[edit] Dr. Gero's Androids
[edit] Android #8 
Android 8 is the first android seen in the series, and the eighth in the series of androids built by Dr. Gero. He resembles the monster in Frankenstein. He was nicknamed "Eighter" (Hat-chan) by Goku. He then took it on as his real name. He was first seen when Murasaki tried to use him to fight Son Goku as a last resort inside Muscle Tower. He helped take down General White and drive the Red Ribbon Army away from Jingle Village.
[edit] Android #13
Android 13 is the thirteenth android in the series of androids built by Dr. Gero. He was built along with androids #14 and #15 with the mission of killing Goku. and a fair match for Son Goku. He "evolved" into the much more powerful Super Android 13 after absorbing key components from the defeated Android #14 and Android #15. He was killed by Super Saiyan Son Goku (Super Saiyan Goku) fueled by a Genki Dama. Only the fact that an Android #13 was created was mentioned in the manga.
[edit] Android #14
Android #14 is a large grayish/bluish android with a braided ponytail. He is almost completely silent; the only words he utters are "Son Goku", presumably to emphasize the fact that his sole purpose is to kill Goku. He was sliced in half by Mirai Trunks, which caused him to explode. After his defeat, two of his parts were absorbed by #13. Only the fact that an Android #14 was created was mentioned in the manga.
[edit] Android #15
Android #15 is a small purple android with a large hat, shades and found to consistently be drinking an (assumed) alcoholic beverage. He is the exact opposite of his counterpart 14, as he has many lines and his body structure is short and scrawny compared to #14's large size and muscles. This doesn't seem to affect his power level, though, as DBZ Movie 7 makes it seem as if the two are equal in power. He was decapitated by Super Saiyan Vegeta during their fight. After his defeat, two of his parts were absorbed by #13. Only the fact that an Android #15 was created was mentioned in the manga.
[edit] Android #16
Android #16 is a large android with red hair and a green armor. Unlike other androids, #16 is gentle by nature. His only objective was to kill Goku. His body is destroyed by Perfect Cell, however, his head survives, and requests that Hercule throw him over to the fight, to help Son Gohan control himself. Cell completely destroys #16 after he gets his word, crushing his head and pushing Gohan to go SSJ2.
[edit] Android #17
Android #17 is the brother of Android #18 and the stronger of the two twins. He was once a human, but was turned into a cyborg by Dr. Gero. His main mission was to kill Goku, but Dr. Gero also made him into a component that would allow Cell to evolve and transform. #17 was absorbed and was killed when after Cell was destroyed by Gohan. After being resurrected with the Dragon Balls by Kuririn's request, he chose a life of exile and lived in the wilderness for the rest of the series. In Dragon Ball GT, Dr. Myu and Dr. Gero created another #17. It escaped hell, and fused with the real #17 to become Super 17.
[edit] Super Android #17
Super Android #17 is the result of a fusion between Android 17 and Dr. Myū's copy of Android #17. This results in the powerful and unstoppable being known as Super Android #17 who is an energy-absorbing model like #19 and #20
[edit] Android #18
Android #18 is the sister of Android #17 She was once a human, but was turned into a cyborg by Dr. Gero. She was also absorbed by Cell, but during the Cell games, Son Gohan delivered a blow to Cell that made him spit her out. She later married Krillin and had a daughter named Marron.
[edit] Android #19
Android #19 is one of the first Android seen in Dragon Ball Z. He played a big role at the start of the Cell Saga as Dr Gero's sidekick. He was not particularly strong, but managed to best Goku in battle due to the heart virus that he had contracted. #19 almost killed Goku by draining him of his energy, but he was interrupted by Vegeta who proceeded to kill him.
[edit] Android #20
Dr. Gero made himself into a cyborg by implanting his brain into a robot body. He first appeared with Android #19 to kill Goku. After #19 was destroyed by Vegeta, he fled out of fear and with the intention of activating Android #17 and #18. Once he activated them, they quickly rebelled on their creator. #17 kicked his head off and crushed it. In Dragon Ball GT, he helped Dr. Myū create Super Android #17, who later went on to kill both of them.
[edit] Cell
Cell is Dr. Gero's ultimate creation. He was created from DNA cells of all of the strongest fighters in the universe; the cells were collected by a small device that was disguised as a flying bug.
The project Cell was taking a very long time to complete and Dr. Gero abandoned it, however, the computer that Cell was connected to was programmed to keep working on him even after Dr. Gero's death.
[edit] Cell Jr.
