Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Mimiron's Head notes.
- While Mimiron's triggered effect only requires 3 Mechs, when it activates, all friendly Mechs will be destroyed. Any Deathrattles will also be activated.
- Mimiron's Head itself counts towards the 3 required Mechs on the field.
- Despite its wording, this minion's triggered effect summons V-07-TR-0N directly, rather than transforming the existing mechs. As such it will trigger effects such as that of
Knife Juggler.[2]
- Because of this, having Khadgar in play will summon two V-07-TR-0Ns.
- Mimiron's Head is one of the only exceptions to the normal sequence of events concerning minion death; the deaths of minions destroyed by Mimiron's triggered effect are resolved immediately, in order to create room for V-07-TR-0N.[3] If the normal sequence of events took place, players with 7 minions on the board would be unable to summon V-07-TR-0N. And indeed, if you use
Baron Rivendare to fill up the board before Mimiron's Head can place V-07-TR-0N, the summoning does not occur and your board becomes glitched.[4]
- If
Mecha'thun is one of the Mechs that Mimiron's Head absorbs to summon V-07-TR-0N and its conditions are satisfied, then Mecha'thun will destroy the enemy hero before Mimiron's Head plays its animation for summoning V-07-TR-0N, and the game won't end until the animation has finished. - If the Mechs destroyed by Mimiron's Head destroy any other minions with their Deathrattles, the deaths of those minions are not processed until after V-07-TR-0N is summoned. For example, if Mimiron's Head destroys friendly Boom Bots and they in turn destroy an enemy Sylvanas Windrunner, her Deathrattle will be able to steal V-07-TR-0N.[5]
- If
- 2 (or more) copies of Mimiron's Head on the field will only summon one
V-07-TR-0N. - In the event that more than one of Mimiron's Head is obtained, V-07-TR-0N is a possible ingredient in another V-07-TR-0N.

Lore
Mimiron's Head is an epic drop mount from Ulduar raid. It drops from the final boss, Yogg-Saron.
Mimiron's Head takes its name from Mimiron, Titanic Watcher and creator of the mechagnomes and in turn all gnomes. However, the head is not strictly speaking Mimiron's head, but rather the modified head of V-07-TR-0N, which once belonged to Mimiron.
Trivia
- Added with Patch 2.2.0.7835, the visual effect of this minion's triggered effect is one of the most extensive animations in the game, matched only by cards such as Twisting Nether and Elite Tauren Chieftain's summoning animation. The animation can be seen here. John Zwicker, Becca Abel and Andy Brock were responsible for its creation.[6]
- Yong Woo states that he had reservations at first about the animation due to the amount of time it would take to create, but ultimately considers the work to have paid off, in terms of the reaction from the community.[7]
- Mimiron's Head had a bug previously, but has been fixed:
- If there are two Mechs on board and Nightmare is played on one of them before playing Mimiron's Head, and the latter's effect triggers, the animation will be broken and will only show one Mech being destroyed by Mimiron's Head. V-07-TR-0N will still be summoned, but then, due to the broken animation, the game bugs and it is not possible to do anything, not even to concede. A video of this bug can be found here. Note that if Nightmare is played on both Mechs, the animation will be skipped while V-07-TR-0N is still summoned, thus allowing the game to be resumed as normal.
- If there are two Mechs on board and
