Mechagnomes, on top of having limited customization options, also come with transmog restrictions that you should be aware of before creating one in Patch 8.3.

Transmog Restrictions

If you plan on creating a Mechagnome, note that you won't be able to transmog Wrist, Hand, and Feet slots, because their modifications cannot be covered by armor.

The Legs slot is also somewhat limited because it does not cover up the limbs and Redditor EntropicReaver compared most of the armor to diapers.

Except for their Heritage Armor, which looks cool, because it's designed around the modifications, most of the armor looks incomplete on Mechagnomes.

Customization Options

Mechagnome modifications can't be covered up by armor, and you'd think there would be at least a toggle to turn that on and off or perhaps more customization options available to the Allied Race to make up for it.

Unfortunately, Mechagnomes only have four Arm Upgrade and two Leg Upgrade options this late in the cycle, and we don't know if they plan to ship more with the release of Patch 8.3 in early 2020.

Will you be creating a Mechagnome despite the limitations? Let us know in the comments down below!

I really hope Blizzard overcompensates those transmog limitations by giving MORE character creation customizations. It is only fair to do so. Because those mechanical arms and legs are pretty damn cool on their own. Maybe transmogs should allow to apply different tints on the mechanical arms and legs, at the very least.

Did a quick edit on Photoshop with an example.

If they dont allow for more colors to be vailable, i think i would be forced taking the dark/rusty iron all the time, for it to look good in most "realistic" looking transmogs that i like.

Thanks for the display, how much better it can look ?

This is....rather disappointing. Like I understand it to some degree, but it's bad enough they're not getting a lot of customization as is.

All of 10 people who main gnomes are going to be disappointed.

Gnome is the best race. If you roll a Warrior and it's not a Gnome, something is wrong.

Laugh now, but even after nerfs those racials are still OP for raiding.   Not staggeringly stupidly so as when it was +400 to all stats, but still pretty good at 120+ stats, a good dps cooldown in holograms and a good auto-save.

Honestly mechagnome should have just been customization options added to gnomes after completing some content in mechagon, similar to how night warriors work. They're the exact same race of gnome that came from Gnomeregan, they've just customized themselves.

      Blizzard Confirm Remix World Bosses Do Not Drop Mounts
      By Staff
      We have confirmation that the only way to get the World Boss mounts in Mists of Pandaria Remix is via Bronze! 
      World Bosses (Source)
      Telinastus: In Remix, yes. But don’t forget that you can go pummel those same bosses on your Dragonflight characters.
      A basic rule-of-thumb for Remix is: quests drop their original loot, but bosses do not.

      Dragonfight 10.2.7, MoP Remix and Cata Classic Hotfixes, June 3rd
      By Starym
      We have an almost quad-feature in the hotfixes today, as retail, Remix and Cataclysm Classic have quite a few improvements, and even Season of Discovery sneaks in with one! From trinket changes in 10.2.7 to cloak achievement and Yak Fur fixes in Remix, class adjustments and double BG honor in Cata, there's plenty to see.
       June 3 (Source)
      Dungeons and Raids
      Neltharus Fixed an issue where canceling Dragon Strike using invisibility will lead to Chargath not casting Grounding Chain. Items
      Fixed an issue where Augury of the Primal Flame would not proc certain effects such as Seal of Diurna's Chosen and Seal of Filial Duty. Fixed an issue where Tome of Unstable Power could proc from non-class spell effects such as self-damage from Vessel of Searing Shadow. Player versus Player
      Victories in Solo Shuffle now reward 5 crests (was 3) and victories in Rated 2v2 and Rated 3v3 Arenas now reward 2 crests (was 1). WoW Remix: Mists of Pandaria
      Mini Mana Bomb (Horde) and Theramore Tabard (Alliance) are now available from Horos at any Infinite Bazaar for players who have completed Theramore's Fall for their given faction on any Timerunner. Developers’ notes: There is no more need to complete it at exactly level 35. Fixed an issue where some steps of the Infinite Power achievements could be skipped for players. Tuft of Yak Fur, am I right? Now they stack. Cataclysm Classic
      Honor rewards from completing a random battleground or a holiday battleground have been increased by 100%. Fixed an issue with Admiral Ripsnarl's visual effect. Fixed a bug preventing the completion of the achievement Acrocalypse Now. Priest Atonement healing will now de-prioritize pets, and will only heal them if their health is very low compared to available player targets. It will treat them as if their health percentage is 50% higher when evaluating targets. Fixed an issue with Shadowy Apparitions that prevented them from being summoned under certain circumstances. Shaman Fixed a problem with Precision where it was granting an unintended additional 1/2/3% chance to hit. Season of Discovery
      Addressed an issue that caused quest "Goblin Solutions" to sneakily steal extra mines from you.

      Temple of the Jade Serpent Speed Run Under 29 Seconds
      By Staff
      Dungeon speed runs in MoP Remix are getting crazier, with two players completing the Temple of the Jade Serpent in under 30 and 29 seconds, respectively!
      SecurePesto has finished Temple of the Jade Serpent with their Level 20 Monk under 30 seconds, beating the previous dungeon record by  nearly 16 seconds.
      However, the run didn't get unnoticed, and ConzilF2P's asnwer was in the form of a run that took a little over 28 seconds. It's kind of crazy to see what the folks can do with their Level 20 twinks in MoP Remix!
