Template:New Content

A Cyclops Mark II under construction.

The Cyclops Mark II is the second generation of the Cyclops powered exoskeleton. It is armed with a multi-barrelled cannon on its right "arm" and what appears to be an array of rocket launchers on the other. The Mark II is considerably larger than its predecessor, appearing to be about thirty feet tall.[1] Superficially, it bears closer resemblance to the HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I Prototype Exoskeleton, a parallel successor to the Mark I, than to the original Cyclops.

Warning: The following information is conjecture and does not necessarily represent official information.

The formal designation for the original Cyclops model, "HRUNTING Mark III [B] Exoskeleton," was derived from its development lineage as an offshoot of the pre-MJOLNIR Mark III exoskeleton.[2] However, instead of using the same designation scheme for the next-generation Cyclops, the Mark II appears to have been designated based on a new system in which the original Cyclops is retroactively classified as "Mark I." This change may have been implemented to highlight the difference between the Cyclops and MJOLNIR families and in order to avoid the two Mark-based generational systems overlapping.

Conjecture ends here.
