Are We WRONG About Molten Freddy?! | FNAF Theory

***I MISSPOKE IN THIS VIDEO***
before you all correct me, when I say the games happen in order, I meant specifically the minigames. That's my fault. I thought context made that clear. obviously the FNAF games in the franchise don't happen consecutively, I just mean the follow me minigames happen sequentially. My mistake

[@rafaelrivera7594]

Theres a problem when you mentioned the mangle part also the toys seem to NOT be possesed except puppet the withereds mangle and maybe the shadow also its heavely inplied that mangle is possesed by susies dog thanks to the fnaf 6 minigame

[@rafaelrivera7594]

Also its unknown what ending in fnaf 3 is canon but it seems that the bad ending is canon cassidy is with evan or how i call him cc also it seems that the spirit that are possesing the originals get fused with the funtimes also there another problem fnaf 2 is prequel of fnaf 1 so that maybe means there are 3 missing children cases and the original kids posses the animatronic in the new pizzaria and it is unknown if the original ghost now if evan exist

Woah jeez that's a long theory it took me 5 minutes to read

[@laotasurfs1110]

"Narratively satisfying but lots of holes in it" describes most of the popular fan theories. I suspect this is what keeps us from solving FNAF mysteries and figuring out the grander narrative: our desire to make it satisfying. Like, I *seriously* believe the true story is something closer to Sea Bonnies and Faz-Goo in terms of narrative satisfaction.

[@plantainsame2049]

Here's the most narrowly satisfying story rabbit fans make Scott cawthon keep making more games because you know he always wanted to be a game developer and now he has his chance and this also makes money which is always good but he ends up making a tidal wave of lure because he's making this up as he goes along

[@marsverb]

It's a fictional story's job to be narratively satisfying, so if the "grander narrative" is not satisfying, then I'm sorry, it's not a good narrative. At some point, you either have to be happy with something that isn't airtight, or admit that the people crafting this lore are just bad storytellers.

[@jasonallen6918]

Narratively satisfying is not how I would describe instead I describe it a narratively frustrating because it feels like a big middle finger in my opinion anyway.

[@AceFaz]

To collect remnant, u need to melt metal possessed by a soul. If you harvest remnant from something, the soul is turned to a liquid metal, so if he harvested the remnant, he would've burmed them, and there wouldn't be any ghosts to scare him into springbonnie. Plus, he already had remnant at this point, since he survives in springtrap.

Sister Location contains the tech that separates the FNaF timeline from ours starting around 1992 or so. William Afton is so obsessed with animatronics and free-moving robots that he ends up making that paradigm replace the personal computer. So he was probably experimenting with AI at the time.

[@ToaArcan]

I actually really like this theory.
It always bothered me that the original MCI victims apparently somehow came back to possess the Funtimes when we saw them ascend in FnaF3. Especially because that's chronologically the last point we see Golden Freddy/Fredbear able to manifest IRL, it feels a little weird for only one half of Golden Freddy's combined form to ascend and the others choose to stay.
I also think it devalues Charlotte and the Vengeful Spirit/Cassidy hanging around after Happiest Day a little if everybody except Crying Child/"Evan" also decides to do the same and then get fused into a spagoot bear for reasons.
Charlotte stays behind to hinder William and protect others, and Cassidy remains because they just can't let go and refuse to let William have any rest, ever, leading to UCN. They both have solid motivations to do so, and it fits their respective endings in FNaF6 and UCN too: Charlotte burns in the fire that consumes the last Freddy's location, as Henry frees the soul of his daughter and finally allows her to rest. Cassidy has long-stopped manifesting in reality at that point, maybe they can't make Fredbear do the thing anymore now that Evan's gone, but they're waiting to drag William into the pit and torment his soul for the rest of eternity.
But hey, there's these five other kids who were left unaccounted for after FNaF2, and we never saw them freed. Them being the ones who William used to make the Funtimes, and then being freed along with fellow FNaF2 alum Charlotte neatly clears that up.

