The '''Cyclops''' is a [[Squat]] vehicle designed in 985.[[M39]]. It is a demolition vehicle, basically a tiny remote-controlled tank packed with explosives and guided towards a target from a distance, with devastating results. There is a similar device named the Cyclops Demolition Vehicle used by the [[Imperial Guard]] for demolition missions.
==History== =In the 41st Millennium==The Cyclops is a remote-controlled demolition vehicle. They are small vehicles, able to be carried in a [[Chimera]], and controlled by a single [[Guardsman]] from a safe, remote distance. They are usually used to remove enemy strong points or bunkers but are also deployed to clear minefields and to destroy tank traps or razor wire. They are also used to clear out buildings. Often they will be transported in [[Valkyries]] and some have been remotely dropped behind enemy lines and guided to major installations to clear the way for an orbital landing. They are not common and are often assigned on a first come first served, only when needed basis. They are well liked by Guardsmen as it reduces the number of dangerous jobs they have to do. ==Forge World Variations==*[[Lucius]] - standard pattern ==Regiments known to contain Cyclops Demolition Vehicles==*[[Krieg 2nd Armoured Regiment|2nd Krieg Armoured Regmient]] - [[Third Armageddon War]]*[[Mordian 21st Regiment|21st Mordian Regiment]] - Hive Secundus crowd control - Vaust [[Hive World]]*[[Krieg 1st Heavy Tank Company|1st Krieg Heavy Tank Company]] - Cleansing of Radnar*[[Catachan 146th Regiment|146th Catachan Regiment]] - Yarant II*[[Cadian 98th Armoured Regiment|98th Cadian Armoured Regiment]] - Luxor Uprising ==Armament and Upgrades==The Cyclops is armed with a [[Demolition Charge]]. {{stubImperial Vehicles|Vehicle Name=Cyclops Remote Control Demolition Vehicle|Forge World of Origin=[[Lucius]]|Known Patterns=I-XII|Crew=N/A|Powerplant=HB40 491 multi-fuel|Weight=1.5 tonnes|Length=2.5m|Width=1.8m|Height=1.2m|Ground Clearance=0.25m|Max Speed - on road=42kph|Max Speed - off road=24kph|Main Armament=[[Demolition Charge]]|Secondary Armament=N/A|Gun Traverse=N/A|Gun Elevation=N/A|Main Ammunition=N/A|Secondary Ammunition=N/A|Turret Armour=N/A|Superstructure Armour=30mm|Hull Armour=30mm|Gun Mantlet Armour=N/A|Vehicle Designation=0427-942-2203-CY014}}
