I’m wanting to roll a mechagnome that works best with their racial traits then go transmog hunting for the class I end up rolling. I don’t plan on doing anything serious with him I just need opinions on what class fits the racial they have.

Mage for starters since Hyper Organic Light Generator summons two copies of you. Pop mirror image and there is now 5 of you. Roll with Spell Slinger… and there is now 7.
People would be driven mad at the thought of 7 Mechagnomes at once.
However, that is not the racial to primarily focus on. Combat Analysis works with any class, and will buff the associated stat respectfully. E.G if you roll a hunter, your agility will be buffed.
You could safely assume we’re a jack of all trades. Also, you don’t need a tool or an open fire to cook or craft something. We ARE the tool.

I went with Mechagnome mage as well. I think they look better in cloth and you can easily RP the magic-tech/science element

Hunter is pretty straightforward. Can go without a pet or use mechanicals (a lot more fun since they let you respec your pet). But racials aren’t usually impactful enough to mean much, outside of a select few. So I wouldn’t roll up a character just for that.

Mage, because robes hide the mecha-daiper.

I think the main Mechagnome racial is the Failsafe, the cheat death ability they get that prevents you from dying on a lethal blow and heals you to 30% hp or so every 5 minutes or 10 minutes or whatever it is. So maybe a tank? Warrior or Death Knight? Or any class if you prefer soloing or risk dying in group content regularly.
Not really. It’s just a cheat death mechanic — something that most classes already have. Warriors and DKs already have one.
Main racial mechanic is Combat Analysis. If you’re paired with the same gear as the #1 Mythic DPS Raider… guess what? You have an ace up your sleeve.

Hunter. Extra decoys, emergency heal. Works great.
Rogues or Warriors work too.
You are your own tool kit and you can open locks. Plus the swimming animation is pretty nifty.
So will fail safe and combat analysis work best with a warrior or death knight?
As a Goblin, I can appreciate the humor in this.
Our version of this probably would explode.
Mechagnome BM hunter with Mechanical sheep and mechanical squirrel is my favorite combo, there’s just something so whimsical about it that fits perfectly. 
Mechagnome hunter, use only mech pets/mounts and use gadget style transmogs
You just cant choose rogue due to the redundancy
What would be batter mechagnome warlock or mage?
I’d go with Mage. I can’t really wrap my head around a Mechagnome being a Warlock. Maybe if you think along the lines of the Burning Legion and how it had fel-powered machinery and stuff, then it could work. But I just find the Mechagnome Mage fantasy to be easier to vibe with
Hunter for sure. Run around and grab all mechanical pets.
Don’t hate