So, just to summarize, the theory explains that the remnant of the Toy animatronics possessed the Funtimes instead of the OG souls. Awesome video. Even though MoltenMCI is confusing as heck, this theory helps make that idea a bit more understandable.

[@RyeToast]

Thank you! And yep that's what I'm saying. The rest of MoltenMCI stays the same, just switching the souls that kick it off

[@funtime_julia_arts2316]

I also got confused with the hole molten mci theory in my opinion I don’t really think that the og souls remnant was inside of molten Freddy at all, the toy mci makes much more sense then the og’s or there are newer souls in ft Freddy mostly in the funtimes since that the Freddy files updated version not the ultimate but the second one it said “you also learn that molten Freddy still contains the souls of ballora, funtime freddy and funtime foxy” if they meant remnant it would’ve said remnant it is possible that molten Freddy has remnant and souls, here’s just an theory of mine about mrs Afton some people are saying that she oofed herself but the game didn’t really specify of how she did it or if she even did it because there’s al lot of ways to oof but what if mrs Afton oofed herself inside of funtime freddy we know that there can fit an teenager/ adult inside of funtime freddy because of the frights story count the ways but there’s not enough evidence on this either but I think it’s kinda make sense

[@bluefreddygaming9025]

@@funtime_julia_arts2316 i like to think william's wife actully died in a car crush, basically the reason why i think is i think is because after elizabeth died by one of william's robots, william and his wife went in some sort of arguement, that arguement went way too far and william said something that he shouldn't have said so she leaves the house and goes into her car, crying tears and trying to get as far as possible but suddenly the street lights turn red and a car crushed into her, later on, william heard what happened and came to the hospital, suddenly his wife was dying of blood loss, william was really depressed about this so he collected remanet and his wife's soul before she could die even tho he didn't want to do so after that, he putted her soul into the ballora animtronic but this made this worse for her now the reason ballora stayyed in the molten freddy body is because ballora felt hatred towards william for what he did to her and everyone else in that body felt hatred too but elizabeth didn't, elizabeth was that kind of person who wanted to make her daddy proud and the reason aswell for why molten freddy didn't attack scraptrap at some point?
It is because molten freddy did not know william was in there with them, all they wanted is kill You and escape the building to search william but henry wanted all the souls that are filled with anger and vengence
And burn them all, henry's plan worked for the most of them expect one, WILLIAM and the reason i like to think is, i know there is no evidence but i like to think that william had a father, his name was... walter afton and walter afton was the one who did all of this, planned for all of this to happen, walter afton could see a future he was heading for, a perfect future so he used william afton as a slave, someone to follow orders, william the whole time thought he was doing the right thing and making his father proud but this whole time, he was used and the blob in security breach was a thing used to collect something called agony from the OG animtronics and past robots that had agony, once all agony was collected, only william's was left, walter afton brought william back as burntrap and i like to think that how william afton was able to escape cassidy's hell is because william was freed by walter, walter who became glitchtrap with more a physical body destoryed everyone there and collected everyone's souls even cassidy's in his own body, glitchtrap then inside his body was slowlu corrputting them and glitchtrap later on made vanny make burntrap using glamrock bonnie's parts after tampering with monty and making him attack glamrock bonnie, then the remains of the corpse from the fnaf 6 location, william was recreated as burntrap and william after getting choked by the blob, then after the fire, william survived the blob but in the end to be killed by walter afton and get his agony and soul collected, and the reason why cirus baby's eyes went black and killed elizabeth, the fredbear bite, the car crush, corrputting william's mind with lies
He was the reason for all this tradgey but walter in the past used to love william and he still did but he cared for a better future, a future for himself, a path that he followed now i dont know if this is true or not but this is my theory for basically everything and explain a few questions

[@shellyvision9693]

Hear me out, the reason the original missing children incident 1 kids are brought up so much in fnaf 6, is because they’re physically present. They’re the Rockstars. An unused line in Fnaf AR basically outright says this, stating that “Rockstar Bonnie was made from the parts of the original Bonnie.” I think Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie, and Fritz all are in control of the Rockstars. Hell, I think it’s likely that all the stage animatronics are possessed. Mr. Hippo tells stories of his and Orville’s lives, implying that they were once regular people. Music Man and Funtime Chica are Funtime Animatronics, which were sent out to collect remnant, likely by killing kids. Of course that leaves El Chip with no definitive proof either way but if the rest are possessed than he probably is too.

