Who says that the chrome Cylons are the original ones? The colonies were a diaspora from somewhere else, so maybe, just maybe, the humanoid Cylons have been around much, much longer than suspected. They *were* created by humans, pre-diaspora, they *have* evolved, and they've been waiting for a very long time to engage their plan.
The chrome Cylons, a recent re-invention of lost technology, were just adopted by them as their dumb little cousins when they met somewhere 'out there' after the First Cylon War, a couple decades ago. An opportunity was seen, and voila. Plan engages.
mua ha ha hah ha . Yay. This dovetails nicely into my "progenitor" concept above.
The big questions are
(A) What is earth now,
(B) if humans started from earth, then left, then why did the 13th tribe go "back" to earth?
(C) What has Kobol got to do with their "origins" -- was it the first colony after some exodus from 21st-century earth 4,000-5000 years ago?
(D) When exactly were Cylons made, what models, how they evolved, chromes, skinjobs, "final five" (first "five") first who?? How many wars with them??
Well, the producers are probably making things up along the way anyway.
