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).
This is a middle of the road verson of the Rocket Bots.
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!
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
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
Found this pet again today in the Stolen Present from the daily.
Good Hunting everyone!
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.
