    The English translation is wrong, Gero, 17 and 18 are cyborgs, not androids.

    They’re originally humans, who were turned into robots, while 16 and 19 were fully robotic androids (and use a different word in Japanese, I believe?)

    So 18 must’ve had her babymaker intact, maybe that’s where Gero put the bomb that Krillin wished away.

    And then there’s Pluto, by Naoki Urasawa, which is what would happen if Philip K. Dick decided to write an Astro Boy story.

    (It’s a reinterpretation of “The Greatest Robot on Earth”, and was supervised by Tezuka’s son, 100% worth a read)
