So his Android selection line consists of Frankenstein's Monster, Trucker (w/Blue-Skinned Trucker add-on optional), Kilted Gray Man, Purple Radio Host, Tall Ornithologist, Big Forehead Twin #1, Big Forehead Twin #2, Fat Mime, and Shriveled Old Man.

I like to imagine it's Gero's product line, like how some people have cosmetics lines or perfume lines.

It's great to see them using the Faulconer style of music. I know they said a while back that they really didn't like the western OST, but I feel that by the time the Android/Cell Saga rolled by Faulconer really made a lot of his best tracks, the Cell theme being one of them.

Uhhh no.

I like Faulconer's tracks, and I liked Kai's track (Even if it did turn out to be plagiarized). I do not like the original Japanese OST at all, though.

I haven't been paying much attention to the music aside from Sudden Unexpected Faulconer Cell Theme, are they still using the Kai track, or did they switch to the original Japanese OST?

So I'm playing Raging Blast 2, and I have to ask. Why the FUCK does Android 17 have a GUN??

He just likes guns, I guess. Like how he just likes cars despite being faster than them. He embodies gun and car culture.

I didn't realize he had one in Raging Blast 2, though, unless you just mean the perpetually-holstered one and not one he actually uses or takes out.

Because he used one in the series. I think it's still in the opening for this abridged season.

Plus, guns double your power level. Just ask Farmer.

I just mean in general. Why carry around a colt revolver when you can generate more energy with your hands than the full nuclear armaments of most countries?

There was also the time he almost killed Dr. Wily with a gun.

Between that and hearing 18 dressed as a cowgirl, I'm pretty sure all androids have a Ranchero setting available to them. Apparently 17's rhymes.

I still wish 18 was stronger than 17. Even if just slightly.

Dr. Gero just really likes assorted American accents, I guess.

No, 17 was stronger. The Android ABCs in the manga state that 17 was made before his sister, and Gero focused too much on his strength which made him able to rebel. So when he made 18, he suppressed her power somewhat to fix this, but it still wasn't enough.

...how on earth do you blow up something that has an infinite energy supply without destroying, you know, everything, ever?

Probably by the same subset of science that lets someone transfer their still-living brain into a robot body.

I'm more concerned with the fact that Trunks should know they still have their bombs inside them, and he still set it off.

So uh, what happened to Eighter in the abridged universe? Actually what happened to him after his arc in the original universe?

So would Eighter have been killed and not-revived by Kid Buu blowing up the planet? I mean, 16 couldn't come back, so I don't think 8 could either.

Anyway, regarding Trunks blowing up the infinite-energy androids, I assume they don't literally have infinite energy inside them, they're just capable of producing energy indefinitely. The bombs are a bit more confusing, but I'm sure Gero designed the bombs to not detonate under force or destruction, otherwise he'd be blowing himself up along with the Earth should an Android be killed.

I think that, like ki attacks, the bombs somehow condense their explosion into a small area to not destroy the planet. Otherwise, 16 wouldn't have tried to use it against Cell.

Maybe 16 was willing to destroy Earth if it meant saving the rest of the universe from Cell? But yeah, it's probably more likely that the bombs aren't meant to destroy the earth.

How the fuck do you set off a bomb of 657 quadrillion megatons and not destroy the earth?

It is explained in the Cell Saga that fighters can somehow concentrate their energy and pack a bunch of power into a very small space.

Probably the part of Vegeta's sacrifice in the Buu saga that I'm looking most forward to is the dichotomy when he gently KO's Trunks, but just punches Goten in the gut.
