Do Zachbots Have Emotions?!?!
It it just me…Or does the Zachbot look afraid of him?

Hello, I’m back with another Zach Headcanon! See below the cut for all of it, I hope you all enjoy!
The look in the Zachbot’s eyes, and the way that the pinchers are held together makes me wonder if maybe Zach has programmed them to have, at least minimal, emotions.
The eyes, for example, are turned downward, as in shame. Shame and fear are two emotions that can go hand in hand when one knows they have done something wrong or they have offended/hurt/enraged another individual.
Then, the pinchers are held together in a manner that is reminiscent of wringing hands. Hand wringing is another form of physical expression that can be used to show discomfort when afraid, ashamed, or nervous.
The Zachbot knew it had not properly performed it’s duties and knew Zach was angry, the Zachbot is showing the physical signs connected to the emotions I mentioned, soooo, is it wrong to assume that Zach programmed them to feel emotions?
In particular, I think he very well could have programmed them to feel certain emotions because those emotions best serve his needs. If they feel fear they will protect him or obey him, if they feel shame they will perform their duties better to serve him and please him, if they feel remorse they will try to comfort him, etc.
The Zachbots obviously have many programming flaws, and there is a lot we don’t know about them, but I think emotion very well could be one of the programmed features integrated into them.
