Green-YELLOW dragon? You mean Canopus? I didn't think I'd had Canopus out as a leader in a long time. The only green dragon I think I've been leading with has been green-RED (Brachys).

Speaking of Canopus: Did you guys hear about the new Machine type? I'm assuming that it's going to tend towards stats similar to Physical (high HP, low RCV). All of the Golems, Mechdragons, Chasers, and Evangelion REM monsters, plus a smattering of others, will be picking up Machine sub-types. God Canopus and Demon Hadar, being mechdragons with existing sub-types, will be temporarily type-changing: Canopus will lose God to gain Machine, and Hadar will lose Devil to gain Machine, and both will gain Machine-type leader skill bonuses (Canopus gives 1.5xRCV to Machine, Hadar gives 1.5xHP to Machine, in addition to their existing bonuses).

And I do say "temporarily," because apparently GungHo is working on allowing monsters to have THREE types, at which point Canopus becomes Dragon/God/Machine (... deus ex dracomachina?) and Hadar becomes Dragon/Devil/Machine... and who knows what other monsters might pick up extra types. (Droidragon / Top Droidragon seem like options here, as they're currently Physical/Dragon, and Puzzdroid is changing to Physical/Machine but its evolutions aren't currently.)

There's also new uvos for Machine Golem mk.III and Dark Golem mk.III that look ridiculously crazy. For one thing, the Breakers' Armor Break skill (all of them, not just the uvos) is getting buffed -- not only does it still cause a 75% defense reduction for all enemies for 5 turns, but now it's also decreasing damage taken for 5 turns as well. They also have TONS of awoken skills -- notably, they're both unbindable after 4 awakenings, and then still have more orb enhancers after that. Machine Golem's new Leader Skill is "Quatro Charger" and provides 1.35xATK/RCV to Machine Types and 4xATK when matching four different colors or three plus heal (like DQXQ). Dark Golem's new Leader Skill is "Quatro Generator" and is the same except it's HP/ATK instead of ATK/RCV.

Their uvo materials are ridiculous: two Keepers of Gold plus all three golem uvos (which need three KoG's each) for a total of 11 KoG's. @.@
