MoltenMCI Alter-S

The great compromise.

**MoltenMCI Alter-S** (the S stands for Springtrap) is the theory that the souls of the MCI victims haunt/power the Funtime Animatronics (MoltenMCI), except for Golden Freddy's soul, who instead latches onto Springtrap.

At Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, William Afton dismantles the haunted classic Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy animatronics during the FNAF 3 Follow Me mini games. He melts down and injects their remnant into the funtime animatronics, who combine to become Ennard and eventually Molten Freddy. At the end of the Follow Me mini games, William goes back to find Golden Freddy, but instead is chased by the spirit of Golden Freddy and the 4 classic animatronics' spirits into the safe room. William attempts to wear the Spring Bonnie suit to stop them, but the springlocks loosen and he is killed, becoming Springtrap. Golden Freddy's spirit then latches onto WIlliam. In FNAF 3, Golden Freddy drags around what is left of the other spirits from their old costumes. The events of the Survival Logbook also happen during FNAF 3. In FNAF 6, Molten Freddy, Scrap Baby, Lefty, William, and Golden Freddy attached to William are burned by HRY223 (Henry). Golden Freddy continues to torture William after being burned, as shown in UCN.

## Evidence

See also: MoltenMCI
* The One You Should Not Have Killed explains through Orville the Elephant in UCN, "I will keep you here. No matter how many times they burn us.**”**
	+ This can be read as the spirit of Golden Freddy explaining to William that despite being burned multiple times, they will continue to torture William.
	+ Golden Freddy saying they and William have been burned may refer to the fires in the FNAF 3 and FNAF 6 location, which would imply that Golden Freddy was there for both of the fires.
		- Golden Freddy may be represented by the crumpled Freddy suit seen in FNAF 3 and would be spiritually attached to Scraptrap in FNAF 6.
* Henry states in the Insanity Ending, "I have to call them all back. All of them. Together in one place." The implication being, if Henry is talking about the MCI victims, then they are in separate places and he has to bring them together.
	+ MoltenMCI Alter-S fixes an issue with MoltenMCI. The regular theory is that all the MCI victims are together in Molten Freddy, which does not make sense within the context of what Henry says. Molten Freddy is one entity that can only be in one place. Under MoltenMCI Alter-S, the MCI victims are split, with 4 in Molten Freddy and 1 attached to Scraptrap, and therefore are in multiple places.
		- A common counter to this is that Henry may not have known the Funtimes became Ennard or Molten Freddy, however, the scrapped blueprint shows that Henry did know about Molten Freddy.
* The Candy Cadet story about the orphans under this theory can be interpreted as William being the burglar, Mike being the man, the stitched together orphans being the 4 funtimes and Baby, who become Ennard, and Mike's body being the coffin that Ennard goes into to escape the Sister Location Bunker.
* In the Fazbear Frights story The Man in Room 1280, William Afton is given nightmares by Andrew, a spirit who attached himself to William's spirit so he could torture him. MoltenMCI Alter-S follows the same mechanic, with Golden Freddy's spirit attaching to William and eventually torturing him.
* In the Survival Logbook, it is implied by The Ultimate Guide that the spirit of Golden Freddy, who's name is revealed to be Cassidy, is writing in the Logbook.
	+ Under LogbookFNAF3, this is possible because Cassidy is attached to Springtrap, therefore being around to write in the logbook.

## Problems

* MoltenMCI is largely off-screen and assumes the Follow Me mini games take place over multiple nights, where in between nights he is melting down the animatronics and injecting remnant into the funtimes.
* At the end of the Follow Me minigames, all 5 spirits disappear. There's no indication that Golden Freddy alone latches onto William.
* FNAF 3 implies that the spirits still haunt the costumes, as the eyes of the masks still glow in the bad ending, and the masks have no glow in the good ending. This theory has to assume that souls can be split across different animatronic parts.
* Despite being attached to William for potentially decades, Golden Freddy does nothing to stop William in FNAF 3 or FNAF 6.
	+ Under GoldenTOYSNHK, this issue is more severe, as Golden Freddy is shown to have the ability to trap William's mind in UCN.
* Although a reason is given in *The Fourth Closet*, it is not immediately clear in the games why William would inject remnant into the Funtime animatronics.
* This theory largely relies on BVReceiver, where the Crying Child moves on during Happiest Day in FNAF3, and Golden Freddy continues to be attached to William Afton.
