"What is Dr. Gero... doing?"
The laboratory Krillin saw was filled with human corpses, machinery, and completed laboratory guards. Their upper bodies were human, while their lower bodies were tracks. It was incredibly bizarre.
Yamcha frowned as well. Thinking of the laboratory guards Dr. Gero had turned into neither human nor ghost, they looked absolutely terrifying.
"The fusion of humans and machinery—Androids," He-El said as he piloted the fighter jet. "From the records at Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, I saw that the Red Ribbon Army's scientific team has already made progress. At Muscle Tower, the Red Ribbon Army branch in Jingle Village, there is a successful model: Android 8.
Dr. Gero is desperate to create even more powerful Androids, researching at any cost."
Android 8 was actually already a perfect finished product, but he did not fit Dr. Gero's ambitions.

Dr. Gero considered him a defective product with terrible character. Though he had succeeded, he was useless, so Android 8 had been thrown into Muscle Tower and placed under confinement.
However, Dr. Flappe from the Red Ribbon Army's scientific team did not see it that way. Dr. Flappe believed Android 8 possessed a rare kind nature and was a very successful Android.
Because of this, disagreements arose among the Red Ribbon Army scientists. Dr. Flappe was especially dissatisfied with Dr. Gero's authoritarianism and resented how he only wanted to create immensely powerful Androids, losing sight of the true essence of scientific research.
After their conflict, Dr. Flappe left the scientific team led by Dr. Gero and moved to Jingle Village near Muscle Tower.
Not long ago, Goku had destroyed Muscle
