You're talking about that fighter you said was as strong as 17?

I am.

It's like I said. What you're detecting is impossible. Your sensors are going to have to be recalibrated and that's all there is to it. No one is as strong as I am.
You see, the powers of Vegeta, Goku, Frieza, and so many others have already been incorporated into my being. But even these powers pale in comparison to the strength of the androids. It is this strength which I must possess for myself.
This is true. But my design was meant to include the powers of Androids 17 and 18. Without them I can never be complete. I had to seek them out. It's what I was created to do. Of course, it may also be the blood of Vegeta and Frieza coursing through my veins which fuels my desire for more power.
