Drophyd cyclocannons[1][2] are enemies in Tools of Destruction. They are two-wheeled tanks in the Imperial Army, with rapid-fire laser cannons, that they sweep across the area in front of it. The cyclocannons are operated by a drophyd in a cockpit in-between the large massive wheels.
Ratchet and Clank first encountered them in Stratus City, Kortog during "Escape Tachyon's Forces". They then defended the spaceport of Rykan V in "Defeat the Imperial Forces", and the cragmite ruins of Reepor in "Secure the Area".
Cyclocannons are somewhat more difficult to dodge due to their constant stream of rapid laser fire, and their ability to rapidly turn around, but their main challenge comes in their durability. As such, it is important to use stronger weapons against them, beginning with the Fusion Grenade and Plasma Beasts, and later substituted with the Negotiator or Alpha Disruptor. Devices such as the Groovitron are helpful against them due to their strength and durability, especially early on.
Cyclocannons drop a large amount of raritanium upon defeat.
