Mechagnomes cut off pieces of their bodies and replaced them with metal , cyborg parts as a upgrade. That’s the story. My question is why do they keep the figure and form of normal gnomes. If you are capable of upgrading yourself like this would you keep it like the gnomes? Hear me out. What if we had mechagnomes who replaced their two legs with 4 mechanical legs? or if they replaces their main hand with a giant arm instead of a normal size arm. Gnome is the smallest race in the game. Why not build yourself a giant body? It would be cool if there was a engineering item you could make, that functioned as a glyph that would allow mechagnomes to change their appearance. I would love to be able to have my mechagnome have 4 mechanical legs or if he was a melee toon have giant mechanical arms. Heck maybe take away his legs all together and give him tank treads.
I think maybe their little hearts would be too stressed trying to pump blood to a larger body – err, torso.
What would stop them from making an artificial heart to be able to pump more blood?
I wanted the full robot gnomes
Having giant arms on a tiny gnome frame is silly. They would be cumbersome and a gnome would not have enough mass to make them worthwhile.
I sure didn’t. The Titan gnomes all look too bubbly. If mechagnomes actually looked like Blingatrons, they would probably be even less popular than they already are.
I don’t know, maybe the idea of ceasing to be a gnome anymore perhaps? After all, only King Mechagon was trying transform everyone into fully mechanize, and the Rustbolt Rebellion was fighting against that. Just a wild guess.
Maybe for an enemy mechagnome variation. 
If Blizzard aren’t worried about Mechagnomes limbs not being transmogable, then I see no reason why we couldn’t give Mechagnomes robot spider legs.
I want to be able to build a Mechagnome like creating a rig in Armored Core. Give us cannon arms!
No but seriously, they have so much potential, and they kind of just sit there … doing nothing. You’re absolutely right, they ran away from the curse of flesh and then emulated it to the best of their ability… for reasons.
Blizzard, mechanical freaking spider legs!
Mechagnomes with long robot legs.
OMG, Nui always bringing nuclear warhead into a pillow fight.
No one wants this, stop it.
I’ve wanted spider legs since I first saw those mech spider mounts. Our heritage weapons should be limb replacements that activate in combat. If we could get a new mechanized torso model and head with mechanical head addons like metal beards, I’d be thrilled.
I was thinking sexy robot legs. Like with a stiletto heel or something.
Back to the drawing board!
What would stop them from making an artificial everything?
Why have any flesh at all?
In the comics they were able to achieve full mechanization. With some luck, we’ll see that added as new cosmetics. Metal mustache and all!
I like it.
Yeah, that’s what most people who said they wanted Mechagnomes as a playable race actually meant. The full robot gnomes from Wrath.
