DRAGONBALL CELL -- LARVA

Here is another request from my friend from north of the border. This time, she is requesting Cell (Larva). Cell, in his larval form, resembles a large four-legged cicada with long, V-shaped horns on its head and a face similar to that of the remote tracking device. This is beginning of several transformations that Cell appears in during the DragonBall series.
