「キメラテック・フォートレス・ドラゴン」

VJMP-JP025 Chimeratech Fortress Dragon [Ultra Rare]
Dark/Machine - Fusion - Effect/8/0/0
"Cyber Dragon" + 1 or more Machine-Type monster
This card cannot be used as a Fusion-Material Monster. This card cannot be Special Summoned from the fusion deck except by sending the above mentioned cards from the field to the Graveyard. (The Magic card "Fusion" is not used). The original ATK of this card becomes the number of Fusion-Material Monsters used x 1000.

Its time to look at the lastest V-Jump promo!

This card is most probably the only card with the easiest fusion requirements. Why?
Because the card says the field and not only just your field but your opponent's field too.
So there are many ways to fusion summon this card!
Lets say your opponent has a machine-subtype monster on his side of the field and you have a Cyber Dragon on your side of the field. You will automatically get a 2000 atk Fortress Dragon!
Or lets say we have many many monsters on the field, the combo for this card is "DNA Surgery" to change all monsters on the field into machine type monsters! And you will get a very very very very big Chimeratech Fortress Dragon! This card is potentially broken and easy to use. It can also help u get rid of Jinzo in times you need to use your traps!
Gadgets are no longer safe to play. If your opponent has a Cyber Dragon and afew Gadgets, and you've got no monsters... You declare a fusion summon of your own Chimeratech Fortress Dragon using opponent's monsters as the fusion materials! Super creature removal + Big monster for opponent to get rid of! However, cards like bottomless trap hole are still able to destroy it as it automatically becomes the atk of how many fusion materials x 1000. This card is still easy to destroy. There are still Reactive Armors, Earth Smash, Fissure, Brainwash, System down, etc. The good thing about this card is that it is not able to be used as a fusion material for any monster. Eg. Chimeratech Fortress Dragon or Chimeratech Over Dragon.

I'm quite sure that this card will have a big impact on the metagame. It is either Konami decides to Errata its text to limit the fusion materials to only on your side of the field, or just simply ban this card. Because I'm quite sure that many of you will be seeing this card flying around frequently.

Card Rating: 9.9/10
Too broken already, considering the only condition for you to use this card is to have a Cyber Dragon or Proto Cyber Dragon. Its just too easy to use.

Usually you can tribute only monsters you control...

don't needs the text "on your field".

Is written "on the field" and you know that you can tribute only monsters you control.

Hi it's already been confirmed to be able to use opponent's monster as material.
