This one's like a more accurate representation of if Goku was raised by the Red Ribbon Army. Yet I may have another variation of this idea if he willingly Joined the Red Ribbon Army: if the Red Ribbon Army created the dragon radar first Colonel silver and violet wood be searching and running into Goku first finding the Dragon Balls across the world thinking that red ribbon is helping. In this story Goku would have a Krillin like friendship with Silver, a clever girl companion with Violet, a kind-hearted scientist being Dr. Malga (Human Android 21), and a mentor of Commander Red with Tao Pai Pai as a brutal substitute teacher. Rise of the Red Ribbon Saiyan!

[@RatedRMario21]

Since we established cyborg Goku ages more slowly I'm curious as to how this would affect Gohan. I'd like to see a part 2 where Krillin joins the fight against Raditz since he didn't die here. It would be interesting if Raditz kills Krillin and trains with King Kai

[@evileye8680]

I think it didn't affect Gohan bc Goku slow ageing is mechanical upgrade and not biological

[@yamahakid450f]

If Goku is still able to blow loads, then it won't do anything to Gohan... Semen can't pass on anything mechanical, just his original Sayian DNA makeup lol. Gohan would be a normal half sayian like in the normal timeline, just like how 18 and krillins child is fully human, only stronger than the average human thanks to her dad.. Why would you think it it'd change him? Did you think the androids self destruct bomb or the unlimited energy generator would somehow pass on to Gohan or something? That'd rip his dick In half on the way out... which would make me feel just as bad for Chi-Chi in that scenario, talk about her getting 'filled up', Jesus. Goku will long outlive his family as long as he isn't killed.

[@tomsky4751]

[@ianthecoolthief6226]

Since he can now absorb energy and he'd likely have Bulma finish Dr. Gero's Infinity engine in him, and the fact that he has practically infinite stamina now means that he would have a much better time against Beerus. He'd still lose, but he could drain some of Beerus' power without worrying about doing it so much as to go full capacity since he has unlimited energy as well, and he could outlast Beerus to the point that he'd need to go full power to put him down.

[@tsukiche5939]

Hey SmugStick, great video! Just wanted to know: does Goku have an infinite energy engine, or a prototype of that? Since he doesn't have ki he must run on something else, right? Gosh, how will Raditz find him if he doesn't have a ki signature?

[@SmugStick]

Man Yes he has a less stable version of the system in 17&18. Dr Briefs and Bulma will work on it to make it more stable. Can scouters read the power of Androids? He would probably just go after Krillin who is the third strongest around and find Goku through him. I’m glad you enjoyed it, be sure to share!

[@AhmedHussain-ju6xd]

They could use the dragon balls to make people forget about cyborg Goku. Or replace his memory with another random Android.

[@godsgem8345]

My android would be Android 25. His most fierce power would be to duplicate himself into two Android 25s and also have the ability to turn himself into his opponent. So for example, if he fought Vegeta let's say, he would be Vegeta but not one Vegeta...as many Vegeta's he choose to duplicate. He wouldn't have any Ki of course yet when does duplicate himself, his doppelgangers would have the same power level but the original would be a little more powerful than the others.

[@devilfromhell8546]

Cyborg/Android or not, he was still Goku and Chi Chi still loved him with all her heart... and have him keep his promise to marry her no matter what. A strange five years ahead. Gohan or no Gohan... which is an even scarier thought than Cyborg/Android Goku.

