The '''Cylon Sentry'''<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.deviantart.com/spooicxo/art/Cylon-Sentry-936090547|title=DeviantArt: Cylon Sentry by Spooicxo|date=8 November 2022}}</ref> is an armored ground vehicle in the Cylon infantry to support ground troops, as well as being a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground attacks.  
The '''Cylon tank''' is an armored ground vehicle in the Cylon infantry to support ground troops, as well as being a primary offensive weapon in front-line ground attacks.  


During the [[First Cylon War]], Cylons use ground vehicles in ground assaults of urban population centers and planetary facilities, escorted by [[Cylon Centurion|Cylon Centurions]].
Mirroring its [[landram]] counterpart, Cylon tanks are [[Wikipedia:Continuous track|continuous track]] vehicles operated by two {{Alt|Centurion|TOS-DE}}s in the window-slit cab, with a third Centurion manning the roof-top swivel cannon from the gunnery station just behind the cannon proper. A roof-top hatch allows for access to the cab.


In keeping with the technology of the human creators, the Cylon tank employs many of the same technologies and aesthetics, but with Cylon flourish such as a lone red-color electronic eye at the front {{TRS|Blood and Chrome}}.  
Such tanks are deployed on [[Maytoria]] and used against the surviving {{Alt|Sagittarian|TOS-DE}} forces, patroling the decimated remains of the planet's urban population centers, and are often accompanied by Centurions patrolling on foot ({{Comics|vol1|3}}).

* The Cylon Sentry was both named and designed by [[David Morton]], with kit-bash inspiration from the HK-tank in ''[[W:Terminator (film)|Terminator]]'' and the Starfury starfighter from ''[[W:Babylon 5|Babylon 5]]''.<ref name=":0" />
* The design draws its inspriation from the smaller tank at the ''[[Battle of Galactica]]'' attraction formerly at Universal Studios Hollywood.
