I was wondering if you could maybe enlighten why the Future Androids were so bent on destroying mankind. It's something that's kind of always puzzled me, especially when the Present Day Androids just really wanted to live normal lives and only hunted Goku because they were forcibly programmed to do so.
Well, it’s interesting: one of Toriyama’s notes actually indicated that one reason 18 was made a bit weaker than 17 was the belief this would make her easier to control, to “program”, as it were.And given the fact that Trunks revealed that 17 and 18 are far, far stronger than they were in his timeline, I kinda think it might just be that Gero... was actually right and that in the future he successfully overrode their personalities with his directive. Unfortunately, with Goku dead, his directive switched to subduing humanity, and... well, Gero was kind of human, and the first one they saw after being ordered to kill them. lol smart dudes are so dumb
