Are The Withereds and FNaF 1 Animatronics Really the Same? - FNaF Theory

Ойындар

We've been told for nearly a decade now that the Withered animatronics get refurbished into the FNAF 1 animatronics, but is this really true or is this another lie made up by Fazbear entertainment?

    That's a good point. My response to that would be that fazbear lied to everyone and said they were the same animatronics probably so they could get away with paying the night guard minimum wage and save money since it was supposed to be a lesser budget anyway.

    Redesign. That's it - that's the whole reason for why they look different. Redesigns have been a common thing in FNAF for such a long time(Springtrap to Scraptrap changes, Baby to Scrap Baby, the new redesigns in VR games and the constantly changing minigame sprite designs for the same characters being the peak of this situation). Scott has been redesigning some animatronics any time his soul feels like redesigning, so the withered-classic differences may be just the earliest example of this situation. Scotty doesn't like doing retcons, but he seems to like doing redesigns.

    @German_Empire_Enjoyer I'm pretty sure OP is talking about the designs in general, not the withering on them. In-universe, they were used for parts and left to rot. In reality, the canon designs are of the originals in FNAF 1. The reason why the Withereds look so drastically different from the previous models (including the endos) is simply due to Scott not wanting to do the same thing twice, AKA redesign.

    @treyvonlavell7334

    Ай бұрын

    @German_Empire_Enjoyer ...So they're the same animatronics then? Them being completely and totally rebuilt into the originals makes less sense than just being repaired with better suits and endo parts. The Withereds and Classics, despite being the same robots, are different models. They have different suits and endoskeletons. You can't just rebuild something into another thing without changing it entirely. Because of this, it's more likely that they're just redesigns of the previous versions, just more broken and deteriorated.

    @German_Empire_Enjoyer They _are_ the same characters, though. Them being refurbished into the Classics clearly means that they were one and the same, just withered and broken looking beforehand. Their possessed by the same spirits and stuffed in the same suits. What I'm saying is that the changes people are talking about aren't lore important. The differences between the Withereds (black buttons, disconnected jaws, new endos, stocky proportions, uglier details, etc.) and the Classics are an out-of-universe redesign choice made by Scott.

    @German_Empire_Enjoyer Using your logic, Scraptrap isn't Springtrap because they have different suits. Dude, you are literally saying that the Classics and Withereds aren't the same because they "look different". Every single character in this franchise has and is prone to get a redesign, yet you call out the OGs specifically? Also, the term "refurbished" means to renovate and redecorate something. Withered Freddy was simply repaired and fixed into Classic Freddy. They are factually the same character. Hell, the newspaper that says that even states the old animatronics will be reused for another location, reinforcing my point.

    @German_Empire_Enjoyer I would understand that, but the fact that their endos are different as well makes things complicated. It wouldn't make sense if they were rebuilt, because none of Endo 02 is used in Endo01's design, meaning that they're completely different models yet somehow contain the same spirits.

It was either make them run off the Mimic or make some part of each animatronic not get melted down and that part just so happens to be used in the new animatronic making them haunted again. To me, it seemed like one was more likely to happen but less likely to be accepted by the community and vise versa for the other.

    The newspaper never says they are getting revamped. It says they are getting kept in the hopes of a reorganization of the company. They want to keep them because they know these animatronics work and they'll be working with a smaller budget if they can manage to open again. Now if something happens to the animatronics before the new location opens, let's say William steals them to make nightmare experiments and funtime animatronics, then the company would be forced to make new animatronics for the new location or be forced to shut down for good.

    Good theory. The FNAF2 withered animatronic for sure were used in the FNAF4 experiments, but i don't think the FNAF1 animatronics are necessarily Mimic program for a simple reason. Scott didn't put any "mimic" during those times in any kind of media (nor the games, nor the books, nor the guides). I could plausibly think that the FNAF2 toy animatronics were use in some kind of way to make the FNAF1 animatronic (not only bc they are the most similar ones but they could be other endo 01 animatronics put into the case of the refactored Toy animatronics (thats why they would lack the facial recognition technology, but also because the puppet didn't follow them, when the puppet is usually trying to take care of the souls of the childrens). I would argue that you are almost alone in the office of FNAF1, only being haunted by golden freddy who is kinda absurd when it comes to powers (since he don't need an endo to haunt someone).

