Cyclops is the nickname given to a Tyrannosaurus that stalked TRAT operative Dylan Morton and SORT agent Regina in the Future Earth.
Characteristics[]
A large Tyrannosaurus, Cyclops's appearance is typical of Tyrannosaurs, appearing almost identical to one which stalked Regina on Ibis Island. As the in-game Dino File and the instruction manual state; it is 14.5 meters/47.5 feet in length. Its most distinguishing feature was its right eye socket, which was damaged and the eye destroyed when it was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade fired by David Falk.
History[]
A Tyrannosaurus discovers the recently established T.R.A.T. camp following the massacre of its soldiers by a Velociraptor pack, likely hearing all the gunfire. At its arrival, the Raptors fled into the forest, leaving Regina, Dylan, and David alive. The T-Rex enters the camp and knocks over a tree that nearly crushes Dylan. Dylan is stunned while Regina fires her Heavy Machine Gun at it, but it does nothing. David fires an RPG at the T-Rex's right eye, intending to kill it. Instead, its head and body remain largely intact save for its destroyed eye. The T-Rex losing its right eye here is the reason why Dylan decides to call it "Cyclops" later on. Ignoring David altogether, Cyclops chases Regina and Dylan to a cliff edge, forcing them to jump off, with the dinosaur barely missing with its jaws.
Having failed, Cyclops left the camp and traveled west through the forest to the abandoned military base, where it encountered Dylan again. It chases after Dylan and attempts to step on him when he is seen on the ground after dodging the explosive discs shot in his direction by two Full Faces. Cyclops missed due to Dylan rolling out of the way but waited outside while Dylan was inside the Military Facility. It chases Dylan again when it sees him come out but fails to kill him because Dylan was able to get into the Hardware Storage building fast enough.
When Dylan does not leave the Hardware Storage building for a while (due to him being locked inside), Cyclops decides to leave the area altogether. It is seen walking under Regina as she crosses the Suspension Bridge.
Later on, Cyclops is seen walking past the forest at the second North Route in the Jungle area, scaring several Raptors, and not noticing Dylan run by.
Cyclops then travels to Edward City and encounters Dylan once again, at the City/Warehouse Quarters. The dinosaur charges towards Dylan, but Dylan successfully dodges it. Dylan sees a nearby escort tank and decides to use it against the dinosaur. Cyclops proves so durable that even the tank can't do any serious damage to it, leaving escape as Dylan's only option. Dylan narrowly escapes by passing under a lowering gate that comes down on top of the tank and blocks the passage. Cyclops then decides to leave the area.
Cyclops later meets Regina at the Missile Silo, corners her, and is about to eat her before it stops in its tracks and looks away. The Giganotosaurus breaks through the wall and Cyclops gets knocked around by its head. The Tyrannosaur fights back, getting up and biting the Giganotosaurus's right leg, but this does no damage to the larger dinosaur. Cyclops is dazed when the Giganotosaurus slams its head at it, at which point the T-Rex is picked up and thrown a great distance, and is presumably killed after the Giganotosaurus comes in with a bite.
Encounters[]
The Cyclops has made numerous appearances in the game either directly or indirectly:
- Military Facility/Front (direct)
- Below Dock/Suspension Bridge (indirect)
- Jungle/North Route â‘¡ (indirect)
- City/Warehouse Quarters (direct)
- Launch Site (last encounter)
Extra Crisis[]
- Cyclops is playable in Extra Crisis and serves as the final boss in Dino Colosseum as well.
- If Player 1 chooses Cyclops in Dino Colosseum, the CPU-controlled Cyclops will be maroon colored.
- In Dino Duel, Player 2 instead ends up with a black Tyrannosaurus with both eyes intact instead of Cyclops.
