This sounds like harmony to me.
I would expect Supremacy to use that which is described in the Tech Web as Living Metal.
As much as not have to breath, eat, sleep, and be immortal in the sense that if something happen to your body, you just download your mind in another shell
Hmm, maybe that is it. Could be that it's just hard for me to make out the yellow eyes because I have a small screen. Thank you.

Supremacy is great and all, until someone drops an EMP

Because dropping a regular nuke is so much harder
Yes, exactly.Because dropping a regular nuke is so much harder

An EMP can have a wider area of effect depending on things like detonation altitude, and preserves infrastructure and environment better for future occupation/habitation.Because dropping a regular nuke is so much harder
That said, highly advanced Supremacy stuff would likely be shielded against such pulses.

Nuclear explosions also create a characteristic pulse of electromagnetic radiation called a Nuclear EMP or NEMP. In military terminology, a nuclear warhead detonated hundreds of kilometers above the Earth's surface is known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) device with the added radius of the high altitude.
So why exactly would a simple EMP burst be a worse than a nuke for a Supremacy faction?
Indeed, the most effective place to have a nuclear weapon go off for its EMP affect would be in orbit.
The nuke/EMP is a threat to anyone, but let's do a scenario
A city radar detects a incoming nuke, the klaxons of all streets start to go off, the population that is capable of reach the bunkers lock themselves and brace for the worse, the warhead hits the heart of city, the area around is devasted, the electrical systems destroyed, and radiation spreads in a big radius.
Then as a Purity or Harmony, the survivors have to worry about radiation levels, food stocks, water, air filtration, where to flee to avoid the bunker don't turn into a tumb.
As a Supremacy, my sensors indicate that nuclear bombardment has ceased, let's regroup on surface, calculate damage, systems that can be restored and study radiation effects on the vicinity flora and fauna

Even current day tech can be shielded from EMP. Supremacy would probably be fine.

As I said, it's not necessarily worse for Supremacists, but better for those who would shut them down and occupy the area afterwards.

Not if you think Battlestar Galactica
I like me some flesh... ummm... and with reboots to new body, so what if it's more vulnerable than full metal. EDIT: I still stand by my personal decision that this (Cylons like) supremacy would be the one I'd go aboard with. As it stands now, full robotics brains in the jar like supremacy (at least it seems to be the popular interpretation), not for me.

Based on Koslov's Supremacy look, the truth is likely in between. Think Deus Ex

Kozlov seems to be the only one who actually changes clothes (not only their color and details) from its initial appearance.
