Yup, I wrote an entire essay with pictures to take the blame from a fictional gator that became my comfort character. If someone from Steel Wool is reading this: Yes, Iām ok, thanks for asking. If you want to send a cute Monty picture to my inbox, it is open and Iāll be all over the place if you do it.
Now, let me take you with me on this wild ride, because this theory fits the narrative of both Security Breach and Ruin so well that I have to clap at Steel Wool if it is actually correct and not me playing with the puzzle pieces incorrectly. So, here we go!
Bonnie, judging by the golden eyes and his travel pattern, was protecting someone like Freddy did with Gregory. Important damage was directed to the stomach hatch, where a kid could hide.
He has claw marks there, but Monty didnāt got his until the first was decommissioned and was then modified to play his bass.
The scratches in his hatch are green, but also the cracks over it. It looks like it is his base color instead of paint left by the attacker. The next video is from FazFriends, where they look at every single detail in the Ruin animatronic models. Their analysis are totally worth your attention if you like SB!
Monty has black nails, even before he was modified to play Bonnieās bass. They also are kinda blunt, and the marks the attacker left seem more clean and sharp in the ends.
Now, there arenāt lots of animatronics that have claws. We have Roxy (and Iām guessing Foxy, if he ever existed as an animatronic different to her), The mimic/Burntrap, who doesnāt really seem an option because heās slow and in life support in SB and sealed in Ruin, and⦠thereās Freddy. But, and hereās the twist, not normal Freddy, who couldnāt get through gates like Monty until he got his claws.
Not only do we have environmental clues that confirm this attack, but also a key clue that wouldnāt make any sense otherwise.
Letās start with the Prototype itself!
Check those claws. They are sturdy enough to survive all the damage this model has received, and extremely sharp at the end. Now compare Bonnie and its hand togetherā¦
Itās a perfect fit. The metal is a bit bent in the left, but if you could lower it, the finger length, the palm, even the distance and shape between the thumb and index are the same than the hole in Bonnieās chest.
If that detail is true, all pieces of the narrative fit together. Hereās what happened, which I will explain further adding sources:
This next part is not so clear, so Iāll give you my version of what I think happened that night: Bonnie alerted police that a kid was in danger. They show up, but Vanessa sent them away, claiming she was the only person there and it was a prank call (False Alarm message in SB). Vanny uses Bonnieās trust on Freddy against him: she sends the prototype to go after the kid and him. He makes it to Montyās, where the hurricane causes damage to the prototype, and is then finally attacked and disassembled behind his attraction to silence him and bury any clue or what happened (his parts are all over the place, one of his arms has weel marks, and Ruin follows the PQ ending where Freddy is disassembled. In SB, endos come out from the lines to attack us, and in Ruin we see the zone where his vanity is infested with STAFF robots, both in its normal version and in VR, where a giant STAFF robot is seen being dragged to a door while it leaves scratch marks on the floor).
Fazbear Entertainment pretended they actually looked for Bonnie and found nothing at all. As a final punishment for his disobedience he was actively being erased from existence: most of his art was removed, and some ask for a re-theme of his attraction (Re-theme SB message). They make Monty the main bassist, giving him his green room too.
These changes are being quickly pushed after his decommission: Bonnie still has power when we find him, Monty falls from the catwalks āa month agoā and snaps in half, a place where he goes every time he skips a performance (Monty Mischief SB message), people constantly ask for Bonnie and there isnāt an approved answer to give, the bowling alley still wasnāt given a re-theme after taking out most of Bonnieās images.
Despite FazEnt efforts, Bonnie is remembered, specially by a depressed Monty.
His body was modified, he was given his bass, his glasses, his room, his role. The higher ups clapped thinking about the possibility of him being even more popular than Bonnie, his disappearance becoming yet another opportunity to make money.
From that day, and after getting new claws, his attitude becomes obsessive, endlessly searching for what was left of Bonnie after the rest gave up: destroying fences to explore the undergrounds, constantly missing shows and always being found in the catwalks, even after being snapped in half by the hole-in-one bucket, trying to guess where his body was. His last known location was his attraction, so he should still be there somewhere, isnāt it?
Let me repeat this: he prefers looking for Bonnie in the catwalks even at risk of his own integrity than performing.
