[up][up]Welp, that settles it then. Digging a bit on that site, I've found that, which implies that 8 (and everyone before him) is indeed human based.

Also, this site have all kind of interesting Q&A. I didn't know the source of calling Mr. Satan "Mark" came from Toriyama himself.

[up]Um, no, that flat out says that all of them except 17 and 18 were completely mechanical.

[up]No. The wording is a bit weird, but it separate the 1-12 androids into two categories. For teh 1-8, it says the androids are flawed because trouble with "personality control" and that Gero decided to change latter on to using humans who are already bad to get around of that (17 and 18). At no point it says these first 8 androids are not based on humans. But the second part explicitly says 9-12 were fully artificial, while still saying they had a problem of "personality control.

Again, the wording is awkward, but if you take 1-8 are fully artificial, it makes no sense to separate them from 9-12. They would be all synthetic beings with personality control problems. But if you take 1-8 are human based, the separation have a meaning. Furthermore, comparing them to 17 to 18 makes a bit more sense. 18 would be regular "good" humans, so they didn't work well as soldiers. So Gero took "bad" humans to try to make up for it with 17 and 18. The wording is really strange with that first question, but I think that is what was said.

[up]Did you even look at the headings and answers? It goes "What kind of Artificial Humans were 1-8?" "Entirely artificial like 19!" and the same for 9 through 12.

The wording means that after all the others were failures he decided to go with humans (17 and 18) but they were failures as well, so he backtracked and made 19 completely artificial as well.

This isn't up for debate, your own source disagrees with you.

[up]Oh, no, I didn't read the headings. My bad. Then I guess the wording is just plain bizarre. Got confused because it divided into two groups and only one of the main body text actually said the were artificial.

Come to that, I don't really see the advantage in a human-shaped robot to begin with.

I can see the point of a cyborg keeping human shape, but not a robot.

Gero's just lonely and wants his androids to look humanlike so he can pretend he has friends.

Colitis (inflation of the lining of the colon) it seems. Caused by what hasn't been confirmed.

Oh hey, I have Crohn's disease, and that's like the brother of Colitis as far as diseases go.
