Why is it that he did not put his efforts into making himself an indestructible fighting machine? Instead, he put his ability into other creations that he'd (hope to) order around.

I don't buy that lol..

Everyone here knows the real answer is plot, the real answer as to why anyone does anything in any fictional story is plot. People like to discuss things from an in-universe point of view, which is kind of the point of discussing a series. If everything was answered with plot then discussion would just die.

There's absolutely no reason why Dr. Gero would not make himself the strongest and employ other "robots" when he could just make himself strong. He would at least make himself stronger than he DID in the story, but why didn't he? There's no answer to that question. Using logic you can deduct this. He created androids out of HUMANS. He was a human too. If he can make 17 and 18 so strong, there's no logical reason why he can't do it to himself. Tell me that's not 100% plot.

Well its plot wise mostly but he was very aged in my opinion to make himshelf an actual super strong android its not like he could do much in my opinion he reached as much power as he could possible do and then added some good abilities as well

For all we know, he might have decided to switch from being an energy absorption type to infinite energy once he solved whatever problems he found in infinite energy types.
