The Cyclops is a very large platform, standing 4.3 meters (14.1 feet) tall and 3.7 meters (12.1 feet) wide.{{Ref/Reuse|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 is a very large platform, standing 4.3 meters (14.1 feet) tall and 3.7 meters (12.1 feet) wide.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}} The operator is harnessed within a sealed cockpit that features a transparent canopy and a roll cage.

The most prominent feature of the Cyclops 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 [[Zurdo-pattern 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/Reuse|HW}} | ||
