THE BATTLESTAR GALACTICA ART OF RALPH MCQUARRIE:
THE CYLONS
A Cylon base star, visualized by Ralph McQuarrie. Interestingly, this design can be seen briefly in the viper warbook display in the premiere. Also, a Cylon base star roughly similar to this can be seen in Richard Hatchs BG trailer. |

An identical baseship in a slightly different scene. |

Cylon raiders attacking the Twelve Colonies. |

Baltar is taken before the Cylon Imperious Leader, who is surprisingly humanoid in this view. Note McQuarries Cylons; their helmet scanners go all the way around their heads, a brilliant and logical design. Again, its a shame this concept was not used. | |
Baltar aboard a Cylon ship with a couple of Cylon pilots. McQuarries Cylons inevitably have blue eye scanners. A Cylon with blue scanners appears briefly in Richard Hatchs trailer. | |