    Yeah and FNaF 1 took place on 1993 (as its shown on the check at the end) and FNaF 2 was in 1987 (shown the same way FNaF 1 show it's date) so withered animatronics were made either during FNaF 4 (or Fredbear's family diner if you want to go by pizzerias, 1983) or around 1985 after the bite of 83 (where the crying child dies in Fredbears mouth) and the withered are the ones possesed, them the "old Freddy's" closed and they ysed withereds as spare parts for toys which could explain why they also move alongside withereds at night, then toys were scrapped completely after location from FNaF 2 got shut down snd they reused withereds to either upgrade them and change their suits to be the FNaF 1 animatronics or they were scrapped and destroyed like the toys and Fazbear Entertainment ysed some of the parts from withered animatronics while building the new models which is why FNaF 1 animatronics are possesed.

    Great theory but it has ONE problem… the Nightmare animatronics were most likely created around the time 1983 because of the home that we are in during the near bite of 83, the Withered animatronics were in the time of 87 which couldn’t be possible unless the Withered’s were made BEFORE the Nightmares were made. The evidence given seems to be more around the Sister Location animatronics but the code pad that is near the Fredbear plush needs the code “1983” which shows the cameras to FNAF 4, this implies that Sister Location was created after Fredbear’s Family Diner was built. Which means that the Withered’s couldn’t be made AFTER the bite of 1987, the Nightmare’s seem more newer than the Withered’s. If anyone doesn’t believe this theory, than try to figure out on your know.

    @@GuadiansOfTheUniverse No idea, but I recently saw a video talking about the entire fnaf storyline from fnaf 4 all the way to security breach, and the guy said that William Afton implemented the nightmare animatronics in the kid's head to scare him away from getting close with any animatronics so that the kid didn't get killed by one like how Elizabeth got killed previously. And he also mentioned that William Afton put secret cameras in the kid's room to monitor him or something like that. It was all strange to me.

    Thank you! I do think dittophobia says that they are blank mannequins, but to me, it makes more sense that the gas would make intense nightmares of what you are already seeing. Otherwise, how would the kid see different animatronics at each door and not just see the same ones. Obviously, there is no real evidence for this, but it just logically makes sense to me. Also, Scott originally said there weren't Easter eggs in fnaf 4 because they had meaning behind them, and the designs matching feels like it's one of these choices that had a meaning.

    I think Fnaf 4 is the crying child having a nightmare after being put into a coma. That is the most obvious one. The child got is frontal lobe bitten off, which caused him to go into a coma. In the coma, he is forced to relive the same nightmare until he wakes up (or dies). I think that surviving against the animatronics is the crying child's way of clinging to life. I also think that if he dies in the nightmare, he dies in real life.

    Your questions in the beginning of the videos that lead to this theory can be debunked pretty easily. The withereds aren’t in the blob because 2 things, first, the withereds are the fnaf 1 animatronics, second, the animatronics in the blob aren’t the real animatronics from fnaf 1 and all that, the blob is the mimic’s victims possessing the endo parts and stealing parts from rockstar row that aren’t parts from the possessed animatronics because they were molten into the Funtimes. We never saw the withereds again in any game because fazbear ent doesn’t want for the public to know about them, why would you advertise broken robots in your restaurants? “Why does normal Bonnie is missing his face in pizza party?” I’ve seen a theory that I believe in that states that the fixed withereds never existed. Also, if the fnaf 1 animatronics weren’t possessed then why would fnaf 3 have the fnaf 1 animatronics in pieces instead of the withereds?

    I really think that he melted the toy animatronics down to make the funtime animatronics. Because, where did the DCI go after FNaF 2? Scrapped just means that they were withered, so they could still be possessed. We already know that the MCI victims’ souls were released in FNaF 3, so the DCI victims’ souls would’ve been released from Molten Freddy in FNaF 6. Not to mention that the funtime and toy animatronics have many physical similarities (compare Funtime foxy with mangle). And if FNaF 4 happened after 1987, then how does the bite of 83 exist? But your theories are quite interesting. Another nice video!

