Nice 2100 beatstick, and shuts down Grepher, Bora and.....Well, thats it :P At least Insects get a big lv4 monster that doesn't have many drawbacks (Half lifepoints, draw card, etc.)

interesting effect...and there's also Shura, D.D. Survivor, but they don't rly pose threats to his high ATK...even so..its a Koa'ki Meiru monster so i still want it lol

Wow, what an unoriginal name for a Koa'ki Meiru monster. They couldn't name him Beetle-Driver or something more inspired?

And the effect seems rather weird to me; why only level 4 DARK monsters? Unless it's to stop the summoning of Dark Grepher, the only DARK monsters that most people will summon are level 3 or lower (Neo-Spacian Dark Panther, Krebons, Plaguespreader Zombie, etc) or Dark Armed Dragon. Can someone explain to me what good this card is supposed to be against the current meta?

It goes without saying that I like Koa’ki Meirus so i will go to sneek preview.

Kinda meh card right here. While 2100 ATK is decent for a Level 4 monster, there are just better monsters out there. Both in terms of ATK and effect.
Level 4 DARK monster Special Summoned in face-up Attack Position? So what, their effects are still active? And it has to be Special Summoned? Wow, a very narrow and specific type and level of monster?
Doesn't matter since you can just use it for Synchro Summon. About 95% of the Synchros in the game have ATK higher than this card.
And don't get me started on it being a Koaki Meiru.

First off, Insects are not very good. Second, its effect isnt godly (excluding the level 4 part). And the fact a DARK monster has to be SPECIAL SUMMONED is terrible......

Please guys, just wait:

THE EFFECT IS TOTALLY UNCONFIRMED YET.

regardless of the effect, i'm still gonna use it mainly out of its ATK being on par w/Powerhand

Was thinking a bit and I reckon if Koa'ki Meirus had something like these then it might be rather good:

Refined Core of Koa'ki Meiru
Spell (Normal)
This card's name is treated as "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" while it is in your hand or your Graveyard. If this card is in your Graveyard during your End Phase, you can return it to your hand by removing 1 "Koa'ki Meiru" monster in your Graveyard from play.

Heart of Iron
Trap (Continuous)
During your Draw Phase, if you draw or add an "Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru" to your hand, you can draw 1 card. Pay 500 Life Points during each of your Standby Phases. If you do not, destroy this card.

Things like this might make Koa'ki Meiru-oriented decks more viable, rather than just having splash cards for over decks.

(If this is too off-topic I'll delete this, just wanted to know what people thought :3)

The owner of the card shop I go to got a poster advertising the sneak and the effect of Beetle on it (since it was a good bit bigger) was the same first part, but the second was whenever any light of dark monster was SS'd change it to defense position.

When will hidden arsenal be legal for tourney?
