3:14 - 3:27 and THAT is what Philosophers call the Theseus' Ship Paradox. If you have a ship, but replace every piece on that ship with new pieces, is it the same ship when not a single original piece remains? And what if the old parts are used to make a new ship (Funtimes under MoltenMCI?), which one is truly the ship of theseus??

[@martysnow7902]

They are technically the same but they look different because 1. The withereds suits would not been able to be repaired because the amount of blood that stained the inside of the suit so they had to re design the suits. and 2. Some of their endo parts would have to have been replaced because of age and probably blood Reminence as well.

[@Nobody_11111]

in the game its actually stated that fazbear entertainment tried to repair the old animatronics but stopped mid way and just used the old animatronics for spare parts to make the toy animatronics..

[@jolo6051]

I always thought that the reason they look different is because of what Afton did in the FNAF 3 minigames. See, I believe that Afton actually disasembled the animatronics before we play as Michael in FNAF 1. That way he can get the remnant from the endoskeletons he needs for the Funtimes in Sister Location. We can also tell that these are slightly older variations of the models since Freddy and Bonnie sport buttons on their design in the minigame when they don't have these buttons in FNAF 1 and we all know that Scott doesn't do coincidences. Of course, in doing this, he unknowingly frees the spirits of the children from their animatronic bodies and they take their revenge on Afton as he gets springlocked in his own suit. Now the kids are free from their animatronics bodies, but they don't actually have any peace or closure. So I don't think they actually leave the building. Instead, they stay in the building and they haunt that building. This could explain all of the 'halluciniations' we see in FNAF 1. It could be the ghosts trying to communicate with Mike, yes, but it could be even creepier if these things in the environment were ACTUALLY CHANGING thanks to the fact that the animatronic haunt the building. We see posters changing, writing on the walls, a circus organ playing and that easter egg in the backstage where the endoskeleton and all the heads turn to look at the camera could be explained as a hallucination OR those heads ACTUALLY MOVED because of the children now haunting the building. Of course, Fazbear Entertainment did have to put the animatronics back together again and this does explain why so many parts of the animatronic's endoskeleton is different since Afton would have taken a lot of their parts. Once the animatronics had basically almost been rebuilt from the ground up, the ghosts with nowhere else to go, haunt the animatronics again as that's really all they know. So they now haunt the characters AND the building. We can also see in the FNAF movie how they haunt the building as well as the characters as we see lights flickering to various characters' presence, doors closing and opening on their own, pots and pans being rattled around and heck the whole building literally comes crashing down thanks to their rage once they've springlocked Afton. So, in a way, they are still kind of the same robots. But they've literally had to be completely restored and improved thanks to what Afton did. That's partly why Freddy's would need a security guard even when the place is shut down since Fazbear Entertainment might think that what happened to the animatronics was because of some vandal that broke in to mess things up when we know it was actually Afton. It would also give another reason for Mike to go to the FNAF 1 location: to investigate Freddy's AND because it was his father's last known location.

[@doopo_]

I've never actually thought about the idea that the building itself was haunted. Mind you the FNAF1 building is the same building that the MCI happened in, so it makes sense for the children to haunt the building they were killed in, not just the animatronics.

Baby proofing the animatronics is a good way to explain the missing top set of teeth on the FNaF 1 models. If we imagine that they removed the top teeth to keep anymore kids (or unlucky dayshift guards) from meeting grizzly law suit ensuing death. Oh God I said grizzly AHH BEAR PUNS!

[@Billyblue98]

2:22 Small thing, but I'm fairly certain Fredbear wasn't retired before or probably during Fredbear's Family Diner Phone Guy is familiar with the old animatronics, but is less familiar with Fredbear's Family Diner The old restaurant the Withereds came from was probably a similar layout, or even the same building as what would later be used as the FNAF 1 location, since Phone Guy also mentions that the old location had doors for the office, unlike the FNAF 2 location

[@antonioscholten]

You know in the FNAF 4 minigame theres mask of the Unwithereds on the bully's heads? Probably the UN withereds were probably together with Fredbear and Springbonnie and were later used for a new location which is now FNAF 2.