    I agree with most of this. Some issues with this theory: The fnaf1 animatronics are ABSOLUTELY haunted, since they can teleport, manipulate the environment, and do other ghostly stuff. Plus, Afton gets springlocked before he can take the suits themselves. To correct these issues, I've created what I call the Endo01-02 Theory. This theory suggests that the Classic suits and Endo02s were used in the first Freddy's. Then in 1987, the old haunted costumes were put into storage and upgraded with new tech and new suits to match, but they turned out too ugly, so they're scrapped for parts. Then when that location closes down, they're taken back to their original location and fixed up with more new Withered-type suits (we know spares exist thanks to the Withered Freddy head in fnaf2). Then Afton comes in and Follow Me happens in 1988. He takes their haunted endo02s and melts them down to fuse into his Funtimes. Then Afton gets springlocked and is sealed away. Fazbear Entertainment compensates by building some quick and easy Endo01s and giving them back their original haunted suits. Then fnaf1 can happen. Then the fnaf4 experiments use the original Withered costumes in 1987-1988. Then Dittophobia takes place in 1998. Then Sister Location in 2003ish. Then FE cleans out the bunker, and they discover some old remains, including Withered Foxy's arm, which would eventually end up at Fazbear's Fright in 2015. And that's my solution. Hope it makes sense!

    "those are from the previous location, and we just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them... uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? And the smell" is what I think the actual reason is. It's not some insane plot including a character that didn't exist until like 2 years ago, the fnaf 1 costumes were their original costumes (explaining the fnaf 2 cutscenes and fredbear) being altered and retrofitted with new technology (making them uglier) and then they were broken because they were being used for parts. Then for fnaf 1's opening they just fixed them up just used old, spare costumes they’d presumably have due to both Fnaf 1 and 4’s backrooms having extra costumes. Also the Fnaf 1 location is haunted. Like it’s SUPER haunted (have you ever actually played that game like it is the most paranormal in the series) TLDR: this guy is wrong. The withereds are just half refurbished and messed up versions of the fnaf 1 designs because those were the ones used in the earliest Freddy’s seen in the fnaf 2 cutscene which explains why golden Freddy looks like Fnaf 1 Freddy despite being fredbear.

    This is an interesting theory. I can add something to it that may help some parts of it make more sense or work better. The Witherdes, basically the 1983-1985 FE location's animatronics, but worn out from neglect, are the ones that are hunted. Ghosts, when possessing a human shaped robot, will attempt to use that robot body as they would a human body. The robots have 2 arms, 2 legs, 2 cameras that function as eyes, 2 mics that fucntion as ears, and a voicebox/speaker that functions as a mouth, and internal computers that take the place of a brain. The ghosts try to store their human and ghost memories in the internal permanent storage, and try to use the CPU, graphics chip and other computer components on the motherboard to think. The computers are rudimentary early 80s tech, so their processing power and audio and visual resolution are limited. So the ghosts only have animal intelligence to work with. Thus "they are like animals." All this ghost data being stored though, becomes part of the programming and dataset for the witherds, and it's likely that when they get any routine maintenance, before the place closed down, that would have included full system backups, thus creating a backup of the stored ghost-animatronic combo data. If the mimic does exist at this point in the timeline, and in the games, this code from the withereds may have been used to train the mimic AI, this making it mimic the haunted behaviour of the witherds, and also pick up the ghost data set, including memories and personalities. This theory can also explain how Afton can be burned into oblivion, yet still return as Glitchtrap and Burntrap. It's not the soul of Afton, but the digital imprint of his soul's memories and personality, maybe again combined with the Mimic code to cause the mimic to mimic a computer virus as that's what Afton's deranged personality is most like, and maybe another copy of the Mimic AI to be taught using the AI leftovers of Cassidy and mimicing an antivirus, as Cassidy's big thing is to punish Afton, and what's more pushing to a virus then the software designed to detect and remove viruses?

