I"m watching Android saga again right now and there is something I never thought about or cared to think about when I saw it years ago. Trunks comes to the past to save the people there and warn them of the androids. For starters, the androids were different, and then 17 and 18 were released and they were much stronger in this timeline than in trunks timeline. How does that make sense? Why was so much different? Why was Dr. Gero an android and he had 19 with him, and why were 17 and 18 so much weaker in his timeline in the future? |

There's really no answer to this. It's simply a result of the shifting time continuum. Goku also got his heart ailment later than Trunks originally predicted, and didn't get sick prior to the arrival of the Andoids, but during. Gero turned himself into Jinzenogen 20, and created 19, who never existed in the original time continuum (Trunks's time). 16 also never existed in the original time continuum, but that could be explained by Goku not get sick and dying at the time that he did originally. Gero might have actually created him in Trunks's time, but since 16's purpose was to kill Goku, Goku's death from the heart ailment could've resulted in 16 never being activated or even known about. If I'm not mistaken, Cell (originating from the third time continuum) also arrived a year prior to Freeza arrival, which doesn't make sense considering that Trunks already had the Time Machine set for the time of Freeza's arrival. |

My theory regarding the androids is this: Gero must've ascertained that Goku had died to the heart virus in Future Trunks's timeline. As a result of his most formidable enemy no longer being a threat, Gero switches gears from revenge to just world domination. He downgrades 17 and 18's power in order to make them safer to command. The revisory process takes its painful toll on the androids; the pain of the surgery and the anger toward their captor makes them abandon their remnant principles to become cold-blooded killers. Gero, confident in his revisions to 17 and 18's power, releases them to destroy cities. Upon doing so, 17 and 18 rush out to immediately decapitate Gero and blow up the lab including the encased 16. |

Gero just built better robots in the present timeline. Must have been in a good mood or something. |

Wasn't it stated that Gero kept putting limiters on 17 and 18 versus in the present he didn't put as many due to working on more Androids.? |

No just implied. Its implied he didn't do spend as much time on the present ones. He had to take care of 16, 19, and his won conversion in the main timeline. In doing so it can be assumed he didn't spend all his time experimenting on 17 and 18 thus them not being cold hearted when they were activated. Present 17 says at first that they would kill Goku because its what 16 wanted, but when Krillin questions him he says this is all just a game. 18 even asks Vegeta is Goku stronger. They then tell Krillin to tell the others get stronger so they can all have another fight for fun. There's also no shot future 17 and 18 fight fair like the present ones or let them eat senzu beans, let alone 18 make sure the cops aren't killed. Its basically implied and accepted as the explanation for the power increase of 17 and 18 as well as their attitudes. Gero just was too busy |
