![]() ![]() That’s a nice attack increase, and it certainly will help, and you can even use it on a separate one of these. During the End Phase, once per Turn also, of your Turn, you can Target a separate Insect you control for it to gain 1000 attack. You can remove it yourself for this, BUT, there’s no reward for it Special Summoning itself aside from the revival itself…which is odd. It Special Summons itself when removed from play OR destroyed by Effect, but ONLY during the Main Phase…and note that’s only an opponent’s Card Effect. Getting the resources back IS good, and that makes the 3 requirement a little easier to swallow. Can’t be Normal Summoned/Set, which we never like, and can only be Special Summoned by cycling 3 (should only be 2) of your removed from play Insects back to your Main Deck. ![]() Speaking of Insects with 3000 attack (and defense) here’s Heavy Beetrooper Mighty Neptune. It isn’t amazing, but it gives the archetype some recovery of their banished cards. ![]() You might not want to buff the Link-4 if you want that protection, but this helps your smaller Insects not be able to be destroyed in battle so easily. This is a hard once per turn effect, but the last effect is a soft once per turn to boost another Insect monster you control by 1000 ATK, making some of your bigger Insects even stronger. During the Main Phase, if this card in its owner’s control is destroyed or banished by the opponent’s effect, you get to Special Summon it, making sure the opponent has to get rid of it twice if they’re trying to do it without being able to run it over. You’re also getting that massive Insect to help some of your effects that need the 3000+ ATK Insects. Either way, nice way for Beetroopers to recover their Insects into the Deck that you likely banished off Assault Roller, Aztekipede, Doom Dozer, or Armor Horn. So we see this cannot be Normal Summoned or Set and must first be Special Summoned from the hand by shuffling 3 of your banished Insects into the Main Deck, so no recycling Extra Deck cards. Really strong stats, EARTH and Insect are pretty nice as well. Mighty Neptune is a Level 8 EARTH Insect with 3000 ATK and DEF. Next up we got a massive Insect for Beetroopers to use in the Main Deck: Heavy Beetrooper Mighty Neptune. There may be more banish Beetrooper cards to help Neptune along, but even if there isn’t, it can stand decently with the right cards. ![]() The cycle-back effect from banished ties in with Assault Roller and Doom Dozer and keeps Neptune from being dropped easily off of you making a quick Link 3 or 4. The ATK boost could be better if it were activated once per turn in your Main Phase to keep it fair. With it being in the End Phase you have to hope you have another Insect monster on the field to be able to benefit and really take advantage of the effect, otherwise you’re just trying to protect something from being run over next turn. It would’ve been great to do this on this card, but you can’t target this card, shame. I don’t like that it has to be in the End Phase, but since it can be done either turn you can boost multiple times on an Insect. Assault Roller would become 2800ATK after its boost and this boost, Scout Buggy would be 2000ATK, and Scale Bomber would be 2200ATK. The ATK boost this gives helps the Beetrooper monsters become more adapt to staying on the field rather than being easily run over by even Main Deck monsters. While it is only once per turn it will force your opponent to plan how to use their cards since you WILL be bringing this back once it is destroyed or banished. Torrential Tribute, Lightning Storm, Dark Hole, Raigeki, spot removal, this card laughs at them all. Normally it is only destruction, but including removal covers a lot of cards. Neptune will bring itself back in the Main Phase if destroyed or banished by the opponent, now that’s an effect. Beetrooper don’t normally banish with the exception of this card and Assault Roller, so you’ll be using something else within the deck like Doom Dozer (Demise OTK/FTK back in the day). Shuffle three banished Insect monsters back to Special Summon Neptune is a great way of getting back banished Beetrooper monsters while preventing this from being an easily Special Summoned monster, even though it restricts you to “Main Deck” so any banished Extra Deck Insects are out of play. Heavy Beetrooper Mighty Neptune is one of those six Insect monsters with base 3000ATK mentioned yesterday. ![]()
