In fnaf 3 we learn of an incident at that the sister location were multiple springlock failures happened.
In SL we find out that this sister location was CBPW (circus baby pizza world)

However there one thing people forget
There were multiple springlock failures meaning there were more then just one springlock suit, so who are the others
After re-looking at the series here Are the potential answers.

Bonnie/the night 4 spring lock imo: after thinking about it, I do believe the night 4 spring lock suit is Bonnie
Why? “themes and such” no really let me cook
One of the main plot points of sister location is that the character believe Michael is William
So it makes sense for the spring lock suit to be Bonnie to fit with this theme.
It would also explain why Scott didn’t want to reveal it because it would kind of hint at molten MCI and it’s connected to the narrative

Ennard mask: the character Ennard mask belongs to
Judging by the way things have been moving Ennard mask likely belong to a previous character
Who this is we still haven’t seen, but I think this could be one of the spring lock in Pizza world.

Eleanor: this I think it’s extremely possible I would explain why Eleanor looks like baby.
If she was utilize at cbpw

Now time for what I think of the replacement costumes were? To figure this out I decided to look at which characters were connected to the core 4 and this led me to what I think

There 2 kind of 3 options

Costume versions Monty and bub

Or

Costume versions of mangle and BB

Or could be both

These characters have been associated with the core 4 since curse of dreadbear and Sotm
We know that these characters existed since the 70s because of sotm and the VR2 carousel.

So I think this could be the case
Also, if Andrew is Cannon that also heavily point to Monty being one of these costumes.

TLDR:

The spring lock costumes that were used at CBPW where Bonnie, Eleanor and fix Ennard

And the replacement costumes were either Monty or Bub, Monty or Funtime foxy
Funtime foxy or BB.

Bonus idea: I don’t have the evidence to prove this, but I actually have an idea that maybe the night 4 spring lock could be bonnet.

She was randomly introduced in custom night and didn’t seem to appear in the main game
If she was the night 4 spring lock that would allow her to be in the main game to some extent.
This a reach tho.

I put this in as one of the options for the previous post, but I wanted to go more into detail.

Chica party world is finally given importance in secret of the mimic as Fiona help design party time Chica for Chica‘s restaurant.

And later in the guide, we got “Chica secret party” a non existent game that supposedly came out in 2016 the year when Chica’s party world was first revealed.

So what does this mean? Well, I’m starting to think it might be setting up a Chica’s party game
Maybe FE will try to rebrand or take a break for Freddy as the main star

This also could work with the game parallels the next game seems to be taking inspiration from sister location
Sister location is a circus baby entertainment and rentals.

In the game, ringmaster was the original design Mr. helpful before it was changed?
However, he still exists in the game and has his cut out
So what does he represent?

Well, my theory is that he’s supposed to be what Edwin’s dad used to use to represent himself
He does have the mustache kind of and when Edwin made helpful his dad was still alive and still the owner of the company

TLDR:
Ring master rat is what Edwin’s dad represented himself as before Edwin took over.

Secret of the mimic seems to explain the existence of Funtime Freddy and bonbon.

I believe bonbon and bonnet are supposed to parody Mr. helpful and Mrs. helpful
Hence, why they’re both hand puppets they were inspired by Fiona puppeteering work. This is also backed up by glitch trap, putting his puppet in bonk a bon.

Funtime Freddy as pointed out also seems inspired by Mr. helpful
I think his existence and him being a part of the circus gang is meant to represent how Edwin creations are now all under Afton control.

Bonus idea: I’ve been talking a lot about how fun time foxy seems to exist in the 70s because of the carousel

however, after thinking about it, I think it might be possible that Funtime foxy
Is essentially foxy miss helpful equivalent.

Foxy represents Edwin the game and foxy seems to be at fall fest so maybe Funtime foxy was created to represent Fiona.

They seem to have just been a fall fest exclusive at first tho mcm why we don’t see any marketing for them in MCM.

Him being the employee is definitely possible valid interpretation, but I feel like there’s something more to him.

Moon is used to symbolize Edwin and he has the same voice actor as Edwin.

I don’t think he’s possessed by Edwin tho.

I might do a theory but I think it’s possible he could be one of Edwin‘s failed Proto mimics that mimic him instead of David.

Shout this theory for inspiring this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/fnaftheories/s/pkHlMSV93u

The Theory has the idea that M1 is the current CEO of Fazbear entertainment which explains all the similarities between the Pizza Plex and MCM.

I think this idea is true however I wanted to take it further.

I did a theory on the Endo warehouse and the M1 ceo open my mind what the true purpose of this warehouse might’ve been. The true purpose of it is that it was supposed to be a way of creating a new David

M1 plan was to use the Endo warehouse to train the glamrocks endos to become David
That was the true purpose of the nursery.

However, there was one problem, the one who messed up this plan.
Glitchtrap because of M2 transformation into glitchtrap and escape from VR and later his corruption of the pizzaPlex

I think M1 believed M2 had been destroyed so she would have to start over again.

