I mean...it was already super impressive he was able to modify people to the point their power laughably dwarfed the galactic conqueror reigning over the galaxy that he didn't know about and...basically the entire creation of Cell. But this? This the last of the last ditch efforts Gero put in the androids to take out Goku if all else failed and the last time Gero saw Goku was before he left for Namek. And it was able to contend with JIREN. No wonder Cell panicked when 16 said he was going to self-destruct and kill them both, Cell apparently knew how obscenely dangerous the bomb was.

I'm sorry, but the Briefs family is officially dethroned as the 'smartest' people in DBZ. They stand on equal footing.
To be fair, it's possible that the bombs he built are somehow tied to the Android's power level, and 17 has apparently been training during his time on the bus so his power level is much, much higher than it was when he came out of his stasis pod.

But yeah, Gero is bullcrap.

Like, you should play FighterZ. The stuff Gero had made there is just... If you thought Cell was Bad.

Gero's creations in FighterZ include technology able to make mindless clones that instictivly use the power anf techniques of their DNA sources, energy waves that can cancel out one's abillity to use Ki and make them dependant on a soul placed in their body. Technology that can rip souls out of bodies.
Technology that can create artificial souls. Technology that can put souls in people's bodies.

And an eldritch abimination that casually makes Super Perfect Cell look like Saiyan Saga Yamcha and intends to consume all life in the uninverse. Note that this last one is implied to have been accidental.
