I'm considering building a deck based on turning things into other things. Bludgeon Brawl, Soul Sculptor, and so on.
I'm tempted to include March of the Machines+Neurok Transmuter, but... once I turn something into a typeless permanent, then what? It's a cute interaction, but doesn't really seem to accomplish anything.
You can control several planeswalkers with the same planeswalker type for the turn. Since they are no longer planeswalkers, they are not bound to the planeswalker uniqueness rule anymore. Even if another planeswalker of the no longer existing type enters your control, neither will go to the graveyard. Of course, you have to turn the planeswalker into an artifact first (edit: in a way that removes the planeswalker type. Hm, guess, if you can do that, you don't need the interaction, and can do the double planeswalker shenanigans right away).
edit:
Another, simpler idea: remove attacking/blocking creatures from combat by turning them back into noncreatures.
To build off of Rezzahan's comment; could you not turn all planeswalkers into artifacts, then turn all artifacts into creatures, then make them typeless creatures, then drop right of replication on them? Seems very potentially abuseable...

Problem is, they won't become typeless permanents, at least not with the interaction of MotM and Transmuter plus something like Liquimetal Coating. Because making something into an artifact creature lets it keep all its other types, same as with the clauses "it's still a [type]" and "in addition to its other types". Removing the artifact type from something like that will make it not be a creature anymore (due to MotM no longer being applicable to it), but it's still a planeswalker.
Also, the interaction in the OP makes a permanent typeless, not subtypeless. As in "it has no card type anymore". Not artifact, not creature, not land, not anything. So such a permanent would not be a legal target for Rite of Replication.
And yet another problem, all those type changing effects are not copied, only the base characteristics (what's printed on the card) and other copy effects carry over to the copy.
