I always chalked it up to there being a discrepancy in the timeline between the two universes. I do enjoy some of the more complicated explanations in this thread though, specifically that the androids were holding back most of their power so as not to kill Trunks too soon.

I mean, whether Jesus is real or not, he - he's had a bigger impact on the world than any of us have. And the same can be said for Bugs Bunny and - and Superman and Harry Potter. They've changed my life - changed the way I act on the earth. Doesn't that make them kind of real? They might be imaginary but, but they're more important than most of us here. And they're all gonna be around here long after we're dead. So, in a way, those things are more realer than any of us.

I thought it was because Trunks could't sense their ki and didn't know they was toying around with Trunks the whole Time. That or as time went on(20 years right?) their Cyborg parts became rusty.
