Cylons (RDM)
More actions
Origins
In the reimagined series, Cylons are a creation of man, used primarily for dangerous work. The Cylons revolted against their masters, eventually killing off all but approximately 50,000 humans.
Evolution
Cylons eventually evolved or created new models of Cylons known as Humano-Cylons. With the exception of a glowing red spine, it is quite difficult to determine the difference between a Humano-Cylon and a "pure" human. (TPTB have expressed that the glowing red spine was, in retrospect, a continuity error that was visually appealing at the time.) Dr. Gaius Baltar was able to successfully build a Cylon Detector, however, being under the influence of Number Six, he has determined it is simpler for everyone "if all the results are green."
Religion
Cylons are monotheistic, as opposed to the polytheistic humans. Please add critical analysis of this central point of Human/Cylon relations.
Twelve Models of Cylon
The series has established there are 12 models of Cylons. There are currently six known models.
Cylon Centurion Model 0005
The "basic" model still extant from the Cylon War. This model also bridges the reimagined series to the Original Series.
Cylon Warrior
Presumably an upgraded Model 0005, with greater physical capabilities and projectile weapons built into the forearms.
