Because Afton was alive up until UCN, where he was in a hospital and away from Springlock suit
Agony doesn't regrow flesh. Also, where would this agony come from?
Burntrap wasn't what Scott initially planned, he said so in the interview he did with Dawko late last year. Steel Wool misunderstood a lot of Scott's vague storytelling cues and therefore SB turned out differently to what Scott had imagined.
He said that they then used Ruin as a way to correct SBs mistakes, and what do we see? The erasure of Burntrap and also the erasure of that ending. Ruin ties Burntrap to the Mimic and doesn't appear in its charging pod or anywhere else other than Gregory's drawing of the Burntrap ending. Showing how Burntrap has either been erased and "retconned", or was destroyed and lacks any importance in the story.
Either way, Burntrap's appearance isn't something that breaks or makes a theory given that its entire existence was a mistake and the result of a misunderstanding. Burntrap's Endo is literally an asset-flip, it has parts from endos that aren't even real..
FNAF isn't speculation at all, sure not everything is confirmed. But theories are based off of something objective and then are just built upon from that. Saying Burntrap is the Mimic literally follows this, Burntrap and the Mimic have the same hands, and the claw marks are seen in the Mimic lair and also the Burntrap lair.. objectively tying the two together.
However, Saying Afton gained the ability to mimic voices and actions in HW because you *think* it works that way is pure speculation and isn't based on anything objective.
It's not self-explanatory, hence the question. A lot of people will use Remnant and Agony as a blanket term for the unexplainable. But they literally have rules and laws that they follow. Afton was alive up until UCN (we hear his heartbeat and also the crux of UCN requires Afton to be alive for TOYSNHK to torment him).
How would they gain information from Afton? And why would they need info on a Springlock suit? They're not trying to recreate one. Are you suggesting that they talked to Afton?
Using the Mimic would speed up the process as it can just mimic the actions the characters made in the in-universe indie games and then apply that to the HW game. It speeds up the pathfinding as they wouldn't need to program any.
From what I recall, you just said "William would likely have been scanned because they figured that scanning him would likely speed up the game development process", and I then questioned how that'd actually work, and there wasn't really a response to that. So lemme ask again, how would scanning Afton speed up the development process?
Also, I did state how the Mimic's involvement would speed up the process:
"Not to mention that Hand Unit quite literally states that the boards scanned have the ability to "digitally recreate performances and personalities", which is almost word for word with how the Mimic is described in Tales: "created the Mimic line, they didn’t want to have to program in every show routine, step-by-step. That was a lot of coding, so they just programmed the Mimic to basically watch and learn. Not only could a Mimic fit into any costume, it was designed to observe the other routines and then mimic them"
How would Afton's agony/ remnant get to the chips and then to the HW game?
The Mimic was literally used in the Pizzaplex as it's way more advanced than anything FE can cook up. The only way for Afton to be in the game is if he "possesses" the Springlock boards from Scraptrap/ Springtrap. Those boards have minimal coding. It's not comparable with the Mimic1 program and you haven't yet given an answer that justifies why they'd use such an obsolete set of code when it wouldn't even add anything to the game development
It doesn't as the Mimic's code is literally said to have been the most advanced piece of code from that era, it's definitely not comparable to code that only "turns and walks towards sound". Not to mention that Hand Unit quite literally states that the boards scanned have the ability to "digitally recreate performances and personalities", which is almost word for word with how the Mimic is described in Tales: "created the Mimic line, they didn’t want to have to program in every show routine, step-by-step. That was a lot of coding, so they just programmed the Mimic to basically watch and learn. Not only could a Mimic fit into any costume, it was designed to observe the other routines and then mimic them"
William's whole thing is that he's a master manipulator, we see that in stories such as Dittophobia. The crux of the MCI relies on Afton being able to manipulate the MCI to lure them to the backroom. Glitchtrap doesn't know how to manipulate full-stop.
Phone Guy actually explains the code in the Springlocks, he says "For ease of operation the animatronics are set to turn and walk towards sound". The HW Dev team wouldn't benefit from that code as it's
Old and obsolete
Not relevant to programming and developing the game.
There's no real benefit or purpose to have Afton scanned into the HW game.
How would scanning old Springlock boards helps with the game development process? Also, this still doesn't explain why Glitchtrap literally searches how to manipulate people in google when Afton would've already known that
Why would Afton even have been scanned to begin with? And why do we never see anything that suggests Afton is in control of the Mimic1 program, if anything it's the opposite. In the AR emails, Glitchtrap literally has to search how to manipulate people and in GGY and other Tales stories he talks robotic af. Afton's whole thing is that he's an OP manipulator. So why does he have to resort to google searching tips about manipulation?
@IamMimic1
Oh.. I honestly missed that lol. So lemme expand, how exactly did Afton gain mimicry? Seems a bit weird to say he got it out of the blue, no?
Also, hiiii
@IamMimic1
How do you explain Glitchtrap mimicking Tape Girl in HW?
@Snowfeline2008 lmao none taken, I was bored and thought to log into Fandom as just to see if anything's changed, and the first post I see is literally about Glitchtrap lol
The Mimic 100%.
Glitchtrap talks in a robotic tone, both in AR and in GGY. Saying things like "How to induce human compliance". Which also distances it from Afton as Afton already knows how to induce compliance (manipulation).
Hand Unit in HW says that the "boards" used help to "digitally recreate performances and personalities", also saying how "original routines were used where applicable", the entire point of FE obtaining the Mimic from Edwin's factory was because they wanted it to recreate the animatronic performances in other FE branches.
Tape Girl gives more insight into these boards, saying how they helped with "pathfinding", the point of the HW game was to recreate the indie games but in a VR environment (Hand Unit literally says so). It doesn't make sense to use the real animatronic boards as the animatronic pathfinding is basically code that allows it to detect the environment and how to manoeuvre around objects and obstacles. That's not going to help them recreate the indie games, rather using the Mimic1 program to mimic the pathfinding the characters had in the indie games makes a lot more sense.
Glitchtrap even mimics Tape Girl's voice in the HW hub and also with tapes 15 and 16, we even hear it again in the HW2 level Bon-a-Bon when Tilt appears.
We literally have a story in Tales where it explains how the Mimic is able to enter human minds, and take control of their thoughts and actions. It quite literally explains Glitchtrap and how it's the Mimic
There's honestly a lot more, but those are the "main" points ig
The "guidebooks" aren't guides at all, they're full of inconsistencies and blatant errors. With the ITP game leaks and the movie novelisation being the wrong version, it's clear that Scott has a major issue in the quality control department. I mean books like Tales and Frights have dates in stories that contradict each other, so I would take the guidebooks with a grain of salt.
In the files, it's labeled as "70s_Freddy" so technically it's not "Fredbear", but it's most likely a version of Fredbear that was just called "Freddy", and when the pizzeria opened they distinguished Freddy from Fredbear
How is Afton "revived by agony"? And how does that change the Mimic1 being in control of Burntrap?
"(I can understand self repair happening later, closer to Ruin, though.)"That's literally what we said lol
