STAT/REQUIREMENTS:

~..this card is a 1800 atk monster,quite high for a LV4 monster and a 1200 def..nothing much can be said about it's stats..being synchro monster,this card can't do be summoned in any way other than synchro summon at first..

Rating:no comment/10

EFFECT:

~..the first thing we need to know is this card is a LV4 synchro monster..for me,there's pros n cons for being a LV4 synchro..

~..1stly,this card is among the best card to be summoned using LV1 tuners such as Hanewata,White of Legend or basically any LV1 tuners as they can tune with LV3 monster such as Marshmallon n Spirit Reaper to form this piece of metal..other way of tuning are 2+2 or 3+1..by 2+2,Zombie Carrier is the best bet and for 3+1,Junk Synchron + Tuning Supporter seems good..

~..the cons of this card for me is it's LV..a weaker LV synchro monster does proof to be hard to summon..that's why LV6 synchro's are the best..Rescue Cat can bring this card quickly,but i'd rather synchro for Brionac or something better..

~..the 1st effect of this card is UNION effect..meaning that it can be a monster or an equip magic..when equipped,the equipped monster gain a huge 1000 atk points and E.Hero Flame Wingman's effect..

~..while this effect lacks the true union's "if the equipped monster is to be destroyed,destroy this card instead" effect,it does proves to be useful..but synchro summoning this card without a monster on the field seems rather wasting..therefore,for me this card is quite situational..having 2 monster to tune this one and needing another monster to equipped it too seems stupid sometimes..thus,making this card SITUATIONAL..it think this card as a 2-tribute LV4 monster that needs 1 more monster to work with..

~..if this card becomes a monster,then it's just a heavy LV4 hitter..but it's effect is still good as even if equipped to a low level monster it still can deal a lot of damge..this card is fun if used with Mental Sphere Demon(gaining life points while burning opponent and protection too..) and Black Rose Dragon,
since it calculates the destroyed monster's ATK in the graveyard, if you use Black Rose Dragon's effect, you will both deal a lot of battle damage to the opponent with Black Rose Dragon, and then Arms Aid's effect will inflict even more damage to the opponent(got off from wikia..)

RATING:5/10

OVERALL:

~..this card is a must for my Extra Deck..but not going to summon it intentionally though..i'll only summon it if i HAVE too..this card will slow me down if i summon it without thinking..this card can prove to be game winning if use in the right situation..and the atk boost is quite high..making even a low level monster equipped with this card to be very competitive..

Rating:6/10
