Only if we get RUM Astral Force, and even then you'd need to use Astral Force on specifically an EARTH Warrior-Type Rank 3.

This card won't see play that much because of that.

Good effect, but 3 Level 5 as material is too demanding.

Dubs are evil. They intend to cause the most damage and ruin the most they can, so they'll change even names that are already western.

The effect is not good at all.

flipping all your opponent's face-down monster into face-up attack position means your opponent is now susceptible to battle damage, plus, no effect activated means if your opponent sets a Flip monster, you won't get punished for flipping it face-up.

Like the OP said, too many resources for a mild effect at best. Barring specific decks like Subterror, not many players put more than one monster facedown at once.

If your LP are 1000 or lower, this monster can add one random Cyberse-type Link Monster to your Extra Deck.

This should get a C rating:

"3 Level 5 monsters"
Too low stats for those summoning requirements.

"When this card is Special Summoned: Change all face-down Defense Position monsters on the field to face-up Attack Position. (Flip Effects are not activated.)"
It only affects face-down monsters. So it won't be good against Cocytus or stall decks.

"At the end of the Damage Step, if this card attacked a monster: You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 monster your opponent controls with the highest ATK (your choice, if tied); this card can attack once again in a row, on that monster."
You can't even select the second target. You have to choose the monster with the highest ATK. And it might happen quite often that it has more ATK than Playmaker.

If the first effect would also apply to face-up defense position monsters and the last effect would just be "attack any monster", then it would be a nice card for an OTK, if you somehow manage to summon it. But this is just trash.

The only useful scenario is, that the opponent plays a stall deck and you can get rid off their backrow and he only has a set Obnoxious Celtic Guard and you're able to summon this card. But that is way too specific to justify the usage of this card.

C? This doesn't even worth of a D. Should be E at best.

When I opened this page for the first time, I thought it was the main character of VRAINS.