Fnaf 2 takes place before fnaf 1, Scott Cawton changed the timelines💀

[@Lolguyhaha]

Just assume fnaf 2 one is a different timeline from fnaf 1 timeline and all things go different

[@tultrapfighter]

My theory is that the withered designs came after the fnaf 1 design, with the fnaf 1 being the original prototype designs and the withereds being a later design that ended up being used in fredbear's. Because the children died in the withered design, they would have went back to the original design because 1: they were safer and 2: fazbear entertainment wouldnt like new animatronics looking like the ones that (at least they knew) killed children and 3: they would have casings / parts for this design laying around. They used the withereds parts, because they were upgraded with better technology. This is why the fnaf 1 animatronics are still haunted and why both designs appear in promo art at the same time.

[@Jimmy-cg9db]

Years later after fnaf 2 was basically said to be a prequel somehow people don't know that.

[@AFnECRtDFtdd]

And it’s already stated in the game because it literally says itself that it takes place in 1987

[@thunderstudent]

Another possible explanation is while building the new suits and Endoskeletons, Fazbear Entertainment reused parts from the old suits and Endoskeletons or melted down what they couldn't into the parts they needed. But all of these parts would still have the remnant and souls of the kids inside. Also if the majority of their souls are inside the circuit boards which were probably fully reused it would make sense for them to inhabit a completely new suit and endoskeleton. This is something we see with Glitchtrap being at least partially Afton even if it isn't fully him. We see it again in Help Wanted 2 with Circus Baby in her levels. A large enough piece of them remained to essentially clone them digitally. But that's with damaged circuitry, back then the original animatronics wouldn't have had their circuitry as badly damaged. Maybe replaced a fuse or a capacitor here and there, clean up some oxidation and everything runs perfectly. I see this online with old electronic restorations where they take broken or non functional electronics ,specifically game systems and have them working as good or better than factory new. If we assume that the circuitry from the Withered Animatronics was reused completely with just a new endoskeleton then it makes sense. If the same hardware and software that was running the Withereds was simply transferred into the new suits and endoskeletons, they would still have the souls of the kids still attached to them.

[@a_random_soul_on_the_internet]

They are canonically the same Animatronics. The true and obvious explanation for why the designs are different is because Scott "upgraded" the designs of the classic Animatronics for the second game. Let us examine the material, from Dawko's interview and some Reddit posts we can understand that although Scott had a lot of experience when it comes to making models, Five Nights at Freddy's was very experimental. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 was more developed and throught out. We can see that when making the Withered Animatronics Scott gave them upper teeth, some buttons and other small detail to overhaul the designs. Some people could argue that the Withered Animatronics are different for lore reasons but just look at Springtrap and Afton ("Scraptrap"). They are canonically the exact same character but his design took a 360º between games. Scott is not consistent with designs and everyone knows that. Great video regardless. I love when people come up with theories to try and explain Scott's inconsistencies from a lore prespective! Edit: Fixed some grammar mistakes.

[@BoxtorBonnie]

But in the lore fnaf 2 took place before fnaf 1 so like that destroys the purpose of this

[@SuperBlueGamer9000]

​@PURPLEB1LL maybe the "retrofit" part has to deal with how they look as their upgrades would've invited them having upper teeth, bigger frameworks and more cartooney details however in the process they got scrapped and used as extra parts to Male the toys hence why they are left withered as they are incomplete

I feel like people just overthink this, modern technology can completely make this possible, all they did was rebuild specific parts of the shells AND endoskeletons using the old tech as just a base for more affordability options

[@eekturk4258]

My personal theory is pretty similar, after the 1987 location closed down with the toys being discarded and the withereds being kept around for a new location, Fazbear Entertainment redesigned the suits because the main reason why the withereds weren't used in the 1987 location was because "they were so ugly" as Phone Guy says, so they gave them a cuter and friendlier suit, they also made their jaws a lot more safer by having less power on the servos or pneumatics depending on what technology they used (realistically it would be pneumatics as that's what real animatronics use and they can be pretty powerful but Phone Guy mentions the fact that they use servos in FNAF 1, so maybe they either had servos all along or replaced pneumatics with servos.) one of the changes on their jaws was to remove the upper row of teeth on Freddy and Bonnie. These redesigns also made Freddy look less like Fredbear (who most likely looked more like the Withered Freddy design than the FNAF 1 Freddy design shown on UCN which makes zero sense if you think about it for more than 2 minutes) Fazbear Entertainment would reuse a lot of the metal parts on the original endoskeletons, which are the parts that the remnant holds onto in the first place so the kids' spirits would still be there. And like you said in the video, they disposed of the corpses found stuffed inside of the animatronics as Fazbear Entertainment reports dead people as "missing" and covers up their deaths. So in conclusion Fazbear Entertainment is evil and everyone involved with the company or it's decisions deserves to burn in hell for eternity expect maybe for the minimum wage workers like the cashiers and security guards.

