ALCATRAZ 274
Because of the updated movement mechanics the cargo mech that is the mantis is not as effective as it was in halo 4. If had the ability to sprint then it would be a more versatile mech, but the cyclops mech from halo wars proves to a more heavily armored and much more maneuverable Mech that’s though faster and has a slightly lower profile than the mantis it doesnt have the firepower, (in the form or an autoloading missile and a chaingun) what id dose have in a heavy anit- vehicle auto cannon which proves to be more reliable the the standard chaingun. It would make warzone more chaotic if this beast was on the battlefield of halo 5. If you agree leave a like and comment. To thoughs who think it would be terrible please leave a reason as to why in a detailed explanation.
Cyclops would be far too difficult for 343 to create at this point, and it would be virtually impossible to balance it properly in game. It would also make the Mantis more useless than it already is currently.
Man, think of it… no ranged attacks, so it’s pretty much an oversized g-hammer. Totally.
I would prefer locusts instead, but Cyclops could work.
I made thread about this about saying screw the mantis, lets have cyclops!

Have you not seen the halo 2 trailer sir? I believe you need to rewatch it. It has an auto cannon on its right arm.
The cyclops in halo wars 1 and 2 is a building destroyer not and fighter but don’t get me wrong that thing could kill.
I have no doubt 343 will make a Halo Wars update for Halo 5 to promote the game. But I’m not sure about the cyclops, depends if 343 can balance it in a way that doesn’t make it or the mantis redundant.

It doesnt have rockets and a turbine backpack as a weak point and can be taken down by 6 scorpion rounds and can be climbed on the back like the mantis can be and could easily be destroyed by a pair of wasps if hunted for a good 2 and a half minutes long. Also it doesn’t have shields like the mantis or as much firepower as the mantis and isn’t good against anti air vehicles only ground vehicles. And boom its balanced and they are making halo wars 2 they could transfer some of the models and animations for the cyclops and just add some more animations and then make the gun easy to kill a sword ghost in at most 8 shots.

The mantis has shields the cyclops doesnt and again turbline exaust like the wraith but is actually a weak point and can take 6 scorpion tank shells if not shot at the turbine exhaust and can b killed by 3 ultra wraith morter round from the weak point and its armor is the same as an ultra wraith and boom balanced as hell.
