As a new Allied Race joins the ranks of the Alliance, a new mount is also introduced to the game. Today's
Visions of N'Zoth
mount preview highlights the new mount you can obtain in Patch 8.3, the
Mechagon Mechanostrider
.
Check out the video and click on the model viewer option below to preview all the animations, including the mountspecial. Keep tabs on your mount collection with our
Mount Collection Tracker
, showing which you still have left to collect across all sources.
NEW
Mechagon Mechanostrider
The best mount, logically, serves multiple purposes -- sometimes you need to get places AND reach something high up once you get there.
Achievement:
Allied Races: Mechagnome
The Mechagon Mechanostrider comes from the Mechagnome unlock achievement,
Allied Races: Mechagnome
, and can be used by all Alliance races. You can learn more about how to obtain this mount on our
Mechagnome Recruitment Questline article
.

Goddamn, I kinda hate everything about this race. They're gnomes, can't properly use most transmogs, and now they're getting this mount. I hate the way it looks, and I hate the way it moves.
It's common for one side to be less happy with what they're getting, like I imagine a lot of people were upset Worgen went to the Alliance, and Goblins to the Horde. But personally there has never been a bigger disparity between new races than there is with Mechagnomes and Vulpera.
Speak for yourself, I'm counting the days until I can create my mechagnome warrior.
Did you not notice that I said
I
kinda hate them, and that I also said that
personally
I think there hasn't been a bigger disparity between allied races before? I was speaking for myself. Of course there will be people who are happy with diaper gnomes. But I'm not, especially not when the other side gets Vulpera. Mechagomes aren't even true mechagnomes, which I would have loved to have in the Alliance. And on top of that, they're just a variant of a race we have, while Vulpera are completely new, other than the Goblin skeleton.
Which is all my opinion, to be clear. I am speaking for myself, as I was before.

I think you lot are undervaluing the Mechagnomes. The horde is qqing over their racials, which is pretty ironic.
The Horde is qqing about everything Alliance gets, they also qqed about Dark Iron Dwarves who I don't see anywhere as often as you'd think when they were claiming their racial is so OP, it also got nerfed.
The combat analysis for Mechagnome shows me 15 main stat not 50, so not sure if that wasn't already toned down.
Vulpera racial we don't even know the whole extent of yet, the bag of tricks has discoverable new tricks, some of them could be OP, we don't know the full list yet, obviously the default one isn't the most amazing, but there's more to come.
Tbh Horde still holds the title of the faction with most powerful racials, for example at start of expac they were qqing about how Lightforged Draenei racial is too strong, especially for ret pala, but this racial doesn't scale with your gear, so is always strong at start of expac and weak later on. Atm Blood Mallet ranks LF Draenei ret pala behind Tauren, Belf or Zandalari, and Human & Dwarf for Alliance.
Darkspear Troll is still BIS race for most casters. For any class that doesn't scale with haste and instead relies on crit, Tauren and Dwarf will be the best, they have the same racial (2% crit damage). Primary stat racials are not really that great (Draenei can cry in the corner).
And if it's about the failsafe Gnomes get, well right back at you Zandalari, who had "regenerate to full health" racial. If that one got nerfed, don't worry, Mechagnome will too.