[@MrBearHands]

Quick note:
Afton did start his own company with the intent of gathering more children's souls for making remnant. The issue is it goes sideways when his daughter gets got by Baby. This might have been what Afton was doing while the old animatronics were being brought back out and then left behind again. It wouldn't make sense for him to wait so long that the building fell into a state of disrepair to go and take them apart if that's all he wanted. This gives him ample time to set up and launch his own franchise, have it fail, then have a bunker constructed and the fun times moved there.

[@kittykat1791]

I always thought the Funtimes were made from the melted down toy animatronics, there definitely was a murder spree that happened in '87 because of the phone calls and the minigame, and it just made sense that is where that remnant came from. Great explanation!

[@JosiahHerring]

My theory is that the bad ending of FNAF 3 is canon, and that's why they are still around in FNAF 6. I'd say the hole in that theory is the mini game that places a second missing children incident in the FNAF 2 location, but I honestly don't know enough to figure out any other answer.

That would make so much sense for tape girl. Cassidy attaches to William to make sure he doesn’t do more killing, and watches all of the events unfold from William’s perspective. When William dies, Cassidy tortured him, but he’s able to come back from Fazbear Entertainment using old circuit boards to create a vr game. Cassidy could be the mysterious tape girl instructing us on how to kill afton, but it’s too late and he escapes. She sees this and enters the Princess Quest mini games to stop William, but it fails, he is released out in Burntrap, but gets finessed by Gregory and burns with the Blob.

Fun fact, The First MCI has an exact date, June 26th 1985

You mentioned that call in 2:31, in that case, on that said date he killed the kids (He being William) and Save Them happened before Jeremy arrived to the restaurant for his shift

[@theshadowofmango9209]

The MCI date is from the books right?

[@Sakuracat11]

I really liked this theory! It felt very narratively satisfying and could potentially be an explanation for that enigma introduced in FNAF World where the fixed version of the Mangle was called "Funtime Foxy" instead of Toy Foxy. It's still a little messy, but perhaps the original version of the animatronic was called Funtime Foxy, then became the Mangle, then the parts were melted down and William rebuilt the animatronic into an improved version of Funtime Foxy, then bases the other of the Sister Location animatronics off that theme. Either way, you provided a lot of good points to consider!

[@Username-pz1te]

