"Mekk-Knight", known as "Jack-Knights" (ジャックナイツ Jakkunaitsu) in the OCG, is an archetype largely comprised of LIGHT Psychic monsters debuting in Extreme Force. The archetype is both related to, and is supported by, the "World Legacy" archetype, and is a part of the 'World Legacy' storyline.
The kanji kikai-kishi (機界騎士, lit. "Machine World Knight") is applied to the "Jack-Knights" (ジャックナイツ Jakkunaitsu) reading in the Japanese names of the main "Mekk-Knight" monsters.
Unlike the other members, "Mekk-Knight of the Morning Star" uses the kanji kikai-kishi (機械騎士, lit. "Machinery Knight") instead. Kikai (機械 "machinery") is a homophone of kikai (機界, "machine world"), substituting the kanji kai (界, "world") with kai (械, "contraption").
The archetype's OCG name "Jack-Knights" is named after jack plugs, a type of electrical connector typically used for analog audio signals. Fittingly, several of the "Mekk-Knights" possess jack plugs for arms, implying that they plug their arms into their weapons. The act of plugging may also be a reference to the archetype's Link Summon playstyle.
The audio aspect of jack plugs is thematic with the musical themes of the related "Knightmare" and "Orcust" archetypes. Jack plugs can also be seen as analogous of keys, which relates to the original role of the "Mekk-Knights" as machines that harness the power of the 'Key'.
The TCG names of the "Mekk-Knight" monsters reference various celestial phenomena.
The main seven Main Deck "Mekk-Knight" monsters take the form of robotic humanoid beings. Each "Mekk-Knight" possesses star-shaped cores, along with glowing energy lines on their bodies, color-coded with the colors of the visible spectrum.
In the "World Legacy" storyline, the cores of the "Mekk-Knights" were extracted by "Knightmare Corruptor Iblee" to create the "Knightmare" monsters, with the exception of "Mekk-Knight Blue Sky". "Blue Sky" passed down its power onto "Auram the World Chalice Blademaster" instead.
The main "Mekk-Knight" Link Monsters possess special statuses among the "Mekk-Knights". "Mekk-Knight Spectrum Supreme" is the combination of all 7 "Mekk-Knights", and it is represented by the visible spectrum of colors. "Mekk-Knight of the Morning Star" was the original "Mekk-Knight", while the other 7 "Mekk-Knights" were created as secondary support machines.
Several "Mekk-Knight" monsters are upgraded forms of the protagonists in the "World Legacy" storyline. Their archetypal names also connect them to their own secondary archetypes. Notably, "Mekk-Knight Avram" and "Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax" are color-coded with the color blue. This represents the power that "Auram" inherited from "Blue Sky", as depicted in "World Legacy Succession" and "Crusadia Testament".
The "Mekk-Knight" archetype's playstyle focuses on Special Summoning high Level monsters while there are two or more cards in the same column, in order to swarm the field and generate hand advantage. In addition to depending on column setups for the Summoning effect of the Main Deck monsters, most of the Effect Monsters and much of their Spell/Trap support are based on being in the same column as an opponent's card (or the opposite, with "Morning Star" and "Spectrum Supreme"). The archetype is played in a control-beatdown playstyle, focusing on strategic disruptions, resource accumulation, and high-ATK monsters to close the game quickly over a few turns.
The seven key Main Deck "Mekk-Knight" Effect Monsters share the following effect:
"If 2 or more cards are in the same column, you can Special Summon this card (from your hand) in that column. You can only Special Summon "..." once per turn this way."
