Because 19 would get jelly?

To include several other androids...

Super 13 > 16 > 17 > 18 > 13 > 14 = 15 > 20 > 19 > 8

Wasn't it explained that an energy-absorbing model would be easier for Gero to control? Seems like a plausible reason to me - what good is a superpowered infinite-energy body if your mind can't comprehend it and use it acccordingly?

Perhaps he felt like a power-draining model could potentially outperform a perpetual-energy model if he drained enough powerful things.

Also, it's a shame he was so focused on revenge, because perpetual energy. He could have been set for life.

Always was sad that Android 8 never appeared in the Android Saga.

Why did Gero make 19 so fat?

Always wondered if he was modeled after Chiaotzu's people.

Chiaotzu has "people"? I thought he was just some midget with psychic powers.

@Bouncy Yeah, it was.

@Anom Guidebooks put 16 as being stronger than 13.

13 being noncanon confuses Pl placements as well

I don't think I ever actually saw 16 fight. Or most of the fights in our timeline.

Wait, 16 being stronger than Super 13?

I don't know if I buy that... Super 13 seems about as strong as Semi-Perfect Cell, maybe a little bit weaker...

All Super 13 did was beat up some pre-RoSaT Super Saiyans and Piccolo. 16 could easily do the same.

rosat?

I feel bad for Shenron in Abridged. No one ever asks how he's doing. Someone should just be like "I wish to get my wish granted later, once you've worked off some of that dark energy, but in the meantime, how are you?"

Yeah, I'm watching World's Strongest Abridged. Team Four Star got better, to say the least.

They couldn't even scratch 13 until Goku absorbed his spirit bomb, which I'd say made him temporarily about the strength of "Super Vegeta".

But if you say so, I guess you're right.

[up] Or the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

Yeah, I don't know how they came up with the name.

16 fought off Imperfect Cell. The same Cell that Picollo-fused-with-Kami couldnt scratch or slow down

so 16 is quite strong

^^ Some idiot mixed Hyperbolic with Hyperbaric, no doubt.

Well, a hyperbola, expressed in 3 dimensions, can look quite a bit like n hourglass. Also, there's the thinking that it refers to the fact that the lines of a hyperbola stretch off infinitely, calling to mind the strange dimensions and infinite space of that chamber. Though, Asymptotic Time Chamber might have been the more fitting name in that case.

I think some dub decisions just went with what sounded cooler. After all, that's what makes the Special Beam Cannon special.

I feel bad for Shenron in Abridged. No one ever asks how he's doing. Someone should just be like "I wish to get my wish granted later, once you've worked off some of that dark energy, but in the meantime, how are you?"

Yeah, I'm watching World's Strongest Abridged. Team Four Star got better, to say the least.

If you feel bad for him then, just watch Fusion Reborn. Poor dragon's reduced to comedy relief.

And they weren't really TFS back then but your statement definitely still stands.

I know they weren't. TFS wouldn't say a kind word about Yamcha.

I'll pass on Fusion Reborn. Conceptually, fusion's kinda cool, but in practice it's kinda bleh. Also, DBZ proper has lost basically all of its luster for me.
