Behold a marvel of scientific innovation! Enter the realm of Androids - part machine or full machine entities that seamlessly blend the mechanical with the organic. These formidable fighters possess the remarkable ability to elude Ki sensing, harness energy from their surroundings, and operate with seemingly infinite stamina.
Throughout Dragonball, we see various models of Androids with a variety of technologies. While there are many types, a majority of them follow a few common abilities that will serve as their Grade abilities.
Please note that Machine-Mutants under the likes of Dr. Myuu, Baby, and the Universe 6 Kamin and Oren fall under the 'Bio-Mutants' category.
Strengths
+Androids have unlimited stamina, allowing them to train without pause for weeks.
+Androids do not feel pain on their mechanical parts, ensuring a wrath of cold steel.
+Androids can be given varying specialties with the right modifications at any time.
Weaknesses
-Androids can be disabled or affected by other technologies.
-Androids cannot learn any other types of energy besides the ones they were made to generate. Will require specific IC modifications to sense or produce different kinds of Ki.
-Androids that lose some of their parts will require a technician with enough skill to reconstruct them. This limits their ability to recover from damage.

Ki: Spirit Style
An effective, insidious addition that allows an Android to empower themselves with Ki or energy they may recognize. Their limitations on how much they can withstand will depend on their machinery.
Generally, most Androids can handle energy from more powerful foes, but some more powerful ones may be capable of absorbing power from somebody 4 ranks above them.
An Android intelligent enough may manage to absorb enough energy to grow a full +4 to their base form during a single battle. This is a temporary flux that will gradually diminish with usage.
An overconfident Android can damage their system or risk much worse if they try to absorb energy from attacks that are 5 ranks or more above them.
When the intricate elements of their blueprints are altered, whether by their design or by the hands of a skilled tinkerer, the potential for chaos grows exponentially.
This allows an Android a free extra +2 rank upgrade the first time an Android ascends to a new tier, or it can be split as two +1s across the tier for the first two times they ascend.
The permanent enhancement of an Artificial Being's base form. This remarkable evolution occurs through the absorption of another Artificial Being or their Energy Core, granting the recipient a surge in abilities that transcends their former limits. However, such profound changes are limited to a total of five instances, and it's important to note that an Android of this caliber cannot forcibly absorb a Core that is more powerful than its own.
The physical metamorphosis that accompanies this upgrade results in a complete overhaul of the Android's physique or a complete change in their body hues.
Grade 1 boost equivalent if one Android is weaker than the other.
Grade 2 boost if both Androids are of equal base or a fusion of 3 or more.
Grade 3 boost if it's a fusion of 5 cores.
Base Requirement(s): A Tier.
Behold an extraordinary and formidable enhancement, granting Androids the remarkable ability to harness offensive Ki blasts. This power enables them to channel this energy into strength or vitality -- but also teeters on a grand risk. That unlimited potential will eventually meet limited durability.
Generally, most Androids can handle energy from more powerful foes, but some more powerful ones may be capable of absorbing power from somebody 4 ranks above them.
An Android intelligent enough may manage to absorb enough energy to grow a full +3 to their Base form during a single battle. This is a temporary flux that will gradually diminish with usage and cannot be stored due to cyborgs having fewer machine bits.
When a cyborg pushes their Infinite Energy drive to unleash greater power, it's often driven by a deep-rooted instinct for survival, as they are aware of what it means to 'die.' While Androids typically possess endless stamina, this technique can temporarily hinder the Infinite Energy drive's efficiency, reducing its output. However, some cyborgs can adapt and overcome this limitation through a process known as Adaptation.
Physical appearance could be nothing or cool RGBs, depending on how you want to play it. This temporary boost is a flat +2 increase across all tiers.
Base Requirement: A.
Adaptation: This is when a cyborg's body finds a unique balance with the Infinite Energy Drive, allowing them to fully harness its power and enjoy its advantages.
Allows a free extra +2 rank the first time they hit a new tier and does away with the weakness after using ‘Overdrive.’
In the realm of technological marvels, a fascinating phenomenon occurs when two cyborg-type Androids, similar in hardware, are conjoined through sinister machinations or urgent necessity. This fusion not only intertwines their very essence but also transforms their outward appearance, resulting in a unique amalgamation that reflects the characteristics of both.
Grade 2 Boost from the strongest Base
Base Requirement(s): A Tier
