We Have a New Bogey
During tonight's episode, a new machine-style Cylon was introduced. This appears to be a troop transport to take Centurions (and possibly human form Cylons) onto Colonial ships. This is extremely hard to combat, as evident by Apollo's, "Almost had 'im."

So do we count the "new bogey" as one of the twelve models or is it really a "new" model.
Where did the "12 model" printout come from? I always thought Baltar
Tom Zarack, the terrorist leader is not a cylon. But he is Richard Hatch, who played apollo in the original series. I must be behind the times.
I can tell he's not a cylon, though, by the shape of his head.
See, early in the series I kept noticing that Lee Adama reminded me of Lance Armstrong. Something about the way he looked. But after awhile, I started noticing other characters also seemed similar to Lance. It didn't really sink in until I leaned here that Lee Adama is a cylon!
The other characters that reminded me of Lance Armstrong.... just a little, were all cylons. It's not the faces exactly.... it's the shape of their heads. I think that the actors playing cylons were all selected in part to have a specific head profile... like if you turn out the lights you would have difficulty telling them apart. Same with Lee.
Now I still think Lee, or Jamie, could play Lance in the Lance Armstrong movie, but for Battlestar, selecting actors this way would be kind of like the computer in the Matrix using a bunch of copies of the same people in simulations. It's something we might notice.
Gaius and Gaeta would be eliminated as cylons, because their head shapes are too round, too far from the cylon norm.
