Information

Bakugan.com

Cycloid is a titan-like beast. He is incredibly strong, tough and eager for the fight. He has a single terrifying eye with a short deadly horn on his forehead and two vampire-like teeth. He finds humans both confusing and amusing.^[1]

Bakugan Official Handbook

This is one eye-normous Bakugan! The colossal Cycloid carries a huge hammer in his right hand. When Cycloid swings its hammer, brace yourself. This powerful Bakugan packs quite a wallop.^[2]

Bakugan Ultimate Handbook

Just like the legendary monster Cyclops, Cycloid has one lone eye in the middle of his forehead. He's also a gigantic brute with super strength. Cycloid attacks with the horn on his head and his large club. This big brute is always up for battle!^[3]

Anime

Bakugan Battle Brawlers

Cycloid was found by Billy near the center of Bakugan Valley. Their debut was marked by a victory against another Subterra Brawler, Julie Makimoto.^[4] He and Billy are later tasked by Masquerade to defeat Dan Kuso.^[5] After they and the rest of the Top Brawlers ambush the Battle Brawlers, they lose to Shun and Julie.^[6] Billy and Cycloid get a rematch with Julie in Germany, though as they are about to send Gorem to the Doom Dimension, Billy has a change of heart and removes the Doom Card, and later quits Masquerade's team.^[7] After a loss to Masquerade, Cycloid is sent to the Doom Dimension.^[8] Eventually The Top Brawlers are all reunited with their respective Bakugan. Cycloid is later teamed up with Gorem to fight against Rabeeder^[9], and then Tricloid^[10], successfully defeating both of them. He also helps the Brawlers battle against Centorrior and Druman.^[11]^[12] After the Brawlers beat Hal-G and Naga he returns to Vestroia and says good bye to Billy.

Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia

Cycloid's power level is increased to 500 Gs upon returning to New Vestroia. He partners with Hammer Gorem against Ace Grit's Knight Percival and Flash Falcon Fly in the newly completed Bakugan Interspace virtual chamber. In round 1, he battles Percival first and gets attacked with Stray thunder only for Cycloid to counter with boom hammer. Percival then attacks with his sword only for Cycloid to swing and hit Percival's energy blast causing Baron Leltoy to get excited. Ace then sends out Flacon fly to help Percival out. Falcon fly uses duel buster causing him to use rocky punch as a counter. Percival's sword counters his punch and Cycloid gets knocked out thus losing round 1. In round 2, Julie Makimoto sends out Gorem to help and punches Percival with grand impact. Gorem continues attacking Percival with rocks. The end of the round is not shown but he and Gorem lose. In round 3, him and Gorem attack Percival with their punches. Percival uses Stuka Enemy causing Falcon fly to attack him and Gorem causing damage. He uses Gigantic Hammer causing Percival to use fly shield to block the attack. Julie then opens up Power Pressure causing Percival to be stuck. Falcon fly then uses Darkus Fly Arrow allowing Percival to attack. Ace manages to defeat him and Hammer Gorem despite the odds.^[13]
