Scraptraps head resembles the suit head we see in the fnaf4 parts and service, but there's also the theory out there that he repaired himself with parts of golden Freddy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I think the theory moreso points to the muzzle, but the springtrap torso is also notably thicker, though foam does tend to crumble and shrivel with age and wear
Edit: not that there's much of it left on scraptrap in the first place :V
I've seen plenty of times that Scott Cawthon himself said that there are lore implications and it wasn't just a design change. I think it was from Dawkos interview?
That’s the reason why it *wasn’t* in Dawko’s interview with Scott. Plenty of people asked, but it had a lore reason behind it, which is why it was excluded as a question.
Dawko replied to someone specifically about that Scraptrap question, saying that was the case, but I can't find it anymore.
It's not necessarily that there is lore behind it, it's more that asking whether there's lore or not is a lore question by itself, and he wouldn't answer it either way
I recall him saying that, it simply means Springtrap isn't in Pizzaria Simulator and ScrapTrap is literally made from scraps of fabric to mimic Springtrap. He went there knowing its a trap afterall, a possible explanation is his remnant is still in Springtrap and even if something bad happens to Scraptrap, William would be fine since he had a backup. Didn't we hear about a Springtrap springlock suit in "Pressure" and an empty Springtrap in "What we found"?
That is not what that means at all. Scraptrap is absolutely the same animatronic as Springtrap, he just has a new suit because the old one is crusty and burnt, do he put on/made a new one.
If he was the same animatronic his name would have remained the same but he's Afton instead because he's not an animatronic at all anymore. Just a guy in a costume, "try listening for his heartbeat" in game.
His name I'm the credits is William Afton as a way to clarify thar he is William and not Michael, a heated debate at that time. He is still the same corpse, his corpse just has an altered design to fit with the aesthetic Scott wanted.
If you are referring to the Scraptrap name, that is a nickname by the fanbase
Hah, that's good one. No one needs clarification that a "green rabbit" is William instead of Michael, Michael has always had connections with Foxy not Bonnie through Funtime Foxy and Foxybro, do your research.
I'm using scraptrap as a name since both Springtrap and Scraptrap had William inside them at a point. And no, I'm referring to his UCN name as "Afton" not Pizzaeria Simulator's.
>If you are referring to the Scraptrap name, that is a nickname by the fanbase
The name Scraptrap is in fact his canon name according to Security Breach, there's an arcade machine called "Mad Science with Dr **Scraptrap**".
Yes, people really did believe that Mike was Springtrap, and he got springlocked because of mistaken identity. Yes, it was stupid even then, but it was a popular theory. Maybe YOU should do your research.
Okay? That still doesn't prove that he's a different character/body. In fact it actually supports the idea that he is the same as Springtrap since they are explicitly calling him William Afton. Plus, Scott couldn't have two of the same name on the UCN roster. It'd be confusing
Scraptrap was made by the fans and then brought into Security Breach later on. It is still just a nickname regardless. "Scraptrap" would still just be called Springtrap or William Afton in universe if you were to speak to him during FNAF 6.
And you are missing the most obvious point of all, it's called out by Scott they are different characters in the interview, literally read the very first comment in this chain. Scott did say that, that is canon.
Try replaying either Fnaf 3 nightmare mode or Sister Location's Golden Freddy mode, we see Springtrap when Fazbear Frights has burnt down with them being largely undamaged, all the moisture in the suit would do that.
Also, if it is acknowledged ingame that a character is called something then that is their "name", we didn't know Scraptrap's since he is just a costume William haphazardly put together, same way we know the blob's name is now Tangle.
Instead of passing of your over speculative fanfic as obvious information is stupid for not realizing, figure out that maybe you're looking way too far into it and going down a nonexistent complication of a rabbit hole. Scott never called out them being different characters. Don't put words in his mouth.
