I thought they didn't want Cell becoming perfect because they didn't really know his intentions. He might have decided to destroy everything. Either way, they knew Cell would be stronger than them, and that meant they wouldn't be able to stop him.
As to why Goku let Vegeta go in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber first...I dunno. Maybe he thought spending a year with Trunks would make him less evil?
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!I still want to know HOW Gero turned himself into an android. Did 19 do the surgery? Did he program a really sophisticated auto-surgeon to remove and implant his brain with no complications?
Or did he just gradually augment his body bit by bit until he was more machine than man? If he replaced his brain with a computer would it fall under the Ship of Theseus problem?

You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!You are now thinking of Gero performing that surgery on himself. This man was the most badass surgeon ever born.
@Rob
The Z fighters wouldn't know anything about all of that if Cell hadn't advertised the fact that he's morally bankrupt.

himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariYeah, he did.
Stopping Cell from reaching his perfect form makes sense because if it's everything he makes it out to be they won't be able to stop him from doing what he wants, and since he's already a murderer that's really not a good idea.
Vegeta actually floats the idea of letting him absorb the Androids to give them less to kill, but it's too risky to go with.
Edit: Cell has an evil ki. He wouldn't deceive anyone.

I remember when I was a kid, watching the Cell Games episodes after missing most of the Android Saga, and my assessment was, "If Vegeta's so upset because he's not as good as Goku, why doesn't Goku just offer to train Vegeta? If they'd gone into the Room of Spirit and Time Hybubaly Time Chamber together, Goku and Vegeta could have gotten way stronger from sparring together! Instead, Goku wasted all his time training Gohan, and that's why everyone's losing."
Reflecting on this as an adult much more familiar with the characters, mechanics, and the concept of a rivalry, there is not a single part of this that isn't HILARIOUSLY wrong.
EDIT: Minor correction because I didn't actually know the phrase "Room of Spirit and Time" as a kid watching this show.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.Actually, I'd love to see Vegeta training with Goku. That'd be an interesting direction to have taken the rivalry post-Buu.
My various fanfics.I'd just love to see the conversation.
- GOKU: So I've been thinking about how weak you are, Vegeta, and I'd love to train you so you can be as strong as I am!
- VEGETA: I will beat you to death with your own tongue.
Goku: Y'gotta catch me first! -IT's away-
Vegeta: STUPID BULLSHIT ALIEN MAGICAL MARTIAL ART!

Yeah, that's not exactly realistic. Although Gohan and Future Trunks training together would be adorable.

Well, they are both being trained by Whis in Fn F, right? So we might get to see some of that.

The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!He wasn't compatible...Cell required 17 and 18 specifically.
Why would Gero make an adroid based off of his son to be absorbed by another one of his creations?

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.I think it was... Honor Trip? (how did a space turn into ! what is going on)
The one that had Gohan scramble his programming from punching him so hard?

It would actually be the second time.
Man, this thread seems to be a great way to pick up Fanfic ideas.
The *Legendary* Super Saiyan is motivated by a crying infant! He is a literal giant f***ing baby!I'm bored waiting for Xenoverse, so I did the same thing I did for most games I'm looking forward to and made a dream concept for a future installment of said game.
What's your ideal Dragon Ball fighter?
The vs. mode from Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure...good ol' fashion fighting fun.

Now that's a subject for a fan fic.
