[@MrLeFluffy1]

I know this is a silly joke, but it just occured to me you could categorize it this way: 100 years later, we've advanced so far in technology that motion picture capturing captures color and sound, that we've created screens of thousands of tiny lights that can display whatever image you want, and a connected network spanning the whole world (and SPACE!) where people can communicate using images on those screens, and sounds of their own voices, and music, and everything you can think of. And it's so commonplace that people can use it to talk about silly things, like games (made entirely on these devices!) and stories that they enjoy, and share those silly things with the _whole world._ And the cars may not fly, but we do have air traffic! You can still use flight to travel! Idk, I've always enjoyed these jokes but it just now sort of hit me that we're glossing over some insane and truly magical things we have in comparison. So maybe this will make someone feel a bit more positively about how far we've come!

"Lefty's twin brother who changed his name to avoid the authorities." Okay, so this is my canon now, but it opens so many questions. What did he do that he needed to change his name? Does Fazbear not name the animatronics, if they can rename themselves? Is Fazbear involved in the coverup? He clearly needs his own story in one of the books to clear this up. Maybe a book, or a series, just covering this.

I feel like the reason they're so forgotten is their overlap with a toy animatronics but also because they're not possessed they don't actually have a soul in them.

[@GJames-Legend101]

Things I think. 1. What if Henry repurposed carnie into lefty in order to find and contain his daughter. 2. Since lefty was designed to contain the puppet perhaps the rockstar animatronics were designed in a similar fashion but never got to show it. 3. Since el chip shares a similar design maybe he was made around the same time the rockstars were.

[@rockstarherospirit]

Yeah I think it was implied in Help Wanted 2 that Carnie, an early aniamtronic, was reused to make Lefty, which makes me think all the Rockstars and probably El Chip too are reused from a similar time as well.

[@diamondthedragon9792]

To your second thing, I actually have seen a theory that the Rockstars were the springlock hybrids explained by Phone Guy in FNAF 3.

[@Nightfoxx444]

Something that i don't see many people talk about. I was taking a closer look into Lefty's model from Fnaf Help Wanted 2, and i noticed a brown tint on his legs, and a little bit on his torso. Could be evidence that he is indeed a reporpused Carnie.

[@KoKoKreates]

What i think is funnier is the fact that the gameplay of doing tasks happening during the day (as stated by the robot voice and background sounds), which means that Lefty, if bought and on stage, has to stop performing to go try kill Mike which i think is hilarious

[@guardianofthefourthwall]

It's funny how it seems like the rockstars have way more recognition outside of their original game. I remember that a long time ago there was a news report about someone throwing a Rockstar Freddy plush on top of a roof and they had to call the fire department to get him down. Also, I mean this with 100% sincerity, I would love to hear Rockstar Bonnie and Rockstar Chica's voices return in some way. I love them both so much, easily two of my favorite voices in the entire series. It pains me that they only got to shine in UCN. Carnie also has one of my favorite voices, that type of voice he has was always one of my favorite types of voices to listen to.

[@ivebenhere1843]

Fun fact; the office sections in pizza sim actually take place during the day and not at night. Handunit confirms this on the first day and you can even faintly hear party’s going on during gameplay. That makes Lefty’s role in the game even more confusing since he’s in the vents during the day but he still somehow entertains the kids during the day.

I love them, even though they aren't the fandom's favorites, they are mine, specially how their personalities gives them more diversity than any of the other animatronics. Also side note of some things you might be interested: 1. In the HW2 files, Carnie's folder name for the model is called "Barker Bear" which could have been his original name. 2. It's very under the radar, but El Chip is technically a Rockstar as well since his model is the same as the other rockstars. (colorful cheeks, knees, upper eyelids, jaw design, 5 fingers, and 4 toes.)

I personally think that if Carnie was used at Fallfest, it could be that there was a person nearby or maybe in a booth behind him voicing him to heckle the character. There's a few similar things in amusement parks and fairs where you have someone puppeting or controlling an animatronic and speaking through a microphone nearby. Plus since fall fest was so early on I feel like it'd be hard to get them as sentient as some of the other animatronics.

