The Cyclone is designed to be the ultimate land combat system for the
REF foot soldier. In motorcycle mode, the cyclone offers high mobility,
manoeuvrability and speed. The motorcycle can travel over the worst
terrain with minimal difficulty and is a much smaller target than a more
conventional four wheeled vehicle. This makes the cyclone ideal for
clandestine operations, reconnaissance and one-man missions, as well as
for massive troop movements.

In battloid mode, the cyclone becomes a suit of protective power
armour. The seven foot (2.1m) mecha provides a variety of devastating
weapons, superhuman strength, superhuman speed and even limited flight.
As power armour, the battloid is like a second skin that responds to the
wearer's slightest movement. Combined with the unique bond between man
and machine created by its protoculture power cells, the mecha can leap,
roll and dodge with lightening speed.
