So did anyone have any hypothesis on why Gero didn't just make his own body an infinite energy model comparable to 17? The implication give was 19 was made an energy absorber to be more controllable, but they are weaker than the 17 and 18 models and if Gero was just putting his brain in an Android then why wouldn't he want the strongest? My only guess is he needed very specific resources, and he didn't have any left after making 16-18, or it takes longer and he was impatient and figured the body he used would suffice/if he was closer to 17 rather than 16 then it might incentivize cell into eating him.
Or did he just like to be cucked by his own creations?