Interesting theory, but I disagree. First, to fix the problems with the original MoltenMCI, it states that William only took their endoskeletons when he melted them. In TFC, because of William using the remnant the kids spirits split. The kids spirits are only able to be freed once they are put back together. This provides an explanation for how they appear in the saferoom. Their spirits split and part of them were in the Funtimes, the other was in the saferoom. For the part about William dying in the saferoom, the explanation is simple. In between night 4 and 5 (I think it was 4 and 5) William took the endos, took them to CBEAR and melted them down, then went back to the location, most likely for Springbonnie as the children trust Springbonnie in TFC, so it might be the same for the games. For the part about fnaf 3s ending, Scott actually said which ending is canon. He said that it was more complicated than this ending was canon Vs that ending was canon. MoltenMCI provides an explanation. Happiest Day was going to be set up but because their spirits were split, they couldn’t move on. Also, the problem with the blob just being agony is that William says “the spirits follow the flesh, and also the pain” showing that the thing that causes possession is either them being stuffed or their agony. Meaning that the blob can’t just be agony because if it had their agony, the souls would be there too.
Now one of the problems I have with this theory is that in Henry’s speech he actively groups together Follow Me and remnant going into the Funtimes. “He lured them all back. Back to a familiar place. Back with familiar tricks. He brought them all together”. Throughout this quote Henry talks about Follow Me, the familiar place being the saferoom where they were murdered and familiar tricks being them being lured to the saferoom. The thing is, he also says that William brought them all together. This only happens during MoltenMCI. If you look at how it’s phrased, he says back to a familiar place then stops in a sentence as if a period is there. He does the same thing when saying he brought them all together. Not to mention the only things he really talks about in the speech are Follow Me and MoltenMCI besides mentioning Charlottes death. This should give a hint to how Follow Me and MoltenMCI are connected. For the part about the grave scene, note how you get that scene after the lore ending, not the normal ending. I believe that the lore ending isn’t canon, rather an alternate ending where TOYSHK doesn’t keep William alive during UCN, rather let’s him die and in this ending all the spirits get freed. Either way this could just be showing the future for when they get freed after the events of the next few games. Unlike Happiest Day, where we actively see it happening during fnaf 3, these gravestones appear as an after scene and don’t necessarily need to happen right after fnaf 6.
Side note but you mention fnaf world but also that Happiest Day is being set up for BV because he is a lost and scared soul. The thing is, Fnaf World heavily implies that it was BV who set up the minigames in the first place in a world called the flipside. This means that A) the minigames aren’t in the arcades, but rather in the flipside and B) that BV isn’t the scared soul that you describe him as (give the man some credit) rather now more determined to help his friends, regardless of whether or not he gets freed during Happiest Day (which I don’t believe he is the soul there, I don’t even think BV possesses GF but okay)

That was one of the best theories I've heard in a while. But you said that the MCI were in the funtimes as i get that it makes sense, what about Elizabeth? We know that multiple souls could be in an animatronic but even Mr. Afton wouldn't put his daughter with the others, right?

[@Kikus-lf6kr]

I think the toy's reason to behave that way is because of "agony", you know that thing from the books, which isn't souls like remnant? Like "Oh there's no need for a child to be inside that animal-like monster, they can just be haunted by frickin emotions and get shit agressive and behave like a wild predator!"
Or something along that, but I find your point quite interesting, I thought about this agony thing because I thought the kiddies killed were only the known 6...
but if there's things to point towards more kiddies strangled, then yeah, those toys could very well be haunted by kids!

Even ignoring the Odor thing, Michael going into the Sister Location was part of why he was trying to find William. I'm not sure how this timeline works if Michael only went there around the time of William being springlocked. Am I missing something?

[@RyeToast]

William does get spring locked long before FNAF 3, and I'm pretty sure that in the sister locations secret ending scene, Michael mentions that William said Elizabeth would be down in sister location. So it's possible he just went there to find Elizabeth. But if William told him that, he would have had to be alive, right? I'm not sure, it's confusing

@@RyeToast Exactly, I know that William gets springlocked years before the events of Fnaf 3, but that still has to be after Fnaf 1, as you've said in the video. William had to tell Michael to check out the Sister Location, resulting in Michael becoming a walking corpse and hunting his father down, leading to him being the nightgaurd in Fnaf 2 and 1 (likely finding him and attempting to burn him in Fnaf 3.) Meaning Sister Location has to happen before 2,1, and obviously 3.
I will add though, there's no guarantee Michael went down immediately after being told by William. Maybe it took him a while to work up the nerve, or maybe he only did it after William disappears.
So there's definitely some issues to work out here, but I think this is on the right track!

[@Username-pz1te]

Actually, the odor doesn’t have to mean that Michael is already dead. Phone Guy mentions how the animatronics smell really bad (because they had corpses stuffed into them), so this could be the reason for Michaels odour. For the second part, it could be that his motivation just isn’t what we thought. We are never explicitly told his motivation, for all we know Michael was working at the first 2 locations to observe the animatronics for William, then he wants to free the spirits as shown in fnaf 3 after going to sister location and realizing that he wasn’t doing good working for Afton.