[@rockstarherospirit]

The Rockstars are my favorite and have been for years, they DESERVE more attention in the games and that is 100% why they don't get much attention in the fandom. Their designs are really great. I was so glad to see Carnie bring the style back, but sad to see them not all return in Help Wanted 2 where they should have been given that chance to shine. Their personalities are good, I'd say even Rockstar Freddy shows a clear personality through his renders, they have a lot of potential. Since they don't attack in Pizza Sim, they are presumably non-hostile outside of UCN, but they have a default liability with no explanation ever given. There's more questions to answer about them and I hope that will be explored one day. Fun fact: the Rockstars (and Mediocre Melodies) also can react to novel situations in intelligent ways, like Carnie did. One of the lawsuits in Pizza Sim proves this. They probably also knew when Henry burned the building down. But who is surprised to see Henry creating something that can think and then destroying it! Another fun fact: The Rockstars' mechanics in UCN are a reference to the 5 stats in Pizzaria Simulator (Freddy: Bonus Revenue, Bonnie: Entertainment, Chica: Health & Safety, Foxy: Liability, and Lefty: Atmosphere) which is really clever.

ALSO. The rockstars were kinda meant to be placeholders, in-universe, I'm pretty sure. I don't think it was a mistake. They're, like you said, a fazbear facade to hide something deeper. And I think it'd be neat to have the rockstars somewhere in the abandoned freddy's under the pizzaplex. Iin fact, I think that's what the classic animatronic models were placeholders for in the old unused version of one of the ruin dlc maps. I think it was either that or fredbears idk could be either. I just wanna explore the depths of the fazbear tunnels some more. Hopefully as a continuation of Cassie's story. But I've already come up with an entire plot for a potential second dlc for security breach, so I'm not gonna keep rambling about that here-

There's only so much you can do to be a populat animatronic in Fnaf when there's not a dead child/dead serial killer/killer ai/etc possessing you. Funny that ulitmately, they are indeed the safest animatronics overall, in-universe (well, the safest versions of the main cast at least). Maybe, if it was possible to interact with them in Fnaf 6, they could've become more popular? Oh well, what's done is done.

I've always liked the designs of the Rockstars ! To me it always appeared as the right middle ground between Classics and Toys (and maybe even the Funtimes).

I liked the addition of Carnie to HW2 (even if it was small and not really important).

[@Bigddalt]

Do you think that lefty could be a refurbished carnie? This is a very long shot, im talkin 100 yard football kick, but it's just some fun thoughts that could conjure up something in the community. If you look at burnt carnie's model, you can just barely see that his right eye is more withered. You may have to squint. But say that at that time his right eye got replaced because it was the most damaged of the two, after decades of collecting dust and rotting away, the untouched eye could have decayed to the point of becoming black. As Henry repared carnie to become lefty, the original eye may have stayed or been replaced with a new black eye for a unique touch. A more realistic approach could be the lefty's design is INSPIRED by his burnt orginal. The eye rotted eye i just mentioned could have inspired the black eye detail. One specific character of that I think could drive home this theory is the color. Burnt carnie is a muted brown with white char accents. But if you were to scrape all of burnt plastic off, you be left with a black tarnished metal. Notice that lefty is not solid black, but a metalic, gun metal black. I think it is possibe that lefty is either a repaired version of carnie, with it's new design based on the chared scraps of the original, or lefty was a completely different animatronic who's build was inspired by the remains of his counterpart. By the location of Fazer Blast and hint we see, I think that carnie was most likely a part of Fall Fest(most likely the 1970 event) if so, do you think it's possible that carnie was one of Henry's first animatronics. That was a whole decade before our first look at fredbears. Whether or not Fredbear's opened before 1983. I highly doubt that it was an establishment before 1970. I noticed that there is no sign of Freddy’s or Fredbear's on the poster. Which leads me to believe that this fall fest may have predated everything. The running theory is that the mediocre melodies were his first animatronics, made to rip off Freddy’s fame. But being that we see an animatronic a decade before that, that closely resembles one of his final animatronics. It really seems that carnie could be his first. Here's some food for thought. Henry has been deemed a copycat in the early timeline for the mediocre melodies. But if he made his first BEAR animatronic at a children's theme event in 1970, is he really the copycat? If William stole the idea and made Fredbear's, and Fredbear's became as big as it did. No one would bat an eye at a small carnival with a simple bear animatronic. I don't know if I like this idea, but I'm just throwing everything I got to see what sticks. Is it possible that William set the carnival on fire to one, preventing it from becoming more successful. And two, to take that idea and reuse it for himself. I don't think he was pure evil at this point, or really evil at all. But it's still just a thought. I don't really think that lefty is a remade carnie. I think it's possible that the design could have been inspired by the withered design. But I doubt that they put that much thought into a connection like that. I am pretty confident, though, that carnie was most likely the first and that Henry was never really the copycat. But more so, tried to reclaim the ideas stolen from him later on after William's fame.