There are more details that show us he does care for him: there are four official images left of Glamrock Bonnie in the PizzaPlex, three of them in Montyās ride, the last one at the entrance of his own attraction, where some animations can still be seen. These cutouts are in perfect shape, while Freddyās is light off.
There is also a headless Freddy statue that once you go to FazerBlast screams āprototypeā.
It looks like itās been decapitated by a hurricane, some ācablesā coming out of its head like the prototype, which has cables coming out of its neck.
This damage couldnāt have been caused by the earthquake: the head should had fallen to the ground instead of being pinned on the hurricane. Plus, it doesnāt match the theme of the ride, based on cutouts, and while the rest of the elements are placed in scenarios and their composition is clearly studied, this statue breaks the symmetry of the hurricaneās eye element, that is supposed to give you the illusion that you are entering its eye and being pushed out to the main attraction.
Whatās more, in a story exclusively about Montyās past and how he became a solo bassist in the PizzaPlex thanks to Bonnie, attracting the same amount of people than the Glamrocks themselves, a Freddy statue at the end doesnāt make any sense sense at all⦠Unless it was put there with a very particular purpose.
I like to think itās part of an environmental story telling from Steel Wool, specially when you read the rest of clues together.
It also has two blue long lines through his chest that resemble the ones in Bonnieās.
If you still have doubt about how it is part of a scene representing the night of the attack, then you should know there is an easter egg here: if you follow the part of the tornado that goes up, you can see a Bonnie cutout at the very top of it. Heās far away from the rest of the scene and he looks like if he was being knocked by the tornado. If you zoom to look at his face, you can see he has a worried expression.
Monty didnāt destroy any of the images of Bonnie or his previous iterations, not the cutouts, not this poster, not the bass that belonged to him, even after causing damage to his room.
There is a detail in Gator Golf that is easy to miss: An intact poster of the original Bonnie near a log he uses as a hideout in Ruin (we see him quickly going out of it when we approach it).
He looks similar to the illustration at the entrance of Bonnie Bowl, but this image is not very charming. He looks half dead, yeah...? If you then go to Bonnieās, some big screens are still on and advertising pizza. When you wear the mask, they change to a glitched version of the Bonnie animation, where his eyes go blank in a similar way to this poster.
This spot couldnāt have been used by Vanny: it is decorated exactly like the rest of Gator Golf in the base game, which ends with us saving Vanessa and exiting the PizzaPlex together.
The poster also has a drawing of Freddy stuck on it. In this chapter you can also find the Bonnieās piƱata collectible, the first time we can see his Glamrock design and the first clue of him having suffered an attack (it has a big gash in his chest).
He could have easily taken it down if he wanted, specially when it is so close to his hideout and heās in such a volatile state, but he keeps it right beside it.
The most common example in Security Breach is the arcade version of Montyās Gator Golf. There are two possible readings for it, depending on if you think it represents Montyās mind or if you think it has been hacked to change his behavior.
Hole 1 depicts Freddy separated from the group, a big distance between them. Hole 9 shows him in a dumpster, and Chica, Roxy and Monty playing together. Heās never part of the group, so either Monty hates him or he was hacked so he would hate him, right?
But the main show were he looks happily at him while playing, the fact that he never attacks him even after being hacked, the presence of images of him on other holes all perfectly light and ok like this balloon, and the eye color difference between Hole 1 and 9, make me think Steel Wool is trying to tell us a way different story.
The Freddy in the dumpster is the only one with golden eyes. Hole 9 represents what is happening the night we play as Gregory, the AR part of the AR-cade, and of the main reasons the Monty taking down theory was so popular.
That night, Roxy, Chica and him are working on finding the kid to the point that their cases crack and get dirty, while Freddy not only glitched at the start of the show hours before, but is now also walking around the PizzaPlex doing NOTHING instead of helping (apparently).
Itās the animatronic equivalent of a group project were one of the members does nothing, so you have to do their part and then they show up and are praised. It makes sense he would be angry at the situation and think heās trash, but even so, there are no real confrontations between them.
But what about Hole 1, then? The answer is the fireflies. There are some fireflies at the left part, but the right, where Freddy is looking, has other set of lights. If you calculate the distance from Chica to him, the center is almost where the hole is, the part of the arcade that is supposed to drag your attention. Having an empty space there feels uncomfortable and a very questionable decision from whomever designed the scene, but if this one is a reflection from reality or Montyās current mind state, why arenāt Freddyās eyes gold?