[@Username-pz1te]

@@sunnyisabunny1479 we know that he’s the player of fnaf 4 and 1, given how in fnaf 4 you get the fnaf 1 phone call Easter egg, which we only ever see heard by Mike Schmidt. Given how Mike Schmidt is connected the nightmares and the nightmares are connected to fnaf 4, we can assume that Mike Schmidt has experienced something in fnaf 4 in some way. Meaning that he is Michael. We also know that the fnaf 3 guard is most likely Michael as we see the fnaf 3 guard freeing the spirits in Fazbear’s Fright. I don’t see who else would be willing or able to do it. Fritz Smith is a strange case. He doesn’t get a phone call and is somehow able to beat 4/20 mode despite it being his first night. But Fritz Smith still has connections to Mike Schmidt. Mike and Smith are English names, while Schmidt and Fritz are apparently German. These shows a connection between the 2. Not to mention that they both tamper with the animatronics for some reason. That being said, I am not sure if Fritz Smith is Michael, he’s the only one I’m not sure about, it’s just what most of the community believes

[@plantainsame2049]

There's a problem with Michael being the Garden FNAF two he would have probably have still been young he was like 12 in 4 because I hope no kid older than that is stupid enough to shove their brother into a robot mouth so it would have been like 17 In 87 and I doubt William would let him near any murderbots cuz it's already suspicious enough that he lost two kids if he loses the third one and also works in the place where multiple children have gone missing people are going to start putting things together

I know Ennard was ejected from Michael’s body into the sewer system. I know that Baby separated from Ennard and scrapped herself together in the sewer.

Awesome Theory as usual! Tho I have a few questions, however.
1:
How do you think the Original Missing Children would stay relevant to the story? They _are_ the ones who started it all with the whole missing children incident trope so why would they go so early.
2:
If the Puppet moved on with the other children, how is she in Fnaf 6? It doesn't need to be answered since Charlotte also could've done what Cassidy done and stayed to see if that bastard William is down for good.
3: (an interesting one at bet.)
What do you think about the whole "Mrs. Afton in Ballora" theory? It's hinted in Security Breach as the Staff Bot that is supposed to be Mrs. Afton shares striking similarities to Ballora... Plus I have a personal theory myself that the Souls of Foxy/Mangle and Chica/Toy Chica both take hold of Funtime Foxy as a hivemind and Mrs. Afton would be the one to take over Ballora. (since it would be a nod to how Funtime Foxy has female traits but has a voice of a Male.)
The FNAF Theories on this Channel is top notch imo, I strive to know these things I asked, especially the Ballora part! And what better way to find an answer than to ask this Channel, anyways, hope you see this! Sorry for the entire school essay btw lol.

[@RyeToast]

Thanks so much! And in order
1. I'm not sure, their memory could be the reason why Michael wants to put William down so badly, but we don't really have a clear idea.
2. That's a great point, honestly, I'm not sure. I think what you suggested about pulling it. Cassidy might be the only explanation for that
3. Personally, I don't think Mrs. Afton is possessing ballora, but I do think ballora was made after Mrs. Afton. Sort of how circa's baby was made for Elizabeth, but not of Elizabeth.

[@piercelindenberg6842]

I’m not…against this theory, the idea of a second Missing Children’s Incident at the 1987 location makes sense. But there are established reasons for why the Toys do what they do in that universe: there are implications that Mangle is possessed by the spirit of Susie’s dog, which William stole and killed so he could lure Susie in. Otherwise, the Toys are questionably haunted. I was always under the impression that the Funtimes just have really advanced AI, and the Ennard/Molten Freddy later added on to themselves with the possessed parts of the original animatronics, or William left orders to other Afton Robotics workers to salvage the broken animatronics and create Remnant for the Funtimes. They might not have known what they were doing.
That being said, given the designs of the Toys compared to the designs of the Funtimes, plus the advanced technology and programming that went into both of them, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that Afton Robotics built the Toys for Fazbear Entertainment prior to being acquired by FE, presumably after William’s death and Michael’s scooping.

