New Blingtron-like Rusty Robot Model Datamined on PTR Patch 10.0.7 - Blingtron Precursor?
A new model of a rusty robot has been datamined on the 10.0.7 PTR and while not particularly exciting on their own, they bare a striking resemblance to a fan-favorite robot, Blingtron!

With the profession overhaul of Dragonflight, is this just a new Engineering profession Blingtron 8000 that we need to blingify? Perhaps this is just another Blingtron that has been aged and rusted over by the time altering magics of the Bronze and Infinite Dragonflights?The possibilities for this model are endless, but here's hoping for a return of our favorite extravagant automaton!
