Fun Facts

 * The real reference is to a line said by Rowdy Roddy Piper in the 1988 movie, "They Live".


 * Although nothing like the hercules exists in real life, hercules are mentioned as future soldiers (AMP units) in the movie "Avatar" in which their guns are superior against soldiers or air units but they are vulnerable in tank fire. There are experimental exoskeletons in the military used to help lift heavy loads, but none of these have miniguns on them.
 * The description states "has 25mm Grenade Launcher" however in game they only use machine guns.
 * The hercules is an unusual unit, it shares a similar armor type of vehicles, it is somewhat resistant to gunfire including Sniper rounds.
 * Vulnerable to shock weaponry and can be stunned (by Shock Trooper, Shock Tank & Shock Turret ) despite being classified as a infantry unit.
 * However it is immune to stunning from the slayer drone.
 * Hercules has 2 Machine Guns but only fires through one
 * Hercules is the only reasonable Non-Event Anti-Air unit in the game.
 * Hercules is the main unit in the backround of War Commander Wiki Along with Rifleman and Mega Tanks.
 * While the Hercules has 4,500 HP, (More Than some vehicles.) In battle he looks as if he has as much health as a Rifleman!
 * Even though the Hercules is mostly machine it has 1 man in the inside so when the Hercules get's killed it leaves behind blood instead of a scrap heap.
