One of the three mechanical pets tameable by hunters with Meccamatrice di Stampa found in Alcaz Island.
The other two are Aracnodrone di Rame and Aracnodrone d'Argento

Getting there won’t be easy. Dr. Weavil kind of went nuts and covered Alcaz Isle with anti-aircraft artillery (so you can’t fly), proximity mines (so you can’t run in a straight line), and defensive turrets (so you can’t think straight). Make it past those and you’ll still have to overcome his interns: Drudge Gnomes who mindlessly work for the little big guy.

And you'll also need Chiave Elettrificata.

To tame this pet you will need the Electrified Key. This item drops from Doctor Weavil at Alcaz Island in Dustwallow Marsh and is consumed on use, so if you want to tame all three coloured spiders, you will need 3 keys. This item is not 100% drop rate so you may have to get a few kills before you can loot it. This pet cannot be tamed until it has less than 30% health and you will need to interrupt before it heals back to full health.

Note: if you get to Alcaz island and find that there are no mobs or npcs, it is probably because you have done the quests and scenario for the destruction of Theramore and are phased to the area. To fix this, visit Zidormi on the bridge near Theramore and ask her to send you back in time to before Theramore was destroyed. You can then go back to the island and see everything! You will need to do this each time you enter the zone.

One thing if you head to Doctor weavel, make sure you talk to Zidormi so you get set to the old theramore phase.

I think you'll need to be in survival to tame it. It hit like a truck so you won't be able to finish your tame unless it's trapped before. (At least that how i did it.)

Note:

As I was taming he once again began to cast his "Maximum Repair", heal. Though he got it off just before my tame was successful it seemed to recognize he HAD been below 30% health and thus my tame was successful.

Meh, not worth it...

He's in the ruined tower on top of the hill.

You are going to have to deal with a 10mil HP tower turret in order to tame him.

Commento di Steelhammer

From my experience, come specced with Wyern Sting talent. The spider casts the self healing spell again before the cooldown from counter shot expires, so you will need 2 interrupts to prevent the spider toget back full heal.

Simple, easy to follow guide on where all three variations of the arachnodrone are and how to tame them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNWTXo7MVmo

Hey, just tamed all three of these solo on a brand-fresh 110, thought I'd share how.

First off, keys are not BOP so if you're lucky AH will save you the hassle of downing Dr. Weavil. Also, for those curious each key will allow access to one spider permanently, so no need to stock up on extra (which you can't anyway since they stack to 3). This will save you a step if you die during taming, as they will now be red to you.

For the copper and gold drones, you'll have a lot of really heavy-hitting mobs right next to them. My approach was to start in Survival spec and stealth out of aggro to the side of the building. Once there, I switched to my (brand-new) Beast Mastery spec. You'll want your pet on Tenacity with Growl off. With your target on the drone, move your pet past the mobs to distract them, then grab aggro on the drone. Your pet's job is to die. Meanwhile, you'll be kiting the drone back behind the building and out of everyone's aggro radius. Once there, Wyvern Sting and Feign Death to drop the angry mob of death. This will give you plenty of time to resurrect your pet and heal yourself as necessary before you begin your tame. Once away from their henchmen, these drones are significantly easier to tame than the silver. Just don't stand in front of it or you'll get hit hard.

Hope this helps!

Easiest way is to fight it with a pet out tanking it until it's <30%, freezing trap it then dismiss your pet then tame.

Commento di Mblesbian

OK, so, first off.. I could not find a complete list of all what you had to do and get ready for with this. Most vids did not show it and skipped over a bunch of things leading to this taking me FOREVER. Getting super frustraited and scaring my bf lol.

So what you need to know before hand:

1. Use you'r hunters ability to TRACK MECHANICAL. This way you can SEE the mines on your mini-map so you don't run into them and die.
2. Go SURVIVAL, this will make it worlds easier to get past the turrets and mines. Get the talent CAMOUFLAGE in the Surv. tree and use that to get around mines and turrets. After you'r through the turrets perch yourself somewhere safe for a bit and switch to B\M for the rest.
3. BRING HEALING POTS or a BM hunter pet Spirit beast to heal yourself.
4. Dr. Weavil does NOT have a 100% drop rate on the Key you will need so just keep waiting and killing him till he drops it.(You can also buy the keys off AH, it was 2,200G on my realm for each key.)
5. Once you get the key and go down to where you find your mechanical pet waiting (or whichever one you want.) BE WARNED if you are of a High ilvl and do a ton of dmg, hold back. For me i had to dismiss my pet entirely, use only Beast wrath and just cobra shot it till 30% and use nothing else. I've accidentally killed the mechanical pet 3 times because my murder of crows DoT literally murdered it lol.
6. INTERRUPT THEIR REPAIR CAST!