But I also think if this is true, this might finally explain the sticky note room.

The sticky note room was the glamrock endos who were given the memories of M1/David and they began to scribble these memories of what they learn.

Now the big question is, how did M1 become the CEO.

And I think this is easily it’s because of the V.a.n.n.i network. I did a theory about this before, but I believe Afton created it.

However I can take it another direction
Afton would have access to F10N4 machine he might’ve used her to generate a prototype of it This could connect Moon.exe
Moon.exe was something M1 seemed to have created to fix David.
A whole “game/world” she managed to generate.
I think Afton could’ve used her to create the the prototype of V.a.n.n.i network
And then later us M2 to create the actual one

(bonus: this could also maybe be why he created the nightmare experiments he wanted a victim to test the network on just in case M1 took control over him)

Once FE workers went back to the FFPS location to salvage things someone could’ve discovered the AR network and wear the mask getting corrupted by M1.

I would also like to throw in the F10N4 storyteller theory in here.

If M1 had control over the CEO it would explain why her machine was brought to the pizzaplex and used to take over the systems like the storyteller does in the books.

Her goal her being to infect the endo nursery and train the glamrock endos into becoming David

The reason for it being a tree in the games could have been her remembering the tree on the hill her and David sat on.

So TLDR

. Afton finds M1 and uses her to create a prototype of V.a.n.n.i network

.After the events of FFPS while savaging things someone finds this network inputs on the mask getting infected by M1 this could be the CEO or some random employee who later than uses the mask on the CEO.

.M1 now controlling a new body decides to use this opportunity to resurrect her dead family

. She creates the PizzaPlex and later makes FE employees create the storyteller using her machine

. Allow her to infect the entire Pizza Plex

. She begins to train the glamrock endos into taking the character traits of David

. What went wrong tho is that M2 was still around and he became “glitchtrap” and he believing he was Afton now decided to take over the PizzaPlex.

Note: if F10N4 was used to create the vanni network is a glitchtrap/m2 in it?
Simple I think Afton could’ve created 2
versions of it one with M1 and one with M2.

Wanted to make this clear in case anyone missed it.

This is something I been thinking about but I think it possible the Freddy and friends on tour was written by a ai (in universe)

In sotm Edwin created a ai to write a tv show
We know that FE got the rights to all of mcm stuff so it very possible that they found this ai
And use it to develop the Tv shows.

This could be why Freddy and friends on tour has a of presence in the modern story it apart of the ai theme.

I realized I never gave my opinion on what mimicking the data dive is going to lead to, so I’ll give a theory.

Mimics motivation: SOTM gave us whatmimics motivation, simply put. He wants to bring back David, but wait, doesn’t he think he’s David?

well, actually no.

This is due to Edwin beating him

“Stop You’re not him stop sounding like him."

The mimic actually took this to heart and believed that he was not David.
Instead, he wants to make something that is David.

In moon.exe it stated that “you will bring him back, no matter the cost," so simply put, his goal is to create the “real David” . We also do see the mimic is somewhat of an inventor.
Not only does he try to create a power test, but he's also able to fix him and replace his legs.
So he seems to definitely be able to build something.

The mimic blueprints: we never actually get to see the mimic blueprints.
We see M1’s blueprint; however, it seems that M2 and M1 are the same endo.
So what are these mimic blueprints in the experimental storage 2 well? Well, these blueprints are likely the blueprints for ruin mimic.

And M2 is going to create a new body for the new David, but I don’t think he’s just going to do that with the blueprints

Mimic’s own fazband: Not only do I think a mimic wants to create a new body for a new David. I also think he wants to finish the Fazbear project; I think he wants to do this out of spite for Edwin.

We see that Mimic copies a lot of Edwin’s character traits, his negative ones. This is even kind of reflected in the ending mimic taking the data diver from a FE employee because he doesn’t want you to have them, like how Edwin didn’t want FE to have the M2 blueprint.

I think this dislike for Edwin is going to go further as he’s going to do his own version of the Fazbear project, his own Fazbear band.
And this, I think, explains the epilogue mimic/burntrap people forget, but the mimic we see in ruin is not fully his proper design. It’s his design after taking damage supposedly from the vent where burntraps handprint can be seen.

We know that M2 became burntrap because of the handprint, so it’s likely that he also had the antenna.
In the books, one of the construction workers mentioned how Mimic could be a guitarist.
And I think this is actually the case because Epilogue Mimic mimics the version of Bonnie.
This, I also think, is backed up by the real David being a fan of all the bands' characters.
His favorite restaurant was the singing shop.
He has the full 6 for his bedtime book.
M2, I think, is making his own Fazband for David, as David considers them his friends.

This, I also think kills 3 birds with 1 stone.

. It explains why the epilogue mimic has burnt damage while the sotm mimic is spotless; the mimic uses burnt parts from MCM for this Endo.

. It explains why Epilogue Mimic looks like a rabbit, as M2 was trying to create a Bonnie.

it also works with the current belief that he was always at the FFPS location.

