- I've talked a lot of smack on William Afton and his stupid Springlock Suits in the past, but now it's time to put my money where my mouth is! Today, I put my engineering degree to use and redesign the spring lock suits in a way that is completely safe!

Ok, so apparently the internet has lied to me once again. In the games, the endoskeleton isn’t actually removed, just pulled out of the way. So allow me to rephrase. You should. You should fully remove the endoskeleton. But hey, on the bright side I don’t have to credit William Afton with that idea after all!
There's actually two different types of springlock animatronic mascots.
The Classics use the method you used in the video, with the springlocks allowing the endoskeleton and the suit parts to have a strong connection with each other, and the springlocks are disengaged when removing the endoskeleton so someone can wear the suit, the springlocks can still fail and cut into you, however an endoskeleton won't be jammed into you. This is what's known as a springlock failure, and is how the five MCI kids die during 1985, in the FNaF novel version of events.
The second generation of springlock mascots that were only around for a short time use the method you used in your previous videos, with the springlocks allowing the endoskeleton and the suit parts to have a strong connection with each other, and the springlocks are disengaged, which allow a second set of springlocks to simultaneously pull back the endoskeleton, lining the suit so someone can wear it. These animatronics noticeably have human-accurate hands unlike the Classic springlock suits. If the springlocks can fail, the ones from the suit will cut into you, and a split second afterwards, the springlocks holding the endoskeleton back will fail simultaneously, with the endoskeleton jamming into you. This is what's known as a multiple simultaneous springlock failure.
(Also, Henry is the one who created these suits, with William himself giving Henry credit, it's actually the first time the name Henry is ever brought up in the series iIrc.)
in the NOVELS (silver eyes) universe they have hooks that grab onto the removable endoskeleton at various points

@@ender01o66 I'm guessing William died in a the second generation suit, I didn't know that. thx

Moral of the story: Scott focused more on plot than spring-lock suit design
look at previous game of fnaf yeah very obvious.
ambatukam...
@@OwO377wha?? also, i dont think he intended to focuz on springlocks cuz he just wanted to make a horror game out of his kid games that people said was scary
To be fair if a suit this faulty exists then I have a feeling the suit was a designed killing tool meant to look like a product the company would realistically use just some of his later creations like the robotic ice cream scooper that’s designed to scoop a random kids brain. He just panicked and forgot that for a moment and killed himself, so good job William you hid in your custom Iron Maiden.
@@fist-of-doom487 true doe lol
Considering William's character, is it any surprise that he designed the Springlock suits the way he did? The suits place responsibility of safety on the wearer, likely allowing plausible deniability when a malfunction does occur.
Henry designed them as a trap, not William.
@@oMorse We're told this in the novels, and in the games, Henry also builds the Rockstars for the same purpose, just look at L.E.F.T.E.'s blueprints.
Henry also helped William create the Twisted animatronics.
@@ender01o66that has nothing to do with the springlock suits. Lefty isn’t a springlock suit, it’s used as a way to safety capture the puppet.
@@ender01o66 well, the novels and games do still have a different continuity, and Lefty has nuthin' to do with the springlock costumes.
@@Mike14264 L.E.F.T.E. is a springlock animatronic?
To give Afton some credit, his design is still way quicker and more user friendly. For yours you'd need to pull back each individual springlock, whereas his had a hand crank that you put into the back of the suit and twisted to pull back all the springlocks at once.
You could still do that same exact thing if the Springlocks were on the endoskeleton, in fact it’d probably be way easier to rig up!
@@TheChiptide the springlocks are essentially the endo skeleton in the suit
@@TheChiptide because its retracting all parts of the endo into the sides of the suit making it very unique
There were definitely better ways to design the suit, but I think that what we got in the games is the most thematically appropriate.
Afton designed it with the animatronic in mind first and foremost, disregarding the people wearing the suit as almost an afterthought. Fitting, for sure.
don’t you twist them back one by one in Sister Location?
For the in game version suits work a little bit different from the novel one, the endoskeleton is pulled back instead of removed with a crank that is attached to spring locks so that's the reason why spring trap in game has endoskeleton inside with main villian's organs wrapped around it.
So someone described you the novel version of the suit instead of the in game version which work differently but with the same result.
There's two types of springlock characters, which are featured both in the games and novels.
