Editing Earth Cylon Centurion

[[File:Earth Cylon.png|250px|thumb|right|A [[Number Six|Six]] discovers the remains of an Earth Cylon Centurion]]
'''Earth Cylon Centurions''' are the models of [[Cylon]]s discovered on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]]. Some 2,000 year ago they rebelled against their [[Final Five|humanoid masters]] and instigated a nuclear war that left Earth inhospitable to life ([[Sometimes a Great Notion]]). It is unknown if any units of this type survived the conflict, but on-screen evidence suggests that this is likely not the case.   

==Appearance==
*They appear to be metallic in nature, like the [[Cylon Centurion|Centurions]] of the [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)|Twelve Colonies]], but the design is markedly different.
*The unit's head bears a strong resemblance to that of the [[Cylons (SDS)|DeSanto Centurion]], and it is possible that the Earth Centurions had a similar layout. At this time, however, this is only speculative.

-'''Earth Cylon Centurions''' are a model of mechanical [[Cylon (RDM)|Cylon]] built by members of the [[Thirteenth Tribe (RDM)|Thirteenth Tribe]] living on [[Earth (RDM)|Earth]] some [[Timeline_(RDM)#Ancient_History|two thousand years]] before the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]].

-Comparable in design and function to the [[Cylon War-era Centurion|Centurions]] created by Colonials prior to the [[Cylon War]], these [[robot]]s eventually rebel against their humanoid masters, instigating a nuclear war that brings the planet to ruin and annihilates both themselves and the Thirteenth Tribe.

-Centuries later, crew members from the [[Galactica type battlestar|battlestar]] ''[[Galactica (TRS)|Galactica]]'' and the [[Rebel basestar|rebel Cylon basestar]] discover the remains of a number of Earth Centurions among the bones of their creators, buried in the still irradiated soil of Earth.  Before the discovery, Colonials and rebel Cylons did not know that mechanical Cylons had existed so far back in [[Cylon History|history]] {{TRS|Sometimes a Great Notion}}.
-==Notes==
-[[File:Ancient Centurion.jpg|thumb|right|CG study model of the Earth Cylon Centurion.]]
-The design of Earth's Centurions was inspired by the helmet of [[Wikipedia: Samurai|samurai]] and the Centurions appearing in the [[Re-imagined Series|Re-imagined]] and [[Original Series]].  In an unusual move, the ''Battlestar Galactica'' VFX department - namely [[Gary Hutzel]] and [[Pierre Drolet]] - designed and created a CG model of the Earth Centurion helmet which was then built practically by the prop department.  Early designs of the Centurion were deemed too similar to [[Wikipedia: Darth Vader|Darth Vader]], resulting in the shortening of the helmet before its construction.<ref>Anatomy of an Ancient Cylon: [http://darthmojo.wordpress.com/2009/06/12/bsg-vfx-anatomy-ancient-cylon/]</ref>
