Where It Drops

Aerial Unit R-21/X drops from King Mechagon, an encounter in the dungeon Operation: Mechagon (Battle for Azeroth). It is one of 23 items in that encounter's loot table. The game files carry no drop chance, so none is shown here.
As maniacal as he is brilliant, King Mechagon despises all organic life. With his mechoriginator primed and ready, nothing stands in the way of his scheme to purge the curse of flesh from Azeroth and mechanize the entire world.