The entire timeline is a bit wonky with Springtrap. If he is sealed inside the walled up room in the pizzeria for 30 years then how does that factor in to him being in newer games

[@dbgaming2737]

Awesome theory! Only thing that doesn’t make sense to me, According to the timeline fnaf 2 comes before fnaf 1. It being called the NEW Freddy’s is due to the closing of the OG Freddy’s (fredbears family diner). Fnaf 2 supposedly is before fnaf 1 because phone guy is still alive. So that is the only part that doesn’t really make sense to me

[@RyeToast]

Yeah, so the current main timeline theory is that the four animatronics from FNAF 1 were in an older Freddy Fazbear's before FNAF 2, that's the restaurant where the MCI takes place. Then it shuts down FNAF 2 opens up That shuts down then FNAF 1 opens up as a remake of the older Freddy's pizza. It's a little confusing

[@duckman9327]

Counter argument: the entirety of the insanity speech. That’s what the insanity speech was about, no clue how you missed that. Plus, why the hell would FE give the robots to one of the main suspects of the fnaf 2 MCI? That’s the whole reason Jeremy even worked there, they moved William to day shift then banned him when the kids died. So why would they then give their advanced tech to the guy who they didn’t want at their place. It seems very likely that follow me is how the sister location animatronics got possessed. “He set some kind of trap, I don’t know what it was, but he led them there. Again. Overpowered them. Again. And robbed them of the only thing that they had. Again.” -Henry, insanity ending

[@Vigriff]

I always just assumed that the FNAF 2 animatronics were being controlled by the dead children of the '85 MCI via the FNAF 1 animatronics considering that Fazbear Entertainment was using them for spare parts for the Toys.

[@ThatWannabeMusician]

I still think that the reason the Toys were haunted is because they were repaired with parts from the previous location (the Withered characters), and just a single piece of haunted robot is enough to corrupt the whole thing. Think back to the phone guy quote: "We just use them for parts now." Also, FNaF 2 takes place in '87, 1 takes place in '93, and the murders are basically confirmed to be in '85. The FNaF 1 animatronics could have been corrupted by the Toys, with them being scrapped for parts at the end of the game.

[@jacerathbun7311]

OK, this is valid, another five kids go missing and attach themselves to the newer models, where does the fifth spirit go, it could be balloon boy but this could also serve as an explanation as to how shadow bonnie exists, idk fnaf lore is nothing to be messed with though

[@henryallsup5771]

I think we often forget that the funtimes were murder robots, so I think an equally likely possibility was that they were haunted by some random kids. Sure it’s outta left field but they were already shown to be rented out from Scott’s website, so they likely killed some kids and got haunted like that.
I never thought about how the mci in simulator could give credence to moltenmci, but I still think that they either remained in their suits or helped Evan free in 1993 because of their visual presence at Williams death.
While this doesn’t really give closure to the DCI kids, I think those guys burned away in fnaf 3 since we saw their masks/machinery in the building.

[@markiplieryaoi]

i think there is just no way the original souls are the ones in the funtimes. there just wasn't enough time between when he dismantled the fnaf 1 animatronics and when he died for him to build a entire set of animatronics, open a pizzeria, get his daughter killed, close that pizzeria, and open a service that lets people rent out those animatronics. and even if he somehow did all that, how would the spirits appear in the night five cutscene to scare william into the spring bonnie suit if they were trapped in the funtimes. it just doesn't make sense to me, just because that happened in the books doesn't make it cannon to the games.

I haven’t watched this video yet, but I have a sort of weird head canon about molten/Funtime Freddy. I guess, I have two.

My second is that Funtime freddy somehow also scooped a kid like baby, and Freddy and baby are the only possessed funtimes. We see in the blueprints that he has a kid in him so, I’m leaning toward this theory more. I think it also makes sense if he’s the only possessed one besides baby since he takes control of ennard after baby gets booted.

The sister location animatronics were build before fnaf 2, before fnaf 4 even as Elisabeths room is always empty, implying that she already would have been killed my circus Baby.

