Not a bad idea, but I still want it to be able to have a special eff when summoned using the Union/Gemini monsters, so I've changed it. The first effect you mentioned is added, except I added a clause where if the added card was an equip spell, it could equip itself to Researcher. I've removed the previous Union/Gemini effects and changed it into this: "If your opponent activates a card, and this card was Link Summoned using a Gemini monster (Quick Effect): negate the activation, then if you also used a Union monster to Link Summon this card, add 1 "Forumbliz" monster from your Deck, GY, or face-up in your Extra Deck to your hand"

This card is treated as a Normal monster while face-up on the field or in the GY. While this card is a Normal Monster on the field, you can Normal Summon it to have it become an Effect Monster with this effect:
● (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon 2 of your "Forumblitz" monsters that are in your Deck, GY, face-up in your Extra Deck, and/or that are banished, but their effects are negated. You can only use this effect of "Forumblitz Apprentice" once per turn.
Yeah, that's reasonable. No issue with changing it into that.

During the Battle or End Phase: Special Summon a number of your "Forumblitz" monsters that are in your Deck, GY, face-up in your Extra Deck, and/or that are banished equal to the number of "Forumblitz" cards in your Pendulum Zones, but they cannot attack this turn. If you have 3 or more cards in your hand, you can activate this card the turn it was Set. You can only activate 1 "Forumblitz Barricade" per turn.
Yeah, that's fair. Although, I'm almost certain that this archetype is 90% busted and a Tier-1 deck purely because of how consistent it is. Some of these cards need to lock the player out of summoning outside of their archetype. I can easily imagine these cards being used as an engine in other decks to bring out powerful Rank 4 Xyz and Level 8 Synchro monsters. With that in mind, I'm adding an archetype summoning limit to the Trap card. That's just my opinion, though, and probably unneeded, but I can't help but be wary.
That's fine, although there are still some minor grammar and PSCT errors with those changes, and other things can be changed to make your effects shorter and easier to read.
For Forumblitz Apprentice, there should be a space between the bullet point and (Quick Effect). Right now it's
●(Quick Effect)
when it should be
● (Quick Effect)
Also, after "● (Quick Effect):" it should say "You can Special Summon" not just "Special Summon".
For the trap, it should say
'Special Summon
a number of your "Forumblitz" monsters
that are in your hand, GY, face-up in your Extra Deck, and/or banished equal to the number of "Forumblitz" cards in your Pendulum Zones'
not
'Special Summon "Forumblitz" monsters
from your hand, GY,
or face-up in your Extra Deck, and/or banished equal to the number of "Forumblitz" cards in your Pendulum Zones'.
When specifying multiple possible locations you can special summon from, you don't include "or" or "and/or" more than once in that sentence. In other words, you don't say "Special Summon from location x,
or location y,
and/or location z". You just say "Special Summon from location x, location y, or location z," or if you're bringing out multiple monsters, you say "and/or location z".
Also, you can change
'You cannot Special Summon monsters the turn you activate this card, except for "Forumblitz" monsters'
to
'You cannot Summon the turn you activate this card, except "Forumblitz" monsters'.
It's shorter, easier to read, and uses up less characters.
Also, the "If you have 3 or more cards in your hand" part should come before the "You cannot Summon" part so that too makes the card easier to read.
For the link monster, where it says "from your Deck or GY to your hand; and if it was an Equip Spell," there should be a comma between "hand" and "and," not a semi colon. Also, instead of "and if it
was an Equip Spell" you can say "and if it
is an Equip Spell" so it takes less characters and makes it shorter and easier to read.
The effect that triggers "If your opponent activates a card" should specify if it's "If your opponent activates a card or effect" or just "If your opponent activates a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect," or something like that so there isn't any confusion. Also, the word "negate" in "(Quick Effect): negate the activation" should be capitalized since it's coming right after a colon.
I agree that some of the forumblitz cards should limit you to only being able to summon forumblitz monsters so they aren't too overpowered. I might ask for my forumblitz scout to have the same kind of restriction. I only didn't because I thought people would try to mix this with monsters that were not forumblitz monsters.
