Working on some suggestions regarding possible upgrades for Androids. Looking for feedback on how to make these work.
Built-In Scanners — Androids can opt to have their scouters build into their bodies.
>dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/3D_Scan_Mode
Propulsion Engines / Jets — Androids can take a more mechanical approach to flight — and this is it. This flight exudes no ki, as long as it is of mechanical nature.
>dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Hikou
Built-in Weapons — Some species have durability or longevity through heartiness or regeneration. Androids don't have these features, but some of them choose to double down on their inate ability to exterminate. Androids are able to build weapons. These provide a discount of X for up to Y techniques; cannot be used on Ultimates.
>dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Hell%27s_Storm
Absorber Modules — By spending X Z-Points an android is able to get state of the art energy absorbers implanted into their systems. This allows the user to absorb a free 'Moderate' [Energy] or [Special Energy] attack per thread. Gives the android one extra stamina point.
>dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Energy_Absorption
Overclocking — Through the hefty investment of X Z-Points, Androids are able to overclock their systems. This adds the ability to increase the level increase of their transformations by a factor of +3, but every subsequent use of this feature lowers that factor by 1. Y Z-Points are used to fully replenish this feature back up to the maximum capacity of +3.
Self-Destruction — The ultimate fail safe — consciously or unconsciously placed within the body of a cybernetic unit. The kind of payload carried does not come cheap. When Self-Destruct parameters are carried out, this results in an explosive meltdown of the Android's systems. This hits as an +200 Level Modifier, split by however many targets it hits (Hits everyone in thread; targets cannot be chosen). This causes an Android to perish at the blast. (Stamina cost?) Costs X Z-Points.

Edit: Good points made that the three crossed-out suggestions could simply be reflavored.
Note made that Overclocking isn't given canon basis. However, there certainly are different kinds of androids — two; absorbers and infinite energy.
Proposal:
Absorbers: once per thread gain +2 stamina is an energy / sp. enegy attack is blocked.
^ Inspired by bruiser specialization (and how Demons get a Weapon Specialist-inspired trait)
Infinite Energy: Passive +10 ki (or something else?) modifier?
^ inspired by Majin third bonus
And, you know, you'd have to pick between the two.
