Yes, it does.  What I am trying to ask, and not very well obviously, is
does the Cyclops only get to shoot multiple shots at a titan with
shields, and if the titan/bio-titan is shieldless, then it only gets
one shot? 

Sorry.  I get what you are saying now.  The Hellfury cannon is a 1 Dice weapon.  It only gets one actual shot.  What happens when it hits a unit with shields is that the beam it fires burns through the shields one after another.  So its not actually getting multiple shots, it just gets a chance for its one shot to knock down multiple shields.  The fluff behind it is that the cannon is a massive starship laser.  When they fire it at a shielded target, they maintain the beam for as long as possible to destroy as many of the target's shields as possible.  When you fail the "to-hit" roll for one of the shields what happens is the cannon overloads and they shut it down.  Sometimes this happens quickly, other times they can maintain the beam for longer.

Does this help?
