Excited for this theory

Ok so this may sound weird but my theory is that Bonnie is possessed and so are the pat pats The screaming voices when you disable them is the spirits being freed (possibly the kills by vanny ) and Bonnie can’t rest until the spirits can rest . Who possesses Bonnie I don’t know but here we are and I think that the theory is pretty good

Bonnie’s design is so weird. It doesn’t match the other Glamrocks. Sure, Roxy has clothes, but not like Bonnie. And why does Bonnie have an exercise band or whatever that is along with hair? Bonnie in RUIN is just weird.

Alr

I don't think we should eliminate the fact Vanny could still have a motive in eliminating Bonnie- in fact, here's another hot take not a lot of people are considering: All the Glamrocks have their upgrades, but Bonnie's fingers show no claws. Freddy even has claws... but Bonnie doesn't, nor does Chica and she can SHRED. Its quite possible Bonnie could still have claws but heck if we know what's what in he franchise missing some details. But I digress. I want to talk to talk about a different feature Bonnie could potentially have, given he didn't have claws: Maybe he had augmented hearing? He is a RABBIT after all. And seeing as their creators gave all the Glamrocks special animal-like features in some retrospect, perhaps the acute hearing could help in another facet. Now hear me out a second (no pun intended, I swear!): With good enough hearing, perhaps Bonnie could probably help gently correct the Glamrocks with rhythm and literally keep an ear out for any missing notes or beats during performances (seeing as drummers, which they lack, usually help keep rhythm in some cases). This is a very important role in music to keep a certain pace and beat. Otherwise, songs can come out messy and fray. Now with this in mind, Bonnie's own side affect to this augmented feature could be that he hears weird things. For instance: the weird clanging around in the vents. The clanging in the vents can be attributed to the missing little music men, true, but keep in mind its possible Vanny uses the vents too, seeing as there's one in Fazerblast that leads to her hideout and it looked used, as observed by Gregory. As it is, Vanny may potentially use the vents to navigate the PizzaPlex and stay out of sight of both human employees at first and Roxy, whose eyes COULD see her as a threat early on. While this above part is a stretch, I wouldn't completely eliminate it. Anyways, maybe you can already see where I'm going with this? Bonnie could've been the one to notice the weird noises, report it, and then started looking around for Vanny. After all, we did see that some low-budget air conditioning contractor had been summoned to the PizzaPlex before in one of the notes. They found nothing, apparently. Anyways, its possible Bonnie got too nosy and performed this investigation on his own, following the banging in the vents around and not wanting to involve his friends since apparently he cares about them and wouldn't characteristically want to mix them up with a possible threat. He started listening for the weird noises, and managed to find Vanny, maybe, and tried reporting her. Now there's another thing to consider: There was a couple notes that also say there was a DISTRESS CALL from the PizzaPlex itself and the cops showed up. Vanessa turned them away. Keep this detail in mind. Now also consider the fact Vanessa cut Freddy off from the main server at the beginning of the game. If she can do that to Freddy, then its not impossible to imagine that, after Bonnie started investigating her and discovered something, she got nervous and offed him, despite the fact his disappearance is rather high profile and messily done. Bonnie vanishing was obviously noticeable and felt, and it had people asking about him for WEEKS. Vanessa would've had to remove him hastily and FAST, but she also would've had to cut him from the main server so he CAN'T send anymore distress signals to other staff and management. And no more impromptu police investigations while she's committing all this crime. Her work wasn't exactly low profile, as we see in-game. But she had to cut down a lot of people, and a Glamrock like Bonnie wasn't out of the question if he started hearing or seeing weird things. Its quite possible Bonnie knew too much. As to how she dispatched him, I wager she could've used Monty to do it since its not like she can dispose of the animatronic rabbit herself bare-handed. Monty has always been unstable... so her hacking him and using him as a guinea pig for this hacking and using him to off Bonnie seems to fall within the realms of plausibility. This hacking however has ramifications: creating this instability in Monty that we see in-game. Its possible Monty's always been a little wild, but who the heck knows at this point? There's a lot more little bread crumbs that we tend to write off- but I feel like SteelWool placed all these extra weird notes for a reason. This theory above I figured tied his disappearance together in some part... as to the little wet floor bots, I can only assume those were both staff and children. After all, the newspaper stated that 'disappearances CONTINUE to happen'. As in, its been on-going for a while and there's no confirmed number of victims officially for us to know. SteelWool omitted this exact number for a reason, I think. Perhaps to leave it to interpretation for the fans. Still. All this death would definitely intrigue a curious enough Glamrock with good senses. I wouldn't doubt the others would've start to notice after a point... which is maybe why she started doing this hacking in the first place; a kind of protection from curious bots. ...I am also so sorry this is so long, omg. I wanted to shorten this but a lot of my train of thought would be misconstrued as stupidity, I feel if I didn't explain some things. I just wanted to provide evidence to some of my thoughts and it just... blew up. I apologize to anyone who was intimidated by the lengthy writing but I also thank any who bother going through it!