The original 5 children helping Golden Freddy move doesn't really work since we actually help the other children as well. You can go to the Happiest Day minigame before completing all the minigames and see them eventually join. So it's not them and likely not the Puppet since we see a dead Puppet in the minigames as well. Personally, I think the bad ending is what is truly canon while the good ending isn't. (Which explains why Scott doesn't want to tell the fanbase that.) The only the person that makes sense helping the children is the MC of FNaF 3 I guess. Also, seeing as William told Micheal to go to the location, and put his sister back together, it's unlikely he went there due to the other funtimes or because William died.

My theory is that in FNAF2, Afton returns to the pizzeria and uses his Spring Bonnie suit to murder a single child that eventually possesses the animatronic of Balloon Boy (if not, then why tf is he in FNAF 3 as a ghost?) Mangle goes haywire and bites a child (Bite of ‘87) that dies and possessed her.
Following these events, William tells his only surviving son, Michael, to go into his abandoned and failed Animatronic Rental business to free Elizabeth, which he does, getting his innards scooped out and remnant injected in him to stay alive, being piloted by Elizabeth and an unnamed child possessing Funtime Freddy. (A child is seen inside Funtime Freddy in the blueprints)
After puking Ennard up, the mass of wires splits into two different entities: Scrap Baby, and Molten Freddy, who go their separate ways for decades.
Fast-Forward to November, 2023, the haunted house dudes unseal the secret room in the 1993 location and bring William Afton, who has since turned into a rotten corpse inside a remnant-possessed Spring Bonnie animatronic, to Fazbear’s Fright. Michael, keeping his word (“I’m going to come find you.”) goes into the place and sets free the original 4, Evan, the spirit possessing BB, and the BO87 victim. (As to why Bonnie never made an appearance, I have no clue.)
4 years later, Michael, alongside Henry, set free Charlette, Elizabeth, and the kid possessing Funtime Freddie, as well as damning William to the darkest pit of hell. Michael and Henry die in that fire as well.

I have a hypothesis, what if, the Funtimes aren't made from another animatronics, and their Remanent(I don't know how to write) come from people that know too much, and/or kids captured like Elizabeth.
Meanwhile there would have been three MCI, the first one would happen in 83-85, and the souls would posses the FNaF 2 animatronics (not the toys[I don't know how to spell the name of the broken animatronics in FNaF 2]), the second one would happen in 87, and the souls would posses the Toys Animatronics, and the third one would happen in 93, and the souls would posses the FNaF 1 animatronics.
In this timeline FNaF SL would happen in 86-87, so Michael would go after his Father, and answers to his questions, he would free the souls in the Toys, but wouldn't be able to free the souls in the others animatronics. The souls in FNaF 1 would free themselves when William "die" for the spring loks. And the broken animatronics from FNaF 2 would undergo aesthetic changes, to become the Rockstars animatronics.
Why the Rockstars animatronics? well, because they share some visual mechanics, like Chica's and Freddy's mouth open all of their head.
(sorry if my grammar is bad, I'm not fluid in english)

I have a theory. Remember when phone guy said in fnaf 2 that the withered’s were used for parts for the toys. So some of the originals remnant would be in them. That would also explain why the funtimes don’t feel whole, because they only have the remnant from the originals not the entire soul. Because remnant isn’t a complete soul. Anyway this was just a thing I brainstormed about.

I call CC Chris or Christopher it just fits more with his sibling's names

I think this theory of a second murder of 5 other kids makes sense. Just ask yourself one question...
If FNAF2 is before the first game, why does Withered Chica look like they ripped her mouth so mostly wide, like they were trying to take something out?
In FNAF1 we get the newspapers that tells us the current suits in that location smelt like there's a dead body in them and they're leaking fluids. Sure, they could've been from the FNAF2 location.
My personal theory was that the Toy Animatronics are possessed because they are carrying parts taken from the Withered Animatronics. But a second group of murdered kids would make sense with the same idea.
Maybe one day, if Scott decides to have the bad ending canon, Molten Freddy might return. Question, why does Golden Freddy's head disappear in FNAF3's good ending?
