  Cylon (Battlestar Galactica) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cylons are a cybernetic civilization at war with the twelve colonies of humanity in the science fiction movie and television series Battlestar Galactica, in both the original 1978/1980 series and movie and the new "reimagining" of 2003/2004.
Some fans believe that the Cylons actually have a greater plan for mankind and allowed the Galactica fleet to escape the destruction of the Colonies on purpose in order to facilitate this 'plan.' The first season finale also suggests that a union of the Human and Humanoid Cylon species is a goal.
He incorporated the Cylon scanning moving eye into KITT, and it is speculated in fanon that KITT's electronic brain was originally part of a Cylon that crashed to earth in Galactica: 1980.

 BG: Cylons
Cylons have no concept of friendship of loyalty, and are programmed to exterminate their living allies at the earliest convenient date.
A common Cylon strategy, therefore, is to overwhelm the enemy with large number of Centurions, many of whom will be destroyed, leaving a sufficient number of survivors to carry the day.