Good point! If we assume this, then that clears up the fact that the staff bots screams are too young to be the workers. Thats because the screams arnt coming from the bots, however the worker spirits are still staring at you. The child screaming is coming from the spirits of the recent missing children, and as you pointed out, might actually be a lot more missing than we thought, which makes the 'chorous' of voices more plausible - not just the limited amount on the list. Either that, or we are hearing Charlie in the background of the pizzaplex.

Wait did no one notice that? I thought everyone saw it

Ooo that’s a interesting perspective.

That's a fair point

they would also be some of the only people to actually know what happened to bonnie

i mean most people don't find bonnie so it's debatable if finding and deactivating bonnie is canon, cause cassie's focus is finding gregory not the wet floor bots.

and the five dead kids were never given backstories or expanded upon, they just existed and it’s probably gonna be the same for those 32 kids

@@kathryn74 32 workers*

I agree that fnaf was better when it was simpler, but I will say that real serial killers have had shocking numbers of victims, so that part isn't really outlandish.

Maybe they have some kind of software to perfectly mimic the missing people voices to have them call the family and pretend they are running off. Maybe letters written in their handwriting. Fake photos of them off somewhere else before they go missing. Etc. I mean this is in the future and we already have deep fakes now. who is to say fazbears (who have been ahead of the game with technology) couldnt make it indistinguishable? I mean. I get it. Even in the beginning ( the earlier games) you got to question why did no one get suspicious of rotting corpse smelling animatronics? You have to rationalize that maybe the bodies were removed when suspicion got big. Then by that time the smell remained but no bodies. But at the same time bodily fluids would still be present. There would be something suspicious about that. So you just got to assume people dumb in a small town lol. This is definitely harder to rationalize. I'm just trying to rationalize this best I can.

I agree, I think Scott and SteelWool forgot that this originally took place in Hurricane, Utah. A place that has a population of about 20,000. There would be no reason for there to be a big mega-mall with crazy sci-fi robots and AI workers there.

Lmao valid tho

I'm glad you think so!

​@@RyeToastThe numbers and general concept of the wet floor bots and Bonnie being possessed work. Perhaps, there may be more evidence/reason to the Bonnie possession specifically. Her father may have not finished making additional security nodes by the time of his death. In possessing Bonnie he could be able to somewhat override/overpower the Glitchtrap virus too. So perhaps in the lead up to Security Breech he may have already died and possessed Bonnie. Vanny may have seen seen his odd behaviour in his movement around the Pizza Plex after hour's as a potential threat to her objectives. Glitxhtrap may have even tipped Vanny off about him adding these additional security nodes, even if they were not directly impeding Glitchtrap himself; Glitchtrap may have suspected they were being built up to become a potential prison attempting to be built in secret due to the lockout functionality. Perhaps there may be some security nodes, broken or intact, near where Bonnie is found. It seems that a Fazwrench is required to disassemble the nodes, is there any sign of one near Bonnie? Perhaps even a broken one or something similar in appearance modified into his body? None the less, it's quite probable that Vanny & Glitchtrap were able to disable the Bonnie animatronic as a result of it acting without their instruction. Given Bonnie Bowl was Bonnies themed area, his claws were also likely suited for bowling as well as playing bass. So if similar claws were retrofitted to another animatronic, then it stands to reason they would be able to have the same qualities. Maybe there is some indication that Bonnie's legs were struck (pun intended) by a high speed bowling ball. As this would be a great method of catching Bonnie, or rather the soul possessing Bonnie, by surprise while also limiting his ability to get away from his attacker. Are the other areas of damage to Bonnie consistent with claw or bowling ball, perhaps even Bass, impact damage? Just spitballing ideas, possible leads to follow etc. Great video, would be interesting to see if there is any more contextual evidence or environmental information that's consistent with the idea.

