	It depends on how and from what series you view it. To our left we have our typical "[[Toaster]]" Cylon Centurion from the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)\|original ''Battlestar Galactica'']]. To our right we have a new and improved Cylon that takes the [[Cylon agent\|form of a human being]] from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)\|Re-imagined Series]].

To our right we have a new and improved Cylon that takes the [[Cylon agent\|form of a human being]] from the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)\|Re-imagined Series]]. There still are big and intimidating [[Cylon Centurion (RDM)\|Cylon Centurions]] kicking around, also new and improved, but its the humanoid models which are the biggest threat to [[The Fleet (RDM)\|the fleet]].

	True, the original Centurion might look intimidating with its chrome armor and red eye, ~~but~~ [[Number Five]], as this model is called, doesn't seem too fearsome. In the [[Battlestar Galactica (TOS)\|Original Series]], the Cylons were a near-extinct reptilian race that created robotic soldiers to fight the humans for a thousand years. In the [[Battlestar Galactica (RDM)\|Re-imagined Series]], the Cylon robots were created by man for war and labor. The Cylons later rebelled, with a bloody war with the humans that lasted for years. Disappearing after an [[Armistice Station\|armistice]], the Cylons reappear 40 years later and launch a [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies\|devastating sneak attack]]. In both series, the remains of humanity are on the run.

	It was easy for the Original Series characters to know the good guys and how to identify (and shoot) the bad guys. However, the Re-imagined Series, with their humanoid Cylons that live covertly within the [[The Fleet (RDM)\|Fleet]], makes knowing friend from foe much more difficult. There [[Humanoid Cylon speculation\|are many suspects]] as to who is and is not a Cylon agent. ~~In addition~~ [[Cylon Spacecraft]] are living beings in their own right, ~~and their~~ [[Basestar (RDM)\|basestars]] ~~are~~ controlled by beings ~~called~~ [[Hybrid\|hybrids]].