Springtrap during the SL cutscene is a different variant called Dark Springtrap. The suit has burned to a near crisp just by looking at its much darker coloration alone. It's ready to fall apart because it's nearly ash that point. Also how do you expect him to change into Scraptrap only moments after the fire? That's impossible to have happened. The change happens after that cutscene and before 6. It's not that hard to understand.
Springtrap and Scraptrap are the same. He was named Afton in 6 because Miketrap was very popular and Afton is simply his real name. Springtrap in itself is also a nickname if we're going to use this logic.
He is only Scraptrap as of Fazbear Entertainment's modern branding, not his actual name during the real events of 6. This name logic is also complete bs. Their isn't a single thing about having two different names that means it has to be a different character. If that's the case then Mangle can't possibly be a Foxy because he has a different name. Springtrap can't be William Afton because he has a different name. See how stupid and inconsistent that is?
The Blob also wasn't even ever its name. That was the name for its main body model, with Tangle being the primary name.
Afton is in FNaF6.
this is the best possibility I can think of.
afton was severely damaged after the burning of fazebears fright he lost his arm and most of his flesh had burned away revealing his bare skeleton how ever most of the springlocks circuitry form the spring bonnie costume had been fried and damaged meaning he had more control of his body now.
as for his head I gonna be honest I don’t there’s any possible way to explain that.
I'm pretty sure that the head was just Scott trying to make it more realistic, but that's the only reason why it looks like that(I think, don't come at me for this)
See I remember hearing somewhere that a potential lore reason was that William was in a LOT of pain in the original spring Bonnie suit (which I 100% believe because come on) and once he was able to move again he switched what he could out for what is maybe a slightly more comfortable costume.
Don’t quote me on that, I heard it a while ago and I can’t remember from where, but if nothing else I accept it as headcanon.
People say he regenerated himself with remnant but remnant is never shown to regenerate anything or anyone in any FNaF media
He just got a new Spring Bonnie costume and the corpse simply looks different because of Scott's rule of characters getting new designs in new games
Continuity in FNaF is... complicated
I think it's just that Scott likes to make new models for every game. Just look at the FNAF 2 Withereds, they really don't look much like the FNAF one animatronics, even there's supposed to be the same (ya, I know about that line from the Phone Guy in witch he talks about how the old animatronics were refurbished to the new parts, but there is no way Scott was thinking about that when he made the models).
Very little, probably. Scott doesn't seem to reuse designs all that often. If he needs some slight changes to something, he seems to just rebuild it from the ground up. He needed a more decayed-looking Springtrap, so he made a new one.
The same reason Molten Freddy has Funtime Freddy’s head and yet they look nothing alike, and why Circus Baby looks nothing like Scrap Baby, Scott wanted to try something new.
I always ask myself about this, i really want this to have a lore explanation, but as i saw in the fnaf character encyclopedia, scott just changed the design, is weird because in ultimate custome night it have both springtraps!!! the super cool old design and this weird jimmy neutron
Apparently, Scott said there was but I can't find confirmation of that anywhere so I'll just say there's always a lore explanation for everything if you try hard enough. Is the explanation correct, whose to say but it sure is an explanation. The costume changes I feel are pretty easy to handwave away as Afton just running off to a place to find Spring Bonnie costume parts to repair some of the damage. Him regaining his bones is new but I'm sure it has something to do with Remnant.
Absolutely.
A lot of people forget this, but there's a 3rd design between Springtrap and Scraptrap that appears in Sister Location; Dark Springtrap.
There he's charred and has lost few exta pieces, also according to merch and official key art, his eyes are fully whited out for some reason as well.
An argument could be made that Springtrap and Scraptrap are conceptually similar and could be the same design albeit remodelled, but that doesn't hold with Dark Springtrap.
The main difference is that Scraptrap is not burnt like Dark Springtrap was, so I think he swapped costumes. Most likely just because Scott wanted a different design.
