The Zachbots

Zachbots are robot minions that work for and are created by Zach Varmitech.

Appearance[]

Zach designed his Zachbots so that they look menacing and muscular. Zachbots have dome-shaped heads, and they have red eyes and a speaker that is supposed to look like a mouth. Their bodies are conical, which creates a "V" shape from an angle. They typically have two pincers as hands. They move by hovering.

Abilities[]

  • Zachbots are jam-packed with features such as having an infinite assortment of attachments hidden inside them; their arms can extend seemingly limitlessly. They can also camouflage and disguise themselves to look like people as shown in "Let the Rhinos Roll!", when one made itself look like an African park ranger and Chris Kratt with a red shirt instead of a green one.
  • Zachbots appear to be very strong, able to lift large animals and instruments with ease. Zachbots can also reach extreme speeds by hovering, and apparently they have no maximum or minimum altitude in which they will stop hovering; one was shown hovering at the edge of space while spying on Tortuga.
  • Some Zachbots are further programmed to be extremely stealthy, allowing Zach to use them to spy on the Kratt brothers. Most Zachbots are anything but stealthy though.
  • Zach most often uses his Zachbots to find and collect his animal targets. He also uses them to defend himself and build some of his machines. Zach even uses them as domestic servants.
  • Usually, Zach brings along two Zachbots on every mission, but he can mass summon them, especially when he needs them to combat both or one of the Kratt brothers in their Creature Power Suits.

Weaknesses[]

Even with so many features, Zachbots are one of the weakest and most poorly designed of Zach's inventions. They behave similar to Dabio and Rex.

  • One comical weakness is that they are very literal minded. This means that Zachbots do exactly what Zach tells them to do, but not always what he means. For example, when Zach exclaimed "Somebody pinch me" in "Polar Bears Don't Dance". a Zachbot literally pinched him, and he returned with an "I didn't mean literally!"
    • They are also known to hear things incorrectly, like in "Koala Balloon". When Zach asks them to bring him Eucalyptus tea, they instead bring him a eucalyptus tree. This could also not be a weakness because Zach had a cold.
  • A second weakness is poor tactics. They often, when facing the Kratt brothers, simply charge at them, only to be turned into scrap metal, even if they outnumber the Kratt brothers by far. This occurred in "Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus", when Martin shows the Arctic Pearl to a Zachbot. It then tries to snatch the Arctic Pearl from him, but Martin moves out of the way, and the Zachbot rams into a sea wall. They are also not sophisticated enough to properly apply their great strength into physical combat.
  • A third weakness is that relatively to their size and strength, they are very fragile, and can relatively easily be crushed. They can even accidentally crush each other if they hover into each other at high speeds. It also takes relatively little damage to make them cease functioning; in "Golden Snub Nosed Monkey Man", Aviva and Chris disabled a couple of Zachbots by hitting them with snowballs.
  • A fourth weakness is that they must be regularly charged, and apparently show no indication or sign of how much battery charge they have left. Their charging process also appears to be quite lengthy, to the point that at one such occurrence, Zach preferred to begin looking for a solution himself instead of waiting for them to finish being charged.
  • A fifth weakness is that they seem to have a hard time seeing against sunlight and bright reflections, as shown in "A Huge Orange Problem" where the Zachbots stopped what they were doing and were forced to put on sunglasses when a beam of light was shone into their eyes.

Trivia[]

  • In "Hammerheads," Zach had all of the Zachbots upgraded by replacing their standard dome-shaped heads with hammer-shaped ones. They were presumably reverted back to their previous head shape as no "hammerhead" Zachbots were seen in future appearances.
  • The Zachbots look somewhat similar to the Antivirus Bots in The Emoji Movie, though this show premiered before that movie.
