Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Blingtron 3000 notes.
- Blingtron's Battlecry selects and equips each hero with a random weapon. Any collectible weapon may be selected, and weapon selection is not class-restricted.[1] However uncollectible weapons will not be selected.[2] For example, Blingtron may equip Jaina with a Gorehowl, but not with a Blood Fury.
- Any weapons already equipped when Blingtron is played will be destroyed in order to equip the new one. This can make Blingtron a great play for countering an Ashbringer or Gorehowl, as he is unlikely to provide as powerful a weapon in exchange.
- Since the weapons are not played from the hand, any Battlecries will not be triggered.
- If Blingtron equips the summoning player with Sword of Justice, the Blingtron will trigger the weapon's effect, and immediately become a 4/5.[3]

Lore
The Blingtrons are a series of robots resembling mechagnomes. They are best known for the Blingtron 4000, Blingtron 5000, Blingtron 6000, and Blingtron 7000 models, which can be crafted in World of Warcraft by engineers, and then summoned to reward each player with a special gift, once per day. The Blingtron 3000 is apparently an older model which, following the release of its successor, was sent to the Brawler's Guild where it features as an optional boss.

- Blingtron is the name of a series of freshly constructed mechagnomes. Plated in gold and chrome with a variety of impressive inlaid jewels, these mechanical constructs are known for their endless generosity and gift-giving.
- The Blingtron line didn't really pick up until the 4000 series hit the vendor shelves. Few remember the Blingtron 3000, but it was an engineering marvel in its own right. When a new series of Blingtron units are released, the older series is apparently considered obsolete and sent to their deaths in bloody gladiatorial arenas. While ostensibly a series of mechagnomes created to serve their masters, various cryptic sources of information hint at a far more complex and troubling origin for the constructs.
Trivia
- While the developers were still not wanting to introduce weapons for the non-melee classes, Blingtron was intended to provide limited access to weapons for all decks.[5]
- Blingtron was the first card to directly grant weapons for non-weapon classes. Prior to its introduction, the only means for non-weapon classes to obtain weapons was to steal the cards of a weapon-class opponent using card-copying, return and/or mind control effects. Until the introduction of Medivh, the Guardian with One Night in Karazhan Blingtron was the only directly available and collectible means for mages, priests, and druids to wield weapons.
