This research explores the algebraic and structural characteristics of finite star-like transformation semigroups that have cyclic features. We formalize the concept of cyclicpoid classes, characterized as star-like partial transformations that function alongside single-valued unary inversion operations. Concerning the structural deviation from classical cyclic groups and monogenic semigroups, specifically, we examine the systems where their kernels do not constitute group subsemigroups. By employing generator-index-period parameters joint capacity parameters , and subsemigroup kernel decompositions, we establish a lower-bound theorems that regulate operational transformation paths (Theorem 3). Additionally, by representing composition matrices in real min-plus algebras, we create a tropical polynomial form to ascertain exact tropical roots (eigenvalues). A non-group Cayley table with 4 elements, an evaluation of a tropical matrix eigenvalues, and applications of combinatorial parameters are provided to validate the theoretical framework. This study integrates star-like partial function limits with tropical spectral descriptions for generalized cyclic transformation semigroups.
