My vote is for Helo. Chew on this: Tyrol is a Cylon, and he had a baby with Cally. If Helo is a Cylon, then Hera (the baby that he and Boomer had) isn't the hybrid, and the baby by Tyrol and Cally is. That's the kind of bait and switch the guys like to pull.
On a further note, what if each of the final 5 only had 1 copy, instead of multiples like the other 7.
I'd say the final 5 have to only have one copy, simply because of the plot device of the other models not knowing anything about them. If any other copies of them were anywhere among the Cylon fleet, the other models would know who some of the final 5 were.
Here's a puzzler, though... if Saul Tigh is a Cylon (as it appears that he is), then how long has he been one? By that, I mean, was there a real human Saul Tigh at some point who was replaced? Consider that the Cylons did not have the ability to create human models until some time after the first war, which Saul Tigh fought in.
And even if there was a real Saul Tigh who was replaced, three of the other four are too young to have fought in the first Cylon war. Where and when were those models introduced?
Or is there some even older model of Cylon, predating the first Cylon war? Five original models from some point so far in the past that the Twelve Colonies don't remember them, not even as myth and legend?
