Raybot, but spooky

I mean, we all heard the Vanessa theories already yeah? Not even mentioning her visual similarities to Elizabeth, I think either her or Michael could fit. Both of them were loyal to their father at some point (I don't know why else Michael would go into the Sister location bunker) and they both played significant roles in the story. I think if this was the case I'd wager Vanessa was *supposed* to be Elizabeth, but after breaking free she became more like Michael and hellbent on destroying the glitchtrap virus for good (maybe with a little bit of fire). I could understand arguments for Glamrock Freddy being Michael (even aside from him *literally* being Michael) but I didn't include any of the glamrocks because they serve a narrative purpose already as animatronics.

Gregory is. Obvious. I mean with how similar they look its already sort of suspicious, though Gregory is a little bit more of a fighter than CC. They at the very least share a connection with bear robots. I could see an argument for Gregory being Michael (God is Michael just every character?) But for visual similarities alone I picked CC.

Cassie was theorized from day one to be Cassidy or Charlie or both. I personally learn more towards Charlie but because of Something in hw2 I may be more willing to accept her as the vengeful spirit. I know Charlie doesn't always equal green but Cassie does have specks of green throughout her design, and she seems to be a very kind and caring friend (maybe too kind). Roxy being protective over her near the end is, well, a loose connection to the security puppet but I thought I'd bring it up.

For cassidy I can see this since if Gregory is CC, obviously cassidy and him would most likely talk and maybe be friends. In the picture that is from the logbook which might be cassidy they share a similar hair style. Not identical but, similar. Though I miss Cassie's curly hair </3

Mimic is probably the most obvious connection. William is like. The only human murderer from the original story, so you know, if the mimic is trying to kill people it's safe to say they are probably mimicking him. Though clearly they are not above mimicking other people (Gregory) in order to do this, sort of like what I imagine the funtimes did. I don't necessarily think they are acting like they did in the books where they are just carrying out an order to disassemble mechs, because if they were WHYyyy the need to lure people down there? Hey man I don't think that person you tricked into climbing down here is an endoskeleton I think that's a fucking person. This seems much more malicious, something that would make sense if they based their actions off of a killer from the 80s.

Also I guess Cassie's dad is worth a mention, who may be a parallel with Henry Emily or even Charlie herself. I'm leaning more towards Henry but I could see a case for it. I guess he can always be Michael. Because as much as I like fan interpretations of him he's sort of. Just Like. There. You know to be a foil to his dad.

In this regard the fnaf one and two animatronics are actually very nearly accurate. The head is actually a bit bigger usually in real life, presumably to give the audience an easier time seeing their facial expressions. A hitch is that the mechs don't actually have teeth. I mean, like, why would they? The fnaf animatronics don't even need them they are just for extra spooky factor, I guess.

Also, animatronics like the older chuck e cheese ones are air pressured, not electric. This is less common today but was most likely a budget thing along with it possibly being easier to work with?

Since I couldn't think of a way they'd be able to move in such complex ways with just air pressure, I decided that I can allow the fact that Henry and Afton most likely found a way to combine the two in a way that would make it cheaper and easier while allowing them to make more complex shows.

The face is extremely simple, and even with the fnaf animatronics having more expression with their eyebrows and a second pair of eyelids for the bottom of their eyes, I think this is something air pressure could handle. The teeth were replaced with the standard jaw movement piece, which would be hidden by a mouth plate in the back of the mouth (no extra teeth required).

Realistically, these would have to be charged often. My solution would be that they can be charged while stationary on thr stage, whether that's from plugging them in (something a tech would have to do in-between shows), or if the stage floor has some wireless charging built into it, though that's probably pushing it for the 80s.

The arms and legs are complex, seeing as they are shown doing rather simple things for their performances but able to move them in many more different directions. And their legs. Need I mention more about that? Real animatronics usually cannot move their legs. There are some minor exceptions, such as rock-afire's Beach bear being able to tap his foot, but no, they cannot walk around. In fact most do not have mechs below the hips (which for fnaf animatronics are also quite small. How are you holding up your upper body?). This is where the electricity comes in.

The battery would have to be large, so hiding it in the feet would be best to give them a solid standing position.

They would also have a voice box for off-stage use only, as on stage they would have their tapes play on the speakers. These voice boxes would play the same tapes, with the singing come from the box instead of the stage. These wouldn't be removed when they were confined to the stage, but I imagine the battery packs in their feet would be to prevent wandering. It's curious how they still manage to do so at night....

And for the outer part, it's standard for animatronics. The fur covers every part of the body not clothed, aside from the face. The face is made out of extremely malleable latex or similar material, and the nose is rubber. The nose for freddy is subject to change to a softer material that would allow you to gently honk his nose.

As for the wood interior, I saw that once for a chuck e cheese animatronic, and figured it would be best to use to help the animatronics keep their shapes. The velcro attaching the head pieces is for easy removal for maintenance.
