[Trying an alternate strategy after almost getting himself killed at their last encounter is hardly cowering.]

I don't doubt the terror's you've seen, Vegeta-san. The androids are still a class of their own… they are heartless horrors that have no Ki to be sensed, yet never run out of energy.

[Trunks doesn't know if the Vegeta of his timeline had ascended to Super Saiyan, but Gohan had. He himself has and that's why he knows: one Super Saiyan alone just isn't enough.]

The time machine travels back and forth between timelines, but from what I have gathered so far we have been displaced to another dimension entirely. It isn't capable of doing or causing that.

[Hence, not his fault. As for his being saiyan… yea, no comment on that.]
