−	The primary weapon on the ''Dragon Fire'' is a [[Zeus Slingshot]] [[Gauss rifle]] that provides excellent long range firepower. This is backed up by a [[Mydron Excel]] [[LB-X Autocannon/10]], which is capable of firing both standard and cluster ammunition, making the ''Dragon Fire'' a capable vehicle hunter and anti-aircraft 'Mech. An [[Exostar]] [[Large Laser]] provides secondary firepower to the ''Dragon Fire''s ammunition dependent weapons.

The discovery of the [[Gray Death Memory Core]] gave the ''Dragon Fire'' a new lease on life and the 'Mech first saw production in late [[3058]]. The ''Dragon Fire'' carries an impressive arsenal of weapons that is made possible through the use of a Pitban 300 [[XL engine]] that weighs half as much as a standard engine and still provides the ''Dragon Fire'' with a top speed of 64.8 km/h. The ''Dragon Fire'' carries an impressive fourteen and a half tons of ArcShield Maxi II armor. It also has [[CASE]] to protect the 'Mech from excessive damage from an ammunition explosion, though that will not stop the 'Mech from shutting down. Finally, to disrupt enemy electronic warfare equipment, the ''Dragon Fire'' has a Guardian [[ECM Suite]].<ref name=TRO:3058Up146f/> ==Weapons and Equipment== The primary weapon on the ''Dragon Fire'' is a [[Zeus Slingshot]] [[Gauss rifle]] that provides excellent long range firepower. This is backed up by a [[Mydron Excel]] [[LB-X Autocannon/10]], which is capable of firing both standard and cluster ammunition, making the ''Dragon Fire'' a capable vehicle hunter and anti-aircraft 'Mech.

The custom 'Mech was equipped with a [[Light Fusion Engine]], an [[Improved C3 Computer|Improved C3i computer]], a [[Small Cockpit]], and used an [[Endosteel]] skeleton. For weaponry, it had a very powerful left torso-mounted [[Heavy Gauss Rifle]] with 2 tons of ammunition. This gun was backed up by a [[plasma rifle]] with two 2 tons of ammunition, which were protected by [[CASE]]. For an added medium-range punch, this custom variant also had a [[Light PPC]] and a pair of [[ER Medium Lasers]].<ref>[http://www.classicbattletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=63237.0;topicseen Correct name for 'Mech cited by the original author.] (dead link)</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,230<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Tharkad'', pp. 4, 12: "Note that Record Sheet shows different name than one listed in introduction on page 4.
