Your mechagnome concepts 🛠

So, I don’t know who many others are like me, but I quite like both the new races we’re getting. I saw a thread for vulpera characters, but what about mechagnomes?

Share your concepts and characters!

For myself, ever since I first saw them I really liked the fully mechanised look, and I was very glad to see that it is indeed their heritage armour!

So that is what I will play. I may or may not be able to resist taking inspirations from Legion and the Geth…

I kinda wanna make a Mechagnome that operates a Mechanocrawler that transports cargo. Could be pretty cool for campagins I think

Potential mechagnome warlock who, after studying and experimenting with Fel for too long or sacrificing too much of himself for greater power, realized how much his body had been corrupted.

Failing to create the means to reverse the effects and restore his health, he went out into the world to find a cure, first by pillaging old ruins and titan facilities, then looking for more obscure lore. He eventually found Mechagon where he finally found a solution.

His corrupted bodyparts were replaced by robotic appendages and devices and, due to the extent of the surgeries and replacements, he was more automaton than gnome by the end of the operations. He firmly fit into King Mechagon’s new regime as a footsoldier with barely any semblance of who he was.

It wasn’t until the Alliance and Horde arrived on the island that he regained his senses. A Horde warlock blasted his body with demonic energies, destroying the safeguards that were meant to keep him under control. He reacted by throwing a more deadly chaos bolt back, destroying his adversary and remembering who he was.

Now with the Fel corruption taking root once more, albeit slowed down considerably by his machine parts, he will keep searching for another cure, buying himself time with replacing his corrupted or destroyed parts with salvaged or brand new ones while his scarce organic parts becoming fewer as time passes.

I want to make a Warrior who uses a lot of physical augments to able to combat much larger, stronger foes on an equal footing. Enhanced legs to jump higher, etc. Generally want to use really big shields and weapons on her too.

For background, the concept is going to be she’s actually from the mechanized alt-timeline (that you can visit on Mechagon), having escaped to the main timeline with Chromie’s help. Kind of an alternative version of Zizzle with a much different backstory to explore.

My headcanon for this is actually that King Mechagon has taken over most of Azeroth in the alternative timeline, not just the island alone. This actually happened a good 15-20 years ago, so there was a whole invasion of Gnomeregan by Mechagnomes before the Troggs ever caused them any trouble; many of the Gnomes who refused to submit escaped from Gnomeregan after, in an exodus similar to what happened in the main timeline.

I’ll be running with “rags to riches” daughter of the black market scrapper. At first mechanised with used up or stolen parts, graduately built up into a competent enforcer for her mother’s buisness, earning more and better components until she started taking official jobs from Mechagon’s minions once Rustbolt was formed. By now she’s mechanised to a high degree and obsessed with self-improvment. Still loving her mother though. And yes, the mother’s reference is Madame Gasket.

A priest that worships Titans, King Mechagon’s sympathizer and Light user to fight Old Gods and avenge the curse of Flesh

A Heimedinger Mechagnome - puts down turrents and stuff.

A crafty rogue that has an army knife implemented into his mechanical arm.

yo I’m liking this

That’s what I imagine the Tinker class to be if it ever comes out.

my concept is in the trash

nah but if I were to make one it would probably be inspired by the tech priests from warhammer.

likely a disc priest that advocates the replacement of flesh with machine in a borderline fanatic manner

I loves archeology so much -he became it.-
Equipped with drills, feather dusters, whips and a snazzy hat, my Mechagnome will put the likes of Harrison Jones in the Uldum Temple to SHAME!

The mechagnome idea I had is one who was inside Mechagon and was almost fully transformed into a fully robotic gnome. Pulled out before he was psychically changed, but mentally, he has a robotic mind.

His speech is simple, to the point and he actively has to convey what emotion he is feeling for others to know what emotional state he is in:
‘Happy. This unit is pleased to meet you.’
‘Sad. This unit is feeling unfortunate for the current situation.’
‘Angry. Error. Error. Safety protocols disengaging.’

Oh yes, the Elcor style! I considered that too. It’s so perfect for mechagnomes.

Either a… Gnome that is struggling to keep his fleshy self in control over his robot self, or a Gnome that is obsessed with upgrading himself frequently.

What I like about this thread is that it makes a good kill list for all the weirdos that dared be happy about this waste of an allied race and effectively cost us somehting more interesting just to rp a diapergnome.

a Dramatic Toaster

I did not ask for mechagnomes but I want to make the best out of what we get.

Yeah classic Horde player going “i’m so hyped for mechagnomes”. :cough:

My Mechagnome’s concept is that he was a police officer who got shot and almost killed, but was mechanized instead. He runs on three prime directives: serve the public trust; protect the innocent; and uphold the law. His memory was wiped after his death but he’s slowly recovering it.
