Android 7 (人造人間 7 号-Homunkurusu 7-gō) was the 8th Android creation (7th numerically since the creation of Android 0) of Dr. Gero (assisted by Dr. Flappe) and part of the 1st generation of Red Ribbon prototype androids, that being 1-8. Android 7 was designed to serve the Red Ribbon Army but was seen as mostly a failure because of a few debilitating flaws.
Appearance[]
Like most of the 1st generation of Androids, Android 7 was not humanoid in appearance but rather more robotic like. Android 7 is by far the largest of all Gero's androids, even much bulkier and taller than Android 16 with a commanding height of 12 feet and width of about 6 feet. With a mostly (and unusually) strong metallic armored body along with it's bulky, blocky and all around gigantic appearance, Android 7 is very intimidating and stands out more so than most other androids. Android 7's unusually large and octagon shaped torso is perhaps it's most prominent feature while also having a very small capsule shaped head that seems to float over a octagon shaped collar that appears to be it's unattached neck. Android 7's optic is thin and extrudes inward into the head and circles completely around it, allowing Android 7 to view all around it. Androids 7's vision optic is usually blank with a white light omitting, but when expressing it'self it uses a various series of dual glyphs (Ex: two straight lines is bored, two dots is surprised, two curved lines means happy and two upside down curved lines means sad, and that's to name some). About every part of Android 7 is octagon shaped. It's armor is red in color almost every where on it's body with a few white here and there. A solid white metallic sash goes left diagonally over and around it's torso with the Red Ribbon Army Insignia engraved on the left hand corner of the sash. A med-kit is also attached to the sash in it's left shoulder. Like the earlier droids, it also has a number imprinted on it, which that being the number "7" which is imprinted on the upper right part of the torso. Android 7 also has a white belt/joint like device that seems to connect it's torso to it's mobility system, a mobility system that also seems to have a belt like device wrapping around the middle. Android 7's mobility system allows it to sort of hover around since Android 7 appears to not have humanoid legs. Android 7 is also able to move both it's torso and mobility system 180 degrees like a Rubik's cube, making it more versatile. The lower part of the mobility device is where the vents are that omit the air that allows Android 7 to hover and move around. Androids 7's upper arms are very large and also octagon shaped with a few vents on both tops with it's center part extruding into it's center. Another white belt/joint like device connects it's upper arms to the lower parts of the arms, arms of which differ from it's opposite side. The right lower arm is a giant hand that isn't very flexible, while is able to grip objects, but is mostly in it's fist form. The right belt/joint part also has a smaller med-kit attached to it. The left lower arm is a Arm Gun that seems to be Android 7's main source of attack.
Personality[]
Like Android 1, Android 8 and Android 16, Android 7 is a very gentile giant and peaceful/non aggressive in nature. Also like Android 16, Android 7 speaks with a very computer like etiquette being as precise and direct as possible. Another exceptional/unique feature to Android 7 is the various voices it uses depending on the circumstances. A calm robotic like voice is mostly used since it is mostly peaceful. A lower pitched more serious sounding robotic voice is used when it's defending something or someone. Android 7 can also emit certain various distinguishable sounds instead of voice. When also expressing itself, Android 7 uses a various series of dual glyphs on it's optic (Ex: two straight lines is bored, two dots is surprised, two curved lines means happy and two upside down curved lines means sad, and that's to name some). Originally, Android 7 was a Medic Droid so healing is engraved in it's programming and by nature will always help humans rather than battle or harm them. However, to Gero's dismay, that Medic Droid programming always interfered and overruled the aggressive/combat programming Dr. Gero tried to give it, and would do so no matter how many times Gero would attempt to change it. Android 7's peaceful nature was perhaps it's biggest failure according to Dr. Gero. While being the most accomplished Android of the 1st generation, it's non aggressive attitude was detrimental to The Red Ribbon Army's cause, rending it essentially useless to The Red Ribbon Army's ambition of World Domination. Despite Android 7 having a non aggressive nature, it was not completely without aggression. Perhaps it's most noticeable action was it's "Defense Mode". Innocence and beings it considered friends and even objects it was told to defend (commands of which must be given by friends) were the Defense Mode's objective. Android 7, when in defense mode, will eliminate any target it deems a threat to what it's defending with no hesitation or remorse. It will not harm humans willfully but will destroy other androids, robots and any other form of artificial life it deems a threat.
Biography[]
Creation[]
Android 7 in Red Ribbon Laboratory.