A Cell Jr. is a blue, child-like version of Cell. Cell spawned seven of these creatures during his battle with Son Gohan to battle the spectating Z fighters in an effort to make Gohan angry. When Gohan finally did snap, he dispatched them very quickly. They have a vocabulary limited to "Ki!" and "Yah!" in the Japanese version of the anime, but both the FUNimation and Ocean Group dubs of the series taunt the Z Fighters with phrases like "You missed me!" and "Nana booboo!"
[edit] Other Robots
[edit] Dr. Wheelo
Dr. Wheelo (Ｄｒ．ウイロー, also known as Dr. Willow) was a brilliant human scientist who performed experiments in biotechnology. Wheelo's ultimate goal was to modify the human race using his science. Before he could realize his goal he died but Dr. Kochin turned him into a android. His name is a pun on Uiro, a type of Japanese cake.
Dr. Kochin came through for his creator a second time fifty years later when he gathered the Dragon Balls and asked the Eternal Dragon Shenlong to thaw the ice-enshrouded fortress. Freed from his frozen sleep, Wheelo became obsessed with finding the world's strongest man so that his own brain might be transplanted into it. He sent Kochin and four Bio-Men to find this man, and at first they thought it was Master Roshi. But when Kishime, Misokatsun and Ibifurya beat Roshi, Wheelo started to doubt they had the right person.
He then went after Goku's body. When Wheelo's further attempts to subdue Goku met with failure, the enraged scientist decided to kill him and all friends. When that also failed, Wheelo decided to just concentrate the energy contained within his laboratory's power core to destroy the entire world. Goku was able to form a Spirit Bomb and used it to destroy Wheelo for good.
[edit] Dr. Kochin
Dr. Kochin was Dr. Wheelo's assistant, who was actually a robot (although he may have originally been human). Even though he appeared old and harmless, Dr. Kochin was actually well-equipped for fighting: his hand could transform into a machine gun, while his cane could hurl energy blasts. Kochin is the one who created the three biomechanical warriors Kishime, Misokatsun and Ibifurya. He gathered the Dragon Balls and used his wish to free Dr. Wheelo from his icy prison in the Tsurumaitsuburi Mountains after fifty years. Kochin was killed when Dr. Wheelo accidentally knocked him over a ledge in the laboratory; his body got too close to the conductor used to power Dr. Wheelo's robot body which caused his body to be electrocuted and he exploded in midair when falling to his demise.
[edit] Metallic
(FUNimation's dub: Major Metallitron)
Metallic is a large Android who Son Goku was forced to fight on the third floor of Muscle Tower. Goku went into a huge fight with this enormous robot. Goku tried all he could to fight him, but Metallic was so hard, Goku kept getting numb hands. Goku used his Kamehameha to blow his head and a little bit of his clothes off. Metallic went after him again for one more attack, but his energy ran out before he could finish the fight. Goku just left him there proceeded up the tower. In the manga, his name is Full Metal Jacket.
While he resembles a white man like Arnold Schwarzenegger with purple hair in the original series, he was changed to resemble a black man in The Path to Power.
[edit] Hatchhyack
A machine from the Famicom & PlayDia game, Dragon Ball Z Gaiden: Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans built by Dr. Raichi. His plan was to use Hatchhyack to get revenge on the Saiyans. Hatchhyack is a device powered by the hate of the Tsufurujin. He is first used to generate ghost warriors until he manifests in a powerful android body. Hatchhyack devastated the heroes, until the Super Saiyans all combined their powers together into one massive wave of energy that defeated him, ending the threat of the ghost warriors.
[edit] Giru
Giru (ギル, also known as Gill and Gil) is a small robot that Pan, Trunks and Goku encounter in space. The first thing he did was eat the Dragon Radar, so the others are forced to take him along. He was originally working for Rilldo, and was trying to lure the Saiayns to his planet so Doctor Myū could experiment on them. Giru then realized how good they were to him, especially Pan, and helped to rescue them. He accompanied them back to earth and then took the role of the Dragon Radar, albeit one that can talk. The name Giru is a pun on gear.
[edit] General Rilldo
General Rilldo was the top officer and administrator of "Planet M2," the mechanical world that serves as Dr. Myuu's base of operations. General Rilldo was ordered to bring the Saiyans (Pan, Trunks, and Goku) and the Dragon Balls to Dr. Myuu. He is able to turn beings into metal slates, and merge into metal. He cannot be defeated unless there is no metal in the area. He was later killed by Bebi.
