Consumed By

 * Cell

General
Android 17 has a very cocky and somewhat cruel personality as he delights in overpowering others with his incredible strength. However, his main desire, along with Androids 18 and 16, is to defeat and kill Son Goku. Eventually, Android 17 gives up this desire and reforms to lives a peaceful life and start a family.

Regarding Scenario
When Cell attempts to capture 17 so he can absorb him, 17 fights back in resistance even as Cell demonstrates his incredible strength. However, even when faced with Cell's overwhelming power, Android 17 remains confident he can win, which ultimately proves to be his downfall as he is caught and absorbed. 17 is greatly distressed as he is absorbed, futilely resisting as he is sucked into Cell's body. After being freed from Cell, he seems largely unfazed by the experience.

Background
Android 17, along with his twin sister Android 18, were originally normal humans before being kidnapped and experimented on by Dr. Gero. The two were turned into powerful androids for the purpose of destroying Son Goku. Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Gero also planed for them to be absorbed and become bio-matter components of the bio-android Cell so that it may become the perfect life form.

During the Androids/Cell story arc, Android 17 and his sister are awoken by Dr. Gero to kill Goku and his comrades. After turning on and killing Dr. Gero and awakening Android 16, the three androids begin their search for Goku. Their search is preempted, however, as the three are confronted by Cell, who is intent on absorbing 17 and 18 to achieve his "perfect" form.

Dragon Ball - Chapter 372, Dragon Ball Z - Episode 152
As the Androids battle against Cell, Android 16 lands a devastating blow against Cell that buries him in the earth. Despite 16's warning to escape, 17 chooses to stay so he can pay Cell back for all the damage he gave him. However, Cell manages to sneak up on Android 17 and engulf him head first with his tail. Android 17 struggles futilely, but is ultimately pumped through Cell's tail and absorbed into his body, allowing Cell to reach his semi-perfect form.

Fate
Android 17 remains trapped inside of Cell for most of the rest of the arc. Supposedly, he retained some level of awareness while inside him, but otherwise was completely incapacitated. Ultimately, Android 17 dies when Cell detonates himself, thus destroying Android 17 as well. However, Android 17 was later brought back to life with the Dragon Balls.
