** The Graze-frame mobile suit in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'' has a spherical eye sensor with single camera hidden behind the visor similar to the Knightmare Frames. And then there is [[spoiler: Graze Ein, which is [[ManInTheMachine Ein Dalton]] ''being'' a Cyber Cyclopes himself.]] Its successor, the Reginlaze, has three cameras on its eye sensor instead.

''VideoGame/{{Stormland}}'', a robot-themed game, have a few of these, notably the robot doctor Sypher whose sole facial feature is a gigantic red eye. The player character, Vesper, averts it by having two eyes and a mouth.

* Ravage has been designed with single eye in ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''. And he's a panther. A giant, one eyed panther. With guns. ''Made out of razors.''
* ''Film/TransformersDarkOfTheMoon'': Shockwave is a spot-on example with all tropes present and correct. He's a giant mecha, with a single glowing-red-eye-of-evil. What more could you ask for?

** There actually quite a few of these in the [[Film/{{Transformers}} movie]] toyline, for example, Dropkick. None of them are in the movie itself, but some of them show up in the tie-in video games and/or comics. Nearly all of the "extra" Decepticons or non-sentient drones have one eye for a face while the Autobots have regular humanoid faces and two eyes.

* ''Tabletopgame/BattleTech'': The ''Cyclops'' assault [[HumongousMecha battlemech]] has a head which is totally dominated by a red/black eye, which is where the cockpit is housed. In ''Videogame/MechWarrior 4'', the eye is the mounting point for a [[EyeBeams laser cannon]], while the cockpit has been moved down into the torso.

* The I- and M-versions of the Codarl from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''. The prototype has three eyes; actually, the others kept them as well, they just remain unused. In a way, the mass-produced M9 fit this trope as well since it has a single, rotatable eye behind a green visor which is lowered when ECCS is engaged (the prototype has two eyes, as do every other mecha in the series).

* Drive Knight from ''Manga/OnePunchMan'', a mysterious hero clad in black armor. He has a single shining red eye on his face. He is also hinted to be not so heroic. Various Organization robots and cyborgs (which are outright villainous) also have a single eye.

* ''WesternAnimation/MegasXLR'' has these too, as a shoutout/parody of the Gundam's Zakus. In the last episode, Rearview Mirror, we see an army of these things. Coop, the Glorft, and an AlternateUniverse Jamie proceed to kick their collective asses.

* V1, the protagonist of ''VideoGame/ULTRAKILL'', and its rival V2 sport this aesthetic.

* ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars Dual Strike'' has Jugger, a robotic officer for Black Hole. Although it's questionable whether he's actually a robot in the first place...
* A non-villainous example in ''VideoGame/AscentCrashLanding''. [[PlayerCharacter Bluu's]] RobotBuddy, Blip, has a single eye.
* A non-villainous example in ''VideoGame/{{Gizmo}}''. The PlayerCharacter is a one-eyed robot.
* The white-armored Overwatch Elite from ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' have only a single, big red eye. This is probably done to suggest they are highly modified EliteMooks with wires coming out of their eye sockets and connecting to a big camera.
** And the ever-elusive, doggedly-persistent Combine Assassins.
** Not to mention the flying sentries.
** This was {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in the parody webcomic ''Webcomic/{{Concerned}}'' with the EliteMooks suffering from poor depth perception because they have only one eye.

* Various ''Franchise/MegaMan'' enemies, including Big Eye, the various Joes, the Pantheons, Variants, Galleons, and Devils.

** A digital example: [=LaserMan.EXE=] from ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork''.
** Proto Man has a single glowing eye behind his visor in ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' when he was sporting his Break Man disguise.

** Although Cyborg Ninja Gray Fox in the [[VideoGame/MetalGear1 first game]] does have two eyeholes in his mask, the single glowing red sensor in the middle is far more conspicuous.
** The unmanned mass production Metal Gear [=RAYs=] of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' have monoeyes.

* Nearly every robot in ''VideoGame/NuclearThrone'' has this design, from the huge {{Spider Tank}}s to the small playable [[ADogNamedDog Robot]] character.

* Drive Knight from ''Manga/OnePunchMan'', a mysterious hero clad in black armor. He has a single shining red eye on his face.

Can easily be justified by the inclusion of a rangefinder of some kind, removing the need for stereoscopic optics. After all, the stereoscopic bit is just one componant of human depth perception.

Almost always a type of GlowingMechanicalEyes. Contrast FacelessEye. Frequently prone to EyeLightsOut. For the organic version, see {{Cyclops}}.

* ''Film/CyberneticGrandma:': The title character's head is a black sphere, the only features of which are a stylized eye and mouth.

* HAL 9000 from ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey'' could be the UrExample of this trope, coupling his CreepyMonotone with multiple unblinking, cyclopean eyes positioned all over the ''Discovery'' spacecraft.

* Gort from ''Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951'' fires his disintegration beam from a single ominous point under his opened visor. In [[Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill2008 the remake]], Gort has a single glowing red eye behind the visor -- there's a good moment when one of the characters realises the eye is following him as he walks across the room.
