Description
The Cyclops began production in 2710 and gets its name from its cockpit, which looks like a single eye in the center of its head assembly. The Cyclops was designed as a heavy assault and command 'Mech. In order to carry out this role, the Cyclops is built to defend itself at a variety of ranges and also has a top speed of 64.8 km/h, which is higher than average for most ninety ton 'Mechs. Additionally, the Cyclops is armored with ten tons of armor. While this is below average for a 'Mech of its weight, the fact that the Cyclops generally does not go anywhere without the rest of a command lance means that the 'Mech and the commander inside are generally well protected.
Armament
The Cyclops carries an arsenal built to handle almost any situation. For long-range combat and indirect fire, the 'Mech carries a Delta Dart LRM-10 missile launcher. For closer ranges the 'Mech has a variety of weapons. A Zeus-36, Mark III Autocannon/20 keeps all but the heaviest 'Mechs at a respectable distance and this is backed up by two Diverse Optics Type 20 Medium Lasers and a Hovertec Quad SRM-4 for close combat.
Variants
- CP-10-HQ - the HQ is a variant of the Cyclops intended to work with advanced electronics, allowing it to command a large number of units. The 'Mech is armed with only an LRM-10, two Medium Lasers, and an SRM-4 launcher. Unfortunately, the advanced electronics have been lost to time. BV (1.0) = 900, BV (2.0) = 1,107
- CP-10-Q - The Q variant of the Cyclops attempts to keep enemies at range by removing the Autocannon/20 and replacing it with an additional LRM-10 and seven more tons of armor, making it very well protected. BV (1.0) = 1,213, BV (2.0) = 1,584
- CP-11-A - A modification of the Cyclops that uses some rediscovered Star League technology, the 11-A removes the massive Autocannon/20 and replaces it with a Gauss Rifle that has a much larger effective range. BV (1.0) = 1,251, BV (2.0) = 1,547
- CP-11-C - The 11-C is similar to the 11-A in that they carry an almost identical weapons payload. The only difference is that the 11-C has removed the LRM-10 launcher and replaced it with a C3 Computer, which allows it to share targeting data and coordinate C3 lances. An additional two tons of armor have been added to the design as well. This makes the 11-C a highly effective sniper and command 'Mech. BV (1.0) = 1,364, BV (2.0) = 1,553
- CP-11-G - A full redesign of the Cyclops, the 11-G redesigns the chassis to use Endo Steel construction and also replaces the armor with fifteen tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. For long range combat, the 'Mech is armed with a Gauss Rifle and an LRM-10 missile launcher. For close combat situations, it carries two ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-4 launcher. The 'Mech also has CASE to protect itself from complete destruction in the event of an ammunition explosion. BV (1.0) = 1,770, BV (2.0) = 1,984
- CP-11-H - An upgrade of the Cyclops that has come out of the Periphery, the 11-H is built on the standard 11-Z chassis but its weapons payload is heavily modified. The 'Mech carries an Autocannon/20, two Medium Lasers, and six Rocket Launcher 20s. This gives the 11-H the firepower to decimate anything that dares to close with it to attempt to make a kill. BV (1.0) = 1,333, BV (2.0) = 1,521
- CP-12-K - The 12-K variant of the Cyclops takes the 'Mech to the logical conclusion based on equipment available to the DCMS. The 'Mech is armed with an Ultra Autocannon/10 for close to intermediate range combat. It also carries an MRM-20 launcher, which compliments the Autocannon's range profile. For close ranges, the 'Mech is armed with two ER Medium Lasers and a Streak SRM-4 launcher. The 'Mech is also armored with fourteen and a half tons of armor. BV (1.0) = 1,512, BV (2.0) = 1,699[1]
