From Chapter 2, 'The Prototype has saved us! Isn't he wonderful?'.
A number of death screen messages mention The Prototype. Given how Mommy states it, it is implied that toys are fully aware of what is going on in the factory. It could likely have been taken from those he killed, as when Mommy Long Legs was being crushed to death in the grinder, she screamed that "He'll make me part of him." This suggests that he's taking parts of toys and humans and making them part of his body. Human bones can be seen tangled in the wires of the hand, showing that The Prototype was once human or that it took bones from one of the employees. This theory was disproved in Chapter 2, as Huggy Wuggy was referred to as " Experiment 1170" in one of the logs left by the Scientist. With the initial release of Chapter 1, players theorized that The Prototype was Huggy Wuggy. Although, it has been theorized that he is the one that instructs the monsters during their tutorial. While he doesn’t make a physical appearance, his hands are one of the GrabPack Skins in Project: Playtime. Near the end of the chapter, before Poppy's monologue gets cut off, we hear the sound of an alarm clock going off, implying that the Prototype has captured Poppy. He reached out and took Mommy's torso away, dragging it away back under the door. On August 8th, 1995, he started a massive massacre/jailbreak, theorized to be called "The Hour of Joy", against the scientists, based on the sounds of screaming, pounding, something running around in the vents, and the cutting off/supposed death of the scientist recording the tape.Īfter Mommy Long Legs was killed by the grinder and her severed torso fell to the ground, The Prototype's claw appeared from under the half-closed door to the left. Hearing from the Final Log Tape from Chapter 1, he managed to escape and go missing. He apparently killed the specialist who was trapped inside, as 'one casualty occurred.' He tried to escape through the door but was re-locked before he could. Upon which he hid in a blind spot, forcing a surveillance specialist to come in. However, one day, he created a laser pointer from the digital alarm clock in his room, fired it at the camera and disabled it for 28.3 seconds. The Prototype was kept in his chamber, monitored at all times.
The Prototype likely had the optimal "vessel" of a living organic experiment, of which he was serviceable as a crucial example for "the others", presumably the other experiments. Guessing by his name and the flashing messages from the Chapter 1 Trailer, he is the prime example for "the type of vessel which (we) are trying to create". This suggests an uncanny knack for manipulation, planning, prediction, and a conniving personality. This, coupled with the Scientist's description from Log 08502, confirms that The Prototype is highly violent for no apparent reason.Īs his claw appears immediately to take the torso of Mommy Long Legs after her death, and the door then opens for The Player with no other hostility, it is possible that The Prototype is 'helping' The Player progress through the factory in order to use The Player to kill the other experiments for himself to assimilate. In the Chapter 1 Trailer's background, flashing messages state that The Prototype 'finds no necessity for sustenance (unlike the others)'. It is theorized that The Prototype takes parts of other toys around the factory and makes them a part of him, most likely to strengthen himself and help him achieve his motives, though said motives are currently unknown.
A scientist explained, in one of the VHS Tapes, that The Prototype had managed to construct a laser pointer from a digital alarm clock in his cell and tried to escape by using said laser pointer on the camera in his chamber, then hiding in the camera's blind spot whilst the camera was being fixed. He has also been confirmed to 'possess an unprecedented level of intelligence', being able to combine basic objects and wreaking havoc around the factory. The Prototype has been described as though he actually wants to commit violence for no reason. He also seems to have a human radius and ulna attached to his forearm for additional support. It is a robotic arm with red wires and a hand with long, sharp needle fingers, resembling a claw. While his main appearance remains mostly unknown, his arm has been seen.
