'''Dragon''' was an official magazine published originally by TSR, Inc. for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. It was launched as a monthly magazine in 1976. Although its focus was on other role-playing games, it occasionally ran a BattleTech related article. The material in the articles in generally noncanon, however one article in Issue 114, is an exception.<br />
<br />
BattleTech appears in many issues, usually in convention announcements or mentioned in passing in discussions of other game systems. Such appearances are not noted.<br />

====Issue 114====<br />
Running Guns: Ground Vehicles for the BattleTech Game World By [[w:Margaret Weis|Margaret Weis]] and [[Kevin Stein (person)|Kevin Stein]], ©1986 [[FASA Corporation]]<ref>''Dragon Magazine'' #114 (October 1986), pp. 78–82</ref><br />
: The article is basically a preview of ''[[Technical Readout: 3026]]'' and focuses on three combat vehicles, the [[Hetzer|Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun]], the [[Harasser|Harrasser Missile Platform]] and the [[Schrek|Schrek PPC Carrier]]. The statistics are correct but the fluff text of the vehicles is notably changed. For the Hetzer it is noted that "it has become standard practice to install robotic remote-control units in the Hetzer, using it as an unmanned scout vehicle". While the article is canon, all of it has been superseded by later publications.<br />
