Dump Truck is a recurring antagonist in Team Umizoomi. He is a large blue dump truck who tries to cheat to win races. He is a rival of UmiCar, but they tend to be friends sometimes.
Personality[]
Dump Truck was shown to be competitive and arrogant during the races he was in. He is also quite mean to any vehicle and also to some people, such as popping Sam's balloon and making fun of UmiCar.
During racing, he's shown to be a cheater, such as raising the drawbridge, dumping dirt on Team Umizoomi, and also throwing soap bubbles on the road to make Umicar slip and slide around.
However, Dump Truck also has a sensitive-side to himself, shown when he is sad after he lost the race around Umi-City and the Great Shape Race. This could mean he really doesn't like losing, however in the episode "The Umi Grand Prix." Dump Truck didn't look too sad when he lost, which could mean, he's gotten used to it by now.
However, in the episode "Umicar's Birthday Present" he was happy and kind. This shows that Dump Truck can be a nice and friendly truck in general.
History[]
He first appeared in Race Around Umi City when he popped Sam's balloon. He even made fun of UmiCar because he was so small. He also cheated by raising the drawbridge, dumping dirt on Team Umizoomi, and dropping soap that made UmiCar slide so much he broke his steering wheel. He and UmiCar raced to the finish line, but UmiCar won. Sam shared his colored and checkered balloons with UmiCar and Team Umizoomi, and UmiCar gave Dump Truck a balloon that matches his color. He was sorry for being mean and started to become friends with UmiCar.
However, in The Great Shape Race, he was still selfish and a cheater. He wanted the magical dodecahedron for himself. This time, he didn't laugh at UmiCar, but he self-proclaimed himself to his rival. He cheated by not waiting for go, cutting the rope to get over the cliff, dropping glue everywhere, and destroying the car path. UmiCar still won in the end and shared his flying powers, granted by the dodecahedron, with Dump Truck. This time, he was really, really apologetic and regretful for cheating and being selfish.
He also appears in UmiCar's Birthday Present as one of the guests. He was not like he was in the other episodes, he was happy and kind, and was good friends with UmiCar and the other guests. Dump Truck, unlike other episodes, also felt bad for UmiCar when The Troublemakers stole his birthday present.
In Umi Grand Prix!, Dump Truck returns to win the aforementioned race. When UmiCar and Shark Car come up to Dump Truck, he first tries to stop them with wet cement, which Shark Car gets stuck in. When the Team catches up, he tries spraying enough smog to obscure sight. After UmiCar and Shark Car pass him, he threw a major tantrum only to throw wet cement all around him, as DoorMouse points out. Later he congratulated them for winning the race and defeating the Troublemakers.
