None - rogue modrons flee from their home plane of Mechanus lest they be captured and tried by the modron hierarchy.

With the Ancient’s help, the tinkers’ ancestors forged a new life here in what is now Mechanus by capitalizing on the wealth of new and strange resources: common and exotic ores, the elastic strands of the bungerer’s silk, and the great power of the crystal generators.
While it has been a long time since the denizens of Mechanus had to repel a truly noteworthy attack, as the local beasts quickly learned not to mess with the bizarre ‘magic’ the tinkers’ possess, the Elders found it prudent to keep that Cannoneers in tip-top shape.
The citizens of Mechanus recognize that without the raw materials and services provided by the Laborers, from mining and refining ore to harvesting bungerer thread to acquiring food, the city would quickly collapse.

 RPGnet: The Inside Scoop on Gaming
Upon printing out and paging through Construct Mechanus, I was immediately stuck by the professional design and the quality of artwork which not only meets that of print publications, but far exceeds the vast majority.
In its introduction Construct Mechanus presents itself as either a new option for players or as a GM resource for new and fully developed constructs.
However, any GM truly interested in the topics Construct Mechanus covers can tweak these rules to suit their game, as they probably would anyways and thus at no great loss of time or worth to the value of this accessory.

 RPGnet: Review of Construct Mechanus
CONSTRUCT MECHANUS is an oddity among d20 supplements, a strange little detour down a fascinating alley of clockwork fantasia.
Featuring mechanus, a magically created race of sentient constructs, CONSTRUCT MECHANUS is the first in a proposed series of related products that will expand upon the idea of the mechanus and the world in which they exist.
This is partly thanks to the text itself, which offers no easy answers for the origin of the mechanus, or the nature of their class- and feat-related transmutations, and partly due to the supplement’s brevity.

 Mechanus: Plane of Law
Where the machine is kept oiled and greased it runs smooth and quiet, with only the gentle creak of metal rubbing against metal and the pungent smell of mechanical lubricant to remind a cutter he's anywhere odd.
It's said that these parts of Mechanus are haunted by unquiet gear spirits, or Mathematicians driven barmy by the manyfold paradoxes of the plane.
Much of the hard-wearing framework of Mechanus is steel, iron, or tungsten, but many cogs have soil and vegetation growing atop them.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - A kender in Mechanus
My off-the-cuff suggestion is that all kender who enter Mechanus automatically become improved invisible for the duration of their stay.
Though I would say that kender's lifespan wouldn't last much longer on mechanus, seeing as how said kender would most likely do something wrong in a short amount of time the enevitables(sp?) would be after them in a short while.
But anyways, I'd say the kenders lifespan on mechanus would be about as long as a cherry red 66 vette's lifespan would be sitting on 175th and amsterdam in New York City.

Mechanus have more than just intelligence and free will, they pack a mighty punch and that's why they have an effective level of plus four.
The illustrations of Mechanus manage to capture what is a fantasy metal construct and what is not a robot perfectly.

Rumor has it that they are the keepers of their mechanical plane, the maintainers of the gears and the polishers of the cogs.
Though the majority of modrons live in Regulus (their own city in Mechanus), they can be encountered anywhere within the planes.
Since even the slightest imperfection is enough to disturb the ultimate harmony that modrons seek, they seldom find the time or resources to carry their crusade to other realms or planes.

 Modron, General - Marvel Super Heroes Classic Style
Of all the creatures on the planes, none are so strange and confusing as are the modrons, children of the plane of Mechanus and beings of the most ultimate order.
The modrons themselves are odd clockwork creatures, a curious blend of flesh and gears that work to maintain their home on Mechanus and to spread the tenets of order throughout the multiverse.
The embodiment of order unfettered by good or evil, the modrons work to keep their own plane functioning within the letter of the law, and free of chaotic influences, whether they come from within or without.

I'm not versed enough in the laws of Mechanus and the planes in general, so I need help from you guys.
The problem with Mechanus is that order has ways to impose itself on the plane- I am having a hard time imagining what one could do to or with the cogs.
The obvious way would be to bring some quintessential chaos from Limbo with you- but doing obvious things in Mechanus will, obviously, not get you very far.