No real reason why, but this is my favorite FNaF band so far. Maybe it's something about the designs, like a mix of the simplicity of the classics and the complexity of the Glamrocks (I know they came after, but I couldn't find a better comparison). It could also be their really unique personalities that aren't just the common "nice dad, violent guy, and... *Chica."*

A side game, maybe? I'd love to see something that really focused on and took advantage of their really interesting personalities. I love how you say "crazier things have happened" and then actually give examples, that got a laugh from me. I think the reason Carny looks like the rockstars isn't because he IS one, but because he was designed by the same person. They existed in very different times, so I think it's less that he's part of the band and more a lore hint.

One of my favorite things about your content is how much you mention the Silver Eyes trilogy, even just in passing like you did here. It's not really a thing other FNAF creators do so it makes your style incredibly unique while also being a nice wink and a nod to the comparatively few of us who read them.

In an older MatPat video, he joked that he was the only person fo have read the books and, as proof, pulled numbers to show exactly where most people stopped reading

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

Thank you! 😊

[@tonyhorse6832]

The next fnaf game needs to be a road trip where the Rockstar Fazbear triplets come together to overcome their differences and explains how Lefty lost his eye and why Carnie had to distance himself from his brothers

[@rockstarherospirit]

I'd pay to see that, my three favorite animatronics are the Rockstar bear trio.

[@nyanbinary__]

oh man this video made me remember how much i like rockstar chica. i just find her UCN personality fun and charming

[@drdagonator3544]

Just in a weird way the actuators on the lower jaw almost makes them feel less mechanically advanced then most of the models. However, with the plasticy look, while being less advanced than the toys, may be a jab at how modern fazbear entertainment is a bit underhanded and went with cheaper models that still worked.

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

THANK YOUUUU. I _adore_ the Rockstars. Rockstar Freddy in particular is my favourite (I just think he's neat. Also seeing the 5 coin easter egg in Ruin made me immensely happy. And that should speak for itself in how desperate we rockstar fans are for any acknowledgement of them) so I'm always happy to see people talk about them. Wacky bunch

[@captainet2457]

10:40 It’s the Puppet. People love the puppet

[@Vivian_Za_Determined_LunaMoth]

The Melodies supposed to be the looked over ones only to overshadow the Rockstars due to their lore importance is a twist of irony so delicious I expect it to be served to me at a 5-star restaurant.

[@DJ_Music_Man2]

The odds of me playing Minecraft for the first time in months to make FNaF 6 and you post this the second I start seem pretty low lmao😂

[@rickolade1381]

I just noticed that the rockstars are a sort of combination of the withereds and the toys. Their shape are the same as the Withereds but with other features from the toys like Freddy being more chubby, Chica having less teeth on her beak, Bonny having a face, and Foxy having a second head in the form of a parrot, with both him and the parrot having one eye. On top of that the owerall smoother, cleaner and more plasticity shell. Also their fifth member is litterally the Puppet being trapped in a bear (like Fredbear or Sping Freddy)

[@CrypticCrimsonZ]

i did NOT expect to see a video focusing on my favourite animatronics-

[@CruzingAroundTheBlock]

THANK FOR SO MUCH I LOVE THE ROCKSTARS SO MUCH!

[@genericmalename6087]

17:55 I don't think I could describe how these characters stand out from the rest of the bands any better than that, but man is that still a goofy way to describe the animatronics.

[@flamefangstar]

You know, i appreciate you never using the audio for the jump scares. Thank you.

[@sleepyhijinx7800]

I think a part of the reason the rockstar’s just didn’t imprint on people was because of the timeline (THE IRL NOT THE IN GAME) Sister location had already given us a fresh view on this idea of “modernized” looking fnaf characters like with Funtime Freddy and Funtime Foxy, and then the next game after UCN gave us a “modernized” and super high tech cast of characters. The rockstars, as cute as they are, are much more generic looking in comparison to what came before and after. I mean, we even see a Funtime Chica in Pizza Sim and her design still seems much more unique and high tech in comparison to the band. We’ve already seen the “new and improved” high tech makeover before Pizza sim, and they simply just don’t stand out among the fun times and their very unique look, and they continue to look bland and commercialized looking in comparison to our newest crew (doesn’t help that THAT crew has 10x more personality in SB then the rockstars in their debut). To me the rockstars just felt like a very sanitized and kinda boringly “safe” design for the main fnaf crew. Like they were made with Afton Robotics image and corporate desires in mind. Of course there are obviously fans out there (love Crooner Bon and Extortionist Freddy) but their general design just feels like filler after we had a taste of a truly unique take on the Freddy look (much more leaning into the creepy sci-fi future aspect, and not the corny 80s entertainment) and then only being proceeded by an iconic modern variation that really blew up in people’s subconscious.

