Strategy
Phase 1
On engage Mimiron immediately jumps into the Leviathan MKII. Ranged should spread out around him just outside the circle of mines. Melee other than the tank should group up behind the MKII inside the circle of mines. He will cast plasma blast every 45s. All healing should be on the tank unless someone is likely to die otherwise. Shock blast usually follows closely after plasma blast. The tank should run directly away from the front of the MKII and then reengage along the same vector after the blast, and hopefully face him the same direction.
Ranged dps / Healers who are hit by Napalm Shell do not need to move after being hit. The dot aura seems to have been removed on the live realms (10 man at least)
Healing on this phase is priority on the main tank, then people hit by Napalm Shell.
This phase requires a melee tank.
Phase 2
When Leviathan MKII is destroyed, Mimiron gets in the VX-001 Anti-personnel Assault Cannon. Everyone should move into close melee range as Mimiron is transitioning, taking care to avoid the mines. Sometimes mines appear to despawn but are still active.
Once in melee range, everyone should spread out equally around the boss. Rapid Burst does minimal damage compared to the other attacks. Rocket Strike causes a red target to appear on the ground. People must move out of this target within 3s or they will die. Only one rocket is fired each time in Phase 2. As soon as the dps observes that the VX-001 is casting Spinning Up, everyone must move behind the VX-001. Standing in front of P3Wx2 is instant death.
Healing in this phase is mostly AoE since the two attacks that you expect the raid to take are raid damage.
This phase is untanked.
Phase 3
When the VX-001 is destroyed, Mimiron gets into his Aerial Command Unit. Everyone should move into one third of the room, as marked out by the lines on the floor. The Healers and ranged except for the ranged tank should be in the back middle as far away from the bot spawns as possible. The range tank (or any ranged) needs to immediately pick up the boss. The melee tank(s) should start picking up the smaller bots that start spawning around the room.
Loot should be on Free For All during this phase so that the electromagnets can be picked up by melee. They drop off the Assault Bots. Once picked up, this item should be used underneath the Aerial Command.
Melee dps should be focusing on the small bots until he is pulled down by the electromagnet. At that point all dps should be on the Aerial Command Unit. Ranged dps should be on the bombs that spawn under the Aerial Command Unit and on the Aerial Command Unit otherwise.
Healing on this phase is focused on the range tank and melee tank(s).
This phase is range-tanked.
Phase 4
When the raid kills the Aerial Command Unit, Mimiron forms all of the weapons used previously into V-07-TR-0N. Each of the previous phase's targets have their own health pool and can be targeted separately. All three targetable sections begin this phase at 50% health.
The main tank needs to pick up the MKII the same as in Phase 1. The ranged tank needs to pick up the Aerial Command Unit the same as in Phase 3. From what we could tell, there is no threat reset between the phases. The VX-001 is still untanked.
The raid should stand either directly behind the main tank or directly in front of the main tank (directly behind the MKII). Ranged should be outside the land mines, Melee should be inside.
Due to the timing of the cooldowns on the current live realms, The first and third shock blasts happen very near in time to the P3Wx2 attack from the middle section. It is essential that the tank move away and approach back along a vector that does not pass in front of the VX-001. The P3Wx2 seems to start to the side of where the MKII is facing. Everyone should move behind the VX-001.
2 Rockets spawn at a time during this phase. They are still a one shot kill.
Dps should be split up between the 3 sections. They all need to die within 10s. Melee cannot reach the top section.
Healing on this phase should be split up between the melee tank, ranged tank, and the raid. The raid healer should switch to the melee tank during plasma blast.
This phase is melee and range-tanked.

Mimiron is probably related to (or is) Mimir, given the similar name and origin.
The name of the fully assembled "V-07-TR-0N" is almost certainly derived from Voltron--as that is the rendering of the word in "leet-speak".
The name of one of the abilities in this encounter (P3Wx2) is derived from the gaming term Pew Pew (leet-speak rendering)
