ah if it's android in the first place it ought to be changed to Robot, In the episode where we found John Smith, Red Tornado made it clear that his standard form which the others resemble is a robot while the human appearing john smith is an android. Since the Firebrand was just a fleshy disguise that TOMorrow could cut off it wouldnt negate that.
