Here's a dumb... Possibly good idea for a story..
Android 17 in DISPATCH
Think about it, his Backstory could remain the same and his turning point came when the original Mecha Man beat him and put him in stasis lock, he gets reactivated by SDN as part of the phoenix program and put in Z-team
The downsides with him being in the team is that he will be perpetually in the bottom place instead of Invisigal, due to his prolonged stasis he has became lazy and would absolutely refuse an order unless presented with an insentive.
When he learns that Robert is the Mecha man of this generation, he begins to become active under his command and would slowly rise up the leader board leading to either Sonar or Coupe getting cut from the team...
It's weird cause this came to me after I watched the Android saga and then played Dispatch....
Someone more talented should make this
