The guy you're looking for, Rust-Eye the Clever is in the far southeast corner of Mechagon on the little outcrop of land at 87, 74.
I ended up doing this quest 4 times for it to work on live. What I believe made it work was walking up to the questgiver while Piston had the pod, instead of flying back. Each time I flew back, the quest never completed, but running back to the questgiver did the trick.

Description
One of our defenders saw the troggs take out the homing copter carrying Mekkatorque's pod. Since we started bringing goods in from Tiragarde, they have been a real thorn in our side. Piston, a very promising young inventor, has a vehicle able to handle this task. Meet his crew down in Bondo's yard. Please hurry and retrieve the pod! I am not sure what will happen to Gelbin, if they break it open. Ahem, we would not be upset if you did a little beach clean-up while you were there...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Current Schematic
I think I can modify one of our existing devices to give us access to Gelbin Mekkatorque without disturbing his life preserving functions. There are some items I will need you to procure. From the nearby vector of the Heaps, you will find scrapbots and scraphounds.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Better... Stronger... Less Dead
King Mechagon may have been crazy, but his minions did have exemplary robotic creation capabilities. There are a few residual creations wandering Mechagon. Refusing to accept King Mechagon's dethroning. The logical conclusion to defeat is withdrawal, if one remains operational.
