Introduced sometime after the initial [[Cylons (RDM)\|Cylon]] conflict, the modern Centurion appears to be a significant evolution of the [[Cylon War]]-era [[Cylon Centurion Model 0005\|Centurion]].

	Modern Centurions serve a variety of functions within the Cylon hierarchy, acting as guards, soldiers, executioners and even gardeners. "Bullethead", "clanker" and "chrome job" are common Colonial nicknames for these advanced and deadly Cylon constructs ("[[Downloaded]]", "[[Rapture]]", ''[[Battlestar Galactica: The Resistance]]''). They are also referred to as "toasters" - the common Colonial nickname (or epithet) for the Cylon race as a whole ([[TRS]]: [[Miniseries]], "[[Resistance (episode)\|Resistance]]").

	Although Centurions are sentient by design, an [[telencephalic inhibitor\|implant]] annuls their higher cognitive functions and prevents them from exercising full self-awareness ("[[Six of One]]"). It also appears that this implant precludes them from harming any of the [[humanoid Cylon]]s, except by explicit order ("[[Hero]]"). According to {{callsign\|Athena}}, this was done to prevent a rebellion akin to the one that started the first Cylon War (''[[Razor]]'').

	Following the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|Second Attack]] on the [[The Twelve Colonies of Kobol\|The Twelve Colonies]], Centurions were used in a number of assaults on the surviving human [[The Fleet\|Fleet]]. Centurion forces boarded both remaining Colonial [[Battlestar (RDM)\|Battlestar]]s ''{{RDM\|Galactica}}'' and ''[[Pegasus (RDM)\|Pegasus]]'' ("[[Valley of Darkness\|Valley of Darkness]]", ''[[Razor]]'') and landed ground forces on {{RDM\|Kobol}} and the [[Algae planet\|Algae planet]] ("[[Fragged\|Fragged]]", "[[Home, Part I\|Home, Part I]]" and "[[Home, Part II\|II]]"). During the brief colonization of [[New Caprica\|New Caprica]], Cylon Centurions were used to keep order throughout the Cylon occupation ("[[Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II\|Lay Down Your Burdens, Part II]]", "[[Occupation\|Occupation]]", "[[:en:Exodus, Part I\|Exodus, Part I]]" & "[[:en:Exodus, Part II\|II]]"). On [[:en:Caprica (RDM)\|Caprica]], modern Centurions were part of a clean up effort in Colonial cities including [[:en:Delphi\|Delphi]] where they participated in the reconstruction effort ("[[:en:Downloaded\|Downloaded]]").

	Centurions are unable to distinguish one copy of [[humanoid Cylon]] from another ("[[Precipice]]"). Whether Centurions are able to recognize members of the [[Final Five]] - like [[Raider (RDM)\|Raiders]] are able to - is unknown. It should be noted, however, that prior to the [[Crossroads, Part II\|activation]] of said models, Centurions directly engaged at least two of these individuals in combat ("[[The Farm]]", "[[Fragged]]").

	During the [[Cylon Civil War]], rebel Cylon leader [[Natalie_Faust\|Natalie]] removed the telencephalic implant of the Centurions under her command. Once the device was removed, the Centurions gained the ability to reason for themselves and subsequently turned against the rival humanoid models ("[[Six of One]]").

	Self-aware Centurions operating aboard the [[Rebel basestar\|Rebel Cylon]] [[basestar (RDM)\|basestar]] within the human [[The Fleet (RDM)\|fleet]], cooperated with Colonial forces to rescue [[Hera]] from the [[The Colony\|Cylon Colony]]. Distinguished by red stripes painted across their armour, these Centurions operated as assault troops under the command of [[Lee Adama]]. During the conflict, "Red Stripes" battled other modern Centurions as well as older models living on the Colony since the first Cylon War. Following the destruction of the Colony and the discovery of "[[Earth (RDM)\|Earth]]", the Centurions were given command of the Rebel basestar and set free by [[Ellen Tigh]] and [[William Adama\|Admiral William Adama]]. Despite the risk that they might someday return and attack humanity, both Tigh and Adama noted that the Centurions had earned their freedom ("[[Daybreak, Part II]]").

	Modern Cylon Centurions are at least mostly robotic beings in nature. Unlike their Cylon War-era predecessors, the current models have not been observed "bleeding" when injured ("[[:en:33\|33]]", ''[[:en:Razor\|Razor]]'', "[[:en:Daybreak, Part II\|Daybreak, Part II]]").

	When filming a scene that will later have virtual Cylon Centurions inserted, a life-size cardboard stand-in is used for framing purposes. The stand-in gives the camera operator an idea of how much space to leave in the frame, and the animators a reference on how big the Centurions should be. The stand-in is removed so when shooting begins, the actors are reacting to an empty space. This minimizes the amount of work VFX must do to add a Centurion to the shot.

	As of "[[Faith]]", a [[:image:Reimagined_Centurion_Comparison.jpg\|new model]] has been used to depict the Centurion. The new version features a bulkier head with sleeker lines and significantly sharpened cheek bones, separated collar and shoulder pieces, five-fingered (rather than four-taloned) hands, as well as an increased level of detail and flexibility over the entirety of its body. In the episode "[[No Exit]]," a Centurion using the new model had more detailed hands in a few close-up shots which were based off the original model, rather than the redesign. Though originally considered a retcon of the older model, there is evidence that this may not be the case. The previous design can be seen once more during the battle of the Colony, occasionally in the same shot as the newer variant. Generally, the Rebel Centurions were represented by the new design, while Cavil's Centurions used the original model {{TRS\|Daybreak, Part II}}.