​@@soulsurvivor8293 nice essay 😂

Frankly, I don't know if we need to evidence pointing to 32 distinct children that went missing at the Pizzaplex in order to assume that said number is possible. The pizzaplex is vast, much more so than any previous FazEnt establishment, thus, the number of dead/missing children ought get increased as well. Of course, this is all just an assumption on my part.

Also worthy to note that it doesn’t just say that children continue to go missing, rather they use “residents” could imply that they aren’t just capturing and killin children anymore but adults too?🤷🏽‍♂️

@@klaitonyoung5707 True, true, but I have a hunch that the wet floor bots are possessed exclusively by children. The fact that when you approach them wearing the VANNI mask, the screams that emanate sound like they're from children, combined with their overall small stature just draws me to that conclusion. Definitely not set in stone, of course. You know, looking back on it, have adults possessed ANYTHING in the FNAF franchise before? I'm pretty sure every instance of possession (the puppet, Circus Baby, the original cast), has been done by a child. I guess it'd just feel weird if the wet floor bots of all things turned out to be the first instance of a grown-up possessing something in the franchise.

⁠@@vsnake8663didn’t William Afton who is adult possessed Springtrap though? Also Michael possessed his own body as an adult too.

@@michaelao.7232 To be honest, I've never interpreted those two examples as possession so much as just "not dying", so to speak. The wiki is a little vague about it too, describing both Springtrap and Michael Afton as being "reanimated" (For example, when describing Michael coming back after Ennard leaves him, the wiki says "After being reanimated and becoming a living corpse"). This differs from the animatronics like Freddy, whom the wiki explicitly describe as "possessed". I suppose at the end of the day, the idea of whether or not William and Michael possess their own corpses comes down to a matter of interpretation.

Thank you!! That means so much 🤍

No problem just keep being you, and keep baking those theories!

Or there were 8 missing people before and the newspaper just added a ninth photo in the latest news report. There's no way to know, really.

@@PhantasieTranslate True. I write my comments as I think of them so I don't forget. So I wrote this before Toast went into the employee count. Which actually makes ALOT of sense.

@@ItsSuperMoosh The Kid victims souls were probably placed into the Wet Floor Bots, as The bots around Bonnie with him being in the middle seems very similar to Givr gifts, give life. With other souls probably being put into STAFF Bots.

Honestly based and level headed tbh

Classic shady fazbear entertainment move

The thing is, I'm pretty sure Bonnie is destroyed while Cassie's dad is still around. I'd have to look at the item messages again to be 100% sure, but one of them is along the lines of "My dad would never tell me why they replaced Bonnie", which heavily implies he's still alive at the time of Bonnie's decommissioning

@@YellowSkarmory aw, yeah you’re right. It’s been a few weeks.

both of these ideas will be canon for me until Steelwool confirms otherwise, tbh, just so i can live my life in peace 😅

I personally like to believe that Vanessa at first wanted to test the virus and tried it on Monty first, maybe Bonnie knew what was up and she just went along and controlled Monty to destroy Bonnie.

It's tough to say with little info but helpi is part of the pizzaplex AI. To connect with this theory that the eyes glow yellow cause they contain souls: perhaps it could be the souls trying to do something within the system. Would make sense with the workers, since they would know to an extent what is going on. Idk about the scream tho, since it is child like- (maybe they surround the bot cause it is the closest thing to an adult they know? Or just the missing children instead? Who knows at this point.)

@@DraugamerLIMthe big problem with this connection personally is the Mimic. Helpi does seem to want Cassie to move forward to the Mimic, and even uses clear manipulation to get her there. With this mind you would think it would be Cassie, and it wouldn’t make sense for the previous victims of the Vanny and GGY to want to help the Mimic because the Mimic is the reason why they died.

@@personismaybe0610 true, but it is fun to consider the possibilities. Then again, theories say that Elizabeth and Charlie are supposedly the two souls fighting for control. Both can be plausible, just one is more "active" than the other (like glitchtrap represented in Help Wanted, has both purple and green, perhaps one tries to tell the story is real and you need to get away while the other is convincing you that it is not real and I'm definitely not gonna control your mind)

Neurotoxin. Get glados up in this bitch. But yeah I don’t really buy it either lol

Yea,and somehow she couldn't kill one lil' shxt called Gregory...either she sucks at her job or he's just that slick.

