Cylon Centurions - Chrome-plated robot warriors with scanning red eyes on the sci-fi series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA /ABC/1978-80. The Centurions were the robotic soldiers of the evil Cylons, a reptilian galactic civilization (who had since died off) whose main directive was "the final annihilation of the life form known as man." Under the direction of the Imperious Leader, a large three-brained reptilian, (the receptacle of all Cylon knowledge), the Cylons attacked a twelve-planet solar system and systematically exterminated its humanoid inhabitants. The relentless Centurions then pursued the few fleeing survivors through space in an attempt to destroy them all. See also - "Lucifer the Robot"
