All stats current as of release 0.17.0
The Lobo is a Clan Medium Mech introduced in update 0.17.0. A generalist design, the Lobo is often capable of attacking at multiple range brackets. Though its damage output and speed are respectable for its weight class, the machine lacks the agility offered by MASC and Jump Jets and seldom incorporates any electronic warfare equipment. Fewer enhancements results in a lower price, however, fitting the Lobo into the price gap between the more expensive but lesser-armored Cougar and Puma and the more specialized and better armored Shadowcat and Hellhound. Pilots should note the Lobo's rather obvious external mounts, which can be easily lost during combat.

For some time, Clan Wolf had been looking for a lighter companion to their highly successful Timber Wolf design—a complementing system of missiles and energy weapons. The problem was not in designing a chassis that could mount their choices, it was in the missile launcher selection. Khan Vladimir Ward did not want to bother with short-range missiles, LRMs were too heavy for a middleweight BattleMech, and the Inner Sphere’s development of Medium Range Missiles seemed a step in the wrong direction to most Clan scientists. Then Clan Coyote developed their Advanced Tactical Missile Systems, neatly solving Khan Ward’s problems. The Lobo was already on the design boards when Clan Coyote debuted their new ATMs. Winning the technology in a brief and bloody batchall, Khan Ward quickly ordered the Lobo redesigned to field test the ATM. In order to accommodate the ATMs, endo steel construction material and XL engine technology had to be used to save critical space and weight. This has placed a lot of superior technology in what is, ostensibly, a second-line ’Mech for Clan Wolf. However, if this BattleMech proves successful, Khan Ward has already vowed to order his scientists to recreate the Lobo as a new OmniMech.