[@MarkTheDevourer]

17:25 is now my head cannon. It now sits comfortably in my brain right next to the, “the scout from tf2 is Jermey Fitzgerald/the bite of 87 victim” theory

[@Anima--L]

Kinda unrelated but I had a thought recently that if the rockstar's would of ever appeared in the books that they would of appeared in a sequel to the fourth closet where Carlton is having horrific nightmares after being injected with remanent and a new Freddy's has mysteriously opened with the Rockstar's.

[@Sleepy_Melodiess]

I unexpectedly got to see many of your Fnaf videos, i must say i'm impressed by your quality and interesting narrative, very good content!

[@notrealnamenotatall2476]

Oh, thank you so much! You're wonderful! 83

[@Caragoner]

It makes me sad how overlooked the rockstars are... They are absolutely my favorites

[@IhaveseenShadowsatNight9]

Tbh the rockstars are my favourite. They have colourful personalities in many ways and could be interesting in many ways if they were shown more often, and it’s really sad how they are the most underrated band of all Fnaf, I hope they could get a little more attention in the series, maybe a fan game based entirely on them, or merch packs with t(e missing cast like Bonnie and chica but this is all just theory… A rockstar Theory!

[@SunshineCo225]

This is a small thing, but I find it fascinating that Rockstar foxy is both pretty chill and friendly, because of the fact that in most things in universe, he's seen as the weirdo loner and a grumpus. Granted the foxy we face is far more influenced by his haunting, but it's an interesting change. It implies some sanding off of his edge for the final locale

[@CherriBecker]

they were even overshadowed by the mediocre melodies, fnaf 6's fresh faces with some interesting lore implications, and by trash and the gang being a funny joke

[@llewelynshingler2173]

5:40: In her defence, William Afton was very well grilled at the time

[@chrisk6637]

Lmfao

[@squirrelmancer4620]

I always assumed that Funtime freddy wanted coins to fuel his cocaine addiction

[@DY-gb5jd]

When i heard scorched cranberries start playing in the background, i got super happy! Its my fave in the ost :] nice vid, btw!!

[@slivaczjp]

Rockstar animatronics are genuinely my most fav type of animatronics, there's just something about them that makes me like them

[@greenbean325]

Rockstar Freddy: that's alot of money ey can I have some money

[@_V.Va_]

"We're simply not told" is a good response for nearly every question one may have for FNAF Lore.

[@Bun-621]

Nahhhhh 1:22 caught me off guard. "Weren't oozing corpse wax out of their cracks"😭😭

[@marcosandrey5059]

Friendly reminder that the office section in FFPS takes place during the day which means if you bought lefty he out of nowhere goes full stop and crawls in a vent and if he suceeds he comes back with blood on his hands

[@pikaplay9066]

Something i noticed is that Rockstar Freddy somewhat resembles fredbear as depicted in the fnaf 4 minigames, with the metal rods for jaw movement as well as the purple hat and bowtie

[@lennyblox023]

at 9:03, there's actually a second difference that lefty and carnie have that rockstar Freddy doesn't. Lefty and Carnie have a slightly larger nose. Lefty's also a lefty but you could get that from the name.

[@CatZone985]

I love the designs of the rockstars, they’re the closest to uncanny valley besides the fnaf 1 designs, they’re usually cute, but under different lighting they become horrifying, rockstar bonnie especially

[@redjirachi1]

Timeline wise I almost wonder if they were the precursors to the Glamrock animatronics, like this was the company's first attempt at the concept. They just didn't take off as much as the Glamrock characters would. Now I am picturing Michael Afton making KZbin videos about how the Rockstar animatronics are underrated while he's waiting for Henry's plan to come together

[@GermanFFreddy]

You know what? From here on out, I am a die hard Rockstar fan.

[@zomrai]

my favorite rockstar is probably rockstar bonnie- he’s the most threatening to me personally and he just freaked me out so much to where i liked him!

[@captainet2457]

16:46 Yeah I agree unfortunately. But, that won’t stop me from loving them in UCN

[@CircusBunBun]

"Please deposit 5 coins" I love rockstar freddy ^^ he was even my first cosplay

[@Johnny10-man]

18:00 "Uncle Chuck the rodeo clown" caught me off guard so hard🤣🤣🤣
