Plushtrap is in the Box and his secret

[Garley]

Thanks to Rydi for helping me point this out. Feel free to point out any more evidence or post a counter argument.

Before we begin on this theory we need to take into account my reasoning. I'm and 82er meaning I believe Fredbear's was NOT open at the same time as Fnaf2's revival location. There's already tons of evidence to support this, but You should probably see other theories on the whole thing. I'm going to bring it up a lot so it's best you review it yourself.

Anyway onto the Theory..

WHY PLUSHTRAP?

Simple, he's not featured along with the other Nightmares along with being small enough to fit in the case. Many (including me) believe Plushtrap is the Purple man or at least what's left of him. "But Twisted..." You begin to type "Plushtrap is just a part Fredbear's merchandise! Remember the green-eyed girl??!" Well now hold on, let's back up.
1. The Girl refers to her plush as spring Bonnie, while the game refers to our toy as Plushtrap. Yes that may be a stretch but Springtrap isn't officially referred to as spring Bonnie, that's just the suit he occupies.
2. If you believe our main character is the same minigame character, we never see him own a "Spring Bonnie" plush.
3. Along with #2 Fun with Plushtrap is featured in a four (or more) door hallway not see in our minigames Child's house layout.
Plushtrap also is believed to hold a dark secret, but we'll get into that later.

ARE YOU SURE HE ISN'T A NIGHTMARE?

Yes, while he features the teeth he does not feature any of the other Nightmare features, such as claws, wires, etc yet he feature the the teeth to make him look official and for merchandise (like a certain scary attraction that was supposed to hit big.)

SO WHEN DOES FNAF 4 TAKE PLACE?

That's hard to say, our main game could take place somewhere from Fazbear's Fright being announced, to years after it burns to the ground. Realistically I'd say about a month or two after the items are salvaged and auctioned off.

SO HOW IS PURPLE GUY STILL ALIVE AND WHATS IS HIS POINT?

Ah, you catch on fast, here's where the big stuff comes in. So as we see after FNAF 3 Springtrap is (at least not entirely) burnt and as such his soul still stays. So how did it occupy Plushtrap? Well I'll have to bring in an obscure movie ending that not many have seen...

In Child's Play 2, the original theatrical version ends with our two characters walking off out of the Good Guy factory. However in a TV version it adds an extra minute of footage where a piece of Charles Lee Ray (Chucky) doll body falls into a vat of wax where he is processed and made into a new Good guy, grinning.

Now that little bit of footage is where my theory comes from, Plushtrap was made with the remains of Springtrap. Either that or his soul just made its way into some merchandise, but that seems to simple, but that's not how this universe works). Whoever bought him (whether it be Phoneguy's grandson or random kid) brought back what's left of a killer with him. It also brings up a line form the game many seem to forgot "What have you brought home with you"

SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

It means, Plushtrap is the cause of the Nightmares and reappearing off the same dream. As FNAF 3 showed, purpleguy seemed to gain some supernatural powers (or hallucinogenic stench) that causes the phantoms to attack the player. Not only do they feature the eyes of his Springtrap body, but they seem to act intelligent (along with them cussing errors in the systems). Whatever strange powers were caused by Springtrap carried over to plushtrap. It also adds some light on how trapping Plushtrap makes the nightmares last two hours shorter.

"But Twisted" again smashing your keyboard "Phone dude explains it's the oxygen that causes us to see crazy stuff" well I did some research, and People experiencing hallucinations usually have dementia or a disease. So if that's the case, our character most definitely should not be taking this job (along with the killer robot and low pay).

WHY IS HE USING THE NIGHTMARES?

Simple, he's been transformed into a toy. He's no longer a hulking mass of metal, he's a tiny little toy. Using his supernatural powers are his only means of killing.

WHY THE BOX?
Because that's kid could do, trap him. He always comes back so destroying won't work. Locking him way is the only way to stop him, at least for now..

SO...THE BOX IS THE END?

Yes and no, Purpleguy doesn't get to go to Heaven or Hell. He spends the rest of all eternity trapped in a box. Or at least, that's what I believe. It's really up to interpretation anyone could uncover the box and relax ease his evil yet again, but are we really to in 2060 some kids going to go crazy for that toy (and that's purple guy being typed with Fazbear's for almost 100 years.)

So that's my theory, though there is one part that goes against it...

Nightmare

Nightmare sticks out like a sore thumb, it can't be Shadow Freddy (shadow Freddy is just purple guy incarnation of him luring the children) also it features an opposite colored yellow hat. He doesn't really support any theory, due to his presence not making any sense.

Other stuff:
The whole logic with Springtrap getting tuned into Plushtrap comes from the logic that the Fnaf2 withered suits are turned into the FNAF 1 suits. Since in this universe, the technology inside the suits affect the way the possessor thinks acts and controls.

BB is just another nightmare, his existence proves that FNAF4 is after the creation of balloon boy

Mind Blown

[Rydi]

Yeah, mostly what I believe except that I think the box contains the written story of FNAF, including names, dates, locations, possessions etc.

Springtrap was burnt in the fire, hence why his spirit was released in the first place. Since only items savalged from the fire were auctioned, I find it unlikely that someone would be able to access these pieces and put Plushtrap together. In fact, said person would have had to do this at home since the attraction wasn't the safest place to be in after the fire, so how did Purple man get into the newly built Plushtrap? I still think the most feasible explanation is that they found merchandising from the old days when Freddy's still had the springlock suits, Plushtrap is indeed one of the spring bonnie plushies AFTER being possessed by Purple man (Spring Bonnie --> Springtrap; Spring Bonnie plushie --> Plushtrap). The newspaper clipping announcing the auction shows a figurine of Freddy, which already hints that there are toys and merchandise up in the auction, like Plushtrap. It's just so innocent yet so dark to think the plushie was auctioned and given to a child... not realizing it contained the spirit of the murderer that brought down Fazbear's Entertainment empire.

I think Plushtrap is the key, too. I mean, think about it...
He represents Springtrap, who, started the whole mess with the murders as Purple Guy in the first place.
I believe that in the Plushtrap teaser, the thing obscuring the spotlight is the box, and the purple blotch is a lighting error.
Not to mention that he's from the original location, Fredbear's Family Diner: the place where it all began.
There was one more reason I had that was in one of my posts, but I forgot what it was...

[Garley]

The whole, spring trap being stripped into Plsuhtrap is a little far decked I'll give it that, but PG should've acesended on once the Springtrap suit burnt (which is hinted that it doesn't). So the idea is that what's left of purple guy that isn't thrown away or burned is transferred into Plushtrap.

I made the idea based on the side of this universe, once a spirit is attached to an object, it can't ascend until it's destroyed. Then again how did I the puppet move from Fredbear plush to the puppet?

[AntEmpire]

Then why are Nightmare's game files titled "Shadow Freddy"?
