There are several minor Cyclops variants with no official categorizations. Most of these variants follow common themes in terms of their loadout and the scope of their modification. Some alterations are made to enhance their suitability in specific climates.

*'''Protector''': Usually derived from older B-II units, Protectors are deployed in high-threat civil rescue missions. They are often operated by firefighters and medical response teams for deployment in situations where larger vehicles cannot fit, and protect workers from high-risk environments. They are usually configured with a large tank of fire-retardant foam, a high-pressure projector, and a high-torque gripping arm for ripping apart damaged vehicles to reach occupants trapped inside or to break the reinforced walls that are generally found in arcologies.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} | *'''Protector''': Usually derived from older B-II units, Protectors are deployed in high-threat civil rescue missions.