[@andysimmons2438]

You know, if they were swapping out essentially haunted parts into new endoskeletons, which then kind of haunt the new endos, that would mean that whole "5 things turn into one thing" from the Candy Cadet would essentially be about Mangle. As I understand it, Mangle was an activity where the kids could take apart and put back together an animatronic, and if cost cutting was part of the business model, it would be reasonable to assume that other "spare parts" from the old haunted animatronics may end up in the parts bin for Mangle. This would then kind of spread the haunting around like a virus, going from original haunted animatronic, to mangle, to any part that came from Mangle and back into the rotation as repair parts. Maybe thats part of how the missing child incident and how many kids must have been killed can make sense.

Evidence supports that the withered animatronics had the bodies removed, and the animatronics in FNAF 1 had no bodies, and the reason (looks to) W foxy has a endo 02, is cause he has a edited endo for his ears, Chica is the only one who has a not edited FNAF 01 endo.

My thoery: People forget that animatronics are animatronics, which means they don't necessarily need to replace parts with completely new ones. What I mean is that an Endo 01 can become an Endo 02 using the entirety of the previous endo skeleton to create the new Endo, to which new technology is added. The same goes for the suits; the Withereds are exactly the same animatronics from FNAF 1 with the technology from FNAF 2 and vice versa. As for the bodies of the children, I don't believe that if a child dies and is placed inside an animatronic, the body remains inside it. I believe that the physical body, at the moment of possession, merges with the animatronic and leaves no traces of its existence. This means that even if the police had known they were inside, they would never have been able to recover them. Unlike Springtrap, who literally merged with the animatronic and therefore his physical body became part of the animatronic itself, like an endoskeleton. That's why his body didn't disappear when he was possessed.

I think that while the jr’s was open the corpse of the children have rotten away but they still had that smell to the suits. And before fnaf 1 they fixed the suits not into the fnaf 1 designs but fixed versions of the withered animatronics due to how in Fnaf 3 mini games bonnie and freddy have buttons, when William Afton destroyed them they rebuilt the animatronics with new friendlier designs.

[@Springtrap9064]

I have a possible answer for this: Maybe William afton changed the animatronics bodies and endos in 1993 so he wouldn't have taken out the spirits. Also I think the children souls are stuck into the animatronics endo because foxy had a broken stomach in fnaf 2 and we didn't see a single part of the child's body inside withered foxy. Yep that answers my question.

[@alfiewhitestone8676]

My theory: In 1987-1993, celebrate the grand re-opening of Freddy Fazbear’s (FNAF 2), the company stripped the withered animatronics parts, to either reuse or to use for comparison and scale. But when they DID reuse the parts, Remnant lingers inside of them. Causing the FNAF 1 animatronics to come to life.

Another thing I thought about with this idea, the whole "remnant" thing bein a huge ordeal now they could have made new molds for the endos, turned the older endos into the molten steel that still has the souls inside it, an forged the new endos with it. Cause we've seen that the remnant can survive for long periods of time an extreme heat. So all that happened is the souls were still trapped inside the robots but they got a new endo an some flashy covers. To me, it explains the sudden transformation between FNAF 1 an 2.

