Androids!!

 

 

 

The androids were created by Dr. Gero to destroy Goku after he defeated the Red Ribbon army single handily in Dragonball. #16, #17 and #18 were made to be extremely strong.  Their energy never runs out like the human/Saiyan fighters do which makes them almost impossible to beat.  #19 and #20 were energy absorbing models which can absorb the energy blasts of the Z fighters.  #16, #17 and #18 do not have this weakness.  Because their energy never runs out they do not need to absorb energy. All the androids are programmed with Goku and the other fighters every move (but they were un aware of the SSJ level).  #17 and #18 are evil androids that destroy the fighters and the world in Trunks's alternative future.   The androids in Trunks' future are much more evil and ruthless than the androids in the normal timeline, but they aren't as strong.

 

Android 8:

Looking more like something out of Frankenstein, #8 makes friends with Goku in Dragonball.

Android 16;

#16 is the 'extra' android created by Dr.Gero.  He is quite a big guy with ginger hair and a hard head.  He loves animals and nature (in a non gay kinda way).  His friends are #17 and #18.  He is stronger than the both of them (just) and does his best to protect #18 to stop her from being absorbed by Cel.  He was built to find and destroy Goku, so this is what he concentrates on and thinks about for a long time.

Android 17;

#17 is the android that DOES LOOK gay, but isn't (at least I don't think he is).  His best friend is #18.  He gets absorbed by Cel.  Both be and #18 were told by Cel that they were created by Dr. Gero to complete him, which is why he HAD to absorb them.  #17 was described by #18 as "a person who loved the person he was.  Life was a big game to him and he loved it" which is why he didn't let Cel absorb him without a fight. 

Android 18;

Android 18 is wished to life with the dragonballs (so she IS a REAL person!!).  She marries Krillen and together they have a daughter called Maron (-hm, funny, that name sounds kinda familiar).  Maron...not Marron!  

Android 19;

#19 is #20/Dr. Gero's companion/partner/butt buddy (only kidding).  He is an energy absorbing model.  He is pretty easily destroyed by SSJ Vegeta.

 

Dr. Gero;

The mad scientist and creator of the androids.  He was the genius behind the 'Red Ribbon' army in Dragonball which was beaten by Goku when he was a kid.  Although Goku defeated Gero, he  didn't have the heart to kill him.  He later creates the androids to kill Goku, but the future versions turn on him and kill him before going after Goku.  In the 'real' timeline, he turns himself into part android (#20).  He too is defeated by Vegeta.  Dr. Gero also created Cel from the cells of the greatest fighters such as Goku, Piccolo, Krillen, Frieza etc.