@@Some_random_Stickman The first novel is a _very loose_ interpretation of the games, but a lot of events and elements flat-out do not carry over into the games. It is not an exact retelling, just an adaptation that was altered to fit the narrative format of a novel. The later two books are even more loose wit the canon, with events that are mutually exclusive with those of the games.
By the way, "also don't argue" is one of the lamest ways you could end this take, as it is basically admitting you're wrong and hoping people will actually follow your instructions and not fact-check you.
@@Some_random_Stickman”I don’t like arguing.”
By saying that and revealing your age, you basically open up the door for people to either correct you or verbally destroy/insult you for being a kid.
A better way is to say: “I may be wrong/This information might not be correct, so please take it with a grain of salt.”

@@ender01o66damn, I think they need to change their name as it seems they DO care
The intro has now got me curious to find out how strong Mario needs to be to do all his fancy tricks
Pretty sure game theory made a theory similar to this
I understand how people got to the conclusion of the endo being separate from the main body, mostly from the books I suppose, but in the games on Springtraps model, it shows him with the endoskeleton still attached, apart from the endo head, since I think that's the main part that would have to be removed in order for a person to fit their head inside. But isn't it possibly that the endo is still attached but the motors are just disconnected, that's what I always thought.
that's my boy!
yeah exactly. i have no clue why people said you take the endoskeleton out when that's not true at all
Yeah, but that design itself also isnt very logical. Ive always been fascinated and intrigued by fnaf 3's springtrap design, and it only looks cool but when taken a closer look, it doesnt make sense as to why intestines and guts are wrapped around an endo suit. Also, there's absolutely no room for a human, even as skinny as William was said to be, to fit in it while it is occupied by an endoskeleton. Look at his feet people. Where do his feet go? WHERE DO THEY GOOO!!!! 😵💫😣😵💫
@@EricLamas The flesh can merge with stuff around if it lays long enough it's biological thing.
@@YokiDokiiIt's true for the classic springlock suits.
Springtrap uses that technology to keep his ends in place when in animatronic mode, but 7nlike the classics, his endoskeleton also contains separate springlock technology that lines the endoskeleton against the suit, and has five fingers instead of four.
The endoskeleton isn’t removed. It’s basically released from tension, made less rigid, and then sort of collapsed back against the inner shell of the suit
If it sounds like the act of tightening the locks back sort of pushes the suit into hammer space… yeah. It’s not practical and doesn’t really follow physics.
But that’s how it goes 🤷🏻♂️
The endoskeleton has to remain inside the suit while William is in there, due to the fact that when it releases, he is basically somehow weaved into the endoskeleton and his bits draped around it.
Hence why in the third game why he is required to follow sound.
He knows you’re in the office, his intentions are to move to the office…
But upon hearing the kid sound, he is basically marched against his will towards the sound by the endoskeleton.
The endoskeletons are removed for the Classic springlock suits with four fingers.
The endoskeletons aren't removed for the Spring Bonnie springlock animatronics.
@@ender01o66 how do you wear a suit with 4 fingers?
@@gregorymirabella1423 you don't, he's fucking with you it seems
@@ender01o66nope it’s supposed to be with you in THE SPRING LOCK SUIT!!!!!
@@gregorymirabella1423 Wdym? I've worn a suit before with just three fingers, and mittens have two fingers, so I don't recall how it's impossible.
For a better example, please look up the images from the FNaF movie set, with one of the actors wearing the Classic Freddy Fazbear suit, which has four fingers. It's really not that impossible.
And in the Tales from the Pizzaplex epilogues, the humans wear non-springlock suits with four fingers just fine.
Another irl example are the Disneyland Micky Mouse suits, which have four fingers.
So you're telling me, this purple man decided "instead of making better, more immersive/accurate costumes that'd be easier to put on, I'm just gonna make a thing full of expensive spring locks that will destroy your everything if you breathe on them wrong"
There is no way in hell that it'd be cheaper. You'd still need material costs to make any forms of working prototype, plus the cost of making TWO.
Yeah the costumes may be dodgy but it can't cost that much more to ask for slightly more accurate suits instead of turbo murder death suit
I always thought it was for immersion, like, a kid sees the animatronic performing on stage and think “wow, that exact same animatronic is coming to hang out!” When they come out sort of thing.
Because if you look at Chuck E. Cheese for example, the suits look nothing like the robots.
I mean the guy had a company so the locks could be some old locks that left somewhere in the magazine.

@@funnyclown12345 True, but how many people has there even been?

