Toaster

Toaster is Colonial slang for the U-87 robot, also known as a cylon.

Examples

• Tomas Vergis coins the term when examining the damaged U-87 robot (which was damaged in the crash when Zoe escaped the lab). ("End of Line") ("Unvanquished")

Cyrus Xander: . . . whatever spark it had is gone. Thing's toast.

Tomas: Or a toaster.

• According to Dr. Gaius Baltar in 100YR, "The last time anyone saw the Cylons they looked more like walking chrome toasters." ("Battlestar Galactica: Miniseries")