    fnaf 4 is the first game in cronologichal order, fnaf 2 is the second, third fnaf sister location,fourth fnaf 1 which after the events of fnaf william gets springlocked, fnaf 3 that is 2023, fnaf pizzeria sim, help wanted, and finally fnaf security breach, the reason fnaf 1 and fnaf 2 animatronics is to different is probably because the fnaf 4 animatronics have been destroyed by william after the bite of 83, but they not have been totally destroyed, this makes sense because in 1993 which are the fnaf 1 events, william destroy the animatronics to put an end to the proves that he is an assasin, he destroyed every single pizzeria, but then he found her fate in fnaf 1 been springlocked, but what explain why is nightmare animatronics is different even though the design is really like fnaf 2?, the disturbed and depressed mind of a 7 years old named crying child, when you have a disturbed mind your brain makes images of what is not real of turn normal things to other, and after all, its all a nightmare

    This is great. Video and I love the theory although If there are few key points I need to make here, One being that yes the fun times were created after Fazbears is as closed as if we listened a hand unit, "Due to the unfortunate closing of Freddy Fazbears It was clear that the stage was set. No pun intended for another competitor in robotics entertainment!" While it isn't word for word, it gets the point across. Afton clearly created the Funtimes after Fazebears had closed, and from what we've seen from blueprints, the Funtimes WERE designed to kidnap. Each has a different. Tactic to lure the kid and parents away from each other as far as possible. Circus Baby was the "final stop." And moving to FNAF 1. I believe the mimic part mostly but I'm going off of Cassidy being the revenge full spirit legit broke the rules and existed even without an Endo as they were tied to the shell that was kept in a spare room. This means that all those "Its me" moments and such have a following reason AND allow for you to keep the mimics and support it. I believe all the hallucinations are caused by Cassidy using a fraction of her absurd powers to try and scare you either away or to death, utalizing the mimic protocal to deal with the dead body.... mostly.

    this sounds stupid, but i think freddy and foxy where indeed reused, but that bonnie an chica got thrown in the dumpster because of their extensive damage. Hear me out, Freddy and foxy would only need some restored casing and some rewiring to get into working order, but bonnie and chica had parts missing or broken beyond repair and that those parts where not being made anymore because the designs are old, so think bonnie and chica might still be in some trash hill

    fnaf 4 takes place in 1983, we can see that by the TV show in the aftons house, "Fredbear and Friends: 1983" Fnaf 4 takes place after the fredbear bite '83. The withereds don't go to either fnaf 4 or fnaf sl. In fnaf 4, those animatronics are simply hallucinations are horrid recreations of what the crying child sees them as In fnafsl those are completely different animatronics with special abilities built into them This just hurt to watch ALSO, the books aren't considered to be cannon entirely, Scott stated that the books are simply just a reimagining of the story also also, the withered animatronics look different because FNAF 2 takes place in 1987 which would have an older style to them, and FNAF 1 takes place around 1993, which means that there would be newer models with the newer years. The only reason why the animatronics are possessed isn't because those are the suits that the kids were stuffed into, its because some of the parts used to make the FNAF 1 animatronics were salvaged from the withereds, and those were the ones that the kids were stuffed into, and their souls couldn't leave the suits until they have been put to rest Something else I realized while watching the rest of this video: during sl, with the funtime repairs, you can hear a constant high pitch beeping sound. Those are the allusion discs shown in one of the books, I know I said that Scott stated the books aren't entirely canon but here me out, we get to straight up SEE one of the discs within funtime freddy, we just didn't know what it was at the time With the toy animatronics looking at the parents and not the kids is because they have a facial recognition program to stop William from killing anymore kids, they can most likely tell the difference between a kid and an adult. in the beginning newspaper, you can see that it is the grand reopening of the franchise after the first establishment years prior due to a child murder. The reason why the fnaf 1 animatronics DON'T have the facial recognition is because they were built off of the withereds which didn't have that technology since they most likely weren't going to be present during the day NOTE: I haven't read any of the books so correct me if I'm wrong, most of my books information comes off of what people have told me and what I have seen covered by game theory

