Form Change[2] (形態変化 Keitai Henka) is a special ability of Cell. He powers up by changing his form through the absorption of the Androids 17 and 18.
Overview[]
By absorbing one of the Androids, Imperfect Cell will change into Semi-Perfect Cell, and then by absorbing the other Android, he will change into Perfect Cell. While Cell's initial appearance is bug-like, absorbing the Androids causes him to gain a more humanoid form, causing his wings to vanish. After reaching his Perfect Form, he attains his perfect speed, strength, and other traits. He also regains his wings in this form.
Video Game Appearances[]
Form Change appears in most video games that Cell appears in, as his transformation method.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse, in Age 785 Future Cell is able to absorb Future Android 17 and Future Android 18 to achieve his Perfect Form before Future Trunks returns from the past as part of Towa's plan to wipe Time Patrol Trunks from history by making two alterations to the past of Time Patrol Trunks' timeline. However Villainous Mode Perfect Future Cell is defeated by Future Trunks with assistance from the Future Warrior restoring the timeline as the future Androids were eliminated via Future Cell's destruction.
In Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, Age 785 is altered again leading to Future Cell achieving his Perfect Form like he had in the previous altered future timeline, though this time Towa sends a repaired Future Android 16 to assist Future Cell. However, both Androids are defeated by Future Trunks and 2nd Future Warrior restoring the timeline (though Chronoa left in some minor alterations to Age 780 that involved Time Patrol Trunks saving Future Gohan from Mira though ended with Future Gohan choosing to sacrifice himself knowing that his student would ultimately defeat the Androids).
In Dragon Ball Legends during the Tournament of Time, Dr. Gero creates New Cell using genes collected from the tournament participants from various eras (which includes Shallot, Nappa, Cabba, Captain Ginyu, and Frost in addition to the genetic makeup of the original Cell). As a result, New Cell can utilize Form Change by absorbing an incarnation of Android 17 and Android 18.
