I leveled one to 50 for the heritage set. The racials are absolutely fantastic, but they’re just a bit too…uh…eccentric(?) for me.
I think they’d be more popular if there were more mech customizations, or even an option to mog over the prosthetics.
I guess for me it was pretty easy. I already loved being a Gnome and the Warcraft mechanical design style. I think what Mechagomes are missing is more customization options. Also something class unique. Kind of like Zandalari Druid forms, they needed something unique.

Excellent!
Thats a regular gnome!
Still very nice mog. Relaxed and something I’d expect to find in a gnomish workshop easily. Love it.
Its a common enough request I think Blizzard should consider it.
They DEFINITELY need to add more options for Mechagnomes. More metal colors, a fully robotic “skintone”, separation of all the head bits from one another so we can mix and match, more limb options.
Not to mention maybe some of the regular gnome hair colors and styles. (Also sharing ours to them.)
The limbs weren’t unique enough? 
I think we need more options and the ability to go full robot since so many were hoping for the Wrath version of Mechagnomes. Let folk live their dreams as it were.

Not having fun as a mechagnome? Join the robot mafia like I did!

This isn’t much different than asking why people would want to play a zombie missing joint flesh and a jaw. Some people like horror, and mecha horror is every bit as enjoyable imo.

While I don’t… see it as horror, the goblin is right.

% man mechagnome
or, if you want something more basic,
10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD!"
20 CALL DOQUEST()
30 GOTO 20That should be etched in their gravestone.

I’m sorry to say but not everybody can handle this much sexyness.

That would be amazing! There was enough room in Mechagon Engineering to add unlockable new cosmetics or even apply metal plating or paint jobs to our enhancements. And if Tinker ever becomes a reality, I hope that Mechagnomes get unique Mechagon themed visusals. Those guns with sci-fi sounds and effects were so much fun!

I named my Mechagnome Vibrognome.

I’d like it if we could pick which limbs are mechanical. I’d go with mech arms and flesh legs so I could wear boots and pants. I can handle no gloves, but pants and boots really complete the look of sets.
Also, they need to give us the other two colors of heritage armor. I’d totally go with the rusty bot look since that’s what my mechagnome mage has for metal parts. More colors beyond those would be great too, since that’s our only way to complete the full robot look.

I’d like it too, but TBH, I’d end up just being a regular gnome at that point. XD

All of this would be wonderful!
And you’re not the only person I’ve seen interested in that sort of design scheme. I think that would be a good thing for Blizzard to consider.
And we had better get Tinkerer if it becomes a class!
My hope is that like DH and Druids each race that gets Tinkerers gets their own flavour to it.
This is one of the top requests I had in my inquiries around the forums and some discords.
I’d really like that too.
All of this!
Its ridiculous that there are other tints for some races and more ridiculous that we can’t USE THEM.
Every race should have more tints and have them available.

Go for scifi mogs.
Lightsabers and fire/lightning transmog enchants for melee heroes helps for the fantasy.
There are 1 hand and two handed sword lightsabers.
Engineering provides good goggles transmog options.
As a crafter they dont need to ever be near a forge or have profession tools. Which is handy for specs like blacksmith or tailoring.
If you dont have a rogue its a free locksmith toon.
Robes and tabards are good at covering the diaper gnome leg transmogs.
There customization metal comes in like 3 colors. I suggest trying to match with your mogs. Or select a nuetral color like silver for most mogs. The gold and bronze sort of look works decently with alliance faction mogs.
I have fun with my gnomes/mechagnomes on speedier classes. You feel much faster as a small bodied character, feels so fast compared to races like tauren who feel they are slower going at the same speed.
Also you will face los issues sometimes due to the small vertical hitbox and be swimming in stuff other races can stand in which is annoying.
Hunters can use mechs which is fun. SV mechagnome with lightsabers and mechs sounds cool.

I wish the light saber mog came with lightsaber sound effects.

It’s disappointing bolts and screws don’t fall on the floor in battle or when they are defeated they don’t make a boingggggg noise like a spring.

I’m just in it for the racial. I’m not trying to pick up WoW chicks…
Not that that is difficult, as they seem to smooch all over me, during my strolls around Ironforge between February 7 and February 21.

It needs to deactivate and hang on your hip when sheathed, too.
