Mech Magazine was the quarterly newsletter of the MechForce North America fan club. It was an official product produced under a valid license from FASA, however, it has explicitly been declared to be not a canonical source. Each issue opened with a section called Friendly Fire that was a letter from the Club President and had a section that listed members rankings.

FASA took over running the MechForce North America from 1995 onward, and the publication changed its name to MechForce Quarterly under FASA's direct aegis.
