Why / How do the animatronics actually kill you?

In the first game it is stated that the animatronics think you're a skeleton without a suit and stuff you in one, which of course kills you.

How ever, in the second game, the phone guy mentions that during the night, they think they're in the wrong room and just go look for some people. He doesn't mention why searching for people makes them kill people and what method of killing they use.

Now, I am not entirely sure of everything. I think I remember that he also talked about the old animatronics in this game and how THEY would stuff you into a suit because you don't have one, but I think he never explains further what motivation the new animatronics have. (Please correct me if he does say something like that)

I've locked a couple guards in the parts and services, but thats just me. I guess that they lock you in the parts and services room and then old ones kill you (for some reason..)

Pathetic roleplayer.

There is many changes in the animatronics from FNaF1 to FNaF2.

Phone Guy mentions the animatronics "thinking you're an endoskeleton without its costume on" in 2, as well.

That, coupled with the deathscreen, implies they shove you into a suit.

That said, the most likely reason is that they - or at least the old animatronics, and by extension the ones from 1 - are haunted by the ghosts of children killed by a guard, and believe every guard is that same person thanks to malfunctions and/or screwups in their facial recognition, which may or may not have been caused, again, by the haunting. Or alternatively the Marionette, seeing as it caused and/or committed parts, if not all, of the murders; it is depicted as shoving the children into the suits, after all.

But that said, the reason why they're after the nightguards is: they're getting back at their murderer. They just don't know he's already dead, or are afraid they're just killing innocents and he's still out there - and as such, continue to make sure. Every time, they think it's him. Then they think again every time the dead guard is replaced. And again. And again. And again. And..

Hell, the animatronics might be doing it of their own accord; it might not be a haunting that caused it, but them going berserk on their own.

That whole "guard was murderer" thing is implied by the Purple Man being depicted as a man wearing a badge in one of his rarer appearances...

...and, more importantly, holding a phone.

The whole "animatronics went berserk" thing is implied by a voice in the deathscreen minigames - seemingly Freddy or one of the others - spelling out "SAVETHEM" in The Chase, "SAVEHIM" in Give Cake, and "HELPTHEM" in Give Life.

They couldn't save the children, so they're going for the next best thing.

And now, they're too afraid that he's still out there to stop.

And if the children are doing it... then they're just as afraid.

Either way, by the time Mike takes the job, there is nothing left to fix. This is how it has been, is, and always will be.

You can't mend a broken mind.

(note that the idea that they know they're ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up every single time and can't help it and they may have gone insane by 1993/whenever the hell Mike takes the job is purely my headcanon; that said, it makes enough sense)

Like you, tloy, I believe the animatronics are specifically targeting the guards themselves and not just adults in general (although, according to Phone Guy, they do "stare" at adults, so at the very least adults that are not garbed as a guard are regarded with suspicion, it seems). Which makes me wonder what it would be like for those working the night shift if they did not come DRESSED as a guard at all. Would they still be attacked on sight or, at the very least, would the animatronics regard them with suspicion before leaving them alone/moving in for the kill? Better yet, what about children DRESSED as a guard, like, say, for a costume party of sorts? What would happen then?

I'm just gonna go for backstory here,because the spirits of the children are possesing the animatronics,they want revenge,and you probably think,"Well the toy versions kill,so what about that?" Well,the spirits are possesing the old ones,but the old ones were taken apart because of,"Glitches,"the toy models are made out of the old animatronics parts,so it wouldn't be suprising that the spirits can control thier animatronics toy counterparts too,because the parts of the old ones are on the new ones,to the point to where the toy ones are currupt,then,the puppet,he was the crying child in the first game and the death minigame in the second game,he was the first to die,so the crying child and dead children wanted revenge on this purple man,so the puppet gave the kids new life so they could get revenge,simple! But killing innocent people,something angered them so much they also kill innocent people,yeah,good one there phone guy! !!! OMG !!! I just realized something! Maybe the purple man wanted them to kill! This might be it! We have to wait for Scott to leave more clues though... so be ready for Freddy and more backstory clues guys! FNaF 3 coming 2015!

Here's another idea: stop spamming filth.

In the second game he breifly says "and trying to stuff you in a suuuiiit , so hey, we gave you a FREDDY FAZBEAR head."