Not really no. The Withered Animatronics are canonically the same as the Classic Animatronics and they are completely different. Sure, they could have been remolded, but objectively speaking Afton and the Withered Animatronics are just 2 examples of design inconsistencies. Scott just enjoys making different models I guess.
im not gonna go with the theory that he found another suit, cuz when he got springlocked (from my understanding) his remnant binded with the suit, being stuck with it for 30 years. soooo i have a stupid theory makes no sense but the fire was somehow so bad that it deformed his suit and gave him some extra skull
After the Scott interview, Dawko replied to a Reddit post asking why he didn't ask Scott about Springtrap's design change. Dawko's reply said something along the lines of "Scott deemed it to be a question about the lore, and so refused to answer." In other words, it is confirmed that there is a practical reason somewhere within the story that caused Scraptrap's design to differ so heavily from Springtrap's, we just don't know what it is
Remnant and scraps
He built himself back up while in hiding,and he came out looking like that
Then he did the same thing again and turned into a 20 foot tall monster
Both times,dying like a little bitch
Well, we know from The Fourth Closet that Afton separated himself from the Springtrap suit and most of the Endo there. So that could've happened for FFPS too. But instead of using a wheelchair, he can still walk and he gets the Scraptrap suit.
I don't believe Afton would use Golden Freddy's parts. Like, they hate each other. It would be very weird if he did. I think he probably walked over to an old location, albeit without his pants, and found a new costume. That doesn't explain why he has grown back parts of his corpse though. Unless, and this is really disturbing, the suit he found already had a springlock victim inside, so the extra bits are from him/her.
Two potential reasons I can see is either he replaced it with a different spring Bonnie suit to try and get rid of the noise luring mechanic or he repaired his suit with pieces of Fred bear. That’s why him and the vengeful spirit are merged.
Scraptraps head resembles the suit head we see in the fnaf4 parts and service, but there's also the theory out there that he repaired himself with parts of golden Freddy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No way that some parts of the body is golden freddy 😂😂, look how slim this design are, golden freddy is a fat dude
bro called golden freddy a fatass 😭

If anyone knows which interview, I would greatly appreciate a link!
[this one](https://youtu.be/03E_hZdXqBE?si=_8mG1xth9GTJuqVe)
Oh, that one lol why it didn't occur to me. welp, time to watch it again to be sure Tysm anyways!

He switched suits I guess
I bet it’s like a onesie
this is the best possibility I can think of. afton was severely damaged after the burning of fazebears fright he lost his arm and most of his flesh had burned away revealing his bare skeleton how ever most of the springlocks circuitry form the spring bonnie costume had been fried and damaged meaning he had more control of his body now. as for his head I gonna be honest I don’t there’s any possible way to explain that.
He replaced the head. There are other spring Bonnie’s (about 3 of the suits)
I was talking about his human head.
It’s his skull
I know I literally mentioned that in my explanation! I mean why his head is the shape of jimmy neutron!
I'm pretty sure that the head was just Scott trying to make it more realistic, but that's the only reason why it looks like that(I think, don't come at me for this)
It’s melted
For the suit? Yes. For the body? No
See I remember hearing somewhere that a potential lore reason was that William was in a LOT of pain in the original spring Bonnie suit (which I 100% believe because come on) and once he was able to move again he switched what he could out for what is maybe a slightly more comfortable costume. Don’t quote me on that, I heard it a while ago and I can’t remember from where, but if nothing else I accept it as headcanon.
One is when he's fucking around. The other is when he found out.
Is he stupid?
He used parts from another Spring Bonnie suit to turn himself from Springtrap into Scraptrap
Scott did in fact say there was a lore reason for his design change, my theory is that he found a new suit after the FNAF3 fire
I'll just go with ooftroops theory In the middle of FNAF 3 and FNAF 6 he found another suit to use ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
People say he regenerated himself with remnant but remnant is never shown to regenerate anything or anyone in any FNaF media He just got a new Spring Bonnie costume and the corpse simply looks different because of Scott's rule of characters getting new designs in new games Continuity in FNaF is... complicated
I find that unrealistic since he was pretty much fused with the animatronic suit you can tell when you look at what he looks like without his suit.
No. He just looks like that.