And that's it! you will get yourself a pet or 4.

There are 4 pets on this island by the way:

Green mechano wolf. - Just befor you get to the Dr.

Silver mechano spider. - In the middle of the compound, outside the Dr,'s house, down into a dungeon, follow the way until you hit a pool, dive down, turn and swim till you surface. Follow the rest of the tunnels to the spider.

Copper mechano spider. - Out from Dr.s house, to the right in the fork of the road, right outside a small house full of little robots on a grate in the open.

Gold mechano spider. - Out of Dr.'s house, straight across up the hill in a stone tower.

All need to go under 30% to tame, spiders need keys to activate.

hope this helped! Like i said, could not find all of this info in one string, had to encounter problems and then find out how to fix each one.

Well, Turtle Shell only helps for a few seconds, and then I die on 1st or 2d turret hit. Camouflage doesn't seem to work for long with the turrets: they see through it and blow me away. So once again it turns into a series of death / corpse runs. I can still kill the good doctor (thanks to my hunter pets with growl on) even at 40% health or so, but 4 tries so far and still no keys. This is getting aggravating.

Commento di Polared

Shortcut: Use Kit dell'Aliante dei Goblin

Get to a decent height in the air on your flying mount, and dismount, using Kit dell'Aliante dei Goblin immediately.

When you're hit with anti-aircraft guns, your forward movement will stop, but Kit dell'Aliante dei Goblin will not be cancelled, allowing you to slowly float into the water. At this point, use Disimpegno to propel you toward the island. This will allow you to resume gliding toward the island, with full directional control :)

Things definitely seemed to have changed in terms of strategy. Feel free to correct me if you've had a different experience, but I found this rather easy. For my fellow hunters looking for the cool pets (assuming you applied the matrix to your non-gnome or goblin hunter):

I boosted my human BM hunter to 120, so I had common tier Trailseeker armor (mostly) and an ilevel of 389, common rating. Current patch 8.2.5

1) Make sure you're in pre-Cata Theramore, which you can phase to by talking to Zidormi (located approx. 55.8, 55.0, just before the long bridge to the west of Theramore Isle). If she doesn't give you a dialogue option, you're probably already in the proper phase.

2) Make sure you have at least 3 open pet slots for tames, 4 if you want Model-GU-4RD-3R, the green mechanowolf.

3) Fly to Alcaz Island. You'll get knocked out of the air 3/4 of the way over the water, but just swim the rest of the way.

4) Neither the elites nor the turrets gave me any problem. Several of the turrets missed, and I only lost about 20% health running by them. Just keep running. When you get to the fork in the path, go right.

5) Doctor Weavil is in the middle building. Kill the NPCs both outside and inside as you like. Model GU-4RD-3R is up the first small flight of stairs, in the little room. Like many other mechanicals, he needs to be down below 30% health to tame. Wasn't too hard for me, I hit him with Cobra Shot until he was low and let Autoshot whittle him down lower until he was tameable.

6) Apparently the drop chance for Chiave Elettrificata is now 13% off of Weavil, and 0.06% off of the mechanowolf. If you want all three spiders in one shot then you need three keys. Weavil is on the top floor and is not hard to kill; neither are the Former Interns. He seems to have a reliable spawn rate of 5-6 minutes. I just kept killing until I had all three. Took me a little over a dozen kills. He also dropped the Big Red Raygun toy while I farmed, which was cool.

7) For Golden, leave Weavil's house and bank a left. Go up the hill to a ruined tower. Golden Arachnodrome is sitting right inside it. Run up to it, select it as your target, and click the key in your bag. To avoid annoying turret shenanigans, run back outside. He'll follow you after a few seconds and, again, whittle him down to about 30% health before you tame. Don't forget to dismiss your pet. Turrets are easy to kill now so hit 'em if they bug you. They WILL take out decent chunks of your health if you're not careful.

8) Golden will heal to full health. I started the tame before he cast the spell and still tamed him, so it seems that so long as you cast Tame Pet BEFORE he starts the heal, then you're good.

Happy spider hunting.

Just tamed this at level 60, last patch of Dragonflight. Just went to the island, killed the Doc, and tamed it. No need to switch anymore. They must have changed something, but it's fairly straightforward now. Decent drop rate on the key needed. Good luck!
