==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Lobo''''' was originally conceived as an inexpensive companion to the ''[[Timber Wolf]]''. [[Khan]] [[Vladimir Ward]]'s [[Clan Wolf]] was never fond of the ''[[Linebacker]]'', the brain child of Khans [[Natasha Kerensky]] and [[Phelan Ward]], so Khan Ward directed his scientists to design something smaller. Despite that, Ward was not happy with his options until [[Clan Coyote]] developed the [[Advanced Tactical Missile]] launcher, which Ward quickly secured the technology and had it incorporated into the ''Lobo''. With that inclusion, the [['Mech]] ceased to be cheap, however, as the inclusion of [[endo steel]] and an [[extralight engine]] was necessary to free up space for the desired launchers. Khan Ward now views the ''Lobo'' as a testbed for an eventual [[OmniMech]] to justify the costs required to produce the design. Able to out-pace the ''Timber Wolf'', the ''Lobo'' is more in line with Clan Wolf's shift to faster, hard-hitting 'Mechs. <ref name=TRO3067/>

Able to out-pace the ''Timber Wolf'', the ''Lobo'' is more in line with Clan Wolf's shift to faster, hard-hitting [['Mechs]]. The ''Lobo'' is protected by seven tons of [[Ferro-Fibrous]] armor and a Shield-3 [[Anti-Missile System]].<ref name=TRO3067/>
  
==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The ''Lobo'' is built on a [[Type-A]] [[endo steel]] chassis, which carries a [[General Systems 240 XL]] that allows the 'Mech to move up to 97 km/h. Protection is provided by seven tons of [[Type-1]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor and a [[Anti-missile_system#Shield-3_Anti-Missile_System|Shield-3]] [[anti-missile system]].
+
At long range, the ''Lobo'' makes use of its Volt-7 [[Extended Range Large Laser]]. As it closes, it can makes use of the paired CC [[ATM 6]]s, then the pair of General Systems [[Heavy Medium Laser]]s and the General Systems [[Heavy Small Laser]]. The meager ten [[double heat sinks]] alloted to the design cannot hope to keep it cool, so [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] have resorted to running the heat up to the red, then disengaging to cool off.<ref name=TRO3067/>

==Variants==
 
==Variants==
*; ''Lobo'' 2 : Introduced in 3072,<ref name=MUL/> this version of the ''Lobo'' replaces the standard weaponry with a [[large pulse laser]], two [[ER medium laser]]s, two [[AP Gauss rifle]]s, and two [[plasma cannon]]s. This makes it an effective anti-infantry and anti-[[battle armor]] 'Mech. It also adds one extra double heat sink to the configuration, however that's hardly enough to cover the generated heat.

*; ''Lobo'' 3 : Another [[Jihad]]-era anti-infantry configuration produced in 3077,<ref name=MUL/> the ''Lobo'' 3 has a [[Machine Gun Array]] in each arm, comprising of four [[machine gun]]s each. Additional anti-infantry firepower comes from the pair of [[AP Gauss rifle]]s, one in each side torso. For more heavily armored targets, the ''Lobo'' 3 carries a pair of [[Streak SRM-4]]s, an [[ER PPC]], and a [[medium pulse laser]]. An extra double heat sink is also added.

==Design Quirks==
 
The ''Lobo'' is subject to the following [[Design Quirks]]:<ref>''BattleMech Manual'', p. 92: BattleMech Quirk Table - Lobo Entry</ref>
