Description
Meta-Coolers (メタルクウラ Metaru Kūra, lit. "Metal Koora") are mass-produced cyborg clones of Cooler created by the Big Gete Star that can be remotely controlled from the planet's core. They are the decoy antagonists of Dragon Ball Z: The Return of Cooler before it is revealed they are clones. Although there are 10,000,000,000 Meta-Coolers (thousands in the Funimation dub), the term "Meta-Cooler" is often used to refer to the first one encountered by Goku. The army of hundreds or thousands of Meta-Cooler is referred to as the Meta-Cooler Corps.

Due to being replications of Cooler, the Meta-Coolers all possess identical personality traits to the original Cooler. They are also all completely loyal to their template and essentially have a hive mind mentality that seeks to absorb energy to fuel the Big Gete Star. To an extent, it is also implied the Meta-Coolers, or at least the one Goku encountered, shared the same memories as the original Cooler due to his confirming that he should have died in their prior encounter.

In Xenoverse 2, it is implied that the Meta-Cooler Corps (and by extension original Cooler himself, not counting his similarly named Metal Cooler transformation.) have come to see themselves as having evolved into an entirely new race that they consider to be superior and separate from the rest of the Frieza Race, which they view as primitive and hold nothing more than contempt for (possibly a result of Cooler attributing his failures to his organic body) and as a potential source of energy to fuel Cooler's and his new race's ascension. Interestingly, this is in sharp contrast to Cooler's original personality before becoming one with the Big Gete Star, as he exemplified a strong sense of pride in his race (which is said to be a common trait among members of the Frieza Race in Xenoverse 2). Presumably, his and Frieza's failures against Goku caused him to develop a form of self-loathing which manifested itself into a form of contempt towards his race which he was once so proud to be a part of (essentially blaming his weakness on his race of origin and not on himself). This contempt was eventually inherited by his duplicates which Cooler came to view as having evolved beyond the Frieza Race. He is also shown to adopt significantly more dirty tactics in battle, with a notable example of this being when Meta Cooler, after a then-newly arrived Super Saiyan Vegeta tried to blast him, proceeded to ambush him as well as kick the Saiyan Prince directly in his crotch.

In Super Dragon Ball Heroes, however, he has the exact same personality as Cooler, largely because in that entry, it is an actual form of Cooler created by Fu.
