Sorry about that; caught two of those in editing, missed the other two.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.We may some day get a name for them if they ever become a prominent aspect of the franchise but, as it stands, outside of Dragon Ball Heroes - which has a FANTASTIC amount of out-of-continuity content but is sadly Japan-exclusive - the only members of their race we've ever seen are Frieza, King Cold, and Film-Exclusive Cooler, all of whom are mutants and are not indicative of their actual race.
So it's never really come up.

So Piccolo and Frieza are both demons?
Huh.
Mutant what I wonder.

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseIt's the same rationale that led him to design a computer that would work on constructing an android that would not be complete until long after its existence ceased to be relevant, and who could only attain its ultimate power by absorbing two androids who, by that point in time, have either already accomplished the mission that is the entire reason for its existence - rendering its Perfect Form completely superfluous and pointless - or have failed to do so and are now destroyed - rendering its Perfect Form forever unattainable. Cell, as constructed, can only achieve Perfect Form if there is no longer a reason to do so.
The repeated revisions that Toriyama kept making to appease a friend who didn't like the arc ultimately resulted in Dr. Gero making senile, nonsensical decisions at a fairly constant rate.

And also for what it's worth, Super 17 from GT is a combination of the infinite-energy and energy-absorption models.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!Sorry for asking so many questions, but why is the name "Big Getty Star" so funny?

what do you mean I didn't win, I ate more wet t-shirts than anyone elseI have no idea if this is dub only, and maybe it's just because Super Perfect Cell is a tad unstable, but he goes on a whole rant about how he at last understood what Gero truly wanted and why he created Cell in the first place.
It's also one of the coolest lines ever uttered by Cell. "I AM THE UNIVERSE'S END!!!"

It also makes sense in regard to recent interviews shedding some light on Dr. Gero.

Man, Dr Gero's back story is really sad and is literally begging to be expanded on in fan fiction to turn him in to unreasonably sympathetic character. But it back stories like that of Dr Gero's that make me sad that we will never see a Dragon Ball reboot because if such a thing were to happen Dr Gero could literally get a whole arc worth of character development in light of new information of his background. But it will never happen...
