Directly translated from your favorite non-English language.

The full spoiler for Fists of the Gadgets has been posted at the official database. There’s just a small catch: So far, it’s only available in French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. The English names and effects should be coming up soon. In the meantime, here’s a translation taken from the Spanish one. Note that some stylish naming choices were probably lost in translation from the English names.

With them making the old Boot-Up into a thing now, it's odd they chose not to support that in any way, would be nice to have a searcher for those cards. They are going for Equipping here huh? I guess it's more interesting than just making Xyzs or Link Monsters, though I am not sure if that's what most people would have preferred, but hey, I like the new playstyle.

[Tinkerer]

Why did they have to be "Machine" Gadget?  That's allowing stuff like the really bad Morphtronic-supporting Gadgets while completely leaving out the only non-Machine Gadget (Cyberse Gadget) who is actually good and whose effect could trigger even when equipped...

 

There's other things that bother me a bit, but they're even smaller design nitpicks.

 

I do like how Gear Strength is generic Machine support and is somewhat flexible as an offensive or defensive tool.  Powerhold is also cute for being potentially the strongest Trap Monster in the game (stat-wise).  Overall, I really like that ol' Dread Dynamo is getting rebooted (pun intended) and bringing its pals, regardless of how generally "meh" and personally annoying the overall series of cards is.

Nah, they needed the space for a second Yellow Gadget reprint.