According to the special "Memoirs of a Madman" originally, Android 7 was a Medic Droid for The Red Ribbon Army, but before the bulky appearance and other modification Gero gave it, the Medic Droid had a noticeably slender, smaller and non threatening crash dummy like appearance. The Medic Droids were also very obedient and efficient, so Gero and Dr. Flappe had concluded that it's obedience and efficiency would make for a suitable soldier for battle. Gero found a random spare Medic Droid and then modified most of the droids body making it powerful and more suited for combat, while also being able to heal soldiers of the army swiftly during combat. Gero also decided to keep the original head since it had the ability to detach and hover around and release a flash of light that healed everyone in a certain radius. Dr. Gero had high hopes for this particular android because of it's near utilitarian usage and physical power. Gero made the android a red giant because he wanted the enemy to be intimidated by it's appearance, throwing the enemy off. Gero also had planned to make an army of this android, that being if it was successful. After physical construction of Android 7, Gero had to program it to his will. Gero had an idea to create a "Offense Mode" and a "Defense Mode" for it's programming seeing as the original medic droids had no combat skills or basically any other skill, besides Medical skills, within its programming. Android 7 proved to be extremely useful and lethal when in defense mode defending Gero from practice enemy droids, but when it came to it's offense mode, the Medic Droid programming it originally had would somehow always interfere and cancel out the aggressive programming Gero tried to give it. It was observed by Gero that the Offense Mode was only activated when Defense Mode was activated and that Offense Mode was exclusively controlled by the android itself, giving it freedom of choice and it would not chose to harm any humans in any lethal way and when it did harm humans (when it had no choice), it would heal them all after all were eliminated as a threat, to Dr. Gero's frustration. It only would willfully destroy forms of artificial life. After Gero's final attempt to control it's "Offense Mode" completely had failed, Gero had given up and initially decided to scrap the android at first seeing as it would only engage in combat when in Defense Mode and would not harm humans. Then, however, Gero thought Android 7's strength and knowledge of anatomy might be able to help him with creating more androids, specifically Gero's first attempt at a completely humanoid android, that being Android 8. Gero decided to use Android 7 for just that and then deactivate it after.
Goku Attacks the Red Ribbon Army[]
According to the special's "Red Ribbon Revenge" and "Memoirs of a Madman", Dr. Gero was given urgent orders from the Red Ribbon Army Central Command to send an unfinished Android 8 to Muscle Tower with Dr. Flappe. Gero warned command that the Android was not finished and might not function as intended but was urged by command that Dr. Flappe will continue to work on the android at the makeshift lab at Muscle Tower. Gero was then subsequently ordered by the leader of the Red Ribbon Army himself, Commander Red, to stay behind at the Red Ribbon Headquarters to help repair battle droids and tend wounded soldiers after a heavy loss the Red Ribbon Army had suffered from an unknown enemy. Gero also ordered Android 7 and Android 0 to tend to the wounded soldiers and repair battle droids along side him. After a day of the repairs, Gero decided not to deactivate Android 7 since it was of use to the Red Ribbon Army (And was ordered by Commander Red to keep the Android around after Commander Red had seen it's healing abilities anyway). One week later and one day during repairs, Goku had attacked the Red Ribbon Command Center. Surprised by this and distraught that this child could have possibly destroyed Android 8 and Dr. Flappe, Gero at last minute gave Android 7 orders to help soldiers in need while he flees to find a new lab. Android 7 followed the orders until the battle was over and all remaining soldiers were healed. After the battle Androids 7's batteries drained completely and went to it's charging bay. Feeling useless after it's final mission was complete, Android 7 decided to shutdown completely at it's charging bay and remained there for years until Pan and Bulla went to explore the ruins of the Red Ribbon Army's former Command Center and accidently activated the other 1st generation androids.
Red Ribbon Revenge[]
In the special "Red Ribbon Revenge", Pan and Bulla were exploring the ruins of an abandoned base. They, however, were not aware of the abandoned base being the Red Ribbon Army's and re-activated the scrapped androids created by Dr. Gero. Androids 1-7 were re-activated when Bulla accidently elbowed the activation switch after being scared by a giant cockroach while failing to find a cell phone signal. Android 7 was the last to be re-activated while Pan and Bulla were ambushed and then battled by Android 2 and Android 3. After noticing Pan and Bulla struggling with the androids, Android 7 then went to Bullas rescue after charging at and damaging Android 3 since she was closer. After Android 3 was disabled for a time, Bulla then thanked Android 7 and then went to Pans aid while she was fighting Android 2. After fighting and then eventually disabling Android 2, They all went away to retreat from the base by recommendation of Android 7 but not long after were ambushed by Android 4 and Android 5. After a quick skirmish with the two androids, the three retreat to s safe location recommended by Android 7. Android 7 gives a brief history of The Red Ribbon Army and Dr. Gero and the first generation of Androids created by him. After the exposition, Pan says she vaguely remembers her Grandfather, Goku, telling her the story of how he once defeated a whole army and that he was probably referring to The Red Ribbon Army. Android 7 confirms that a very young and very powerful boy was the one who destroyed the base and voices his displeasure of the site of death and agony everywhere and how much of a big mess the boy had made for him to clean. Android 7 then revealed that he cannot simply destroy these