Why wasn't Android 16 already activated?

Post by Generico Garbagio » Fri May 26, 2017 6:57 pm

I have another question that I wish to throw out there.

Was there a reason that Gero didn't activate 16 instead of 17 and 18? I mean, we saw what happened when 16 was activated, wasn't he just stronger and less rebellious?

It seems like a bad idea to active two androids that have history of being rebellious and still could easily kill you, VS 1 android only. Why did he activate 17 and 18 once before anyway and not 16 then? Or DID he activate 16 before?

He just sounds like a bad scientist. (sorry Gero) (Bet 19 could "suck your energy" real good amirite?)

If you did read it please tell me how.

He didn't want to activate 17 or 18 either or he wouldn't bother randomly attacking a city to draw in Goku with his fat doll android. In an emergency 16 seems like a much, much better option.

Do you think it was purely an emotional reason?

Gero clearly didn't trust #16 to obey his orders in his plan for world domination. #16 was too interested in nature preservation to be useful for a bad guy.

Funny 16 was the one all into protecting nature and animals, but 17 has since become a park ranger.
