The real beauty of the 1978 Cylon's is that they are fairly "Low Poly" toasters. So why does that matter?
You can have Lot's of them in a render!! The more elaborate and detailed the model, the more memory that gets
taken up rendering the image. Frightening Enemies lean toward the elaborate-side, so less are seen.
Cheap low-poly enemies, like these guy's, make for fun kill-able enemies that have vast numbers in a render.
Let's face it. The enemy should be!! toasters!! Slow moving, so that Our warriors can shoot them easily. Chrome Bright so that they are easily seen from 3 miles away. need I go on!!