@@BHC_08 We don't talk about that.
I think the confusion of the endo skeletons being removed or if they were always inside just shows how cryptic and poorly explained a lot of this series’ information is, because I remember hearing a lot of people saying that the springlocks just pulled the endo skeleton to the sides of the costume, especially considering that this is how they function in the novels. This series man.
This video uses the novel version, while the first video uses the game version. The novels were honestly a mistake in regards to making things in any way clear.
@@syweb2 It's not exclusive to the novels, it's the Classic type of springlock suit, while Springtrap uses a later springlock design, which is also featured in the novels:

"You see, all the animatronic parts in that suit are still in it; they are simply held back by spring locks, like this." - William Afton(Dave Miller)
but how will someone fit in because animatronic endoskeletons aint that skinny
I’m pretty sure you were right about how the suit worked at first
I’ve never heard of the removable endoskeleton idea, and that brings the question of how springtrap still has endo bits inside of him despite being in “suit mode” when it killed him
Yeah that definitely wasn’t true, it just pulls the endo to the back of the suit, so when it releases, the spring locks don’t actually stab you, just launch the endoskeleton into you at high pressure, that’s how William aftons eyes got replaced, and has endo parts all through his real body, or, what’s left of it.
Yea, you cant pull out a endo skeleton as all the parts will just fall, as the ed3o keeps it in tact.
Springtrap is a springlock animatronic, which has both the springlock suit mechanisms, as well as the springlock endoskeleton mechanisms, also known as a simultaneous springlocks.
@@ender01o66 never once did Scott say you could pull out the endo, all spring lock suits only could be worn as a costume with the endo inside or as a animatronic.
@@Bendaeevee That’s only the springlock animatronics, not the springlock suits.
The FNaF 1 characters have springlock suits, and we see a bare endoskeleton without a suit in the Backstage room.
If you want another FNAF related idea... you could cover the doors from FNAF one... lots of people make the joke about the "backward gravity of the door" that require power to keep them closed. For a while, I had been thinking about this for a while, and I had a thought on why they might do this (outside of the in-game reason of game balancing)... The main thing I had been thinking about is how the doors open when the power goes out... while this is inconvenient from the perspective of the night guard... it makes sense when considering fire safety... you wouldn't want a person to be trapped inside the building if a fire were to break out (which we should know is common for the FNAF franchise)... so it's likely to counter this they made a system that closes the door when it's powered... the main way I thought this could have been done is through pistons and springs... where the pistons compress the springs to close the door, which requires power... and the pistons retract when they stop being powered... which makes the springs decompress, opening the door.
I'm sure there is a better way of doing this that doesn't require the door to be powered while it's closed while also allowing it to open when there is no power to prevent the fire safety issues... but the first explanation does work to explain what might have been done.
something a fangame did (“The Glitched Attraction”) supplied a non-canon explanation along those lines: the doors are powered by electromagnets, which hold them closed when the power is on. when the power runs out, the magnets shut off, and the doors are forced back open by springs or something, as a safety feature.
because if the power went out and someone was stuck in there suffocating, the company wouldn’t have any legal recourse for their design choices.
The "it's a fire hazard explanation" has always made the most sense with one minor issue: if there's going to be one company makes doors that'll trap you in a burning building, it'll be fazbear entertainment.
@@alexanderchippel not really. fazbear entertainment the company doesn't have any murderous intent, they just cut safety measures wherever they can get away with. they might be fine with you dying, but it has to be provably not their fault because otherwise they'll have to pay expensive fines.
The real question is why they decided they needed automatic doors when regular ones that lock from the inside would work just fine
I think the biggest L is that you can already wear most irl animatronic costumes just fine. For example, the Rockafire animatronics all use human-wearable costumes, and to stop the costume from sinking inwards or flopping around there's a plastic shell that is always connected to the endo/mech (unless the endo/mech is being worked on, then it can be disconnected).
And while the games are based on Cyberamic (CEC) animatronics, you can still wear those just fine as long as you detach the endo from the costume. Those costumes are a lot tighter but they're still human-shaped, the only problem there would be that the costume would be heavy as they're made out of wood and foam.
