This achievement is a little tricky.
You'll need the skulls Pain Train (All player units train 50% faster), and the skull Bountiful Harvest (you get ressources 25% faster).
Go on easy, start the level. Right when it starts:
- Pause, turn the skulls Pain Train and Bountiful Harvest on. Save.
- Press LB, get all the Cyclops you have and press X on the Power Core.
- Go to the Barracks, and build 4 of the Cyclops on one Barracks, and 4 on the other.
- Set the waypoint right next to the power core.
- Whenever possible, use Repair and Heal on the Power Core by pressing up on the pad, then going right. It costs 350.
Every time a cyclops gets spawned, press A on it to select, then press X on the power core.
You can check how long you've been in the level already by pressing back.
Also, remember to send your army next to the power core so they destroy all the banshees attacking it, but remember to leave some next to the barracks when the cyclops' are getting trained, or they will get killed after they spawn.

Your strategy worked wonders, thanks a bunch. Like Juzzz, I also did it without the Skulls with plenty of time to spare (only because I didn't have them unlocked yet), but using your advice I beat it on the first try.

This can be done really easy. Start off by selecting all the Cyclops in your groups and setting them to the power core immediately.

-Buy 5 Cyclops in Each Barracks.
-Ignore all building all other Unit Types.
- Place all other Combat Troops in between the barracks.
- Place 1 Wolverine at either side of the Power Core around the Cyclops.
-When you have 350 Supplies Repair and Heal the Power Core [This will in turn heal your Cyclops should any damage be done.]
- Use the Hawks to take care of any flying troops that can bother your cyclops or help prevent more units from spawning; however, when done with the hawks make sure to place them back at the barracks.

Firstly direct all the Cyclops's you have to the core. Then go to the right of the map and select the airlock and spawn as many Cyclops's as you can and as soon as they spawn direct them to the power core.
Its essential to use health on the power core as soon as it becomes available. Easiest done on Easy in co-op.
Use the skulls Bountiful Harvest and Pain Train, they will reduce training times by 50 and make resources come in 25% faster.
