  Battlestar Galactica (2003)/Cylon Agents - The TV IV
The infiltrator Cylon brain, at least part of it, is apparently based on the same "silica pathway" construction as the old-model Cylons, as demonstrated in the Miniseries.
Cylon agents may have a human-style brain augmented with Cylon technology, as the Leoben Cylon encountered by Commander Adama does not seem to have any problems expressing itself verbally, but does apparently have issues with its ability to upload its knowledge into another unit at the time of death because of the Ragnar radiation cloud.
Cylon agent Cavil commented that, while there was really no way to be completely sure one way or another whether or not God existed, he essentially believed that God is an invention of the weak-minded.

 Cylon agent speculation - Battlestar Wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Cylon's transformation into humanoid form introduces serious problems for the remnant of humanity known as the Fleet to identify Cylon operative from human.
Although humanoid Cylons have, eventually, proven to be capable of reproduction with humans, the birth of the hybrid child Hera was considered such a seminal event by the Cylons that it seems safe to conclude that no Cylon ever had a child before that point.
However, when learning of the Cylon's "projection" abilities in "Torn" and how they may be related to his vision of Number Six, Baltar himself begins to question whether or not he is a Cylon.

 Battlestar Galactica - SCIFIPEDIA
Battlestar Galactica is a science-fiction franchise that has had numerous incarnations in a range of media, including film, television, books and video games.
Cancelled after only one season, the series had a short-lived revival in the form of Galactica 1980, whose premise was that the Galactica and her crew arrived at contemporary Earth, which is woefully unprepared to defend itself against a Cylon attack.
After numerous individuals and creative teams had made a number of attempts to revive Battlestar Galactica, the project that finally was greenlit was a bold "reimagining" of the series by veteran writer-producer Ronald D. Moore.

 WHAT IS BATTLESTAR GALACTICA? Cylon empire, lucifer, Imperious leader
Battlestar Galactica was an effects laden masterpiece that proved that even after Star Wars, television can provide Sci-Fi effects and stories that rival those of cinema.
Battlestar was a tale of humanity at war with a robotic and inhuman foe known as the Cylons whose mission was to annihilate the lifeform known as man.
Human leaders were overtrusting and the majority of the human fleet in space (the Battlestars) refused to launch intercept vehicles even when a large unknown force was approaching them as well as the colonies.

In the Re-imagined Series, Cylons are a creation of man, sentient bipedal robots used primarily for dangerous work and for wars in the early years of the Twelve Colonies, long before the Articles of Colonization united their governments.
The Cylons revolt against their masters, resulting in a costly and protracted war between the machines and humans.
The Cylons continued in secret to work towards the destruction of the human race during their absence, devising an elaborate plan to wipe out the Twelve Colonies through nuclear bombardment, computer sabotage, infiltration and vast numbers of fighting craft.

 Cylon Commander (Battlestar Galactica) - Action Figure Reviews - The Armchair Empire
There are some sci-fi fans out there that level an accusatory finger at Battlestar Galactica as being a complete rip-off of Star Wars.
Here we have the Cylon Commander, a gold-clad killing machine if ever there was one, which suffers quite a bit due to poor articulation.
While the Cylon Commander is accurate to the TV show source, Joyride could have gone the extra mile (with Master Chief-style articulation) and made this a must-have for collectors and fans of the show alike.

 Battlestar Galactica Cylon Minimates | Cool Stuff | SCI FI Weekly
In the newly revived version of the 1978 TV series Battlestar Galactica, the Cylons evolved into human form, indistinguishable from humans, with 12 different models that were designed to blend into Colonial society as sleepers or moles, some even unaware of their origin and mission.
This is meant to reflect the unique ability of Cylons to download their personalities and experiences into new bodies after dying.

 Battlestar Galactica Cylon Raider
One irony I noted is that the studio model doesn't have the Cylon emblem embedded in the nose, as shown prominently in one famous shot from the original series.
The detailing on the top of the Monogram version is very close to that of the studio model replica with the main differences existing on the nose and tail of the fighter.
The Monogram raider was good enough to be used to fill out the Cylon hanger in the episode "The Hand of God" and, as such, is canon to the series, technically giving the original series Cylons two distinct fighter designs.

The Cylons are morphing into characters from a 1970s SF sexploitation novel, while Galactica's crew seems more like the one in Iain M. Banks' brilliant novel, Consider Phlebas.
Adama sent Bulldog into Cylon space, where he was promptly seen by some Cylon -- and then shot down by Adama, who was trying to protect the Armistice.
For the Cylon to launch their strikes when they did, they had to have been beefing up their combat forces for years in advance.

PASADENA, Calif. -- Future prospects for Sci Fi Channel's "Battlestar Galactica" are not as bleak as the show itself, but they're not as bright as the supernova of media coverage the series has received.
If "Galactica" is renewed, producers are talking about making a TV movie about the first and second Cylon wars that would air and be released on DVD before the start of season four.
As for the "Galactica" spinoff series, "Caprica," Stern said that it will still be under consideration when network executives green-light new programs in March.

Starbuck found the feedtube to the organic brain that was supplying it with oxygen and pulled it out to breath on, then she managed to reseal the hole she had blown in the raider's side and allowed the tube to supply the now sealed enough interior with oxygen.
I'm vascillating as it is, between believing that all cylons have that ability (to sleep) and that all the Sharon models have that ability, or that its programmed into individual units as needed, as you said.
Come to think of it, though, there are evidently numerous Cylon infiltrators in the colonial fleet, so they would constitute a sort of local intranet that could handle such uploads and preserve the data, presumably until such time as they could be reunited with the collective (pardon the expression) and upload it into the whole.

But as we all now know, the cult science fiction franchise proved to be the Little License That Could, with an increasingly popular, "reimagined" series on SciFi finding a home on more and more critics' "best-of" lists and a host of comics series and specials coming out from Dynamite Entertainment.
"Cylon Apocalypse" is intended to be a continuation of the original "Galactica" TV series, taking place, Grillo-Marxuach indicated, a short time after "The Hand of God" finale episode.
Grillo-Marxuach has fond memories of the original "Battlestar Galactica" series, and it was because of this that he jumped at the chance to work on Dynamite's continuation of the classic universe.

One speculation is that it will simply be the inner "digipak" (cardboard fold-out disc case) that is currently inside the larger "Cylon Head" version.