The concept itself is very interesting! Having the endoskeleton feature the locks is an interesting idea, and using extension instead of compression springs adds up to the safety of the whole suit. Exept for the fact that it would be a nightmare to access the endoskeleton's fastening mechanism, and even more, this would be a stability hazard for the whole assembly (trust me, I'm an engineer :p)
Other than that, amazing video! Still keen on making my suit accurate, too bad :)
Oh yeah, it’s definitely not a good idea, but when you’re insisting on using Springlocks there’s not a whole lot you can do

@@RedHarlow1886 hey :) I see who you are!
@@technofurs IIRC there was a book moment where the springlocks didn't do shit
Springlock suits probably weren't just a cost cutting measure, they also helped to "keep the magic alive", because no two costumes would ever be identical (especially without mass-producing the costumes), and seeing a character in 2 places at once would break the illusion. Also, the free roam mode probably didn't work when they were made, as the balancing software at the time probably wouldn't have been able to handle walking when they were made, so in animatronic mode the legs would have originally just served to help balance it in a standing position, and it would've had to be used as a suit when they needed it to be walking around. Eventually though they managed to improve the software enough for walking (probably so they wouldn't need to pay a performer anymore), which removed the need to have the performers inside the suits for the characters to interact with the customers, making the springlocks useless. And so they stopped maintaining the springlocks, issuing a warning that they should no longer be used as costumes, and they omitted them from the later models of animatronic (as a cost cutting measure most likely). They probably didn't even stop using the springlock as animatronics until after the bite of 83 (which might have even been caused by the suits no longer being maintained how they were made to be) forced them to rebrand and retire the old characters due to bad publicity.
Since your design allows for the entire endoskeleton to be removed this could possibly still be used to save money. Not by making you need fewer copies of suits but by eliminating the need to build new robots for different characters. You can just take out the skeleton and i sert it into another shell. Say having the classic four being swapped with the funtimes or toy variants.
Idk where the "removing animitronic parts" came from, but from just looking at Springtraps model without the suit you can see the exoskeleton embedded inside of his body. Not just pins and needles..
Springtrap is a different springlock model to that of the classics, however he also features the pins/hooks that keep the endoskeleton in place once he is in animatronic mode.
@@ender01o66 The classics aren't springlock suits, it's just Spring Bonnie and Fredbear. The main difference is games vs novels, as these two continuities have different types of suits - "Springlock animatronics", which are in the games and disassemble the whole endoskeleton, and "Springsuits", which are unique to the novels and use the pin/hook assembly mentioned in this video.

Im confused on how the removable endoskeleton idea was brought up. if that was the case then why would Afton have the endoskeleton with him when he's trapped in the spring lock suit
There's two types of animatronics that use springlocks.
The Springtrap model uses both springlock mechanisms simultaneously, which also both simultaneously fail, which is mentioned in the FNaF 3 tapes.
Just a few corrections:
1: It was probably not William who designed the suits, but Henry.
2: William probably was not a sereal killer when the suits were designed.

My sweet summer child... You were both right and wrong 5:03 , you see, that's the novel version which is it's own separate canon, you were right the first time for game context, the endo pulls back in game and if the springlocks fail the euro is pushed into center of the limbs and torso of the suit or when worn, your torso... Also your limbs would probably be crushed and dislocated because when the limb parts unfold the elbows and knees and whatever have to lock into each other so the mechanism can work
There's actually two types of animatronics that incorporate the springlock mechanisms.
The first type are the classic springlock suits which feature the design shown off in the video, with the animatronic endoskeletons having visible holes for where the springlock mechanisms lock inside. These are the Endo 01's.
These are the classic Fredbear, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy animatronics.
Then there's the full on springlock animatronics, which noticeably always have five fingers. The only springlock animatronics shown off in the games are two versions of Spring Bonnie, one of which is the Springtrap (a literal deathtrap created by Henry featuring springlocks), as well as a Minireena-like animatronic called Nightmarionne seen in the fifth game.
These animatronic's suits have the same mechanisms as the regular springlock suits, however instead of the endoskeleton being taken out, a second set of springlocks pulls it back.
Due to the multiple springlock-type mechanisms in play, these are known as simultaneous springlock mechanisms, which we hear about in the FNaF 3 tapes.
Interestingly, the solution to the springlocks shown off in the video is very close to Fazbear Entertainment's solution to the problem, with the second generation endoskeletons (the Endo 02's), which are built with muscle-like wireframes that expand and retract depending on the size of the suit's limb pieces.
However, due to two bite incidents, the Endo 02's are scrapped, and the Endo 01's are taken out of retirement.
