Less expensive.

Probably will look different from our previous discussion.

Some things for what I would look.

If it is a CG Cylon, the Centurion would be a lot squatter and more stable than the bipod to which we are accustomed.

The glowing eys would be suppressed in favor of a strip or plate to represent phased array radar.

Four legs for stability in a box frame spider chassis.

Two arms jointed to the sides of a turret cylinder center body rising from the center of the chassis box.. Dome top sensor cluster head.

If there is a gun aboard it, that gun will be either be on a detachable point and elevate mount on the turret, or the gun will be a rifle that is carried in the Centurion's arms and pointed as it aimsd with its arms.

That Centurion would look a lot like a centermassed robot Centaur.

As always;
