But i don't think there is much malicious intent or outcome from what he does when he absorbs the toys into him, being that if it was bad, and he wanted to do it anyways, he wouldn't wait until they're dead to do so, that only makes me think that he does it so they don't die.

Anyone else like the idea that Poppy is essentially the yin to the prototype's yang. They both want to save everyone still in the factory, it's just two different views on saving them. Poppy wants to eliminate them and 1006 wants to keep them alive, it'll be cool to see the civil war unfold over how to save all the experiments.

[@cinnclair5068]

Classic father and daughter disagreements

[@alysonmartin9151]

Yeah - I think they are on opposing sides of whatever conflict is happening here, but it’s more nuanced than “1006 hero - Poppy bad”. My guess is that 1006 is caring for the monsters and keeping them alive while directing them to kill anyone that might try to restart the factory and experiments. If it is Elliot, then he would want to do everything in his power to stop the horrors he witnessed. But between the threat of starvation, the derelict facility, and his use/absorption of toys, their quality of life is near-constant suffering. I think Poppy wants to restart the experiments, and finish what was started. She tells our character that we’re “too perfect to lose” and seems intent on keeping us in the factory. We also can be respawned like the monsters in Project Playtime, and we know from Mommy (and Ch. 1) that we used to work there…which insinuates that we are also a monster. So maybe we’re the “perfect” version of whatever these experiments were supposed to accomplish, which allows us to live and survive out in the regular world, and Poppy wants to finish the work that created us and save all of the monsters that are living this awful life hidden away in the bowels of an abandoned, evil toy factory…but to do that means restarting the awful experiments…probably on us. And 1006 is against it.

Lol maybe and that’s why this is one of the ONLY optimistic theories he’s made

[@SeraphimCramer]

I think it seems to me that while the Prototype may have initially been in control of the others, over the years, his influence on them has waned, & they've now mostly just gone mad. If 1006 were still in control & needed you for whatever his plans are, Huggy wouldn't have tried to eat you, & Mommy would have just brought Poppy straight to him instead of toying around (haha) with the both of you, trying to kill you, & slaughtering the other toys in rage when they failed to do so. Also, if 1006 were still their overall protector/father figure, she wouldn't have been so terrified of being incorporated into him after her death. I think the Prototype started out just trying to look after the toys left behind in the factory & preventing the same fate from befalling anyone else, but eventually, for some reason or another, they all started losing their minds, becoming feral, or letting their hatred for those who did this to them take them over, & they lashed out against him, becoming the raving monsters left roaming the halls, with the stronger ones feeding on the weaker ones to sustain themselves. 1006 himself may have even started to lose his grip, given that he started cannibalizing the bodies of the other toys into himself, & that could've even been part of what pushed the others away from him. Seeing how far things were spiraling out of hand - & possibly feeling his own mind slipping - the Prototype makes one last desperate play to put things right by reaching out to the last known former employee of Playtime who knew about the experiments in order to have us come back & put an end to the horrors the Bigger Bodies Initiative spawned. But since he can no longer control the others, they either see us as food when they've been starving for years (Huggy), or they only see us as one of their former tormentors, & want revenge (Mommy).

[@aloe_]

@@aloe_ Lol this is just my own conjectures & filling in holes based on the theory. I wouldn't have been able to come up with anything like this all on my own.

[@ethribin4188]

I think the main problem 1006 faces is that, he too is hungry. And thus he needs to conserve energy. I also dont think he ever "controlled" the toys. He just influence and guided them, like a normal human would a normal human. But his ultimate problem is hunger. The same hunfer the toys have. He may not die from it, but he needs food to sustain himself. And so, he takes a back seat as much as he can,might even be hibernating at the point we arrive. He does seem much less active than in the age of Project Playtime afterall. Maybe his letter to us was his last dich effort before falling "asleep". As he refuses to eat his "children" to give him strength and energy. But when a toy "dies",not only does he finally get food, but he also tries to save them. So instead of consuming them outright for food, he integrates them. Thus both giving him strength, and not letting his "children" die. This would explain why 1006 would become more prominent in chapter 3. He just goy "food" by consuming/integrating mommy longlegs.

[@allaniadall9686]

Guys. MatPat should notice you. You would do SO great and these would explain a lot.

[@22Tesla]

I figured this out myself. I suspect Mommy is just vocal about not wanting to be made part of him because she knows that means loss of identity. She used to be human, and even though she lost that she still had the ability to move around freely. Being made a part of 1006 would be permanent, she knew. She'd have no freedom, she'd be just a brain ina meat suit with 1006 using what was left of her as it's own. And maybe she wouldn't even have that as 1006, by tapping into her body would also mean tapping into her brain via the nerves. She'd become a part of him, the greater and more intelligent being. Hmmm... Imagine if when we face 1006 at the end, and he's just like Glados from Portal 1: one main brain with all these other personalities added to it. Imagine that: 1006 with Mommy's deep violent anger mixed with Huggy's ravenous hunger. A collection of personalities feeding into one mega monster.