(I should probably mention that the Fredbear seen in FNaF 4's minigames is the Endo 02 version of Fredbear, so he contains no springlock mechanisms).
There's also the Mimic endoskeletons who have the same abilities as the Endo 02's and were also scrapped due to an unknown incident as of now. It's quite possible that these Mimic endoskeletons are actually Endo 02's, just under another name.
@@ender01o66 bruh where the fuck are you getting all this from?
STOP SAYNG THIS SHIT.
In the novels springlock suits did NOT have removeble endoskeleton. Who the f*ck gave you that idea?
Well if we're gonna take springtraps design in consideration, the endo skeleton is indeed moved to the side and not taken out
Yeah, he's a type 2 springlock animatronic, they function differently to the classics.
@@ender01o66dude, books aren't canon to games
Didn't know there were 2 types of springlocks, thanks for the cool fact
@@RedHarlow1886 No problem, it's what Phone Guy meant by the multiple simultaneous springlocks, there's the springlock endoskeletons that can be pulled back to let one wear the suit,
and when the springlock endoskeleton goes back to animatronic mode, the springlocks that are attached to the suit itself push into the endoskeleton so that the suit pieces are firmly connected to the endoskeleton so they don't fall off.
So, in the case of a multiple simultaneous springlock failure, all of the suit's locks will snap right into you, making deep symmetrical cuts all over your body, and a split second later all the animatronic endoskeleton parts the other springlocks had been holding back, all that sharp steel and hard plastic, will instantly be driven into your body. You will die, but it will be slow. You'll feel your organs punctured, the suit will grow wet with your blood, and you will know you're dying for long, long minutes. You'll try to scream, but you will be unable to. Your vocal cords will be severed, and your lungs will fill with your own blood until you drown in it... it's not too nice of a way to die-
Also, the Classics are also springlock suits, we're told that in the alternate timeline of the novels, the kids are placed inside the FNaF 1 mascots, with the springlock pins cutting into them, letting them bleed out to death, however since their endoskeleton aren't springlock ones, they're pulled out, like in the depiction of them in this video.
We're also told that the Classics are springlock suits in FNaF 3:
" incident at the sister location involving multiple and simultaneous springlock failures, the company has deemed the suits temporarily unfit for employees. Safety is top priority at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, which is why the classic suits are being retired to an appropriate location while being looked at by our technicians."
" I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated, or worn. That being said we are free of liability, do as you wish."
There's also the original Fredbear in FNaF UCN, who is a springlock suit, and he's a Classic, so the classics are springlock suits... however their endoskeleton features no springlocks themselves.
So, if a Classic suit had a failure, it'd just be a springlock failure, not a multiple simultaneous springlock failure-

Yeah, I’m aware of how expensive they are, but I’m certain making a Springlocks suit that’s actually practice would add way more than 1000 bucks to the cost!
It pulls the endoskeleton out of the way rather than nuts & pieces. So you were almost right.

Springlock animatronics dont have a removable endoskeleton, instead springlocks are used to pull that endoskeleton back into the suit enough so a human can put it on, if the locks fail(say by lightly breathing on them wrong) they slip loose and the endoskeleton snaps back into place, which would result in your body becoming human spaghetti and dying a slow and painful death(slow enough that you can crawl yourself back to the saferoom and bleed out back there)
As a further note, the books and games are in separate universes and shouldn't be used too often to explain eachothers lore
1, there's multiple generations of springlock tech that all function differently.
2, both versions appear in the games and books.
3, there's actually a third version present in the games.
4, the books share the same universe as the games, they're however set in an alternate timeline.
@@ender01o66there is only two springlock suit types in the series. 1 In the games and 1 in the books. Idk what you are talking about 3rd cause i never saw a 3rd.
@@blakbluSL NIGHT 4
@@janrafhael2885 I think that is still the game version of the springlocks. After all you need to crank it to not let the springlocks go off so I don't think it's any different.
2:45 fairly sure it wasn’t meant to be cheaper, but to be so there was no visual difference between animatronic and costume
I think it was mentioned that Springlock suits also served to keep the immersion intact. So like, kids could watch the characters dance on stage, then those very same characters could step OFF the stage and start interacting with diners
Only thing is William didn’t build the Springlock suits, the other owner Henry did
2:26 you’re not instantly killed it’s actually canonical that a springlock failure is actually excruciatingly painful. The springlocks rupture organs and pierce bones. They slowly dig their way into your flesh. The only reason why someone dies of a springlock failure is because they drown in their own blood. (If that doesn’t kill you, soon after, blood loss will.
