== Overview ==
Cyclops are small vehicles, able to be carried in a [[Chimera]] or [[Valkyrie]] and operated through a remote control device consisting of a small handset connected to a backpack [[Vox-caster]].{{Fn|1a}} It is said that Chimera and [[Crassus]] armoured assault transporter can carry two Cyclops within their hulls.{{Fn|22a}} Cyclops are commonly used to remove enemy strong points and bunkers but have found other uses on the battlefield, among these clearing obstacles such as minefields and tank traps or to destroy buildings during street-fighting, while the explosive charge is large enough to damage enemy vehicles. [[Storm Trooper]]s have been known to use Cyclopes as sabotage weapons, landing them behind enemy lines with a single operator to target command posts, supply dumps or bridges. Cyclopes are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis and few [[Guardsmen]] have the specailised training required to pilot them, but the fact that they reduce the number of dangerous jobs they have to do makes them popular among the infantry.{{Fn|1a}}
