It would've been nice to have third form Frieza's head tho. I want to make some kind of ugly CAC, so much that the ally AI will be confused and will try to attack me because they think I'm on the opposite side.
We do see 17 raising his hand to lend energy to Goku's spirit bomb at the end of Z tho.

...Hell, Android 8 did it too.
...Even though Buu blew up the planet and I thought 8 was completely artificial so I guess he was brought back by the Dragon Balls?
...I mean, they wished back everyone killed by Cell. Is it possible 16 got brought back too when 17 was? I think Gohan or somebody said it wouldn't work before Cell crushed 16's head, but. On the other hand, the characters aren't necessarily omniscient.
Or Toriyama forgot and it's a plot hole.
He does that sometimes.

As the character is never mentioned again, it's not explicitly stated that 16 was not revived - like, there was nobody going, "Man, it sure is great how everybody who isn't Android 16 is alive now," but it's pretty generally assumed that he wasn't brought back because he's full-machine; he was never really "alive" to begin with. He doesn't have a soul or anything that would tie him to a continuous existence without his body, so once the chip that his "mind" is stored on was destroyed, that's the end for 16.
Toriyama likely just had a brain-fart with 8 showing up post-destruction of Earth. It's a brief appearance during a sequence that's intended as a fun stroll down memory lane, so he probably got caught up in the nostalgia and didn't realize the plot hole.

If you're thinking it must be life energy, that didn't stop King Kai from warning Goku about using the Spirit Bomb while the sun's out. And it didn't stop Eighter from contributing despite being an android with no biological components whatsoever
Taking a similar line of questioning: how much energy could 18 pump into an energy ball or overcharged beam before throwing it?

I have a message from another time...17 giving energy to the Spirit Bomb is more than likely a plothole (Since Launch was the one that was originally planned to appear). Probably why the anime had him pointing a gun at poachers and having them put up their hands.
Anyway, most important review of Xenoverse thus far:

"If you weren't so crazy I'd think you were insane."He probably could, but it'd need to be a separate wish from "Restore life to folks who died!" for the same reasons why he doesn't rebuild the Cell Games Arena that got blown up or such. For the purpose of resurrection, Android 16 is an object, not a person.
I'm Vegeta, aren't I?

I just named my Frieza guy Ken.
What started out as a pleasant afternoon of drugs and surgery has not gone as planned.