    People still debate this, huh? Anyways, it's clear what actually happens. They were redesigned to look like the animatronics from Five Nights 1. At the end of Five Nights 2 it is stated that the toy animatronics would be scrap due to the errors including the bite that occur at the restaurant. It is also mentioned the old models, in case the withered animatronics, would kept in the hopes of a reorganization of the company. They would reuse the withered now redesigned as the animatronics in Five Nights 1. The withered were deemed to be "too scary for the kids" to begin with and the murders didn't help their case either. That's why the toys look so friendly and why they've got such high technology and safety protocols. Also, in the first Fazbear Frights book: "Into The Pit". Our main character Oswald goes back in time to 1985 in which a Freddy's location was open. I believe this location is where the withered come from. We know that it takes place before Five Nights 2 but doesn't take place before Five Nights 4 with Fredbear's. The nightmares aren't possible because they're simply illusions. However, we do see a TV Show in Five Nights 4 showcasing Fredbear with the other characters such as Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. We also knew they somewhat existed based off the masks the bullies are shown equipped with in the game. We know that the withered were now used for parts for the toys and they'd likely function but hardly, and we for sure know the animatronics from Five Nights 1 are in fact, possessed. They would've had to shutdown because of not only children being scared of them, but also the horrific killings that take place in the pizzeria. Finally, this isn't too far off from what actually happens with locations like Chuck E Cheese did. This is something called "Concept Unification". In which Chuck E. Cheese's partners up with the Showbiz Pizza Place Company and began phasing out the Rock-afire Explosion with Munch's Make Believe Fan. Keep in mind the mechs of the characters were never replaced, but rather they're SKINS. That would explain why the withered look different in Five Nights 1. Keep in mind at the end of the day their suits ARE suits and can be removed and I believe it's happening here. That's why the Five Nights 1 are also still possessed. They're the same endos with different skin. They were refurbished and remodeled like any other animatronic could be.

    Bro i've been saying that for a while! FNAF 4 designs are very clearly based off the Withereds, even if it was just a design choice canon wise it makes sense because they would look like that so the nightmares would look closer to that. And that design thing with the sprites was something i only noticed after ID's Fantasy brought it up and i completely agree, i heard someone say it could be also the adventure Freddy design wise but that makes no sense and i don't think that's a good argument really. I also heard that the fnaf 1 animatronics even though they can be the same, i also heard the idea that they were possessed by agony and not fully spirits. That works but the only issue is the FNAF 3 ending that shows they also possess the casing, either way i believe they are the same animatronics and that they didn't fully leave. I mean even the books show they can possess multiple things somewhat at the same time. So honestly if we were to use the withereds control the toys idea instead of the toys being possessed that can work too. But i like this theory and i think it works and can be right depending on how you look at it, however i do not agree with the mimic thing.

    Cool theory, but phone guy quite literally states that they’ve been smelling funny so it’s impossible for them to not be haunted. I think it’s just either a plot hole, or it is the retcon because the games went from supernatural horror to sci-fi horror starting with Sister Location and that’s why. But honestly I think it is just a new casing with the same skeleton and that the fnaf 4 animatronics are where the mimic program fits into pre-Steel Wool games but that’s just a theory, a theory of a random guy on the internet!!!

    Assuming the theory of Afton preferring hinged jaws in his animatronics designs and Henry piston jaws like seen in Wither Chica, it would explain why the nightmare experiment - seemingly a project only William Afton would be involved - has the similar piston jaw design on Nightmare Chica, the withered ones were used in the nightmare experiments. Just this fact alone would seemingly explain this odd design choice.

    An observation I made is that in UCN, we find out that Fredbear looks almost identical to FNaF1 Freddy, as opposed to the wider fan designs based on the nightmare version. So I always had the thought that FNaF1 Freddy and Bonnie were repaired using old Fredbear suit pieces rather than their original (withered) suits. It doesn’t really explain Chica and Foxy, but most of Chica’s suit parts look very similar, so it’s entirely possible that they only got new versions of what they absolutely had to (I.e. the structurally important feet and irreparably broken jaws) and kept the rest the same. As for Foxy, well, whatever fixes they made for him clearly didn’t last him very long anyways, so maybe he just had newer, cheaper suit parts since he wasn’t part of the main band, got considered low-priority, and the lack of spare suit parts is why he’s out of order.

    I think the main reason the nightmares are the only ones that share similarities to the withered animatronics is because none of them were real, I believed Scott confirmed that fnaf 2 was all in the mind of the crying child. And the toy animatronics was from a little girl with toy versions of the classics in one of the fnaf 4 mini games.

    That I am also trying to figure out. My conclusion so far is that Henry was the one who was fired, and William kept working at fazbear, allowing him to be the one working on the animatronics, and thus, move the bodies without anyone else noticing.
