The subject of this article or section is part of Feast of Winter Veil, a seasonal event that lasts several weeks. Once the event has run its course, this will no longer be available until next year, but there are no guarantees.
Clockwork Rocket Bot was obtained from opening Winter Veil Gift during the Feast of Winter Veil. You must be at least level 10 to open the present containing it.
If this non-combat pet is used around other Clockwork Rocket Bots, one will annihilate the other one and will have to be re-summoned. In rare cases, both bots manage to kill each other.
Players that obtained one of these during 2007's Winter Veil event (and later) got a Feat of Strength, Clockwork Rocket Bot.
Patch 3.3.3 introduced [Blue Clockwork Rocket Bot], a recolored copy of this pet, including its interaction. Both types of bots will fight each other no matter the color.
Wowhead may incorrectly report "This item is no longer available within the game."
Buffs
Initially, this pet could be buffed, "healed", and otherwise have beneficial spells cast on it like a party member. Power Word: Shield in particular could be cast on the robot, allowing it to survive several simultaneous attacks before falling over. This was hotfixed shortly thereafter.
