The /Assault Modes, known as /Busters in the OCG, are a series of monsters, that are powered-up Effect Monster versions of already-existing Synchro Monsters, Summoned by using "Assault Mode Activate" on the corresponding Synchro Monster. Aesthetically, the /Assault Mode cards are re-armored counterparts of the original monster.
There are also some support cards to Assault Mode Activate. Those cards help to bring Assault Mode Activate to its maximum potential and are powerful cards in their own right, often having high ATK for their Level and helping the user control the field.
The "/Assault Mode" version has the same name as its counterpart, but with "/Assault Mode" at the end. They have 500 more ATK and DEF, two more levels and a more powerful version of the Synchro Monster's effect (For example Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode can be released whenever a spell/trap/monster effect is activated whereas Stardust Dragon can only be released to negate a spell/trap/monster effect that would destroy a card). When the "/Assault Mode" monster is destroyed, the regular version may be Special Summoned from the Graveyard.
Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas have used "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" and "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" in a special episode shown at an anime tour.
