So the card itself can equip itself to a Galaxy or Photon like a Persudo Union Monster to give ATK boost and protection from battle destruction. In addition it can also destroy itself quickly afterwards in order to search. The card itself is quick and effective for its searching effect which makes itself a nice addition for Galaxy/Photon.

Okay, I'm looking at this card and the more I do, the more advantages and disadvantages I see for it.

 

500 ATK means Machine Dupe target :) but not Triple Searching, that effect has a hard HOPT :(

 

but it can help to make Starliege Photon Blast Dragon, and its overlapping effects means equipping Orbital to that monster makes it essentially invincible :) to everything short of Kaijus and Borreload :(

 

Speaking of offering improvements to the Xyz lineup, it can double as both fodder for both Full Armor Photon's attachment effect :) and give Number 90: Photon Lord 3000 ATK and destruction immunity :D and its searching can get you Galaxy Soldier to help go to INFINITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY and beyond  :wub: but MST can negate that :mad:

 

okay, enough with the emoticons, this is an all around great card to cap off an all-around great pool of support.  Photons lead the way in new waves by a substantial margin, and that's not even counting what it's got now with Photon Sanctuary, Titantic Galaxy, Photon Lord....

Why didn't they give this the " (This is always treated as Orbital 7) " clause? Feels like a missed opportunity for it to be paired with http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Lillybot_(card) and general continuity of flavor. At least if Lillybot was in the picture Photon/ Galaxy would have more of reason to use Machine Duplication outside of this and Photon Satellite.

Because in the near future they could make a Photon Lilybot to go with Photon Orbital.

 

Still this as a machine dupe target makes for the hilarious play where you can basically go, Special Summon a thrasher, play this, machine dupe for 3 Photon Orbital, equip and destroy the first for search, Xyz Summon Starliege Photon Blast Dragon with Thrasher and second then equip the third onto Starliege Photon Blast Dragon.

 

Then with this you got to search a Photon card and get a Starliege Photon Blast Dragon with over 2000 ATK so it can protect itself with its own effect.
