BSG: There are 12 Models of Cylons

In the 2003 mini-series, Number Six said that there a only twelve models of Cylons. Let's see how many we've seen so far:
  1. Shelly "Number Six" Godfrey, Baltar's lover.
  2. Doral, the tourguide/suicide bomber.
  3. Leobon, the arms dealer killed by Adama in the miniseries and later by Pres. Roslyn.
  4. Sharon "Boomer" Valeri, Tyrol's ex-girlfriend.
  5. The Centurians, often seen chasing Helo and Sharon through the woods of Caprica.
  6. The Raider, currently being examined in the Galactica's landing bay
So, we've seen at least six models, maybe seven if the Base Star has sentience of some kind.

Although I predict that "God" is a Cylon model, analogous to the Imperious Leader in the original show, the human Cylons aren't acting as if they know that their God is a machine.

I think we'll eventually see two more human models. It would be good if one was a child. One should also be an old person.
