I’m not excited, but I have to unlock every Allied Race, so here I come. Just wish we’d gotten something cooler (like freaking Vrykul).
Haha I'm the same way. I did the rep grind for both mag'har and dark iron but I barely play'em. Ditto for all the other allied races, I have one of each character, I just can't be assed.
Mechagnomes are plenty cool though, and while they might not be as popular as other allied races, there have been people asking for them:

Some responses below to a thread titled "no body asked for mechagnomes"
The two fantasy races and classes I wanted since I first started playing were a night elf mage (thanks for adding that) and a gnome engineer. If we could play a mechagnome tinker, my wow happiness level would be over 9000.
Um I have mentioned a few times that playable mechagnomes would be the only way to lure me to alliance. If that is true I will have to make some tough choices going forwards.
(yeah, horde player, but he mentioned switching over, so who knows?)
I did. I would love to play a mechagnome so...
(leaves a little tray of cookies in support of Mechagnomes)
I'd like Mechagnomes..
There, someone asked for them
Yes please to Mechagnome Tinker times a zillion

Nope, give us Jinyu or nothing.
I will totally make a mechagnome.

I think they could be interesting, but as far as I’m concerned they’re just an Allied Race that is wasting my time as we wait for the important ones (Worgen and Forsaken).
Honestly, I’m kinda considering a hiatus after I finish up some reps while I wait to see if/when I can work on unlocking them (probably 8.3 or after). I played a gnome hunter in Legion and he was easily one of my favorite characters and now I find out I can possibly be a CYBORG gnome hunter? YES PLEASE!
I cant imagine many armors that would go well with the mechagnomes aesthetic, but i like them.
I will love mechagnomes if they are horde. You guys seem pretty excited about them.

I’ll appreciate them more after I know they’re not a waste of an alliance allied race slot lol
I have no interest in Mechagnomes.
I am a fan of gnomes, but honestly I don’t think they look better than regular gnomes. Their legs make me think of mecano strider legs and it feels off.

When do they come out? and how will we unlock them?
Well, to be fair Funassassin, if they become allied race they would have new racials.
I haven’t quite yet decided if I want a mechagnome, assuming they become an Allied race. We’ll have to see how their story goes.
My mount randomizer pulled up a color-matching mechastrider for my Worgen DK. Looked like he had his legs replaced by a machine.
Totally funny. Not something I look for in a racial skin.
On another note, stop calling them mechagnomes. These are junkergnomes (or transabled gnomes). Mechagnomes are the true gnomes that were not subject to the curse of flesh (i.e., Mimiron).
Fine, I won’t call them mechagnomes, I will call them partially mechanical gnomes.
My wife is super excited about Mechagnomes. She’s a gnome enthusiast so any lore about any kind of gnome is a real blast for her.
Me? I don’t mind them. Not super stoked, but the more choices/customization the better (if they become an allied race)!

I would be stoked. And I asked for clockwork gnomes!
They should’ve done something more original like the Vulpera and made them a chipmunk/hamster looking race. rolled the robotic enhancements to the gnomes and goblins proper.
