Please don't make this an allied race, how about an additional character customization for the gnomes to unlock... you know like the night elves eyes.
Pretty sure they won't be an allied race. Just look at them! Their models don't allow for visible gloves, legs armour, boots and anything that shows on arms. They are just one of those races that Blizzard builds like they are playable in order to give them more customizable appearance.
I am sorry but this is completely underwhelming.....I honestly have not liked any allied race for Alliance. This seems so lazy. Well at least blizzard saved me time and money thinking about race changing or re-leveling a toon for heritage armor xD
I love, love, love the hairstyles for the female mecha gnomes! I wish they would let the regular gnomes have those hairstyles too!
It's weird how the people who want these as allied race are simply being hopeful they will become such without any assumption that it's a done deal while those against are bleating like goats about how terrible it is as if the quest to unlock them is already available at the embassy. Meanwhile blizz has only said that they are a neutral faction and you help them out, like those walrus dudes in northrend.

Oh please for the love of god don't be an allied race and just be a customization for regular gnomes.
I do agree that there would be potential for an allied race, yet there is a MAJOR flaw that really makes me think it won't happen at all. That is the same reason why Naga have never been a race: The gear in the game will not be able to fit on them.Unless they outright hide the gear that would go on the mechagnome's bodies, effectively making the hands, wrists, legs, feet and HALF of chest armor simply disapear, it would never be able to fit the complex geometry that is being shown in the mechanical parts. It would simply never work, having a race that the only way to distinguish yourself from others is with chest (that does not includes arms) and head gear.I guess they could go all "transformer" and have kind of like a worgen mode where they show the mechanical parts, but in normal gameplay it would have the same skeleton as a regular gnome, but even still I don't see this happening on it's current iteration.And this is coming from someone that has a lvl 110+ of every possible gnome class in the game!
I love the new hair styles.. I wish we could get those for other races...
I don't think a lot of people play Gnomes anyways, but imo cyborg gnomes are actually kinda neat. Also, did people think we weren't going to get a gnome equivalent race when we've gotten some kind of race equivalent for the rest of the allied races currently available. I still hope we will get Vulpera, but the Gilgoblins are looking more likely now :(
Marvelous, the alliance will finally have a race of small size but great intellect, focusing on using high technology such as rifle, lasers, tanks, planes and even automatons ! I'm really looking forward to at last have an alliance race with ties to the titan... Can you really imagine that ?As for those that think they're safe because gears doesn't work on them, at which point upon seeing this did you thought blizzard cared ? We're getting that trash as AR i'm calling it