While that could be the case, it also isn't odd for people to avoid an area a loved one frequented or that just reminds them of their loved one. My brother didn't handle our dad's death well at all and hates reminders of him, because he hasn't let himself fully grieve. He can't talk about our dad without getting angry and storming off either. And it's been years now, not just a short amount of time, so it isn't just because it's fresh grief. If Bonnie's decommissioning was mystery, then it would be hard to move on, since Freddy would have no closure, which is important for grief. I think if prototype Freddy was the one to destroy Bonnie, this Freddy would not remember that. I can't see Glitchtrap (or Mimic1) and Vanny allowing the new Freddy to retain that memory. It would be too risky and since an animatronic can be programmed, they could easily erase that memory. In the Burntrap ending of Security Breach, Freddy didn't remember being down there until he saw the sink hole and it triggered suppressed memories. Which makes me think Vanny, Glitchtrap or heck, even Gregory (as GGY when he was possessed), programmed him not to remember that... anyway, sorry for the long comment, lol.

And the cutouts from the Monty ride imply that Monty in fact idolized Bonnie. If that theory is true, and if Prototype Freddy destroyed Bonnie, then that could also explain why Monty is resentful towards Freddy and acting all aggressive. And if that was the case, I wouldn't really blame him.

Good point. 🤔😀👍

Yeah.

bc they’re extremely lazy, they literally let Afton break out in the first place, and Help Wanted was js them doing damage control for William Afton, also all the employees were in the dark the entire time based on the “Do we have a official statement?” message

Because they’re cheapskates.

A lot of the sounds in this franchise are the edited laughs or cries of real children (used to be Scott's own kids) so it's possibly just a theme or coincidence.

He needed it lol

There's actually a message explaining that! False Alarm SECURITY REPORT - A local police officer came by tonight. He said he was responding to an emergency call from someone inside the Pizzaplex. There is no way that is possible. I was the only one here and I certainly didn't make any outside calls. He wanted to look around, but I sent him away. Just another prank call. - Vanessa As head security officer she has a good alibi for the police

That's what I was thinking too.

Wait but didn’t Cassie’s dad mention Bonnie already being destroyed before he died

@@shieldlesscap6124 I don't remember off hand, I'll have to go back and check

I love this.

Interesting theory, But I still think it was Vanny controlling Monty or Vanny using her STAFF Bots to frame Monty or Prototype Freddy being the true killer.

I have an entire video on this exact thing. Going into a bit of detail as well. I promise I'm not trying to self promote, I just really want some constructive thoughts about it. Hard to get out there on the algorithm with only 7 subs XD.

Huh that's actually a really good and interesting theory

Because the whole upgraded claws thing was a last minute addition. We were suppose to get the legs. Thats why it doesnt make sense

If the argument is that only the upgraded claws could have done the damage, then I guess Bonnie unalived himself? Since, Bonnie would be the only one with the upgraded claws. The upgraded claws, like the eyes and voicebox, are upgrades for Freddy that have been given to the other animatronics for game reasons. The "he needs them to play bass" is an attempt to make it fit. The way that Monty gets his legs taken off, it may have previously been a speed upgrade for Freddy. That could still allow for busting down gates. In fact, that makes more sense than claws since you are busting through, not really tearing down. Perhaps a late in development decision was made that changing Freddy's hands would be easier to implement than having to swap out his legs, and having a noticeable change in speed might not have really worked, since he already varies in speed throughout the game. One way or the other, someone had to have taken out Bonnie without the upgraded claws since Bonnie would be the only one that has them. Unless there is a period of time where Monty filled in for Bonnie temporarily (they do call him the understudy) in which case, they upgrade Monty and have him fill in. They decide to go back to the original line up, and then Monty attacks Bonnie with the upgraded claws to make the position permanent. The bowling ball also speaks to some kind of post Bonnie decommission damage, whether to stage it like it was an accident, or as Rye implied, someone trying to deal with a possessed, albeit barely functional, animatronic.

this is the first time i'm hearing about "monty's legs was the original upgrade" and i have no idea where you got that from but since this is Security Breach (a game that rather scarp anything cool and add things last second ), i would not be surprised, at all

@@raikojanes5972 ;o really ? I thought that common knowledge, watchimg theories, people talk about this. There are many evidance.