As soon as I heard the phrase “Bigger Bodies Project”, two thoughts came to mind: A) why not call it the “Bigger Buddies Project”, sounds cuter IMO, and B) that implies they were bigger. Like, were they experimenting on kids, and when they moved onto adults, the toys had to be WAY bigger? Or is it just a way of saying “we made toys big to fit in test subjects”, not “we made toys big to fit in *adult* test subjects, rather than kids”? 18:50 I hope that ends up being the case, cause Elliot seemed to be a kind person, and with his initiative to adopt children, I was hoping 1006 would end up being a better person than I expected from the former head of a company, even if it’s a toy company.

I don't understand your second thought (B), since the point was to make bigger toys so they can more easily do labor around the factory. I don't think adults/children bodies sizes were a factor in the decision to make bigger toys; if anything, a discovery they had to make down the line. If you're referencing the point Mat theorizes about of The Doctor possibly making Elliott into 1006 and Elliott's notes on bigger bodies, I believe Elliott would've been used just as a means to get rid of an obstacle for The Doctor, and then we know they use children for other toys. I don't know about Mommy, but the other big toys have nothing stating whether they were made from adults or children. Basically, the decision to make bigger toys was for labor, not based on the source of how they make the toys.

I think Experiment_1006 was the second because Poppy was the first to be reincarnated into a toy. However, Experiment_1006 would still be the first since he created Playtime Co.

[@coppercat7720]

I think you are right about the doctor betraying Eliot Ludwig, he was turned into 1006, and was angry that someone he trusted, someone he knew. He loved the children, he was a family man at heart, he was a kind man…

[@QuickSilverKitsune]

1006 isn't Ludwig: it's stated in the first episode/part that 1006 has a shockingly high intelligence: considering Ludwig was the one that discovered what the Poppy flowers were capable of, no scientist there would've been shocked by 1006's intelligence if he was Ludwig

[@NathanDavisVideos]

I had a feeling this "prototype" (or Experiment 1006) was indeed made from Elliot Ludwig. I have a feeling when they hired this "doctor" to work for them, he [the doctor] was doing some shady things behind Elliot's back, without him knowing about it; and when he finally found out: He was then put or turned into the prototype by this doctor. Now that theory ACTUALLY makes sense!

[@violetobrycki480]

I have a theory on how toy were used from adults. In chapter one you get a commercial for visits in the factory. Adults brought their children in the factory, adults were lured into a different room witch claimed to be “too gruesome for children” the adults are killed to make toys. The children became orphans.

[@FoxHybrid]

I like this theory! It would make sense and maybe less FNaF like with dead kids

[@SqueakyA5]

That would make sense because it looks like they didn’t start using kids till after 1007

[@lisahenry20]

I think the problem with that is surely other family members (aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc) will notice that the parents and their children are missing.

[@Sophiamil2]

I don’t think that the bigger toys are young children at all. I think that they are all roles that are fulfilled by teenagers. For example, you’re not gonna have a young child as a security guard, or the role that Huggy Wuggy takes on. You’re not gonna have a young child looking after other young children, as they’ll just get distracted and want to play with the other children. Mommy Long Legs, or Maria Payne had to have been older than the children that were put through the tests in order to properly supervise them and ensure their safety. Same with Boxy Boo. It also explains their attitude. Children who have been through traumatizing events like this are more likely to freeze up and lock themselves in. Not necessarily vengeful, but afraid. Teenagers on the other hand are much more likely to be angry and want revenge. It explains why Mommy Long Legs has such a diverse and rich vocabulary, something that you are not usually going to find in a younger child. It explains the level of hatred that comes from comprehension. It explains why Mommy hates and is scared of the prototype. Because she knows that it’s Elliot Ludwig and that scares her. She associates all of the workers Witt the pain, even though Ludwig is just trying to help. It even explains the trailer for project playtime, with little huggy. The smaller kids possess the toys that were meant to go out to other children, but after being killed and transferred into a toy they are now scared, and rely on their bigger counterparts for safety. Really this makes it even darker in my opinion because the older you are the more comprehension skills you have. Imagine knowing what’s happening but being powerless to stop it, no matter how you try. Sad

[@michaelmacomber9236]

I habe an amazing theory, I just realized poppy playtime has a scent that makes children happy, what do we see in the chapter 3 trailer? gas. LOTS of gas. What I propose is that the prototype needs “lets say poppy gas as a possible nesesity” for an unknown objective, he needs poppy because poppy’s scent IS THE GAS. So he needs poppy to reverse engineer the gas and make more of it. But this gas was made for children, if he has children the gas is to keep them calm so they don’t get hurt, so he can protect them, it sounds cruel but in a giant factory with blood everywhere and dark places with sharp objects, it’s all he can use so the children stay happy and don’t die