Well, I donāt think he is separated from his band.
I think someone is missing from the picture instead.
Bonnie was erased from the Arcade.
As it was said, these changes were quick and non-planned: they deleted his model from the arcade, but had no time to move and reprogram the positions of the rest of the characters so the space between them was filled. As a consequence, when you play this level, your attention is taken from the hole to the distance between them.
It is void, awkward, it makes you uncomfortable. You know something is missing, but you canāt quite tell what it is yet. It makes you wish there was one more character there even before you knew there actually was.
Once you learn what happened, how his story ties to the place this scenario represents, the void he left in Freddy and Monty specifically, Hole 1 gains a new meaning, and it hits you. When you go back to the PizzaPlex as Cassie and play the arcade, thereās no joy left there. No fireflies, no Glamrocks, just ruins. Two pairs of red eyes and a pile of Nightmare STAFF bots. Thatās all thatās left.
But if you still need one more clue to convince you that the prototype was the one that attacked Bonnie, then let me tell you there is a final one that wouldnāt make sense otherwise:
The AR collectibles dialogue.
Cassie always makes a commentary about the things she finds: Montyās AR plushie being very glitchy, how she wants to add Roxyās one to her collection, how the her father wouldnāt tell her why they replaced Bonnie and how he was his dadās favoriteā¦
But she also asks him what happened to him, and gets an answer when she gets the last collectible.
The AR Golden Bonnie is hidden in Bonnie Bowl, next to a Wet Floor Sign bot.
She hasnāt been to Fazer Blast yet.
But the description answers the question that she asked him: a prototype.
Reminds me of that one doodle where the mouths are comically large.

@pudim-16-world asked " How does Dunn possess Glamrock Freddy in this AU?"
This was a really good question and one I wanted to tackle in semi-comic form. The version of events that lead to Officer Dunn possessing Glamrock Freddy are ones I have put my own twist on based loosely on the FNAF novel The Silver Eyes by Kira Breed-Wrisley and Scott Cawthon.
In my opinion Officer Dunn was a character that had a lot of potential and had an excellent base for true and meaningful motives that could have driven him and the FNAF lore forwards.
Iāll start with some background. Officer Robert āBobbyā Dunn was new to the department in Hurricane, Utah. At the start of his career he had taken on a number of cold cases. One of which being Hurricane Utahās most infamous, the disappearances of 5 children at local pizzeria, Freddy Fazbearās.
Bobby dug into the evidence surrounding the events that transpired. He began investigating further, which led him to the doorstep of the then closed building that had once been operating as the restaurant in question. He made multiple trips to Freddy Fazbearās and was able to uncover old files, blueprints of the building among other documents. All of which aided in fleshing out missing details from the original report.
The chief of police found out about Bobbyās ventures and advised against his continued digging. He was worried for his officerās safety in a building that was legally condemned by the city. Despite this however Dunn returned to the restaurant, feeling he needed to take one last look.
It was raining hard the night Officer Dunn arrived at the rundown establishment. Upon going inside he had the strangest feeling that he was being watched. Bobby made his way to the back office, in the hopes of retrieving files that may have been left behind. Employee records, spreadsheets, checkbooks, anything.
The next thing he knew his throat felt like it was burning and he couldn't breathe. The last thing he sawā¦was a rabbit. Decrepit and laughing wildly as it loomed over him while he bled out on the dirty checkered floor. Bobbyās world went dark⦠The moment that he was self aware he found himself standing in that office. With no concept of how much time had passed or- what happened to him. Thinking it had all been a strange dream he attempted to leave but each time he tried he would wind up right back where he started⦠in the office.
Bobby soon met them. The little ones. The children who had gone missing. First there was oneā¦the bravest. Then there were two. Soon he was in the presence of more.
They were scared...Bobby realized almost like he had forgotten- that they were the reason he had come here. Any relief Bobby had felt by finding them evaporated when he realized they were like him. Goneā¦just not entirely.
Over time Bobby gained their trust, learned their names and heard their stories.
Each child had met the same golden rabbit dressed in purple who lured them away from their families and led them to their end. Bobby promised them that no matter what happened⦠he would protect them. He would not leave them and that somehowā¦he would see justice carried out.
