FNAF 3 theories

he New Animatronic: Salvage, Hybrid or Golden Bonnie

Since "Five Nights At Freddy's 3" hasn't been released, one thing that fans don't know is the name of the trailer's new animatronic. The three names in bold have all been adopted by "Five Nights At Freddy's" Reddit community, but, for the sake of this article, let's agree on Salvage.

Why is this name appropriate? Because the animatronic in the trailer doesn't appear to be an exact replica of Bonnie from the previous two "Five Nights At Freddy's" games. It's hard to tell from pictures alone, but it appears that Cawthon's latest creature may feature Freddy's torso and Bonnie's head. The top half is enough to condone the name Golden Bonnie, but, through weathering or part mismatches, it doesn't appear to be the exact same one.

As for the origins of this supposed "Five Nights At Freddy's 3" star, it's been highly discussed that Salvage is a manifestation of Scott Cawthon's nightmares. Cawthon previously said that Bonnie has always haunted him, and now that animatronic may have its own game.

The funny part is, some Redditors claim that gamers may have seen Salvage before as the "Shadow Bonnie" hallucination in "Five Nights At Freddy's 2." The figure certainly looked like Bonnie by shape, but it sported a glaring set of white teeth not seen in any of Bonnie's variations. Salvage on the other hand, certainly has a mouthful. Was Scott teasing gamers about "Five Nights At Freddy's 3" long before it existed? The possibility is certainly there.
