The Weekly ☆ Character Showcase is an article series where we introduce one character from the Dragon Ball universe each week. This time we'll be sizing up the abominable Android 14 from the "Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13!" movie!
Android 14 is one of the Androids created by Dr. Gero's supercomputer in his stead after he was destroyed.
Being that Gero intended to use 14 to eliminate his arch nemesis, Goku, the hulking Android is loaded up with as much of his battle data as the doctor could collect.
A machine of few words, in the original Japanese version he utters not a single word other than the name of his target: "Son Goku".
He and his mechanical counterpart, Android 15, attacked a city in their mission to locate Goku, who they found to be eating lunch in a department store.
Goku and Trunks then led the two Androids away from the city to a glacier to continue their battle.
Thanks to their link to Dr. Gero's supercomputer, 14 and 15 were able to calculate Goku and Trunks' next moves and work perfectly in sync together to pick them apart.
Android 14 then dueled Trunks one-on-one and looked to be too much for the young warrior to handle! However, Trunks then transformed into a Super Saiyan and sliced 14 clean in half with his sword.
After his destruction, Android 14's combat data and energy reactor were absorbed into Android 13.

Analysis
Android 14 maintains a direct link with Dr. Gero's supercomputer, allowing him to analyze Goku and the others' battle data on the fly.
By predicting his opponents' next move, he manages to stay one step ahead during their fights.
Android 14 possesses monstrous strength!
When Trunks attempted to swing his sword down upon 14, all it took was a mere two fingers for him to catch the blade! He then proceeded to lift trunks into the air like he was a bag of feathers, showing off his incredible power.
