The Spells R Us Wizard knew a lot about transformation magic, but he didn't know much about robots and androids himself. So HE brought in a consultant.
It got complicated after that. For all that it took less than one second as far as Ranma and his world was concerned, it ended up being designed by a group of unrelated scientists and fed back through the Spells R Us Wizard who handed it off to the djinni who then granted the wish that Mihoshi was granting.
There was a blur as past and present shifted.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" chortled the mad scientist, striding along the catwalk. "Now I shall RULE the world!"
The lights slowly came on, revealing feminine-shaped androids standing in neat rows.
"All it takes for my master plan to be put into operation is..." the mad scientist (looking remarkably like Gendo Ikari) stopped in mid-speech. "Who?"
"Yo," said the kid who was leaning up against the control panel. "Hey, do ya mind? I gotta big bucket of KFC from that foreman guy and I wanna eat it without my father getting mosta it."
"What?" asked Gendo, his diabolic moment of triumph as he betrayed SEELE seeming to have hit a snag.
"Name's Ranma. My old man got me a job stacking stuff in the warehouse overhead, I thought this looked like a good place to hide," said Ranma. "So go ahead with that 'rule the world' stuff. I just wanna eat in peace, ya know?"
"WHAT?!" yelped Gendo, very nearly losing his cool.
"Is this the killer army you're training?" asked Ranma, looking down into the warehouse. "That's what got my pop out here, that rumor of someone getting martial arts secrets and all. That WAS you, right?"
"Well, yes," said Gendo, figuring maybe this guy was just a figment of an overworked imagination. "I compiled tapes and data of dozens of martial arts and downloaded it into these fembots."
"Figured it was something like that," said Ranma. "Ya didn't make a lot of 'em though. This ain't even enough to rule Okayama, much less Tokyo."
"Well, it's a start," said Gendo, before sniffing. He could smell chicken. That meant...
"Wanna drumstick?" asked Ranma, figuring it WAS this guy's secret base and all.
"No," said Gendo, pulling a gun out of his pocket. "I want you to DIE!" WHACK clatter
"Aw man, you made me throw away a drumstick," said Ranma, mourning for the lost food that had knocked aside the gun.
Gendo picked the gun back up, quietly aimed and pulled the trigger. Unfortunately a well-aimed container of coldslaw covered his glasses and the boy dodged. BLAM fzzzzzzzzt! The bullet, still having had to go somewhere, ended up in a control panel.
Gendo took his glasses off just in time to see a foot arriving. THUNK! In typical villainous fashion he realized he was falling off the catwalk a moment too late except to give a particularly unimaginative last word. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Aw heck," said Ranma, leaning over the console to see what was happening.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
As one, several eyes locked onto the figure standing on the catwalk at the spot designated for a leader.