(Third Tier) Goku had achieved a new power boost with the aid of Korin, which pushed him to the limits of an Enhanced Human. With this power he aimed to take on the entire Red Ribbon army and so he attacked. Goku (Enhanced Human): 0.7 -CP: 7 Red Ribbon Soldiers (Primary Omnivore/Febu): 0.075-0.08 -Combat Potency: 0.75-0.8 Defense Systems (3ft Bow Casters/Omnivore Crafted): 0.15 -CP: 1.5 Traveling in a straight line the bow casters arrows could not keep up with Goku's movements, but whenever they were maned by gunners and aimed ahead of his movements, Goku needed to make split second adjustments. He suppressed himself to do so as his reaction speed though somewhat faster than his thought speed, would eventually cause him to lose control of his movements. Due to this, Goku used his nimbus that would enable him to move at high speeds. Nimbus (Vegan Crafted Craft): 0.6 -CP: 6 With it he traveled at 100 mph and smashed the defense systems with his Power Pole. Power Pole (Hardened Novice Witch Craft Weapon): 0.3 -CP: 3 The Weapon had with it an enchantment that allowed for it to extend to a certain limit at the power level of the weilders full power strike/run. With it he eventually broke through the unhardened doors of the facility and began attacking everyone he came across. Naturally due to the Rule of Aggression he was suppressed to their power levels when he engaged them but his superior endurance and weaponry always gave him the advantage. Nevertheless, Goku did reach a point where the number of people simply became too much. Somewhere around after defeating 50 humans Goku reached his limit. Goku (At His Limit): 0.03 -CP: 0.3 There were 100 or so more armed personnel in the base. Goku was battered and bleeding from several open wounds. He fell to one knee as the men surrounded him. Just as another stepped up to take him on and deliver a finishing blow. Sirens rung throughout the base. A voice over the intercom informed their defemders that a new threat had appeared and that they were to report to the breeched areas of the base and subdue them. The Febu about to kill Goku ordered them all to leave as he prepared to finish Goku. He told Goku it was smart of him to bring friends but that they were a little too late. He kicked Goku onto his back and prepared to stab him through when something caught his sword. He turned to see a 6ft mechanical woman. Her body completely comprised of a white metallic substance, with tendrils of thick black falling from her head. The Febu pulled his hand away and stepped away from the woman demanding she explain who and where she came from. She stalked inbetween Goku and his assailant. Then she charged him with metallic clawed appearing from her finger tips. Gyro (Machine Queen/Suppressed): 0.08 -CP: 115.2 The Febu went on guard but was quickly overwhelmed by her strange movements and ceaseless barrage of slashes. She slit his throat and he fell holding the wound and bled out. She turned back to Goku to only find that when she had he fell unconscious. (To Be Continued)

I like the idea of new androids but I can't help thinking about what the Dr. would do next.

This may come in handy when Raditz shows up, and the new android 12 could be able to knock the saiyan invader out with a powerful taser gun weapon. Once disabled the Saiyan invaders could be reborn as Android 13, 14 and 15, this time Gero may even decide to keep there tails in order to let them transform in Oozarus.

Not an Android (or Cyborg), but an idea for a Red Ribbon General in training. Currently in a cryo-stasis pod in a Red Ribbon Base, Strega, set to be named Colonel Cyan, is a 13 year old girl who’s mother and father worked for the RR, androids 9 (DBSD) and 10, in fact. Her power or quirk is that she could perfectly mimic fighting styles, attacks, and even blasts of an opponent just by looking at them. She could even mimic biological traits, such as regeneration or, given enough time around say Goku, even Super Saiyan. Because of this potential, she had to have two restrainers on her to limit her powers, though Gero, who created the restrainers, did say it was safe for her to remove one of them, which allows for her to mimic non-blast attacks and styles.

[@adamnakamura8003]

#DBQ by the way.

[@adamnakamura8003]

Realized I never described her. She’s someone I made in Xenoverse 2 so I’ll say what she wore as her first variation (when she first exited the pod. She has white, long hair, purple, round eyes with pupils, a white RR Baseball Uniform with black trim and a red 00 on the back, a blue school uniform skirt with red cloth around the waist, special gloves underneath the restrainers (Single restrainer is Mecha Frieza suit and both off is The Final Form Suit), and Android 20’s boots. Sorry if the appearance is specific, but the design was made with the Xenoverse 2 options in mind.