particular Androids because of the "Family Chip" with in it's matrix core and that all of these other androids have that same chip. So they then try to devise a plan to deactivate and disable all the androids without destroying them. While devising a plan, they are startled by a thumping noise in the ceiling of the garage they were in. A black figure appears and falls onto Android 7 and is revealed to be Android 1. After Pan tried to attack it, Android 7 intervenes and stops her and says that Android 1 is peaceful just like him. Annoyed by Android 1's child like behavior Bulla tells him to not annoy her any further or she will take him home and force him to have a very girly tea party with her. Android 1 reminds 7 of the main computer and how it's still working. So they decide to use that to their advantage and while Bulla and Android 1 go to locate the main computer, Android 7 and Pan will go to distract the remaining androids. Pan asks 7 if it would like another name besides boring old "Android 7" and while 7 was okay with being named that, Pan decided she will call him "Big Red" with 7's approval. While walking down a corridor, they were again ambushed but by Android 6 this time. Knowing Android 6 can inflict more damage potentially than the other Androids because of it's arsenal of attacks, Android 7 throws Pan far away and fights with Android 6. After disabling Android 6 with some difficulty, Pan arrives back and they then go look for a station to repair Android 7. Pan admit's she knows nothing of repairing machines or anything about machines but Android 7 calms her and tell her that he can do it himself and all she needs to do is help Android 7 find certain parts and implements to help repair itself. After the repairs they run down a very dark corridor and Pan bumps into something hard which turns out to be Android 0. before she tries to attack, Android 7 reminds pan that Android 0 is another non aggressive android but is sensing that Android 0 is not itself since it is lumbering everywhere and crashing into things. Android 7 sees that Android 0's ram chip is a little shorted. Knowing how Android 0 has the most information about The main computer and how similar both of their programming are, Android 7 tells Pan to bring 0 to the main computer where Bulla had just found after she radioed Pan. Pan tells Android 7 not to go by himself but Android 7 tells Pan not to worry about it as it's much stronger than all of the other Androids and will be a better fighter alone. After Android 7 confronts and tries and fails to talk the other android out of fighting, a fight ensues and after a semi lengthily battle, Pan arrives with Android 1 and they help Android 7 and as the battle is continuing, Bulla uses Android 0's ability to shutdown all the androids via the main computer and they send a EMP wave that disables all the androids including Android 7. Fearing Android 7 was destroyed because they couldn't find a way to re-activate it, Pan and Bulla finally find a cell phone signal and then call Bulma and explain to her what happened and ask her if she can help escort Android 7 to their house to turn him back on. After hours of trying, Bulma was eventually successful at turning Android 7 back on. After Android 7 thanked her for turning it back on Bulma told it that she should be thanking him for saving Bull and Pan and it was the least she can do. Android 7 then asked he if she was wiling to do more for him as he wanted the other Androids to be turned back on and have their programing changed to being similar to Android 7's own since he considered the other androids family and didnt want to abandon them like Gero did. Bulma agrees since she sees it might be a fun challenge and said she also vowed years ago to undo everything that creep Dr. Gero has done anyway to prove her superiority. After reprograming most of the androids except 1 and 0, Bulma decided to upgrade them and keep them at Capsule Corp as most of them were animal like and Dr.Brief grew quite fond of them and Bulla wanted to keep Android 1 as a doll for tea parties much to the androids dismay. As for Android 7, Bulma decided to use the android as a personal security guard for Capsule Corp as she thought they would need something like that around whenever Vegeta and/or Trunks weren't around. When not at Capsule Corp, Android 7 is considered a city hero as it flies around helping people and has it's own Ambulance service, saving many lives (including animals) everyday.
Power & Flaws[]
With a base power level of 200, Android 7 proved to be Dr. Gero's most powerful overall 1st generation android by far having high strengths in almost all categories: Physical Power, Fire Power, Armor and Speed. While being bulky and 12 feet tall, it seemed to move somewhat more swiftly than it looked. Android 7 also had very good aim compared to other androids as it is able to shoot from afar and efficient without any effort. However, with all of those great assets, it's major almost detrimental flaw was it's charge. The energy usage of this unit was very high causing the battery to drain and having to charge very often. This is a flaw that Gero intended to fix as a finishing touch, which he had planned to do this with all of this creations, and would've been able to, but after the combat programming ultimately failed, Gero decided it was not a priority to fix that issue. According to Gero the biggest flaw, even more than the battery issue was the fact that it wouldn't willingly attack anyone, which was a huge detriment to The Red Ribbon Army. There are other minor flaws, such as it's lack of martial arts (while at this point Gero didn't have the forethought to add martial arts to any of the 1st generation androids programming seeing as it was a military conquest the Red Ribbon Army was doing). Android 7's finisher is called "The Red Eye". Android 7 uses The Red Eye by shooting a giant form of Quantum Singularity that magnifies the gravity, vacuuming in nearby opponents from a far distance causing a greater explosion when opponent hits the core. Bulma's upgrades made Android 7's power level go from 200 to 200,000,000 (much to Vegeta's dismay) and added a plethora of techniques and abilities to the androids arsenal. Android 7 also has a hypothetical super form, Super Android 7.
