Is Archimedes the Ion cannon?

So I'm assuming you have probably activated Archimedes 1 at some point.
Is it based off C&C's Ion cannon or is it just a coincidence that they are alike?

Yeah, it's the same thing as the Ion Cannon, except the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMPyhPuyw_o is much cooler.

Always annoyed me that an Ion Cannon strike doesn't kill a full health M.A.R.V. , Hexapod, or Redeamer.

Oh man Dude, I'm gonna play Kane's Wrath tonight. You so got me in the mood.

I love Kane's Wrath but I wish when you play skirmish mode, the computer gets getting funds, cause they eat through the tiberium like its water - overwhelm you and if you happen to survive, they are broke.

They don't know how to play like humans and let your tib field grow. I've seen too many "pros" lose cause they didn't let their tib field regrow enough to send enough forces.