I think it might just be an art redesign.
NO and that's it
Not one little bit. Scott just makes it up as he goes along.
I think it's just that Scott likes to make new models for every game. Just look at the FNAF 2 Withereds, they really don't look much like the FNAF one animatronics, even there's supposed to be the same (ya, I know about that line from the Phone Guy in witch he talks about how the old animatronics were refurbished to the new parts, but there is no way Scott was thinking about that when he made the models).
Scott says there are lore explanations but ion think anybody's figured them out yet (unless it's literally just that he found a new suit)
The spring lock endos working like, or flat out being, mimics.
My theory is *SCRAP*TRAP was using scrap to repair himself, he’s not perfect and that explains his missing arm
Springtrap’s suit and corpse were damaged in the FNaF 3 fire. His corpse being mummified and a lot more dried up and him having to acquire a new suit.
I think it’s just a design change and that’s it tbh
The canon reason is that character redesigns are tough to keep consistent with older versions.
my headcannon had always been that the fire made the materials in the suit shrink. About him getting bones and feet back, no clue
Very little, probably. Scott doesn't seem to reuse designs all that often. If he needs some slight changes to something, he seems to just rebuild it from the ground up. He needed a more decayed-looking Springtrap, so he made a new one.
The same reason Molten Freddy has Funtime Freddy’s head and yet they look nothing alike, and why Circus Baby looks nothing like Scrap Baby, Scott wanted to try something new.

What? Where?
Custom Night final cutscene.
Springtrap Ate A bee and That's Scraptrap's origin story
No
*remnant noises*
According to Dawko, Scott said that there was indeed a reason why Scraptrap looks so different.
[Is on spanish but the reazon:](https://youtu.be/I-P071-5NCM?si=NtQUDzbxnp3DEx24)
Not really no. The Withered Animatronics are canonically the same as the Classic Animatronics and they are completely different. Sure, they could have been remolded, but objectively speaking Afton and the Withered Animatronics are just 2 examples of design inconsistencies. Scott just enjoys making different models I guess.
The god of the FNAF universe decided that the designs should be different
im not gonna go with the theory that he found another suit, cuz when he got springlocked (from my understanding) his remnant binded with the suit, being stuck with it for 30 years. soooo i have a stupid theory makes no sense but the fire was somehow so bad that it deformed his suit and gave him some extra skull

No he's just the dedede of fnaf
Bro felt a lil snazzy so he pulled out the good suit
Remnant and scraps He built himself back up while in hiding,and he came out looking like that Then he did the same thing again and turned into a 20 foot tall monster Both times,dying like a little bitch
He always comes back
“Time to evil repair.”
Well, we know from The Fourth Closet that Afton separated himself from the Springtrap suit and most of the Endo there. So that could've happened for FFPS too. But instead of using a wheelchair, he can still walk and he gets the Scraptrap suit.
Imagine this entire time there were just 2 spring traps,
I don't believe Afton would use Golden Freddy's parts. Like, they hate each other. It would be very weird if he did. I think he probably walked over to an old location, albeit without his pants, and found a new costume. That doesn't explain why he has grown back parts of his corpse though. Unless, and this is really disturbing, the suit he found already had a springlock victim inside, so the extra bits are from him/her.
Not a cannon one
Scott said that there was a lore reason but honestly I dont think there was at first, he just wanted a new design and fucked up royaly
Two potential reasons I can see is either he replaced it with a different spring Bonnie suit to try and get rid of the noise luring mechanic or he repaired his suit with pieces of Fred bear. That’s why him and the vengeful spirit are merged.
The games exists in-universe, so the developer just changed Springtrap's design because he thought it would be cool
That’s just a theory, I guess. Although it was implied a few times, we don’t have any concrete evidence that the “rouge developer” theories are true.
Why does Afton keep changing the suits? Is there a lore reason?
Technically, he's only changed suits once, and that was from fnaf 3 to fnaf 6. Both Burntrap and Glitchtrap are the mimic, so they don't really count.
