Transcode Talker
Earth Cyberse / Link / Effect
Link 3 2300 / T R B
2+ Effect monsters
You can only use this card name’s (2) effect once per turn.
(1) If this card is co-linked, it and the monster(s) it is co-linked with gain 500 ATK, and cannot be targeted by an opponent’s card effect.
(2) You can target 1 Link 3 or lower Cyberse Link Monster in your GY, except “Transcode Talker”; Special Summon it to your zone this card points to. You cannot Special Summon monsters during the turn you activate this effect, except Cyberse monsters.

 

So, this is the newest in the code Talker Archetype, and it's probably one of the best ones so far in my opinion! Being able to grab back whatever you used for its Link Summon is very powerful. While it cannot be as easily used in non-Cyberse Decks, it's still possible if you plan your cards right, Firewallk Dragon is within reach fairly quickly this way. Along with that, it can be a fast 2800 that's immune to targeting as well, which is pretty alright.

Not digging the design and art on this one, effect and implications are good but nothing special. I am absolutely analyzing every card to make a deck that can abuse Troymare's to full potential.

Yeah, it looks like a knock-off Transformer, pretty boring compared to the other ones. Not sure if this will be too useful, since they are Fiend, not Cyberse.

Reviving a LINK MONSTER and being able to do colink stuff as well? If Yusaku uses this once and the forgets it exists I’ll be mad at him for wasting potential.

 

Also, very few Link 4s exist for it not to target, so it’s better.

Frankly, I like that not every Summon is Decode Talker, Yuma had a hardon for Utopia, and that got boring quick.

Yuma: Oh, no what do I do?

Astral: Yuma, remember that you have other-

Yuma: I know! I’ll bring out Utopia!

Astral: But Yuma, you can use Gagaga-

Yuma: I Overlay Level 4 Gagaga Magician and Gogogo Golem!

I think there is a balance to strike here. A character overusing a card for every situation despite having other tools is bad, but Summoning everything just once and moving on is too.

Yusaku has a ton of one-shots although Code Talkers and Firewall are cool. Link Spider probably being the only Link 2 or lower he's Summoned more than once.... Though I'm like 8 episodes behind so I'd like to be pleasantly surprised.
