If like me, you arrive at the marker and nothing happens, it's because you were too fast. Seems to sometimes bug out if you fly straight there with a flying mount. Drop the quest, pick it back up and run there by foot.

This is it! The fabled Mechagon! The greatest discovery of our age, and you're here to witness me accomplish it! <Tinkmaster Overspark puffs out his chest, brushes off his robes, and smiles confidently.> I am ready to address the Mechagon people. You may accompany me.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Start of Something Bigger
We have coordinates locked into the gyrocopters. You and Captain Winklespring will fly the lead. If we run into any trouble, Tinkmaster Overspark wants the most experienced pilots out front. Board whenever you are ready to go.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Resistance Needs YOU!
Rustbolt isn't usually in this level of malfunction. King Mechagon attacked our town last night. His mechanical armies captured many members of the Rustbolt Resistance and destroyed as much as they could before we drove them out. The prisoners are being processed at Junkwatt Depot.
