UT

"Meet UT. The universal translator, designed to translate any language into our own."

- Miles "Tails" Prower, "Translate This"

UT (short for Universal Translator) is a character that appears in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a robot created by Miles "Tails" Prower with the ability to translate any language, including underlying opinions in speech.

Appearance
UT is a diminutive robot, its actual body being only half as tall as Tails. It has an orange and grey cylinder-formed head with an grip on top, two dial indicators for eyes, a triangle-shaped area on the front resembling a nose and an instrument pad for mouth. On each side of its head it is a tall, thin parabola which has a red wire wrapping around it. It also has a small orange and grey cylinder-shaped body with a red button the front and a thick cable on its left side leading to its back. It has two black wheels for feet.

History
UT was created by Tails as his most brilliant invention at that time. Once it was perfected, UT was shown to the rest of Team Sonic by Tails who gave a demonstration of UT's abilities. While UT was successful in translating bird speech, it quickly began translating the other's conversations into what the really meant, revealing things to the others that they took offense to, forcing Tails to shut UT down. The following night, UT was kidnapped by Orbot and Cubot and replaced with a fake on the orders of Dr. Eggman so he could turn Team Sonic against themselves. At Eggman's lair, Eggman took a liking to UT when it translated his underlying self-praise. Tails later came to the lair and made Eggman release UT in exchange for him becoming his assistant, and Tails left a goodbye recording on UT to his friends. UT returned to the rest of Team Sonic where it showed Tails' recording and translated it into a call for help, as Tails planned, and the team went to the lair with UT to save Tails. During the battle, UT saved Tails from falling off a cliff. After freeing Tails, everyone had taken a liking to UT, except for Sticks, who quickly threw UT into the ocean where it short-circuited.

Personality
UT is completely emotionless and acts more like a drone than an individual, remaining completely impartial regardless of who is in possession of it. Nevertheless, it shows loyalty towards Tails, as seen when it saved him from falling off a cliff.

Powers and Abilities
UT is capable of translating any language it hears into that of their own, such as translating bird chirps into English. If what it hears does not need to be translated, UT is capable of translating the underlying opinions and subtext in the speech of others into what they really mean, making it a form of mind reader. It is also capable of recording auto and videos and display it as holographic videos.
