It came loose in a padded envelope as I recall.

It was a clearance item for under a dollar. I still have it, with the rifle.

As Anon said it would be easy enough for Mattel to have done the Command Centurion by substituting gold chrome parts for the silver chrome ones. Other than the colour difference the Command model had a slightly deeper voice than the regular cannon fodder Centurions.

I've heard some backstory that the Command models along with the IL series brains had a second 'brain' as well as the single processor that the regular Centurions and worker class drones shown in 'The Living Legend'had. Seems the Imperious Leader had a third 'brain'as well that was some sort of internet access he could use to monitor the empire.

I also got the Hot Wheels car for sending Mattel a couple missiles from my Cylon Raider.

Long gone, alas.

You could buy a silver cylon, cover his/its black parts, + then spray paint it gold. Hm.
