Talk:U-87 Cyber Combat Unit/Archive 1

is it possible to rename this page? i can't think of a single instance that the U-87 has been referred to as Cylon Prototype. i know that the name is for use within the wiki, but it seems kind of weird not having the page title be something from the show's canon. i know they've called it a lot of things throughout the season, but the most common one has simply been U-87. what do we all think?

I was writing recaps for the episode just before the mid-season premiere where I took note of dialogue and like you, I don't recall any specific instance where the term "Cylon Prototype" was ever used (as near as I can tell they only referred to it as a prototype once, in "Rebirth"). Seemed they predominately referred to it just as the U-87. Where did the term "Cylon Prototype" even originate from?--Mars 13:06, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Supapuerco appears to have been using it descriptively. I support a name change to U-87 Cyber Combat Unit (that was the full name, right, or was it something different?). -- Noneofyourbusiness 20:55, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

well, Cyber Combat Unit was used only in the pilot as far as i know. since then, the thing has mostly been referred to simply as U-87, with the unit containing Zoe referred to as the prototype. they called it a Cylon in the pilot and in "Gravedancing", they have also referred to it as the "robot soldier" and "warrior robot". i would support U-87 Cyber Combat Unit, or even U-87 Cylon.

"Apotheosis" Cylon models

i am going to create a page for the three cylon models introduced in "Apotheosis" - the construction worker models as well as the cylon butler. however, i'm unsure what to call them. they are distinctly NOT U-87s and clearly not centurions. was thinking either "Caprica Cylons" or "Civilian Cylons". what do you guys think?

Works with me. I'm leaning towards Civilian Cylons myself.--DrWho42 01:32, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Caprica definition: a belief held by members of the STO, including Clarice Willow, with various view points (CAP: "Reins of a Waterfall"). Willow believes that the STO can prevail if they use Zoe Graystone's program to offer real eternal life to their members in the form of holographic avatars. One of the Hybrids also uses this term during the Fall of the Colonies, stating "Apotheosis was the beginning before the beginning" (TRS: "The Plan"). (See: resurrection program)
