In the case of Cell and all bio-androids based on him, their organic ki is derived from the cells of powerful Saiyans, a Namekian and mutant members of Frieza's race. These androids can be tracked by ki sense, though as Cell proves, they in turn can also learn to sense other's ki as well as mask their own ki signature to elude pursuit, just as organics can.

The third kind whose energy exists and circulates as a form of organic ki similar to that of naturally born beings, Bio-Androids (such as Cell and the Cell Juniors), New Type Androids (like Android 21) and Clones (such as Clone Frieza) are the types like this.These androids can be possibly vulnerable if they let their guard down.

However, they can be detected indirectly due to the depleting ki-signature of the victim. This model, like the other Android models (exempting Bio-Androids), is immune to being directly detected by Ki Sense or Scouters due to lacking a ki-signature. Gero oversees his configuration into the latter, rather than the type with no apparent limitations (though it is implied by #18 that this is because the energy-absorbing model is easier to control). The more energy they absorb from their victims, the stronger they get. The Energy Absorption Model ( エネルギー吸きゅう収しゅう式しき, Enerugī Kyūshū-shiki ): the kind which requires constant intake of energy, usually stolen from victims, to keep their power reservoir from draining, which would cause the android to malfunction (such as #19 and #20).Regardless, they can be vulnerable to attacks if they let their guard down. Despite having no drawbacks and infinite energy and stamina, these androids can still be parred on or even be outclassed by non-android opponents in strength and power, if they do not train that is (Examples when Future Trunks easily destroys Future 17 and 18 with little effort, when Cell easily dominates Present 17 and later, Present 18, and when the God of Destruction, Beerus knocks the latter out by elbowing her from behind). Since they are human-based, these android models can increase their power and get stronger if they train, and still retain their organic reproductive systems, allowing them to reproduce (as in the case of Android #18 giving birth to a healthy daughter, Marron). Androids #17 and #18 are special cases, because they had special infinite power cores, which is required by the Bio-Android, Cell, through absorption of the cyborg duo to reach his Perfect Form.

However, they can be detected indirectly via their opponents' ki. They are immune to being directly detected via Ki Sense or Scouters due to lacking a ki-signature. Gero explains that in order for their infinite energy reactors to function, he had to disable the behavioral limiters wired into their firmware). This type was said to be more difficult to control (Dr. 'Eternal Model Type'): the kind with no drawbacks and an unlimited power supply (such as #8, #16, #17 and #18).

There are three models of androids seen in the series, according to their power supplies: However, in Future Trunks' Alternate Timeline, the androids succeed in their plans for world destruction, managing to kill all of the main Dragon Team members (except for Goku, who dies of a heart virus, and Gohan, who survives but is killed 13 years later) until finally being destroyed by Trunks almost 20 years later. Originally, all of the androids were planned to be used to kill Goku, however, most of the androids turned to the good side or are destroyed. Bio-Androids such as Cell and the Cell Juniors are classified as Earthlings, presumably due to being created on Earth despite their extraterrestrial cells.Īndroids serve as main villains during the Android conflict, each serving a purpose of their own. In Dragon Ball Fusions, those that are modelled after Earthlings are considered part of the Earthling race, while Mira is considered an Offworlder due to being modelled after the Demon Realm race, Android 76 a Namekian due to being based on Namekians, and Mecha Goku a Saiyan due to being modelled after Goku. The only one that can be sensed via Ki Sense is Gero's ultimate creation, Cell. Gero, except for Cell, also have no detectable aura unlike Saiyans, Humans, and others, so they cannot be directly tracked using Scouters or Ki Sense. Due to their inorganic nature, they, or at least the ones created by Dr. Most of the androids are said to have unlimited energy and eternal life. 'Artificial Human') are robotic/cyborg humans, most of which were created by the evil scientist Dr.