So... it seems the only way these things would be cheaper than having both animatronics and costumes, is if they were custom made with recyclable junk.
...which, in hindsight, does explain why they're so unreliable and deadly.
Also, you were correct on the first way you described the springlock costumes, they do have the engines and other parts all stuck inside the sides of the costume for people to get into it... in the games, that is. In the novels, the endoskeleton is indeed separate from the costume with the springlocks.
Wrong
Page 267 of The Silver Eyes
"You see, all the animatronic parts in that suit are still in it; they are simply held back by spring locks, like this." - William Afton(Dave Miller)
There's simply just two types of springlock animatronics, the Classics and the last generation springlock animatronics such as Springtrap.
@@ender01o66 ah, I see... so, does the novel describe Dave's suit as the one with the removable endo? Because, given the models of the games for Springtrap in FNaF 3, and the cut Spring Bonnie model in Help Wanted, do you think these ones still work by the same rules as the novels' Spring Bonnie suit?
@@Mike14264 Dave/William's Springtrap suit's endoskeleton isn't removable, the only springlock suits with removable endoskeletons are the Classics, the ones with the Endo 01 endoskeletons, which we see removed in the Backstage room.
And yes, the Spring Bonnie/Springtrap animatronic is exactly the same in the games and novels
(I'm not sure about the Spring Bonnie in Into The Pit, it'd function the same, but I'm not sure if it's the FNaF 3 Spring Bonnie animatronic or the FNaF 6 Spring Bonnie animatronic.)
The Classics suits use springlocks to lock the suit pieces to the endoskeleton, so they're not loose and won't fall off (as shown in the video),
The last Fredbear's/Freddy's iterations of the springlock suits are all like Springtrap, with the same human hand type opposed to the cartoonish hands of the Classics. The suit's springlocks would act the same as the ones in the Classics, clamping onto the endoskeleton for stability, however, a second set of springlocks unique to these versions of the springlock suits pull back the endoskeleton, allowing someone to enter the suit without removing the endoskeleton.
Hopefully that wasn't too much of a mouthful.
@@ender01o66 ...wait, you think the Classic animatronics, which, supposedly, still use the same endos as the Withereds (somehow, I'm still not sure about that), are also Springlock suits? That doesn't sound right. These are regular animatronics with regular animatronic suits, which can't be used by people as costumes.
@@Mike14264 Yes, we're told that the Classics also contain springlock technology in FNaF 3, and it's said to us again in the novel trilogy.
The more advanced Endo 02's were scrapped after the Bite of '87, the Endo 01's are then taken out of retirement and used from 1988 - 1993.
They're different endoskeletons, and we even see the dismantled Endo 02's in FNaF 3, alongside the Endo 01 suits that were dismantled during Follow Me.
The only 80's animatronics that have no springlock technology are the Endo 02 animatronics and the Funtimes, who both use muscle-like wireframes to connect to the suit's pieces, while the Endo 01's lack this, and instead use the springlocks to connect the suit to the endoskeleton.
I like the idea of afton being a brilliant mechanic, but also having absolutely no regard for human safety/just being super dismissive of any criticism- like “oh, ur telling me these springlocks could kill a person? Bro, _Im_ the genius here, what do you know?? It’ll be fine lol”
Legit tho, this is an amazing video! I can’t believe I’ve never seen your channel before- keep up this fantastic work 🫡
Technically Henry built them as a literal Springtrap, hence the name.
@@ender01o66: |
i love the dramatization "itd need an act of god" and its like the most obvious thing, "what if the super dangerous metal thing _isnt_ pointind directly at my vital organs?"
0:53 I AM NOT A MORON!
yes u are
that design for the springlocks to be on the endo is actually really good!
0:50
William: I told you.
Henry: Shut up man.
Blud was truly angry at 0:55
There is another thing about the spring lock suits that you missed is that the spring locks underneath the costume part of the springlock suits is that they are attached to this exoskeleton and those spring locks are more like hooks to hold the parts in place and it doesn’t seem always likely that the endoskeleton would be taken out when someone is wearing it because based on springtraps design he has an actual endoskeleton fused with his body
How to make a safe springlock suit:
Step 1: put better springlocks
Actually the endo is still in the costume while in suit mode because you can see an endoskeleton in Springtrap that was springlocked
Springtrap is a separate type of springlock animatronic that has an endoskeleton that lines the suit instead of being taken out like the Classic springlock suits.
