Being only a Rare is highly surprising as it's a major powerhouse in most cases.

Zane Truesdale (DP04-EN012)

Zane Truesdale (DP04-EN006)
Cyber Phoenix
FIRE / Effect Monster / Level 4 / ATK 1200 / DEF 1600
(Machine / Effect)
While this card is in face-up Attack Position, negate the effects of any Spell or Trap Card that targets 1 Machine-Type monster you control. When this face-up card attacks or is attacked, and it is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, you can draw 1 card.

Rating: 1 out of 5
1200 ATK won't allow it to last long enough for the first effect to matter.

Zane Truesdale (DP04-EN005)
Cyber Kirin
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 3 / ATK 300 / DEF 800
(Machine / Effect)
By Tributing this card, any effect damage inflicted to you this turn becomes 0.

Mostly only useful for countering Power Bond's side-effect.

Zane Truesdale (DP04-EN004)

1000 ATK and DEF weaker than the original, and only (barely) helps on the field.

Cyber Laser Dragon
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 7 / ATK 2400 / DEF 1800
(Machine / Effect)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with "Photon Generator Unit". Once per turn, you can destroy 1 monster with ATK or DEF greater than or equal to this card's ATK.

Cyber Barrier Dragon
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 6 / ATK 800 / DEF 2800
(Machine / Effect)
This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card cannot be Special Summoned except with "Attack Reflector Unit". While this card is in Attack Position, your opponent's first attack each turn is negated.

Its DEF would've made it at least an okay defense, but it has to be in Attack Mode with such low ATK.

Zane Truesdale (DP04-EN001)
Cyber Dragon (2nd artwork)
LIGHT / Effect Monster / Level 5 / ATK 2100 / DEF 1600
(Machine / Effect)
