Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem
Fusion Monster (Machine / EARTH / 10 Stars / ATK 4400 / DEF 3400)
"Ancient Gear Golem" + 2 "Ancient Gear" monsters
This monster cannot be Special Summoned except by Fusion Summon. During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step. If this card is destroyed, you can Special Summon 1 "Ancient Gear Golem" from your Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions.

• If this card is destroyed during a resolving chain, you can activate its effect after the chain has resolved.

Is it just me, or is this ruling wrong? The Summoning effect at the end has a "you can" in it, which implies it's optional and that you can miss the timing with it. The ruling doesn't seem to think so.

Opinions?
 
Oh good, I'm not the only one who sees something wrong with this.

Unless "ignoring the Summoning conditions" means "ignoring game mechanics", the ruling looks wrong.
