Recognition Notes
The SWD-2 rebuilds the Swordsman as a 40-ton brawler, where the SWD-1 of 2463 fought as a sniper. A heavier 160 fusion engine replaces the 145, lifting cruising speed from 32 to 43 km/h and top speed from 54 to 65 km/h, and standard armor replaces the SWD-1's primitive plating. The medium lasers in each arm and the AC/5 in the left torso carry over from the SWD-1, and the LRM 5 in the right torso is joined by a new SRM 4 in the same location, with a Small Laser added in the head. The type still carries a fixed searchlight and remains listed as obsolete by 2482. Jerricho Industries builds it at Robinson.
