The mere fact we're here mixing and matching continuities about Ella's role in the novels(really important by the way) and it's role in the Fazbear Frights books really, REALLY doesn't help your case. Plus, to me at least, talking in general implies mixing and matching of continuities when there are more then one
You're simply questioning the canonicity of a book that is literally a guide written by Scott that gives us information about the franchise just because they didn't make two sections on Ella, it's much easier to just put all the information in one section. The guide does this with almost all the characters, such as BB, where it talks about his appearances in FNAF 2, UCN, The Twisted Ones, etc., even when they are not the same BB. That section of the guide is simply to give information about each animatronic no matter where it comes from, no more and no less, there is information about FF animatronics, the original novels and the games. The guide is called "Five Nights at Freddy's: The Ultimate Guide" in case you want to read it, it is a much more updated edition than its predecessor (The Freddy Files), which contains information about Help Wanted, Curse of Dredbear, the Fazbear Frights and much more. Also investigate the most recent mysteries of lore.
Your missing the point Shape. It's much more of an anti-feat to get dismantled by children with 0 idea of what in the hades that fox thing is or what it's made of beyond "metal and plastic" then it is to be dismantled by the guy who literally knows how every Freddy's animatronic is made like the back of his hand.
Of course not, anyone who attacks the joints directly would be able to disarm Mangle, the children dismantled her by simply attacking the joints. Something that William also did with the OGs, what is the anti-feat there? It would be an anti-feat if William had a harder time dismantling them than the children, then we could say "It's an anti-feat because it was difficult for an adult to dismantle the OGs, but the Toys are easily dismantled by children."
Tell that to Fredbear, who's got a better bite then any of the OGs or Toys despite the fact they came after him
Meh, that's debatable, Fredbear shouldn't even scale to 3 kJ with his bite, what he crushed was a small child's skull and from the looks of it he crushed it slightly, I am sure that a child's bones are much weaker than those of an adult. Mangle (or well, it's the most likely option) literally tore off an
adult's frontal lobe, so he must have broken a large part of the skull, that's definitely much better.
or his physicals after being possessed being comparable to the OGs.
According to the guides, Golden Freddy is not Fredbear, they only have "some resemblance", but the origins of Golden Freddy are unknown.
It is hard to decipher a joke through text mate
Well, it's true.
Re-listen to the FNaF 1 Night 1 Phone Call for me, the Phone mentions dismemberment as seemingly a risk that has happened to night guards before, do we know if the FNaF1 animatronics did it? No, not really, but it is a solid likelihood, and the only thing we know the Toys likely did was the Bite of 87, so they're off the market.
Good point. But the Bite of '87 is still a better feat than Fredbear's and the OGs' feats (biting a kid's skull and the suit thing), and the statement we have simply means that the Toys could also dismember people if they wanted to due to their more advanced technology (Endo-02 also seems to have more volume than Endo-01, so it would be heavier). Btw that "dismemberment" thing is done off-screen and in an unknown time frame, so it's probably not that impressive.
