the true history of the cylons
Darth Mojo: "“My first concern was getting the actors to see out of the helmets,” explained Probert. “Very small holes were eventually added to provide visibility for them. The remaining pieces were designed after researching historical suits of armor, observing how various elements were crafted to allow as much free movement as possible. Starting with that as a basis, there was a bit of experimentation and fitting of prototype pieces until everything worked.”"

I think it's fascinating to learn about where these designs came from, especially something as recognizable as a cylon. It's really cool to know that Mr. Probert didn't just come up with his design out of the blue- he had several different and unique influences which directed his design, and he had real motivations behind his choices. It's great to hear about his process and why he made the choices he did.
