TheWoWDBFor those who wonder. Since the quest can now be done in Heroic difficulty, you probably want to know in which "wing" in the King = the Workshop.
Operation: Mechagon - Junkyard - Gunker, Trixie & Naeno, King Gobbamak, HK-8
Operation: Mechagon - Workshop - Tussle Tonks, K.U.J.O., Head Machinist Sparkflame, King MechagonReference : Link
This comment to obviously help the fellow people who want to unlock Mechagnome. (and probably more Hordies than alliance ;-) )
Quest
Operation: Mechagon - The Mechoriginator
A World of Warcraft quest in Mechagon Island. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
Seems like this quest requires revered reputation with the Rustbolt Resistance. I was only able to accept this quest on my one character who is revered, and unable to accept it on any characters with honored or friendly rep, despite having the same Mechagon main quest progress on all chars I tried.
If you're here after the release of patch 9.1.5 and are wondering why your achievement completion tooltip still says you need Operation Mechagon - The Mechoriginator to complete The Mechagonian Threat -- even though Blizzard's patch notes say that the dungeon requirement for Allied Races like this one have been removed -- it's because that's only partially true.
You don't HAVE to actually complete the dungeon, but you DO have to go to Mechagon and talk to Prince Erazmin and grab this dungeon quest. After you grab the quest, talk to the NPC again, and you should see an available skip dialog to complete the quest without doing the dungeon. You can then proceed with the questline to unlock the Mechagnome race.

My father's madness won't be contained to this island. King Mechagon is creating a massive device capable of reversing the Curse of Flesh across the entirety of Azeroth! Any races forged by the Titans will return to their original state. For us gnomes, that means fully mechanical. For dwarves and troggs, stone. Vrykul, iron. The list goes on, but most races aren't even ON the list. Anything not forged by the titans will be completely obliterated. We must stop King Mechagon before it's too late!
