 In the manga, it is pointed out that a cyborg equipped with the Hecatonchires system is able to fully control an entire aircraft carrier on his own.This ability to process multiple limbs at once is seen in the film when he is seen using one rifle in his Landmate's arms, and another in the control arms.Director Neill Blomkamp has cited Briareos as an influence on the design of the eponymous character in his 2015 film, "Chappie".
