Cylon Sentry: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 03:46, 26 June 2023

The Cylon Sentry^[1] 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 Centurions.

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")}.

Notes

The Cylon Sentry was both named and designed by David Morton, with kit-bash inspiration from the HK-tank in Terminator and the Starfury starfighter from Babylon 5.^[1]