This fazband he was making was likely still stuck in R&D.

What happened to the mimic post Sotm: Like I said, in a previous theory, he was likely defeated, and I think the way he was defeated was through the “ruin scooper."
The ruin scooper seems to be specifically designed to kill him, as it does no damage to the costume at all.
I can’t imagine him and the Protomimics were running around for like 52 years.

So, TLDR:

The experimental storage 2 contains the blueprints for “pre-ruin mimic."
Mimic goals that he wants to re-create David and finish the Fazbear project.

So using the blueprint, he creates A Mimic based off Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, foxy, Bub, and Monty.

M2 is defeated at some point in these. Mimics are forgotten about until someone finds The one based off Bonnie.

This is a topic I’ve seen be brought up/debated so I’ll give my opinion I think we have like 3 more games.

I don’t think the next game will be his ending as there’s still a lot of plot points that need to be addressed.

.tangle/the blob
.GGY and how Gregory got set free
.The Vanni network
And a lot more I don’t think all of those can be addressed in 1 game so I think there will be another.

There are 2 games that I think will happen

And follow up to ruin with Cassie in Mcm/cbears.

And one that I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of people talk about “help wanted 3”.

Infact I can definitely see HW3 being the final of the mimic saga
Since HW1 was what started all of this.
The one inbetween ruin 2 and help wanted 3 will be the climax most likely.

.The pizzaplex but fixed and redesigned

. Chica party world

.Circus baby pizza world

.spook fest/fall fest

. Somewhere new

The v.a.n.n.i network is is still unexplained mystery in fnaf we were first introduced to it in ruin and confirmed that it was employee technology in VR2 we see a poster for it in the Fnaf 6 location, so it seems to exist during that time period.

The point of the mask it can seemingly change your perception of reality and it also for some reason has M2 programming inside of it.

So who created this network will there are 2 potential options, the big one and the one that has like a 1% of happening.

Option 1: William this is extremely likely

the mask is that of a rabbit
And we know William has been experimenting with this stuff before with the nightmare experiments.

I think AR network could’ve been one of his abandoned projects or
Judging by the connections between the modern story and sister location I could see the ar network being something he created for the unseen experiment room that recreates fnaf 4 minigames.

It also is possible that Afton could’ve created the AR network to test his plans. In the Brazil ending a show that it can create
It’s own simulations for the person so I think it’s possible that afton could have used it to imagine him with all of his victims.

Option 2 the extremely unlikely one: Edwin if Edwin did survive
I could see him maybe making the AR network one of the functions people forget is that it’s able to create the person’s ideal reality/a simulation we see this in the Brazil ending.

So perhaps Edwin in in his grief, post sotm create the AR network to live in a simulation were his family was still alive and things didn’t go wrong.
This is also unironically, could be his parallel to the “suicide bot” similar to novel Henry since he parallels him a lot.

Tho the big problem here is that why would the mask be a rabbit? And the answer to that I think is that it might be possible that “Vanny” it’s not the only character for this mask she’s just the mascot, but there are other mask for different characters that serve the same function.

Tho overall I would go with William I think that has the most likely chance of happening.

TLDR:
William most likely created the AR network for perhaps his nightmare experiments or for his own personal use
It was eventually found by Fazent and reuse for the pizzaplex.

One thing I’ve been curious about post sotm is how mascot costumes will return in the future
It’s kind of when a mimics main gimmick however MCM was burned to the ground and FE prioritize animatronics

So how would they return?

Well after thinking about it I had an idea it all has to do with an Easter egg in ruin

In ruin when Cassie gets the V.a.n.n.i mask. She gets an implant in her brain that allows helpi to enter the real world
However, this implant seems to have had much more of an effect due to one of the Easter eggs
The plush baby Easter egg.

When Cassie enters a room, she sees a bunch of plush baby that disappear these plush baby weren’t real but they were still seen in the real world without the mask.

It seems that implant and the mask can manipulate what Cassie sees this is also backed up in the Brazil ending where she place in a whole hallucination.

So what does this have to do with mascot costumes well I think in the ruin sequel, this will be how mascot costume return with mimic using the implant in her brain to make her see things that aren’t actually there.

This can also be how new mascot costumes are introduced mimic start generating/creating new ones that never existed.

This could be how we could get costumes of the pirate crew or the core 4
This could also be how the other epilogue costumes will show up.

TLDR:

In ruin 2 mimic will use the implant and manipulate Cassie’s reality forcing her to see mascot from mimic past and creating new ones.

Bonus: I brought this up before, but I can also see that the Vanni mask will change mimic appearance into whatever he wants. We never see what happens if we use the mask on him

I brought this idea up for how tiger rock could be implemented for the games, but I can also see this happening for the other mimic forms from the books Like the Monty with in or the drowning girl.

He could make the mask see him as Monty to reference Cassie’s dislike for that character and he can make the mask make him look like the “drowning girl” who I think is supposed to be him mocking the princess from Princess quest or is just Fiona.
