As the Cylons reveal themselves and attack the Colonial Warriors, one of their kind locks on and blaster fires in this great posed publicity shot. With the Galactica merchandising of 1978/79, this image was particularly well used as part of a set of 4 UK-released puzzles from Waddingtons. Taken specially during rehearsals on Saga from a Star World, the image would have the unique Cylon blaster pulse and its distinctive red eye added/rotoscoped on, likely by an Apogee technician during the pilot/film's post production stage.
I had that jigsaw...and the one with all the battlestars as well
