Overview:
    The LBW-XD originally was an alternate design for the Cyclone which despite being an
    effective design e was prone to over heating due to its reliance on energy weapons. Donka
    demanded a total revision of the Cyclone anmd this was considered a low blow for its
    designers. Initially in jest, technicians jokingly dubbed the new design as the Lowblow, the
    name stuck. Although slightly slower and having a jump range of 210 as opposed to 240
    meters, the Lowblow's canter-levered legs provide a stable platform. The LBW-XD has a
    slightly modified weapons profile to the Cyclone as it drops the Large Pulse Laser in favour
    of two LRM-5s and two ER Medium Lasers in both side torsos. The unit retains the two Medium
    Pulse Lasers shifting these to the Cyclone's arms and adds a Small Pulse Laser for
    anti-infantry defense. It retains its electronic systems making it an excellent recon mech.
