Cyrus with the burned U-87 prototype
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")
