================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Cyclone is Clan Donka's attempt to produce a more durable recon 'mech. At 50 tons, the
    CYC-XD is one of the heaviest scout 'mech that is specialized in both speed and damage
    potential. The design philosophy is that while heavier 'mech can soften up enemies, the
    Cyclone can get in quick behind enemy lines at 110 kph and act as a spotter. This unit can
    operate far beyond supply lines as it does not rely on ammunition and with its 9 tons of
    ferro-fibrous armour can take a moderate amount of hits before the need to retreat with a
    jump capacity of a staggering 210 meters.

Capabilities:
    The Alt A version swaps out the Pulse Lasers for ER versions. With the active probe removed,
    the subsequent weight savings have allowed two Streak SRM-4s and one ton of reloads to be
    added.
