The Cyclops' most prominent feature is its two large arms, which feature powerful hand-like torque-amplification gauntlets. 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"/> | The Cyclops' most prominent feature is its two large arms, which feature powerful hand-like torque-amplification gauntlets.
