I was on YouTube looking up Dinosaur Tributes, and in the advertisement bar I saw Axytoys Dinosaur Battlefield Action Figures/model kits. That’s when an idea crossed my mind, and from that idea was born the Gladiatosaur Archetype. Visually and name wise it is a combination of Dinowrestler and Armatos Legio, being humanoid dinosaurs in gladiator armor with names that are a portmanteau of dinosaur/ Mesozoic creatures names and weapons used in and rulers of Ancient Rome. Play style wise they are similar to the “Dragunity” archetype in that they equip themselves to their tribe mates and give them advantages especially if they equip themselves to a Link Monster. For instance “Gladiatosaur - Gallimimus Gladius” can equip itself from the hand, Field or Deck (they all do that) and instills 700 ATK to the equipped “Gladiatosaur”, then, if it’s a Link Monster it instantly destroys any monster it battles. This equip effect can only be used once per turn and the also have effects that they can use when they are not equipped.

So what do you think about this archetype from this introduction?
