If Gero came back now, he'd just be a head, because that was the state he was in when he died.
But similar to Freeza, this wouldn't be a detriment to him since his head can survive on it's own apparently, so he'd just need a new body built for him.
One Strip! One Strip!His head was purely mechanical though.
When Freeza is brought back.
Like. His eye looks more like Mecha Freeza than Final Form. His. Eyelid? Cheek and brow? Has that dark blue/gray, metallic/armored texture around it.
But none of Mecha Freeza's purely mechanical parts are there.
...I'm thinking specifically of the thing on his head that looks like, I dunno, a codpiece or a hose or something. His mechanical left arm and both legs are gone too. Even though he seems to have them in hell.
...When 18 is brought back after Buu kills her, she's still a cyborg, as is 17 after Cell and presumably Buu again also.
And when plenty of people are brought back they still have earrings.
...Also, even though Freeza was in his Final Form when he became Mecha Freeza and then died, after they put him in the medical pod he recovers into his First Form. So.

The Frieza Coccoon in Hell isn't his body. He's a disembodied soul. This is just the form that his soul takes while being purified or some shit. Something something residual self-image something something.
17 and 18 are biomechanical, which means there's probably not an ounce of steel or aluminum in their bodies. They're more akin to Cell than 16, 19, and Gero.
Doesn't explain why 17's self-destruct bomb was resurrected, mind. Unless that's also biomechanical?
ANDROID SCIENCE IS WEIRD.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.And with infinite energy reactors somewhere. Which are apparently also biomechanical. So, like, next to 17's heart or some shit, there's a fleshy doodad that's a perpetual motion device or some shit and provides his body with endless amounts of non-ki energy.
My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.You know, I'm really starting to think that video I posted in the main thread about who was smarter between Gero and Bulma was wrong.
True, Bulma created a time machine, but Gero might have a wider level of knowledge considering he does programming, mechanical engineering and genetic engineering.
I'm seriously wondering why he never did any of this shit for the Red Ribbon Army.
One Strip! One Strip!Android 9 is supposedly mecha-commander Red so we can assume he took the body of the fellow and mechanized him. Wether he was activated or even made in the first place is unknown but Dragon ball online did feature that incarnation of Red.
Who knows if models 10-15 (Ignoring the movie ones) are also kidnapped people but that could be the case for most of the models sans 16.
Uni catI have this mental iimage of Gero sitting in his office reading a science journal and he comes across an article saying that someone has discovered that there's a cicada that has genetic memory, and Gero is all like "Well that's neat, but I can't use that to kill Son Goku," then he puts the journal down and walks off, then a minute later he runs back and picks up the journal and is all like "Wait, wait, yes! I CAN use this to kill Son Goku!"
Heh.
Another thought that dawned on me is why Gero went with Androids (beyond it being his expertise):
Everyone remember Sergeant Metallic? The first Android Goku ever fought, and the only one until Cell to hand him his ass fair and square?
Yeah, I can see where Gero thought there was potential there. Hell, Goku didn't beat Metallic either...in fact, he's never really beaten any of Gero's Androids. Metallic ran out of power before he could continue the fight, 8 opted out due to his pacifism, 19 was winning even if due to outside circumstances and he was forced to give up against Cell.
The good doctor's methods were sincerely flawed, but his How to murder the hell out of Son Goku with Robot People thesis was actually quite sound.
One Strip! One Strip!

We did see Bulma pregnant in Super. Thats a first.
