I want to say that this is comparable to an Egg. Even the worst egg released so far, mechano-egg, sees semi-regular play. It may take more than 1 set, but I think there's something worth watching here.
Okay so it summons a Mech from your hand. That's good. But only when it dies. And Hunter Deathrattle trigger cards are rotating out. And you're playing a 6 mana 3/4. I mean...Coffin Crasher is at least a decent enough 6/5 for 6 mana and you can have two of them in your deck. I almost feel like this should have Rush.
A 6 mana 3/4 with a Deathrattle screams to get silenced and the Mech it draws from your hand will be random. Do you really want this thing to pull Zilliax from your hand on your opponent's turn? I mean, sure it has synergy with Mechanical Whelp, but what other big Mech Deathrattle is out there that's worth it? (Mecha'thun won't work because it doesn't die).

Why are people bringing up Mecha'Thun? It won't work with Mecha'Thun unless hunter gets a 4 mana 'kill everything on your side of the field'.
Dead card, should've been paladin or warrior and even then, do you want egg synergy? All Hunter has when it comes to mech deathrattle synergy are bombs and the neutral whelp. Hunter doesn't have the mech synergy that the other two classes do.
A 6-mana 3/4 has to impact the board in a very big way in order to see play - currently, the only playable Mech that combos with this is Spider Bomb. There are some big Deathrattle Mechs, like Mechanical Whelp, or Sneed's Old Shredder in Wild - but Mech Hunter isn't really a late-game value deck that can afford to run expensive, do-nothing-the-turn-they-hit-the-board Mechs.
Unless Mech Hunter gets some premium Deathrattles in the new expansion, I'd rate this one "Dust."
So the Cybertech Chip might see play because of this, so this acts like a worse 4 cost Piloted Shredder?
I don't think this card is very good. Maybe jigger the stats around a bit and give it high attack and low health. Maybe a 6/3 would be better, so the opponent can't just ignore it. This offers no threat at all.
If only this summoned a copy from your hand you could create an endless loop of Oblivitrons with Zola.

After months of hunters meta ruling, i really dont feel sorry...

Mechathun Hunter?
In Standard, Mechanical Whelp, Zilliax, Spider Bomb synergy.
In Wild, insane synergy with Sneeds/Piloted Shredder.
And IMO we're all but guaranteed to see more mechs in this expansion.

For 7 mana, it can have rush (skater bot)

Step 1: This + Sk8rbot
Step 2: Pulls of Mechathun
Step 3: Hunter's Mark + Arcane Shot
Step 4: Profit???
Check out my ambitiously horrific custom expansion, Call of the Ocean!

well, you’ll be when you realize that they have now OTK deck too with Mecha’thun
I hate this card already.
Oblivitron, Arcane Shot, Arcane Shot, Goblin Prank on Mecha'thun
EZ game
lol
So, 5 card Mecha'Thun combos on a class with poor card draw?
There is tons of support in Wild. Play dead, feign death, Umbra etc. And classes don't deserve bad cards because they're good, that's bad reasoning.
Too slow for hunter, especially now that Rexxar is rotating out. Might work in wild.

Hunter players will take a long time learning how to play again when can't play your "I win" card for freaking 6 manas.
This new card is just terrible when compared what they used to.

What makes it even worse is that it is a Hunter card. Hunters can't play slow game, at least not without Rexxar.
Hunter players are the smartest HS players by far. We will be happy to adapt. You will still be hunted down.
Makes you realize how busted a card Voidcaller is when you look at Oblivitron.
Two more mana for a Play Dead effect. Could be nice in Wild but not seeing many great uses for it after rotation in Standard.
It seems that Hunter can only have a good legendary if it is a Hero Card. Sad.