Personally I agree with the fact that the unwithered animatronics are the first versions of Freddy Bonnie Chica and Foxy because when the restaurants were first opened they opened a location called fredbear's Family Diner which consisted of fredbear and spring Bonnie but Henry and William decided to create some new characters for the restaurant so they created Freddy Bonnie Chica and Foxy and place them in a separate area in the restaurant they're kind of like Cabaret attractions in a way but after fredbear's Family Diner was shut down do you know the unwithered animatronics got their own location the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizza where the missing children's incident took place after that restaurant closed they opened a new one with toy animatronics after the FNAF 2 location closed they open a new location in 1993 with the animatronics from the first game

I have been enough fan ever of FNAF since the first game came out when I was a child, yet now as an adult one question that I had was never answered. It’s mentioned mentioned by phone guy in FNAF 1 that parents complained about both blood and mucus coming from the animatronics; however, in FNAF 2, it was mentioned that the withered animatronics were refurnished, meaning that Fazbear entertainment would have found the bodies of the missing children and disposed of them, which is why we don’t see the corpses of the missing children in FNAF 2 in the withered animatronics,(Withered Foxy being an example…). With that said, if the bodies were disposed of in FNAF 2, and the withered animatronics were kept because they were refurbished with advanced technology and made into the FNAF 1 animatronics, then how come parents complained about mucus and blood coming from the FNAF1 Animatronics? TLDR: If Fazbear entertainment disposed of the bodies in the withered animatronics before the gameplay of FNAF 2 took pace, and the FNAF 2 withered animatronics were made into the FNAF 1 animatronics, then why did the parents complain about the FNAF 1 one animatronics having blood and mucas coming from them?

[@tripledreigon6417]

I think that they remembered that foxy was a liability and scrapped him before he was finished, which is why is is like that in fnaf one

Oh my God, do people STILL get confused about this??? Come on! It's been almost 10 years! Tho to be fair, when replacement of endo parts is involved, the way the animatronics are possessed gets... a bit messy. Are the spirits attached to the actual endoskeletons, or merely to the characters in general? I think the latter is what happens if we want this idea to make sense. Otherwise, the spirits would be split between multiple parts and animatronics, aaaand it'd be the remnant biz all over again, and I don't like that.

[@itsMeeeeeh]

Also something your talking about is the scrapping of the withereds because if scrapping is done they would have to be disassembled correct? If that case then wouldn’t the workers find the blood or bits of the dead children? Since william was in-charge of the old restaurant hence he didn’t want anyone to find out about him stuffing kids inside the animatronics since bones can’t really disappear also the phone guy talking about the bite of 87 ( either toy bonnie or mangle) which takes place AFTER FNAF 2 explaining that FNAF 2 takes place before FNAF 1 even tho the FNAF 2 game was released after FNAF 1 the lore here is extremely important stating that in this case FNAF 2 is before FNAF 1 (if im wrong about anything let me know edit: also some of the workers maybe did not know about the bodys but since its been a few years the bone or some of the flesh may remain so they could’ve called it in and instead used some of the not blood covered casing and recycled into the FNAF 1 animatronics still correct me if im wrong (1% chance of me responding)

[@charlottebrennan3825]

Phone guy actually talks about the bite of 87 in fnaf 1 which proves this wrong😅

[@OfficialChicas_Cupcake]

They should’ve attatched me to chica’s arm cause i dont like being a prize on a shelf >:{

[@Rusty660]

This is my theory. I think that after William broke the animatronics in fnaf 1. That when fnaf 2 came out they found the old parts and used the ones that had soul in them and tried to fix them but couldnt. After finding out they couldnt fix the withers, they scrapped them to use them for the toys, (Note the fnaf 1 animatronics were damaged in the breaking from william so they did get scuffed up) that is my theory. Thank you.

[@VolvoxUsagiVT]

i have another theory for the endo. they melted it down, took the technology out of them, recasted the endo with the same metal they melted and put the technology back in.

[@TwistedAnimatronic]

Like the moltenMCI

[@Hypnosis-Brookhaven]

There’s something weird……. In fnaf 1 they mentioned the bite of 87 which happened in fnaf 2… but fnaf 2 had to have been after fnaf 1 since the withereds are fnaf one animatronics 🤔

[@dannybiv860]

It’s actually impossible for the withered to be the same animatronics as the animatronics in fnaf 1 because fnaf 2 takes place BEFORE fnaf 1

Great theory but, the MCI happened 2 years, or maybe more, before they remodeled the withereds so im oretty sure that the bodies had decomposed by then, so fazbear didn't saw the bodies of the children there

[@antonioscholten]

And the reason why the FNAF 1 and 2 animatronics (FNAF 2 withereds) looks so differen tis because Fazbear Entertainment want to recreate the Unwithereds/Withereds but more kid - friendly and addicted to the children, because Henry thought the Unwithereds looked too scary, thats why they were scrapped.

