The HRUNTING Mark III [B] powered exoskeleton, commonly called the Cyclops, was originally designed for the logistics devision of the UNSC. They would lift heavy crates and move them in loading docks like a forklift, but would be much more versatile, acting like an extension of the user's body. The pilot uses a haptic interface to move, the pilot moves their arm, so would the suit. However, these loading docks were primary targets for Covenant assaults, and that's when the Cyclops was a truely terrifying machine. The exoskeleton was quite hardy, and could easily rip armor from enemy tanks, then throw said armor chunk at other enemies. This is a custom, up-armored, and upgraded variant of the cyclops that is my own design. Its name is Orion, designed to be a counterpart to Spartan S-092 Jerome's 'Theseus' custom mantis from Halo Wars 2. This Cyclops has extra plating, twin bubble shield projectors (only decorative), arm mounted spartan lasers (Functional), and full flight capabilities (See Controls).

Controls: VTOL is Walk (only walks forward... odd), Pitch leans forward/backward (for walking up onto runways, also controls forward/ reverse flight), Roll is Punch (only available in Combat Stance), Yaw is for turning (in flight and on the ground), Throttle controls flight thruster power (only works with AG4), AG1 is open/close canopy, AG2 enters/exits combat stance (this also toggles melee), AG3 readies the twin spartan lasers (full auto spartan lasers? Yes, please!), AG4 toggles Flight Mode (the legs will move like they are shifting the weight as well, controlled with throttle).
