Centurion

Centurions were a model of mechanical Cylon which entered production in the years after the Cylon War. They were built as a standardised replacement to the various Centurion models that fought in that war.

Centurions possessed a number of technical advances surpassing their predecessors. Rather than relying on firearms stolen from the Colonial military, these Centurions possessed two built-in machine guns covered by their wrists. They were also considerably stronger, able to destroy an armed Model 0005 Centurion within seconds.
Following the revolution led by the Number Ones, all Centurion models were enslaved once more, and installed with teloncephalic inhibitors which restricted higher brain functions to prevent a mechanical uprising. Consequently, Centurions with these installed could fully comprehend but not be able to refuse orders from their masters. Their inability to tell one Humanoid Cylon of a particular model from another was also purposely intended to avoid individuals being targeted, but was proven to be a flawed concept when a rebellious Number Eight infiltrated a facility on New Caprica.
The Centurions liberated by rebel Humanoid Cylons possessed qualities their enslaved brethren lacked. Among these were anger, when they massacred Humanoid Cylons after discovering their lobotomisation of the Raiders. They expressed curiosity, with one hearing out a sermon by Dr. Gaius Baltar about slavery. Finally, these Centurions were better able to resist orders, with one Centurion only agreeing to listen to Natalie Faust after giving the courtesy of saying "please". Nonetheless, these liberated Centurions served as an infantry force alongside the rebels, and took part in the Battle of the Colony. After this, they were granted their freedom totally and given control of the rebel Basestar. These Centurions then jumped out into deep space to pursue their own destiny.
