The Cyclops Demolition Vehicle AKA Kamikaze Imperial Drones are a small remote-controlled vehicle packed with explosives and guided towards a target from a distance, it is used for breaching enemy fortifications such as pillboxes and bunkers with devastating results. It also looks like a Leman Russ baby which may result in severe underestimation by the enemy and like the Rapier it may result in much unintentional 'DAAAAAAAWWWWW'.
Cyclopes are small enough 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. It is said that a Chimera or CRASSUS ARMORED ASSAULT TRANSPORT can carry two Cyclopes within their hulls. So yes, Imperial vehicles literally give birth to suicide bombers babies. Cyclopes 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 Troopers 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.
Unsurprisingly, it’s a direct ripoff of the Goliath, a little tracked explosive that looked exactly like this to attack, you guessed it, tanks, devised by the Nazis in WWII.
