Description
The Cyclops is a turreted self-propelled anti-tank gun based on the Champion's chassis. During the 1950s, the royalist powers were highly concerned with the amount of amount of powerful armor available to the republicans militaries. In response, the Kingdom of Milvelia developped the Cyclops, armed with a 180mm gun-howitzer, derived from the ealier 7.2inch (183mm) howitzer, capable of firing the massive Prototype Penetrating Intelligent Squash Head (Prototype PISH) rounds which can devestate even the thickest of armor, regardless of distance or impact angle.

Early variations carried two loaders in the back of the turret. Due to the weight of each round, the crew could only fire five to six rounds a minute under ideal conditions, a number which deteriotates greatly over time due to fatigue. An attempt was made to reduce the time spent loading with a large ammunition feed system which functioned as a loading assistance device, however the idea was scrapped to to how impractically large the device was. Later variants were equipped with a proper autoloader in place of the human loaders which, if it were not for the stress and heat placed on the barrel, could consistantly fire ten rounds a minute.

Weight: 54.0 tonnes
Length: 7.02m
Width: 3.62m
Height: 3.36m
Maximum Speed: 30km/h (road)

Literally the FV4005 stage II. Made it solely because of the massive boomstick.
