This was a one-shot magazine, printed in 1994 by the company (Ediciones Zinco) owning BattleTech publishing rights in Spain. It was designed to give Spanish players an overall status of the BattleTech franchise and also provide some scenarios & ideas.
The magazine contained several sections describing different topics:
- an in-universe history and history of the franchise
- all of the various products, with short descriptions or summaries
- in-depth exploration of the MechWarrior Role Playing Game
- Scenario development:
- hooks for mixing BattleTech and MechWarrior
- Two new BattleMechs:
- Spartacus: a 100-ton 'Mech armed with a PPC and an LRM 20 (with an abundance of ammunition). No historical information was provided.
- Rampage: a 60-ton 'Mech (not to be confused with the Amaris 'Mech) armed with a PPC and two small lasers. No historical information was provided.
- These designs could not be constructed with any of the 'Mech constructions rules of that time, including one not meeting and the other exceeding the target tonnage.
- An adventure for BattleTech and MechWarrior: Codename Satan, in which a single lance mercenary force is contracted by the Federated Suns to raid a desert planet belonging to House Liao, Tikara V (a noncanonical planet), in 3026. The target is a Capellan secret investigation center developing an unknown weapon. After a short fight with the lance defending the base, the commandos attached to the mercenary unit move to enter the facility, which is in total disarray after an exposure issue with the lethal airborne weapon being developed. The mercenaries are tasked with retrieving the weapon and escape back to the DropShip. On their way back, they will be chased by a McCarron's Armored Cavalry lance from the Big Mac and bombarded by Long Tom artillery defending the sector. At the end—once back in Davion—space, they are going to discover that what they found was not what their employer expected and payment will be disputed.
- Miniature painting
- Four small BattleTech scenarios, set up as 1v1 or 2v2.
- "BattleTech and Computers": detailing the BattleTech PC products
- "Giant robots in science-fiction": an overall view on science fiction involving giant robots
