The effect of "Machina Armored Unit" which Special Summons a monster from your Deck activates and starts a Chain Link when a Machine-Type monster which was destroyed by battle is sent to the Graveyard.: Spell Card > Machina Armored Unit

"Machina Armored Unit" refers to the destroyed monster's ATK and Attribute while the destroyed monster is in the Graveyard when determining which monsters may be Special Summoned from the Deck.: "Machina Armored Unit" Special Summons a monster based on the Attribute and ATK at what time?
Example: If "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" with 1400 original ATK is destroyed by battle while it is being treated as an EARTH monster by "DNA Transplant", then "Fusilier Dragon, the Dual-Mode Beast" has 2800 ATK and is a DARK monster while in the Graveyard, so you can Special Summon a DARK Machine-Type monster with 2799 ATK or less.

If a Machine-Type monster is destroyed by battle while you control multiple copies of "Machina Armored Unit", then you can activate each copy's effect in a Chain. Each effect will resolve and Special Summon another Machine-Type monster.: Can you Special Summon multiple monsters if there are multiple copies of "Machina Armored Unit" on the field?

The effect of "Machina Armored Unit" can only be activated if the destroyed monster is a Machine both when it was destroyed by battle and when it is sent to the Graveyard. Thus, you cannot activate the effect of "Machina Armored Unit" if the monster is not a Machine while it is face-up on the field because of "DNA Surgery", nor if the monster is not a Machine while it is in the Graveyard.: If a monster whose Type is not Machine while it is on the field or in the Graveyard is destroyed by battle, then can the effect of "Machina Armored Unit" be activated?

Suppose your opponent controls a Machine-Type monster that you own while "Machina Armored Unit" is active. If a Machine-Type monster that you own and control attacks your opponent's and both monsters are destroyed, then both monsters are sent to your Graveyard at the same time. At this time, if you activate the effect of "Machina Armored Unit", then you must declare one of those monsters and have "Machina Armored Unit" use only that monster.: If multiple monsters are destroyed by battle simultaneously, then which monsters' Attributes and ATKs does "Machina Armored Unit" reference?
