DINOTRUX
https://www.duelingbook.com/deck?id=10659977
Year of Origin: 2015.....oh wait a minute, they debuted in 2009 as children's books?!
Is it real?: Yes
Ace Monster: Dinotrux T-Rux Charged
The Main Races: Dinosaur
The Main Attributes: EARTH
Extra Monsters: Xyz
Attack: 1/5
Defence: 5/5
Strategy: 4/5
Intellect: 5/5
Luck: 4/5
THE STORY:
You've heard of the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretacous Eras, but what about the Mechazoic era? There, dinosaurs mixed with construction vehicles roamed the earth. A group of them teamed together to fight against the dastardly D-Structs!
STRATEGY:
Crank the defensive strategy up to eleven! Summon powerful walls, force your enemy monsters to attack them, and sit back and watch as your opponent wears himself out to death!
With no need to attack, anti-attack options are useless against the Dinotrux. They can Xyz Summon quickly to bring out powerful walls that no-one can get past, such as their ace card, Dinotrux Ty-Rux Charged, who has a whopping 4200 DEF, that can be doubled to 8400 with D2 Shield, can protect other Dinotrux, and can choose the targets of enemy attacks!
Your opponents will think twice before doing the logical solution of just switching their monsters to Defence Position themselves: Dinotrux Showdown protects you from damage and makes your enemy monsters attack twice, Dinotrux Roar provides a DEF boost and can revive as well, Dinotrux Dozer Sr, Charged can switch all enemy monsters back to Attack Position and synergizes with Final Attack Orders, and Dinotrux Skya doubles all deflected battle damage!
KILLER COMBOS:
Dinotrux Ton-Ton can easily set up a Dinotrux Ty-Rux Charged summon by Special Summoning a Dinotrux from the hand and doubling their levels to 8. Dinotrux Ty-Rux can bring itself out when a Dinotrux is destroyed, and Dinotrux Garby is a dreaded Hand Trap that can boost DEF and revive itself by banishing a level 4 Dinotrux monster.
At last, a deck where D2 Shield is useful! As mentioned earlier, Dinotrux Ty-Rux Charged is it's best target: with it, no monster can get past Dinotrux Ty-Rux Charged without ATK boosts or taking damage!

james123's changes are now live, but with an exception to Dinotrux Supercharge, which no longer counts one material as 2, and Dinotrux Revvit, who loses his ability to double the DEF of an Xyz monster he's attached to, they are mostly wording changes and many effects becoming hard once per turns....except for one. Now the Dinotrux have a glaring weakness....TO NON-EFFECT MONSTERS!!!
But, on the plus side, monsters summoned by Dinotrux Rampage no longer self destruct at the end of the turn, and Dinotrux Ty-Rux gets a new ability to further enhance the DEF of Rank 4 monsters!
Thank you for the changes, james123...let's hope Christen57 can come back sooner than later!

Forgetting something about Showdown? And to clean this up, Most of the Dinotrux that have "If all monsters you control are in Defense Position, all Effect monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able." should be changed to "If all monsters you control are in Defense Position (min. 1), all Effect monsters your opponent controls must attack, if able." Plus a Minor typo on "Dinotrux Roar" can be fixed on by changing the part that says "tyou" to "you" and the part on "Dinotrux Dozer, Sr Charged" that says "Defesce" can be changed to "Defense".
