Android #16

Android #16 was Goku's assassin, built by Dr. Gero. Android #16 is a silent giant of enormous strength. In battle, when he is winning, he keeps sight of his objective and remains lethal and clearheaded; he does not let himself get overconfident. When he says something, it is likely to be factual and worthwhile. When losing a battle, he gives his hardest and tries to complete his objective, even at the cost of his own life. These qualities and traits make him seem almost heroic. In fact, his desire to save the planet and override his programming to kill Goku reminds the viewer of Goku's own saintly efforts! In the end, he attempts to sacrifice himself by detonating and destroying Cell. It would have worked, had Bulma not removed his detonator. Unfortunately, the DBZ characters appear to make no efforts to bring him back.

How to Get Him:

Dragon Balls or a similar revival method.

Starting Level:

45; very experienced and powerful (6,500,000).

Abilities:

Blasts: Android #16's blasts are usually done by taking off his forearms and releasing energy.

Information: Android #16 has all the possible data on Goku and several other pieces of useful information.

Power Level Detection: Android #16 had the power to detect power levels.

Self-Destruct: Andorid #16 is armed with a self-destruct of nuclear power! Despite Perfect Cell's whopping power level of 25,000,000, Android #16 ensures Cell that he would not survive the blast. Keep this for rare occassions. Duels are excellent times. It might be worth it to use it in the battle against the All-Monster, but reviving Android #16 after such death is quite difficult.

Equipment:

Clothes: Android #16's personal clothes are not casual like #17 and #18's, but a bit more formal. The Red Ribbon army logo is displayed proudly on the front.
