1). We know that nagas are slaves of N’zoth and Azshara. They both soon will be killed. So nagas will become free and live somewhere.
2). We know that Azshara could transform from naga to Night Elf.
3). We know that nagas in past were Night Elves. Now after Hordes genocide, Night Elves are dying race.
So, maybe when we will defeat N’zoth and Azshara, free nagas will return to NE. Druids will teach nagas how to transform to NE. NE will get numbers and race will stop dying.
As game mechanics, when nagas will ride on a mount they will transform to NE. But in battle they will be nagas.
I think it’s better then robo-gnomes who will look the same as ordinary gnomes when geared in armor…
Now that is a good question. What is worse for the Alliance? Because obviously, while Mechagnomes and Naga are both filthy subhuman garbage, they have some differences. More haughty obnoxious know-it-all Night Elves, or more useless annoying shameful Gnomes? I cannot tell who would cause more harm to the Alliance.

They are already introducing a two-legged fish-based race that will ally with the Alliance, as seen on the right side of the picture. If we are getting something Azshara-related… I’m quite certain that would be it.
But yes, as they were shown at Blizzcon, I don’t think the Mecha/Junker Gnomes lend themselves well to being an allied race either.
Well, I can’t be sure, of course, but with their stick-thin arms and legs and their upgrades protuding from their heads where they would certainly lead to tons of clipping… I don’t really think they were designed for armor. If we get less mechanized variants that look more like normal Gnomes, with a few selectable mechanical parts, like I expected before, that might be another thing…
But my predictions are seldom right, so make of that what you will.
Those Junker-Gnomes would suck big time as an additional Allied Race.
I’m tired of getting Sub-races of already existing races while Horde gets the newest races in the likes of Nightborne, Zandalari, Vulpera.
Also I agree with Wimbert that the Junker-Gnomes do not lend themselves to become an Allied Race at all. Aside from their appearance, what else would they bring to the Alliance that the normal Gnomes wouldn’t? Exactly, nothing.
Acksually, all Trolls are subraces off the Zandalari! So, yea…
Plus they look different enough from the other Trolls, with different models, unlike for example the Dark Irons, Lightforged Draenei, Void Elves, etc D:
Highmountain Tauren, maghar orcs. Same game. Only odd people on this list are the vulpera. And even them had the goblin skeleton to work with at the start.