TheChipTide:How are we gonna make them safe?
Also him:*Turns the springlocks around* Oh.
The way I thought the spring locks worked was they were hollow in a way, with the endo being made of springs and sheets if metal shaped in a way that they can release and contract by being pulled back by the spring locks, so your body fits onto the endoskeleton as it’s been stretched out. Then, when the spring locks fail and realease the endos springs causing the endo to once again collapse and activate the motors and joints, Turning it into a animatronic once’s again! I think this way would work as well, basically meaning the endo is worn by the user and the outer shell then is attached to the parts of the endo that stop it from completely falling apart by limiting how far the endo stretched out! I think this would work possibly best!
This is a really well made video, and criminally underrated. Can’t wait to see what else you make 😁
Same here ^^
I like how Fazbear Entertainment thought it would be easier and cheaper to make this entire springlock system instead of idk.. make a smaller endoskeleton?! Like, just make an endo that is small enough so that it would always leave enough room to let someone fit inside. Boom! No more stabbing issues or whatever thing can happen! The worst thing that could happen is just having the animatronic applying force to move your body if it ever switch back to normal mode and if it has enough force to do so. (Plus im pretty sure some people already did something like that irl.)
Edit: Also you could use the motors to move the suit itself to reduce weight.
There is another way you could do this, instead of having the spring locks be on the endoskeleton or disengaged in animatronic mode, you could invert the spring force direction so that they can be in the same orientation, but revert to mascot suit mode if they fail, that way it can still have the efficiency of the game’s design while also having the safety of springs not under tension in mascot mode.
Edit: so I just described a tension spring before watching that part of the video
While I like the idea and I think this is a much more cheaper and safer way to make springlock suits, but when you look at spring trap from the game he still has some of the animatronic parts such as his fingers or feet (maybe eyes). Which means that unfortunately I think springlock animatronics did have it endoskeleton inside. I could be wrong it’s just my personal thought
You're right, the description he was "corrected" with came from the novels, which explicitly worked differently from the game version.
@@syweb2 Wrong, "Dave" talks about the springlocks keeping the endoskeleton back in silver eyes. They work the same way in both games and the books.
@@cnarylmaz998 I'm fairly certain that the concept of springsuits with removable endoskeletons is not only an established idea in this franchise, but that it originates from the novels. I don't know which book exactly, but it's in one of them. The books also happen to have the game-version springlock suits.
Wouldn't using tension springs in general be way more safer than the compression springs the original springlock suits used? Would that not just.. completely prevent all that stuff from stabbing into you on a failure because it *couldn't* fail if you were wearing it? Because the springs wouldn't be all prepped and ready to suddenly stab anyone on a whim, even if the springlocks were inside of the suit rather than the endoskeleton? A failure could only occur if they were stretched out for animatronic mode. Plus, by using the round/flat ended model rather than the weird pins, you wouldn't have to worry about accidentally knocking into one if you were inside the suit since it wouldn't stab you even then.
You’re absolutely right!
"We're you trying to do a bad job?"
William whose goal was to make the suit as deadly yet slightly safe as possible to kill people :
William must've gotten his springlocks for a bargain deal of 150% percent off [the 50 being from a clearance aisle and the 100 being due to quality]
0:41 damn bro chill
1:32 how dare you question my knowledge
I dare.
for example, spring locks move parts of the endoskeleton to the sides of the suit, rather than holding the endoskeleton, while when the locks have moved, parts of the endoskeleton are still in the bone
I just realized this basicaly is what the mimic endoskeleton does
You could as well use the tension spring locks that are pulled in by default, on the suit rather than the animatronic just like the original design. It'd still make it fully safe, as the spring locks are in their relased mode and wouldn't shoot back up or something. You'll have to pull it and load it with energy to extend it so if they fail they just pop back to "safe mode" where the pins are away from the inside. And only downside would be that the cloth could maaaybee fall off of the animatronic, maaybe
William Afton said it was my turn to be pinned 🥺
7:38 Fazbear Inc would never hire this man no matter how good the design is
this design would make it harder to stuff kids in inside of these suits with the endoskeleton without having the bodies just flailing around
All I would do is use the same idea the original suit had but use way larger and stronger springlocks, to further reduce the likelihood of death. Helps with looks, stability in animatronic form, and cost seeing as we would need less springlocks in the suit if they were to be larger.
