C19
This replica of a chinese porcelain doll was Dr. Gero's partner when they first arrived to an island in the North trying to draw Goku's attention. He was quite powerful, and had the abbility to absorb energy from people of their ki attacks thru the holesin his palms. He fights Goku and beats the crap out of him, because during this fight Goku's heart desease started to kick in. Just when he was about to kill Goku, Vegeta came to the rescue. Vegeta destroys him easily, pulling off his hands and then exploding him with a Big Bang Attack.
The Red Ribbon's Army malevolent scientist and creator of the Androids wa s the enemy that gave Goku the hardest time of all all thru the DB timeline. His hate for Goku can be traced waaay back, when Goku single-handedly destroyed the Red Ribbon Army. Believed dead, Dr. Gero continued his evil experiments to create super powerful warrioirs for world domination. Realizing he was old and weak, and after being seriously injured by 17 and 18, he made C19 transfer his brain to the body of a robot, thus enabling him to fight Goku himslef and take revenge for the downfall of the Red Ribbon Army. He almost killed Yamcha in his first battle with the Z-senshi. Piccolo then rips off his arm, because he was also able to absorb energy from the palms of his hands. Dr. Gero ran away to his laboratory to wake up his back up plan, androids 17 and 18. Once again, the androids rebel against him and kill him. He goes straight to Hell, and in Dragon Ball GT he creates, with the aid of alien scientist Dr. Myuu, a replica of C17,. He is betrayed by Myuu and dies again. Dr. Gero/C20
C 17

C17 was the second strongest android Dr Gero created. C17 is organic tissue on a mechanical frame, so he can create ki blasts and barriers. Even so, he trusts his physical strenght rathe rthan his ki. He is as strong as Piccolo/Kamisama before training in the Room of Time and Space, but still nothing compared to the fully powered Cell 1. C17 is a really arrogant guy, so he drops his guard against Cell and is quickly absorbed, enabling Cell to reach stage 2. Once Cell is destroyed, C17 was wished back to life with the Dragon Balls and retires to live alone in the woods. In Dragon Ball GT, he fuses with his replica and becomes Super 17.
