Casually drops new AU
Bot but he has an organic body
He looks so silly I love it
Was inspired by Yjhgvf's idea of Milli and Geo having the role of the Troublemakers, like them being the villains and Milli having anger issues. I think the AU is very nice and the fact that they have their own personality instead of just being "chaotic1/chaotic2 + no reason to be or do evil" like in the original is pretty good, and the Troublemaker's clothing weren't the best. Also funny thing, my Headcanon is: Milli's ponytails can be affected by her pattern powers, thus being literal fire whenever she's extremely angry.
Putting credits in here too just in case:

Swap!Team Umizoomi AU by @yjhgvf
Some vintage fashion finds
Some spins on the "mostly male team with a token woman" trope:
The woman is trans and stayed in her old circle of bros even after transition
The woman is the only one in her circle of "girls" who didn't turn out to be a trans man
YJ you're a genius (also, the ancient catboy necklace one cracked me up lmao. A little bit of an idea for "something important from one of the canon villains", maybe it can be one of Shape Bandit's object that has links for him being in a bandit/mafia group, like a very special ring or bracelet that isn't sold or made anywhere)
Has anyone ever figured out who the "Toodlemakers" on the funny math show fanon and headcanon actually are? Is it an egregious misspelling of the Troublemakers or are they their own characters bc I keep seeing difference things depending on the person
Have a zombie Umi (aka Unhuman)
Also silly @yjhgvf style cause I like 'em :]
Something i've always thought as interesting is emphasising that Bot has mighty math powers. There's nothing inherently wrong with that statement...at least at first as its shown that his powers are him being able to count which the team does consider a math power.
The problem is simply just that in terms of in universe abilities the counting isn't really a unique power. (It might be since it was able to shrink Zilch but since the whole team was counting iirc i'm unsure if Bot had an impact)
But even if we ignore that his other "math powers" include:
-Likely hacking/connecting (in)to cameras
-Projecting mechanics of how things work on his screen
-Containing and storing items
-Dispensing tools to use
-Radar
-LAZER
Now I'm not roboticist buuuuut....none of this feels unique in the context of being a robot. Especially if you take "Mighty math powers" at face value and see how they are visualised.
Blue electricity - Super Shapes
White sparkles - Pattern Power
Yellow/Golden glow - Milli measure
Bot doesn't exactly have his own equivelent of these effects iirc. At best he has some lasers that visually are no different than say...the trouble ray. (Iirc Bot's laser is more bland at that)
But I have a headcanon, what if he's powered by math powers wherein the same type of power and energy that Milli and Geo harness is also what literally powers Bot like a battery. which not only gives him a greater understanding of mathematics (Basically makes him a higher end calculator compared to other robots), and can allow him to operate and calculate faster, but also allows him to track and sense Milli and Geo easier as they possess the exact same type of energy.
Like where most robots are powered by like two AAs or a car battery he's powered by literally math incarnate, though this means that he could just have mighty math powers we don't see but he doesn't use them to not strain himself and accidentally run out of juice.
This headcanon is probably batshit insane but I had it on my mind and I wanna let it out.
OMG I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! BOT BEING POWERED BY MATH ITSELF IS SO FUCKING GENIUS SKDJFJRJVJGKFK
Artist who is kinda obsessed with Team Umizoomi :P (AUs are like treasure to me)
