Mechagon Comic

[apustus]

If they were going to reference the machines from NieR: Automata, the king's loyalists should be chanting 'We will become as gods.'

We will become ass gods

Lightforged Turalyon and the Army of the Light. I mean, Turalyon is one of his favourite characters. He also hyped him quite a lot before Argus.

"We forgive you for killing our god of 25k years, Illidan, also we love the void now because our leader, who is a human (obviously) is railing a void user."

How am I not even surprised that came out of his noggin.

Cool comic, really made the junkers look way more interesting. This is what I talk about fleshing out a race. With this single short tale, we found out how these mechagnomes think, what they aim for, how they are transformed, what the transformation means, plus they got a dark side. Now they are not just a (depending on each one's tastes) cool-looking race, but a real part of the setting, with its own soul.

That's what the void elves lack. It still amazes me that Blizz didn't make even a short story about them when they came out.with just that, mechagnomes got more lore than void elves.

He's no Lei Shen but it's good for a little side story and I really enjoyed it.

[Fahrad Wagner]

Damn, that comic was good.

[Zandalariprelate]

Good comic for a fodder character, well this settle the mecha gnomes as an allied race, gotta admit the gnomes are ok but they still feel like a techno hobbits with a lack of lore(still more interesting than Taurens thanks to Baine)

[Mehrunes]

I do hope they don't forget it, and add Kervo the Explorer to roam around the island, basically useless junk.

So we can kill him and free from the curse of being a Gnome? Count me in!

[Maljinwo]

This being back to back to Aszhara is so... weird

Just wait till they join the Alliance. Then they will be absorbed by the human hive mind and lose all of that uniqueness.

"Birth of a wish (Human potential version)" ?

Just imagine them all bluescreening and then screaming "Become as humans !".

[Graden]

I'm actually pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed that. Cool.

Oh god why... That explains so much.

Hahaha, indeed. I was wondering who was behind the butchering of Turalyon and his ultra cringe Draenei phrases. It all makes sense now.

[Super Dickmann]

"Birth of a wish (Human potential version)" ?

Just imagine them all bluescreening and then screaming "Become as humans !".

Instead of aiming to become machines they will aim to turn into humans. Only to learn from Master Anduin that real human potential is in the soul.

he is on the island, he was there before hand, so this is explaining him.

Now THAT is a version of that Nier Automata reference I can get behind.

[Jastall]

"It's not the human on the outside that counts, it's the human on the inside!".

Sillyness aside, that was one cool comic for what looked like a second fiddle zone with an utterly disposable bad guy. Between this and the tinkering mechanics, I'm almost looking forward to Mechagon more than to Nazjatar.

And then at the very end of their allied race recruitment quest they play "Real human bean" (aka a real hero) from "Drive".

What? You insane? This counts for all Gnomes, not just Kervo. Haha.

Haven't been to the island, thought he was just going to end up like a husk.

he is there but he is pretty fecked mate.

LINK Here: What was your reaction when a mechagnome that wants to turn everyone into robots has better characterization and motivation than the main bad guys.

IMO it's more like: the characters in comics and short stories set in the WoW have better characterization and motivation than the ones inside the game. It has been this way for at least a decade, I think.

[MrKnubbles]

Well, I'm interested to see where this goes. It's nice that a little update with one zone has such backstory behind it.
