==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''''Kyudo''''' was developed by [[Martinson Armaments]] early in the history of [[BattleMech]]s, having been unveiled in [[Introduction Year::2443]]. The [[Terran Hegemony]] purchased the design that was intended to support the ''[[Mackie]]'', as it was cheaper than that 'Mech. Martinson was destroyed during the [[Amaris Civil War]] and the ''Kyudo'' eventually faded into obscurity.<ref name=TRO178>''Technical Readout: 3075'', p. 178</ref>

The 45-ton 'Mech tops out at 86 km/h. It is protected by eight tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor and has CASE to protect the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] in the event of an ammunition explosion. Ten [[double heat sink]]s make heat a secondary concern.<ref name=TRO178 /><ref name=TRO179/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The 45-ton ''Kyudo'' tops out at 86 km/h, thanks to its [[VOX 225]] [[fusion engine]]. It's [[Chariot Type E]] [[endo steel]] chassis and internal machinery is protected by eight tons of [[Armorscale]] [[ferro-fibrous]] armor, and has [[CASE]] to protect the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] in the event of an ammunition explosion. 10 [[double heat sink]]s make heat a secondary concern.<ref name=TRO178 /><ref name=TRO179/>
+
As a support 'Mech, the ''Kyudo'' mounts a Conan/20 [[LRM-20]] that is guided by an [[Artemis IV Fire Control System]]. This enables it to provide both direct and indirect fire support. To back it up, the ''Kyudo'' has a single Sorenstein [[ER Large Laser]] that is as effective in close as it is downrange.<ref name=TRO178 />

*; KY2-D-01 : The earliest version of the ''Kyudo'' was designed by [[Brian May]] using the technology that was available at the time, but was primitive compared to the -02. It could only manage 64 km/h and had [[Primitive Armor|inferior armor protection]] that lacked [[CASE]], despite carrying nine and half tons of it. It used a standard [[large laser]] and an [[LRM-10]] that lacked advanced guidance. These two weapons built less heat, but the 'Mech only had 12 [[single heat sink]]s<ref name=TRSWp72f /><ref name=TRO178 />.

Gradually it was reassigned to various militia and reserve forces before being destroyed in the [[Amaris Civil War]].<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 1'', p. 4</ref>

*; KY2-D-03 : The rediscovery of the [[Hegemony Memory Core]] led to the resurfacing of the ''Kyudo''. [[Irian BattleMechs Unlimited]] upgraded a maintenance facility on the planet [[Lopez]] to be able to produce an upgraded variant of that 'Mech in [[Reintroduction Year::3079]].
