Something I thought about after looking through some Dragon Ball fan art and been reminded of this rather "unique" meshing of movie villains - showing a "Meta-Dr. Wheelo" (although he admittedly looks less like a giant Xenomorph and more like a giant metal frog with a long tail here, but the design is still pretty neat):

- As for the story, we'd treat The World's Strongest as canon; altering the events beforehand so that Goku let go of Raditz at the last second, with him thus avoiding getting skewered by Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon. Thanks to Kami, Goku is transported to King Yemma so he could run up Snake Way and train with King Kai for the approaching Saiyan threat, with Piccolo stealing Gohan to train him while Goku is away.
As such, there's no need to use the Dragon Balls to revive Goku here, with the Z-Fighters gathering to fight the Saibamen before fighting Nappa and Vegeta. Yamcha, Tien and Chiaotzu sadly still die but - with Kami reminding King Kai about factoring in the time needed for Goku to run back along Snake Way - Goku makes it back just in time and deflects the attack Nappa fired at Gohan which Piccolo then tried to block; saving both his son and Piccolo as a result.
Goku then defeats Nappa - who is killed by Vegeta - and the rest of the Saga plays out similarly, with Vegeta been defeated and Goku allowing him to flee Earth.
- However, the Dragon Balls that Bulma gathered are later stolen by Dr. Kochin, who uses the wish to unfreeze Dr. Wheelo's Lair - the events of The World's Strongest then playing mostly the same up until Goku uses his Kaio-ken enhanced Kamehameha to blast Dr. Wheelo up into space: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEwUHiXuLWY
- However, rather than trying to angrily destroy the Earth as he did in the original, Dr. Wheelo - seeing the damaged state he's in with his arm broken off and his brain casing cracked - decides to leave and try to steal Goku's body another time; using his power to fly off into space.
As a result of drifting around for a few years (long enough for the Namek Saga to wrap up, Goku to return to Earth and the training for the Androids to begin), he eventually encounters the Big Gete Star; been absorbed into it before taking control of it and using it to enhance his own body while making multiple copies of himself (like Cooler did in The Return of Cooler).
So, with Dr. Wheelo now merged with the Big Gete Star and it only been a matter of time before he attempts to get his revenge (and possibly still try to steal Goku's body for himself/create a "Metal Super Saiyan" version as an alternative), how do you think this would play out?
Curious to see what you guys think.
