From looking at the picture of the 3 wheeler, I would have to assume they will be mounts. Red is for horde and blue for alliance.

If they're faction colours my guess is that we're looking at the next engineering mount... I like 'em.

That could be -- I hadn't even caught the faction colors.

But I am getting really impatient waiting for goblin mounts!

I would LOVE it if those were engineering mounts instead of goblin mounts, although I do think goblins should get something really awesome like that.

And worgen ones too >.>

I'm not sure I buy the different faction theory. The blue one looks very basic, like a level 20 mount. The red one has lots of snazzy upgrades. Extra pipes, fancy rims, actual tires, a flame paint job, a head rest, decals on the seat and a raccoon tail whip antenna. A raccoon tail! Blizzard can't get away with that kind of Horde favoritism.

Do the Goblins have new flying mounts too? Or did they just recycle the helos again?

I will be a very happy engineer if those turn out to be engineering mounts... That said, I think it's mroe likely that we're seeing the goblin mount (100% and 40% respectively). My reasoning? The one on the left seems more upgraded than the one on the right (More exhaust pipes, comfy looking chair, rubber wheels and a b***hin' flame paint job). Not that that's a bad thing, I can totally see goblins riding about in one of them.

EDIT: ... All of this was pointed out by Mr. Perfect above me. Sorry >.<
But I don't think they'll be gettting new flying mounts. No other race has race-specific faction flyers yet, can't see Goblins and Worgen being the exception. Still, I've been wrong before. I guess we'll see.

Im still a bit curious about how they will animate these, but it should be fun. Imagine a Tauren on one of them... 0.o

They really need to upgrade the old races AND the old races mounts now tough... :/

Nah I was just responding to Adam's speculation (and too tired to think beyond that

). I agree that it looks more like a regular and an epic mount. And frankly, if that's the case, my goblin hunter will be looking for Orgrimmar rep to ride a wolf. These are neat, but I can't see a hunter stealthing around, looking for prey... on that.

Saturo · **Posted:** Fri Jul 30, 2010 8:19 am

Goblin hunters aren't exactly the kind who would stealthily stalk their prey... They're far more likely to shoot grenades from a mortar at them. xD

Sarayana · **Posted:** Fri Jul 30, 2010 11:44 am

I suppose...

Again, seconded. xD

Okay, I demand a goblin instance in which something like these mounts drops then.

*nodnod*

They both have the same basic design on them. I've always see anything related to horde via mounts have the red color. It even has more of the horde flavor. I think they could be trying to make a horde version look different other then just a color change.

Saturo · **Posted:** Sat Jul 31, 2010 5:18 am

Then why make the ally one so basic? It doesn't even have proper tires, or even a seat!

cowmuflage · **Posted:** Sat Jul 31, 2010 3:27 pm

Thtas why me thinks its a 60% one.

Aleu · **Posted:** Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:50 pm

I believe that they are the Goblin mounts. The blue one is basic likely because it's the 60% one while the red one has more detail, likely the `100%. If they were new Eng mounts, the blue one would have more detail.

So my guess is that they're the new goblin mount. Seems to fit them very well... I can't wait to see a Tauren in one of those.

Saturo · **Posted:** Sat Jul 31, 2010 6:57 pm

Hmm... I just realized. If these are the new mounts, then why don't they have several colours to choose from? Maybe it just hasn't been added yet.
