Stealth Centurion

A stealth-capable Centurion on Djerba.

These advanced Centurion models represent a significant evolution in Cylon technology, featuring adaptive camouflage capabilities and enhanced stealth systems. During the mission to Djerba, four of these units attack the Wild Weasel crew at a former ski lodge. The models demonstrate sophisticated tactical awareness and coordinated hunting behavior, with some units using automated weapons systems as decoys while others infiltrate the facility's interior.

One distinctive feature of these Centurions is their ability to change their armor coloration from silver to black, accompanied by specialized visor systems that conceal their characteristic red eye to eliminate detection. They can also extend gun barrels from their arms that assemble from smaller components with minimal sound. According to Becca Kelly, these models are capable of experiencing pain and can be heard "screaming" when damaged, suggesting a more advanced integration of organic components than previous Centurion designs ^{(TRS: "Blood and Chrome")}.

Pre-Production Notes

David Morton's render of the Stealth Centurion, a.k.a. the U-90 Scout.

The pre-production script provides extensive detail about these Centurions' stealth capabilities. Their armor features "thousands of tiny facets, like snake scales, flipping over from silver to black" to achieve camouflage. When activating stealth mode, "a black visor lowers over its eye slit, hiding the roving red eye, along with the sound of its motion." The script emphasizes their tactical sophistication, describing how they use coordinated attacks and diversionary tactics. One unit scans Kelly's identification tags and hesitates, suggesting advanced recognition protocols or programming that distinguishes between different types of targets. The script also notes their enhanced pain responses, with one making electronic sounds "somewhere between a human sound and a modem" when wounded, indicating a more complex sensory system than standard Centurions.

CG artist David Morton dubs these models the "U-90 Cylon Scout," noting that had Blood and Chrome continued as a series, the Centurion seen in "Razor" would be seen as its succes[7]sor. The design, therefore, is a bridge between the U-87 and the later "Modern Centurion."

Note: This model bears a resemblance to the Singer/DeSanto Centurion, developed for an attempted continuation series.
