================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Retaliator is a variant of the ARC-XD which was developed to exploit a potential design
    flaw of the 70 ton Archer, a lack of short range punch. The RTL-XD, is usually assigned to a
    star of Archers as it can move and blend in with its stat mates without drawing attention to
    it. The 'mech is powered by a 280XL engine and like the ARC-XD has a cruising speed of 46.4
    kph. Its Endo-steel structure is protected by thirteen and a half tons of armour and has
    twelve double heat sinks to control heat spikes. TAG equipment is also installed to act as a
    spotter for Arrow IV units should the need arise.

Capabilities:
    The primary weapons profile is short range fire support. However, the RTL possesses an ER
    Large Laser to soften up enemies at long range. The 'mech is also armed with three ER Medium
    Lasers. It is when enemies get close the true secret of its design comes into play. Armed
    with six Streak SRM-6s with a total of 6 tons of reloads, the Retaliator can range short
    range destruction on its targets. Should enemy unit close in on the Retaliator, it has a
    five ton Mace which can be used as a devastating hand to hand weapon, capable of completely
    crushing heads of mechs.
