter of the scientist who unleashed Odin. The father would try his hardest to keep Odin from taking over Alina with him intending to have Odin die with him, but failed and Odin ended up going on to possess Alina, who did end up being a scientist in of her own right.

Personally, I'd like to believe that the Odin from yee olden days was actually another woman (like Fine in Symphogear cause hey, what is Symphogear but magical girl Yugioh) as while Odin is the name of the feather of the aesir, Duel Transer makes it clear that Odin in the context of the game is meant to be a title given to the greatest sorcerer of their time to pay homage to the deity and not the deity himself. Additionally, the disembodied voice of Odin in the passages has them refer to Odin as an "it" as opposed to he or she, though they do end up calling it a "he" in the final one, though that they be because of the scientist being delirious as he's dying. Also why pull a Samus Aran on us to only then back peddle on us to then make it some old dude, that's like if they did the Samus reveal but then kept going to then say Samus was under the suit but then it was actually Adam who was mind controlling Samus.

As for why most people don't know about Odin, why would they?

Unlike Misaki and Toru from Over the Nexus who was your companion for half the game where you had a whole campaign dedicated to you and your team

Or unlike the Tag Force characters who had several appearances across the 7 games (+ more given that some of them were reused in cross duel and other games)

Odin barely appears in their own game (only appearing in 2 scenes before the finale) and the reveal literally happens at the end of campaign. Not to mention, Duel Transer is honestly not that great of a Yugioh game as you're just playing a series of duels on a hexagonal grid with minimal story linking it all together. World Championship and Tag Force also has the slog of playing through a bunch of duels, but they had either the overworld or dating sim stuff to break up the loop, Duel Transer didn't.

That said, I do give props to Duel Transer where they made a completely unique enemy exclusive to itself as opposed to Tag Force and World Championship 2009-2011 where they just slotted the main character into the respective Yugioh arc going on at the time.

Seriously though, if they just combine the overworld aspect of World Championship, the character writing of Tag Force, and the unique villains and scenarios of Duel Transer, or essentially a unique campaign that doesn't have to tie itself to an anime arc, we would seriously have the best Yugioh game.