Realistically, a suit concept like this would probably take the form of a powered exoskeleton with a mascot costume linked to it at key points
Similar to how people want powered exoskeletons on soldiers to don more armor
Also something to say is that suits in the game were built in the 1970’s and 1980’s. So I don’t think they would have spring locks from this year. So for there time they were probably pretty advanced or at least the best ones they could get for a cheap alternative at that time.
Fun fact, spring lock failure death isn’t instant, it’s actually really drawn out and you’ll die of drowning in your own blood before you die of bleeding out because of punctured organs, this is explained in a (questionably canon) book
The Endoskeleton isn’t removed. From what I can tell, based off of Game messages, the spring locks hold the endoskeleton against the sides of the suit with the core splitting in half and being held on the sides of the body of the suit. The spring locks will cause you to bleed but it’s the endoskeleton returning to its active position AKA where you are that kills you
Also the spring lock suits were made for two reasons. The first was because it’s cheaper and the second is so there wouldn’t be any differences between the animatronics and people which could break immersion
30 years later: A dead person in a costume was found in a secret room during the demolition phase of an old restaurant, his identity unknown.
William Afton during this entire video "I'm impressed.Your hired."
The spring locks aren't actually the dangerous part they're just holding back the endoskeleton that can crush your bones if they come lose
I meant loose
Most animatronics actually aren’t bolted into the floor, but instead are connected to the floor with tubes because they are air pressurized.
12:04 well that just takes the fun out of it
"Fredbears Family diner" the spring locks got retired after the bite of 83
I always figured they must have been built from industrial salvage. Because purpose built tech wouldn’t hurt you, but animatronics made from random bits of industrial salvage might.
Fazbear entertainments understanding of safety was „dont worry, you’re safe!
*if you’re not in there* “
The design used in this video is the design that gave William Appleton his first springlock failure, but he got out before he lost too much blood, this was revealed when he.. took off his fricken shirt and suit to show it to somebody in the books, his final failure was his son- his moving endo design
Fredbear's Family Dinner:
"If you're about to die, please don't DIE in front of people. Don't you wanna ruin the experience!"
Such an underated channel, brilliant mind with an brilliant humor. Love this.
I have a feeling the suit was a designed killing tool meant to look like a product the company would realistically use just some of his later creations like the robotic ice cream scooper that’s designed to scoop a random kids brain. He just panicked and forgot that for a moment and killed himself, so good job William you hid in your custom Iron Maiden.
"Your injuries are not work related." -William Afton
:Meanwhile the injuries at question
The spring locks are actually like nails that go into your body
16:53 No you made an orange "Old Man Consequences".
the spirings arent powerful enough to crush the human body, its only enough to penetrate skin which not only isnt that expensive but is supported by the idea that you actually dont die from your body being crushed or even blood loss but the fact that you bleed so much in a confined space that you actually drown from your own blood. Its the reason william afton was able to survive his first encounter with the springlock suit collapsing on him in the novels.
Tbh considering the cost of fursuits I see the logic behind these and them being able to chafe you or pinch you but the strength of these things in the games is insane
Bro i though u were a massive channel due to the dedication to even make a few jokes and the editing. This bro is mad underrated!
finally someone that tries to see realism in the springlocks, everybody just ignores that ain't nobody getting inside the suit with a damn whole endoskeleton inside.
by the sound of how easy malfunctions happened in fnaf 3's old logs William Afton probably soldered the springlocks at home with old, rusty bed springs
I have never actually subscribed to someone when they asked me to. Just always seemed annoying or desperate. But my man, the delivery when you said subscribe was gold tier 👌
I love your charisma and your personality, lezz goooooo imma subscribe
i think at some point in william insanity the whole killing someone inside the suit was actually a feature
the springlocks are in suits for a reason, you need them to stay standing up on the stage.
Spring locks you say, allow me to introduce someone who knows of them pretty well

Flipping genius idea, having the springlocks on the endo rather than the suit itself
Your channel is just amazing, I thought your video was extremely fun and educational!
i'm surprised how long it took me for CZcams's algorithm to recommend me this channel since most of my watchtime is spent on accounts that do engineering and gaming lore stuff, not to mention when i want background noise so i find a 6 hour exposition dump on some obscure FNaF fan theory i really don't care about. and Pastra videos.
Glad i found it though since a lot of these videos seem right up my alley