They stuck together from that day forward, becoming some version of a family. Bobby had always wanted children and they needed him. The officer took it upon himself to ensure nothing happened to any of them. The children showed him the suits that their bodies had been hidden inside of. One of them⦠the bravest, had excitedly shown how he could manipulate the robot itself. Making it talk and do exactly as he wanted rather than whatever it had been programmed to do.
The Animatronics were their safe space, the item they felt secure to hide away in. Bobby, having not been stuffed into a suit at his end, had the freedom to move about where he saw fitā¦on an endless security patrol. After all, he had no reason to hide.
The case files that Bobby had looked into, stated that five children had gone missing from the Pizzeria but he had only met four. Gabriel who resided within Bonnie, Susie who remained within Chica, Fritz who hid inside of Foxy and Cassidy who took up residence inside Freddy. Cassidy was the only child who ever hid from Bobby, wanting nothing to do with him. She was aloof and untrusting. Angry and spiteful. She had died on her birthday and she definitely asserted herself to be the ringleader of the others at least for a time.
At first Cassidy would use the Freddy suit like the others but eventually she seemed to vanish entirely. Losing interest in the suit like a child outgrowing a toy. They all looked for her but never came back to them. It almost seemed as though she did not want to be found.
Bobby had thought maybe she hadā¦passed on. Moved on, perhaps found peace? At least that is always what he had hoped was true. Though he was not entirely sure, sometimes he thought he could still hear her. Eventually with her absence persisting and the children wishing him to stay closer to them Bobby begain to occupy the Freddy Animatronic.
He has been inside every sense. Every rendition the mascot has undertaken , every upgrade. It's still him. Hiding like the rest of them. In plain sight but unseen.
Over the past forty years Dunn was able to put together the full story. Which quickly became stranger than fiction .
One of the founders of Fazbear Entertainment, William Afton, was responsible for the murder and disappearance of the children, Officer Dunn and countless others who had worked for the company. He was tried and acquitted of all chargesā¦found not guilty by the courts due to the lack of evidence. Meaning he got away with it. He got away with all the lives he stole.
The justice system failedā¦but karma seemed to come back around for Afton. In a fitting twist of fate that man who had dismembered and stuffed the bodies of small children into the suits of animatronics met his end inside of one. He diedā¦but he didnāt leave. He remained inside that crumpled bunny suit until Bobby walked into that office. Giving him a new victim.
William Aftonās soul lives onā¦free from meeting the justice for his actions and free to continue his twisted experiments within the catacombs of the pizzaplex. The childrenās souls can not truly be at rest until he is gone for good and Officer Dunn has sworn to put an end to this cycle once and for all. Protecting everyone to the best of his ability, as he swore to do when he first donned the badge.

Sometimes that change can hurt and putting on a happy face in the midst of uncertainty can be difficult.
Choosing to keep moving forward one step at a time can be the hardest decision but hopefully the one that leads to a better place.

How well do the other ghosts get along with their glamrock hosts? We've seen some interactions with Officer Dunn and Freddy and they seem to have an amicable relationship, but what about the kid ghosts (Gabe, Susie, and Fritz)? Are they harder to deal with or do they get along with their animatronics for the most part as well? (For instance, does Susie and Glamrock Chica have any disagreements about the latter's 'eating habits')
Children & Robots
Wonderful question to ask! I think the children each have their own special bond with their robot counterparts. Of course having an A.I. to talk to is so much better then being alone!
I may go into more detail or provide examples of little moments each have shared with one another at some point! In the mean time keep the questions coming!
~Spookiš¤
Are the glamrocks aware of the ghosts possessing them? I know thereās been a few drawings where Officer Dunn has influenced the actions of Glamrock Freddy and I assume itās the same for the other ghosts/animatronics, but can the two sides directly interact with each other?
Good golly! That is an amazing question!
Things were absolutely easier for the spirits when the animatronics had no functioning A.I. Now that they do itās simply another obstacle they have to overcome when reaching out. Officer Dunn happily allows the Freddy A.I. to preform and handle parties at the pizzaplex. Where personal affairs and more intimate interactions are often where Dunn comes forward. Which may shed some light on why Freddy appears to be wholesome and clueless in some dialogue only to become calculating and well versed at the drop of a hat. Seriously keep these coming! You guys are my superstars!
