From what I can see, she's probably a former member of Hyperion. If you look at the picture on Zer0's page of him stabbing a Hyperion guy in the groin, you can see the enemy has similar features (i.e. robotic arm, other mechanical parts, etc).

 * cybernetic augmentation in borderlands is not unique to new cyber-punk-girl. helena pierce introduced us to it with her mechanical arm. new girl may have simply had an accident similar to whatever gave pierce that beauty mark on her cheek. remember, too, that cyberchick is still paper-and-pencil at the time of this writing.

Im guessing that she was a failed experiment made by the clap-traps during the robolution to get the vault hunters trust, and had been thrown away but survived and found another failed atempt(death-trap) and decided to join the vault hunters.
 * Perhaps, but there's always the fact that she has a Death-Trap robot companion, which is obviously a play-on-words from Clap-Traps. Clap-Traps were manufactured by the Hyperion corporation, which suggests the Death-Trap may have been as well, or is at least in the prototype stage during the events of BL2. The Mechromancer's 'story' might involve her leaving the company, and taking the prototype Death-Trap with her, working on it herself so that it can be used in combat. <--- All speculation.

Steam Punk Feeling
She kinda gives Borderlands that "steam punk feeling" to the game. The mechromancer class is like a steam punk-kinda class. Even her clothes and arm give the steam punk feel!!! If you ask me, the mechromancer gives a whole new feeling and effect to Borderlands 2. Nealon The Siren 21:11, May 11, 2012 (UTC)Nealon The Siren

I get the distinct feeling you don't know what steam punk looks like.

This is very much cyber punk.75.139.168.85 03:26, July 31, 2012 (UTC)Lurker

The name
"Gauge," not "Gage." twitch Dämmerung 18:33, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oops. I heard "Gage" though... ? happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 20:24, August 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I was annoyed when I saw it had been moved. I had actually gone as far as to slip a notice template into the article head to request nobody move the page until we had a spelling example, but then backed off when the page wound up looking ridiculously cluttered (and assumed none of the admins would move it anyway). Now let's hope that it doesn't get unlocked again until there is concrete release data available. -- WarBlade (talk) 21:10, August 22, 2012 (UTC)

I did not see this notice. Where is it? Anyways, I was following suit on Dr.F. I think that admins should administer the website, but does not give them editing privileges, and is 50% of the reason why I unlocked the page: If F and I can edit it, so should our editors. Sorry for the inconveniences. happypal (talk &bull; contribs) 21:46, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * About the notice, the edit was previewed and abandoned. As far as the page locks go, I'm inclined to agree, but I have to be realistic and point out that admin-only locking is helpful to filter the info from the noise. We can edit, sure, but if everyone can, we will get articles brimming with microedits based only on early commentary by developers that inevitably becomes a lottery of valid and invalid data. -- WarBlade (talk) 22:08, August 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * "Gaige". My third guess, and a higher probability of being accurate. -- WarBlade (talk) 05:32, August 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks guys, I posted the news stating the name, but as it was an interview I couldn't get the spelling. I left the pages because I didnt know how it would be spelt, but they were edited still. Plus, who would have thought to spell it 'Gaige'. I just spelt it phonetically. 86.29.215.195 16:38, August 24, 2012 (UTC)

 * No thanks. It's protected for a reason. It's time to tidy up the Borderlands 2 content, not leap ahead to the DLC in development. -- WarBlade (talk) 00:23, September 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * On that subject, she has a release date now (16th October) and it's not only less than the expected 60-90 days, it's just a month after the game itself hits. Shiroi Hane (talk) 00:47, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Gamespot Sneak Peek
Gamespot got a sneak peek of her (unskinned) character model and partial skill tree here. Her class mod is a lunchbox (like Maya's book, although it doesn't appear to be visible on her model, at least not at present). Her "Close Enough" skill, when maxed out, gives a 50% chance for a missed shot to ricochet towards something while doing 50% damage. Shiroi Hane (talk) 20:53, September 7, 2012 (UTC)

Price
The price of the mechromancer class for those that didn't preorder is $9.99/£7.99/800 MS Points. This should be reflected in the article itself instead of the "small fee" bullshit that's there now. 05:40, September 16, 2012 (UTC)

Season Pass?
so since i bought the season pass, does that mean i will get this automatically when it comes out or do I have to pay extra for this class?z

I like Gunzerker cause im a guns blazing sort of player, but this class looks badass

Gaige's combat abilities?
Is she strong enough to Engaige powerful enemies?

Sorry guys, coudn't resist

Mechromancer Class
the Mechromancer Class is not included in the season pass.

http://www.vg247.com/2012/09/21/borderlands-2-more-character-dlc-planned-if-mechromancer-is-a-hit-with-fans/

Does anyone know what is meant by the statement, "Gaige's skill tree features player challenge level variances. This would make her both the easiest and the most difficult character to play."

This probably means that she is easiest character to start with but will have tougher time in late game. Also she was desinged to support new players to FPS games and may also mean that she is not as strong as everyone else if you are a veteran player of FPS games.

About the newest picture...
Can somebody add that to the page? I would myself but apparently it's locked. CrackLawliet (talk) 23:43, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Voice Actress
Confirmed to be Cherami Leigh by the woman herself. Also, her father is voiced by Eric Vale. Shiroi Hane (talk) 22:28, October 5, 2012 (UTC)

New skills
Some skills revealed via Twitter: Shiroi Hane (talk) 22:39, October 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Make it Sparkle: "That tech lets me to imbue Deathtrap with any elemental damage type by shooting him with that element. So, your normal Deathtrap slashes a dude with his digistruct claws. Which is awesome. But after I make it sparkle with, say, a fire gun the poor sucker on the end of Deathtrap's claws will be bleeding AND burning AND screaming. SCIENCE, BITCHES."
 * Upshot Robot: "The tech makes it so any kill I get while DT is out will increase his duration time and buff our melee damage. So basically, I can keep DT on the field forever if I can keep wrecking fools! AND my kills make DT and I more powerful the longer he's out!"

All Skills for Gaige revealed!
Hey look you guys! Gaige's skill tree is now at http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html, I hope you guys have fun making your own unique builds :D Diclonus (talk) 21:29, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

Anarchy
So is anyone interested in investing into the "Ordered Chaos" tree? Personally, I can't wait to try out the Anarchy and Discord skills. This means I can't invest in the 20% Cooler skill, but it seems to be worth the sacrifice. MyDreamName (talk) 22:03, October 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * i see OC tree as the promised "hard mode" (with BFF as the "girlfriend mode." looking forward to it myself.
