This pet had a 100% chance to drop from the [Winter Veil Present] in 2007. As of 2011, this pet has a chance to drop from [Stolen Present]. This present is a reward for completing the level 80+ daily quest, You're a Mean One....
The Clockwork Rocket Bot will fire a volley of rockets at any other nearby Rocket Bot, destroying it on impact. (Note that destroyed Rocket Bots may be resummoned by their owners.)
This pet is also available as a FigurePets collectible (series 1).
Yet again,Blizz bows out to the babies of this game complaining about something, I played this game in 2007 so I got this pet, and I was happy to show it off, wasnt it enough that they released the Blue-Rocket Bot,it served the same purpose, but being a different color still made the 2007 one special,I have accepted that I will never go to a Blizz-Con, nor will I get a TCG pet,but I don't cry for Murlocs to be available in game
Considering the fact this offers one, balanced breed choice, I rate it lower than the Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot which offers a choice of three, including one that grants 325 speed at level 25 / rare. Overall, valuable for the completist, but a bench-warmer when up against other more versatile mechanicals. Sorry Clockwork Rocket Bot... you're obsolete in the era of Pet Battles!
Found this pet again today in the Stolen Present from the daily.
Good Hunting everyone!
The droprate is NOT 1 in 68 for the Clockwork Rocket Bot. I've been doing the dailies pretty much from day 1 of this year (2012) on 12 toons, so over 80 times so far, and it's dropped 7-8 times for me. (I'm actually trying to get either a 2nd Lumpy or the Winter's Veil dagger. *sighhh*)
That being said, I wish you all good luck with this one, & hope I get some luck for my own quests. If not, I'll see you on WRA or on the AH!
I wanted one of these extremely bad. It would make pet 400 allowing me to have venus :) I saw one on the AH last night for bid 1 silver 45 copper. I put my bid in ended up paying 1 silver 49 copper and got it this morning on my main LOL now the funny part... I log on my alt to run my Winter Veil daily and what do I get in my present? ANOTHER ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be giving it to my bf because he deserves it :) I am a happy camper today
This is a middle of the road verson of the Rocket Bots.
Oh well. (Update: I got it this Winter Veil, hurrah)
@Kurotenshi
I don't recall people crying for wanting this one back, this was a rather unexpected thing when people found out it dropped from the daily bag. I could agree if it was the Amani Warbear or something, but not this.
