Trivia[]
- Heracles is probably the most famous of the Greek heroes, known for his fearsome strength, temper, and labors.
- The TL-2B2 Hyllos is named after Heracles' son, Hyllos.
- One of the Twelve Labors of Hercules is capturing the Cerberus, and coincidentally the TL-2B shares the Lightning Wave Cannon with the R-13A.
- There is a localization error in the TL-2B's description in R-Type Final. In the original Japanese text it says "Kill rate soars when it is linked with the R-9E series", not "the R-9 series".
