Anyone Else Noticed There Are No New Mech Pets in Undermine?

That feels kinda weird.

Why aren’t Goblins making animal-shaped robots for Hunters?

Here’s to hoping one day Flarendo will be tameable one day. That will elevate the number of Goblin Mech Pets from zero to one lol

They have crabs for days though. 74 new Crab appearances.

I reckon they can do both.

The Mechagnomes did it…

Not counting the Mechagnomes themselves (And Mimiron), they dont really make Gnome shaped mechs.

Goblins on the other hand often make a mechs with a Goblin face on it, the final boss of Undermine is literally that.

YES!

In the raid there are friendly mobs called “crumb collectors” and they are cute little robot “dogs” lol.

I dont think they are tameable or anything but it’s a cool concept.

You can find them around the card tables before the one armed bandit room.

They have plenty of Gnome-shaped Mechs.

I mean those look more like generic mech looks.

They are humanoid robots with short legs.

Gnomes are humanoids with short legs.

The Mechagnomes who had been in isolation for thousands of years only had two Humanoid Races to copy from, either themselves or the Troggs.

The source of inspiration seems clear to me.

They look a lot more like the Mechagnomes than the Mechanical Goblins look like Goblins.

I’ll put it in a picture:

In both pictures I used the transmog set that looks the most like the robot from all the transmog sets available.

Now even if you still don’t think they look like Gnomes, that’s a moot point. My point is that Gnomes make both animal and people shaped robots, so Goblins should also be able to do both.

The fact that they only do people-shaped robots is a disservice to Goblin Hunters who would benefit from having some Goblin-themed Mech Pets.

At least we got hyenas with techno armor.

The goblin mechs look a lot more like Goblins than the Mechagnome ones look anything like Gnomes. You are creating an argument in bad faith.

There are again, dogs and crabs in Undermine for Hunters to tame. There could be more for sure. But there are none humanoid looking bots for Hunters.

Crabs are not mechs. Dogs are not mechs. What you’re saying has nothing to do with what the thread is about. I’m saying “this high tech race has no mech pets for hunters” and you’re like “they have crabs!”

MY GOSH! What technology! Crabs!

Oh I get what you are saying now. You want them full tech. Not just wearing it.

They typically only use tech on animals. Like the dino in SoO.

I wouldn’t say so, because they’ve made the Juggernaut, Rocketfist (a mechanical gorilla that looks like Torq) and Flarendo.

The problem is that the Juggernaut looks more like Garrosh stuff and doesn’t have the new Goblin aesthetic from Undermine.

Rocketfist only exists as a Battlepet, and Torq isn’t a mech, he is just a giant Gorilla with a mech armor. So even if Torq ever becomes tameable, it doesn’t count.

And Flarendo isn’t tameable, at least not yet.

They could have made some actual mechanical crabs or something. It would have been easy. The regular crab model with a robot skin would suffice.

They definitely should make it tameable. Yeah I get what you are saying.

Goblins make things that go boom. Gnomes makes things that are cute.

Ok, so hear me out:

Look at this.

Now imagine if… the crab was a robot too.

Wouldn’t it be cool? :smiley:
