*From a gameplay perspective the Cyclops exoskeleton is based on the Cyclops unit from [[Ensemble Studios]]' game ''[[Wikipedia:Age of Mythology|Age of Mythology]]''. It is similarly a large unit that deals heavy melee damage. Their alternate attacks are also similar; when secondary ability bar has charged, the Cyclops will lift a nearby infantry unit and hurl it at the enemy forces for additional damage. In ''Halo Wars'', the Cyclops' secondary ability allows it to tear a vehicle apart and hurl the chunks at enemy forces in a similar manner.<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_units_in_the_Age_of_Mythology_series#Myth_units List of units in the ''Age of Mythology'' series]</ref> | *From a gameplay perspective the Cyclops exoskeleton is based on the Cyclops unit from [[Ensemble Studios]]' game ''[[Wikipedia:Age of Mythology|Age of Mythology]]''.
