What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened?
Mechanist perk “Power Armor” does show your hero as a construct, but does not gain double attack and double armor when sparkgrinder performs his skill.
Device: iPhone 6 with all latest patches.
Currently, all hero class perks do not work for troops that change their ability based on troop type. I forget if they mentioned if it will be fixed in 2.0 or not.
Sirrian did.
So anyone going to run a sparkgrinder with mech class?
Thanks! Only been hooked on GoW for only a month or so and first time on the forums. I figured this was a known bug, but thought to post it anyways.
Nice to have you here. 
Strictly speaking, this isn’t a bug. The perks say ‘This hero counts as a (thing) for Team Bonuses.’ Not for any other purpose.
That being said, it definitely should just be for everything.
Hmmm
Carnex
Sparkgrinder
Mechanist
What else? This could be fun!
I posted about why the Mechanist team isn’t very good in the “making better synergy” thread.
what colors are you missing?
Ahhh I must’ve missed that. That makes me sad.
I also posted there about how it can be good.
Here’s the post: Other teams that need synergy vs. Goblins - #16 by Studs
Main problem is bad color coverage. Secondary is bad traits.
it has a great mana maker though in carnex.
machinist is supposed to get a different 3rd trait… i read it wasn’t supposed to be released yet but it was done because of “spring imp” issues 
the 3rd trait isn’t available in 1.9 but is in 2.0
My team that I’m fairly happy with is
Mechanist
Carnex
Alchemist
Sparkgrinder
Yeah, I was taking that into consideration. Mentioned the problem with its second trait in my write-up.
