The Cyclops is a very large platform, standing 4.3 meters (11.7 feet) tall and 3.7 meters (14.2 feet) wide.<ref name="EVG"/> The operator is harnessed within a sealed cockpit that features a transparent canopy and a roll cage. In order to make controlling the Cyclops feel more natural the operator is encased in an internal active-impedance haptic interface exoskeleton that controls the movement of the vehicle itself and provides force feedback. As a result the Cyclops feels like an extension of the operator's body despite not being "worn" in the same sense as smaller powered exoskeletons such as MJOLNIR.<ref name="universe">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/vehicles/cyclops '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Cyclops'']</ref>

The Cyclops' most prominent feature is its two large arms which feature powerful hand-like torque-amplification gauntlet. These manipulators can effortlessly crush a [[Sangheili]]'s body and, with the assistance of a wrist-mounted pile driver, can shear large pieces from [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith tanks]] and even [[Covenant citadel|citadels]], the latter of which possess starship-grade armor plating. In keeping with its intended role as a support unit the Cyclops can use its manipulators and various arm-mounted tools to repair vehicles and structures. Due to the Cyclops' nimble design these repairs can be completed very quickly, even in the field.<ref name="HW"/>
