Minor FNaF Revision: William Afton Pulling Apart Animatronics

[LightSoul8]

phone guy states that the employees had to put mangle back together after every shift, so it couldn’t have been a terribly long period.

Good point. Not much else to say here.

 

[TheShape03]

Again, it's stated by Phone Guy that "the children" took apart Mangle, not "a child". One child could start to loosen a joint, a couple others could loosen it further, and eventually one could disconnect it, for example. One kid could get bored, and the next kid starts where the last one left off.

This issue appears to have been resolved.

They obviously would have had to get through rain to get to the back alley in the first place, though.

Yes, that's a good point, however can you prove that it was raining when they arrived instead of the rain starting when they were already there? Furthermore, that would contradict this, which literally happens in the same game.

Afton definitely isn't a normal human even by FNAF standards, that much should be made clear.

Here it is argued that Afton hid not because he considered himself weaker than the animatronics, but because he wanted to be safe and be in as little danger as possible, but the decision to attack them and try to destroy them with his own hands contradicts the first supposed decision he made (trying to run as little danger as possible). The other possibilities (dismantling them after taking them by surprise and attacking their weakest parts) not only make more sense, but also do not contradict the decision to take as little risk as possible.

If we're speculating about very specific decisions without evidence, maybe he was afraid of the animatronics taking his weapons and using them against him.

What weapons are the animatronics going to use? They are children inside heavy machines.

Assuming that Afton had the time to specifically target the joints without the animatronics retaliating against him, sure. But these are animatronics that can move through entire buildings in the blink of an eye. Actually, that would explain why Afton hid before attacking: he was wary of the animatronics speed, not their strength.

Have you seen his speed in that minigame? I've seen turtles walk faster. Btw, the crossing between rooms in seconds that the animatronics do in FNAF is considered a Game Mechanic. The animatronics' speed here is listed as "Athletic Human".

t doesn't ruin all technology. An animatronic not connected to any notable battery pack or stage is very different than a television.

The animatronics have circuits inside, cables, and many electronic things that allow them to function (plus the metal rusts with water, and they spent years standing in a place where it rains inside the building).

Keep in mind that in FNAF 1, the lights for the entire building, the cameras for every room, and the office doors all used the same reserves of power. It's not at all a stretch to assume the phones used the same power as the cameras, and it's significantly more likely than the phones being isolated from everything else. The location probably still hired security guards to keep would-be burglars out, hence the cameras.

Actually, that doesn't prove that the cameras are still working. If the power that powers everything was working, anyway some of the devices that are powered by it could break and others would not. Cameras can stop working due to exposure to humidity and all that, which is clearly in the building, probably the phone that was used (if it was used, I didn't see the scan to prove it) was simply not exposed to it, but we know that the cameras in those rooms were, since we see those rooms full of dirt and with water falling everywhere.

"Lens fogging, fungal growth, and water damage are all risks to your camera equipment in the tropics and similar environments. It’s not unusual for gear to cease functioning after prolonged exposure to humidity."

Sure, it sounds like something very fun that a child would do, go and spend a while pulling on the limb of an animatronic to try to remove it, get bored and then someone else comes to do the same, of course, now I understand why they turned it into an attraction that could be assembled and disassembled (sarcarm). Do you realize that the concept of a put together and take down attraction (which is what Mangle is) implies that it must be completely possible to put it together and take it down for the enjoyment of children? Otherwise, if it were so boring, why would anyone be interested in going to take it apart? That's an even worse excuse than the previous one.

All valid points. I wouldn't really complain about Afton's profile being a bit neater without that "possibly 9-B", either.

Not gonna lie, Big S and The S brought up some good points

so the problem with proving that, is even if we can't prove that, that just means the other scrap animatronics who aren't there survive in the rain anyways.

However:

Anyway, the fact that water damages them makes more sense here considering that they are robots that have electronic circuits inside, probably what you said happened is a contradiction that we should ignore.

Also, I don't actually see them getting wet, it's clearly raining, but when the scene lights up they look completely dry. I see drops falling in front of them, but I don't see any drops of water touching them. Maybe in the position they are in, the rainwater doesn't reach them enough, idk.

Yeah, I mean, isn't it an objective fact that water ruins technology? Does it make more sense for you to ignore something that you can corroborate yourself by pouring water on a television (example xd) and take into account a cinematic where you can't even see that they are wet?

The animatronics have circuits inside, cables, and many electronic things that allow them to function (plus the metal rusts with water, and they spent years standing in a place where it rains inside the building).

And, at least now, no one else seems to disagree with what I said. You are literally trying to ignore an objective fact (water ruins technology and rusts the metal) in a verse where that same fact is shown. And all because of a scene where we don't even see the animatronics being wet xd (and in any case it would be a contradiction that we should ignore and there are various other reasons why William's feat of "destroying" the animatronics should not be taken seriously). Not to mention that they were only "in the rain" for a short time (from the looks of it), it's not the same as with the animatronics that William dismantled.

As one of the people who assisted with setting the speed ratings, it's not game mechanics, it's just that the crossing between rooms thing is a dogshit feat that's like Below Average Human to Average Human.

There is a sole Superhuman feat that can generally be scaled, but it's not in-use RN.

Above Average Human is for A. Sprinting, and B. Combat speed/reactions, they don't walk as fast as a human sprints lmfao

Agree with the proposed revisions

Hey man,I was wondering if you could place input on my pages where I addressed the fnaf downplay and fnaf world upgrade for revisions on this site.(If im allowed to do that as I am new here)