[@Hazel0rth3Light]

If you forgot for withered chica, Twisted Animatronic. You might have known that she might have not been at Fredbear's family diner, but instead at the other restaurant for the mediocre melodies because there used to be a yellow t-posing chicken.

[@aurorialgaming1935]

So one thing about the jaws on the withereds. Fnaf2 takes place in 87, potentially ending with the bite. Wouldnt it make sense for them to change the jaws on their animatronics after that?

[@aurorialgaming1935]

Hey I predicted what you would say! Sweet!

[@edmpunkfire7793]

Well, I think that the endoskeletons were fixed up and upgraded. The metal is the source of remnant that let the kids possess the animatronics, after all. And of course, the casing was changed to help with that too And I believe that either theh didn't report the bodies, or William discarded their bodies

[@Colinasada11]

Only problem with this theory is golden freddy. We know golden freddy is merely a ghost/hallucination so how would that work in your context? Everything else makes sense but for now we dont know how cassidy would be in a different suit

In FNAF 4 minigames, We can see both Endo-01 and Endo-02 in “Part & Service” room when Crying Child is trapped inside it. Keep it in mind, Endo-02 is Springlock Endoskeleton and that can explain “Fredbear & Friends” TV shows in FNAF 4 minigames While Endo-01 is An endoskeleton that purely use for An Animatronics

[@UniformPlayz]

3:05 my theory is that after the 1993 pizzeria opened the puppet took the souls from the withereds then put them inside the ones we see in fnaf 1

[@JamieA-nv7oh]

Another idea is that Scott wanted to make a new design so people won’t get bored of the old ones…

[@hsandco9560]

Theres a pretty well recieved theory that the fnaf 3 mini game where purple guy disassembles the animatronics is him taking the endos for the funtimes, i personally do not believe that one. But thinking about that with this context: Fazbear entertainment swapped out endo parts feom the original endos with new ones, disgarding the old parts, but purple guy takes those old parts with rhe remnant in them and uses THOSE for the funtimes. As for what i think that minigame is for then? Probably the original MCI, or something that happens AFTER fnaf 1

Scott cooked so hard with the Withereds designs that they became new animatronics.

[@crusader7713]

Maybe William Afton upgraded them himself so thats why it wasn’t reported.

[@ajxiye]

The withereds are just the Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy from FFD that’s why they look different

[@Pygargue00fr]

Here's the ACTUAL reason behind the differences in design: Scott dosn't actually reuses models between projects unless it has relevence for the plot, and commits to always create a new model for each projects. This is why Scraptrap looks nothing like Springtrap. This is why Molten dosn't look like Ennard at all. This is why golden Freddy in fnaf 1 and 2 dosn't have five fingers. This is why Fredbear and Spring Bonnie's hats and bowties change colors between games, movie and books. And this is why the withered looks nothing like the fnaf 1 designs, even trought the books suggest that in the very first freddy's location (the one from 1985 were they origninated from, wich isn't Fredbear's) looks like the fnaf 1 designs. They went from fnaf 1, to fnaf 2, to fnaf 1 again. Why? Because Scott just dosn't care. It has no revelance to the story in any ways. This is also why the dream squences in fnaf 2 were you see from Freddy's perspective the animatronics are the fnaf 1 designs, they were in the original freddy's that opened in 1983 and closed in 1985. Hence why the puppet was present into theses dreams. Comfirming that the "Give the gift of life" minigame isn't just a symblolic gesture. Why? Because in the game's timeline. William didn't stuff the kids. She did to give them life. Wich is different from both games and books, because there's not even a puppet in them. Also, the story was changed.

[@TheAmazingPeterB]

They took apart the some of the Withered Animatronic parts and used them for the fixed versions of the OG cast

The thing adout the different endos , I have a most suitable theory the in the books of the fazbear frights or something else we can to now about remenent which is a metal in which the souls are trapped when that metal is melted and could be injected into any thing to give them life which was found by William Afton to bring the crying child to life and did those experiments with the children who where killed
