The Prototype

"I built us a home and kept us safe. And you repaid me by bringing in an outsider... And plotting to destroy the only heaven you or I will ever get.” — The Prototype to Poppy Playtime, Chapter 5: Broken Things

The Prototype: is the main antagonist at Playtime Co. And one of the two potentially immortal Experiments, the other being Poppy Playtime. Cunning, intelligent, and violent, The Prototype was Playtime Co.'s 1,006th experiment under the designation of Experiment 1006 "The Prototype", or simply Experiment 1006. Dr. Harley Sawyer believed that there was an invaluable secret within him, and he was determined to uncover it. The Prototype was the orchestrator of The Hour of Joy. This event happened at the Playtime Co. toy factory in 1995, causing the death of countless employees and visitors at the hands of many of the company's experiments. Afterwards, the Prototype used his old identity, Oliver Ludwig, to keep tabs on his enemies and deceive Poppy Playtime. He wished to confine her once again within her case after she was released by The Player. He also teamed up with a wary Sawyer to uncover a secret. It’s speculated to be the same secret that Sawyer himself was trying to uncover through The Prototype.

The Prototype is similar to a Drider. Lower half is "spider"-like, while the upper half is "humanoid" The Prototype has sixlegs, just like a spider, and his upper torso is reminiscence of a clown. -The Prototype can climb walls, hang upside down, and do what spiders can do (He cannot make webs though, she just "looks" like a spider on his lower body).

Appearance

-Height; 10ft tall (He can change his height anytime).

"He was right outside the door last night. Just staring and tapping at the wall. All I can think about since is that clanking of metal, those spidery legs, that face. ” — Reconnaissance Report: 01.10.05.

The Prototype is a towering cyborg built of a combination of mechanical and organic parts. The top half of the Prototype's body is a humanoid torso resembling a jester, featuring a cracked porcelain face fixed in a wide, unnatural grin of square teeth. One eye socket is dark and hollow, while the other contains a small, glowing, orange mechanical pupil. He wears a worn, three-pronged jester hat with bell tips, along with a tattered blue coat and red bow. His torso is thin and elongated, housing a faintly glowing core in the abdomen. Long skeletal arms hang at his sides, ending in sharp articulated claws. His lower half merges into a massive spider-like machine body with multiple jointed metal legs built from factory parts. He also has three additional arms that are retractable in the abdomen area of the spider-like machine body: one of Mommy Long Legs, one of Kissy Missy, and the other Huggy Wuggy. Along his back is the skinned fur and equipment from CatNap that allowed him to emit The Red Smoke (including the gas canisters and the actual emitter itself). His body is very similar to Doey's aggressive form, such as the 3 arms protruding from the front and a long torso with 6 legs.

After The Player jumps out the train as it crashes with The Prototype inside, his appearance is roughly the same, except more charred and blackened. His mask is noticeably more damaged, with visible cracks splitting across from the inside of his right eye socket and in different areas of his mask.

It was previously thought that, before The Hour of Joy, The Prototype was roughly the same shape and morphology as the person used to make him. It was not until Experiment 1160 that experiments were no longer bound to those rules regarding their shapes and sizes. However, by the time the Player returns to the factory, it seems that 1006 may have grown in size. The Prototype apparently modified his current body from the spare parts of dead toys. As a result, he is not of human-scale and is, in fact enormous in proportion to the Player.

Personality:

"Intelligent, cunning, and crafty, the Prototype is loved and respected by those loyal to him, while being simultaneously hated and feared by all others. Though little is currently known about the original experiment, his presence has been constant in the Player’s journey. More will surely be revealed in due time.” — Character Bios.

The Prototype exhibits a personality solely built upon his hatred and spite, wishing for the downfall of Playtime Co. He is a cunning and stubborn monster. In a conversation with Harley Sawyer during Log 24459, the Prototype's "voice" was heard for the first time (He mockingly replayed the voices of various employees). He engages in a monologue about his motivations, questioning Harley Sawyer's thoughts on the effects of the Bigger Bodies Initiative and the mistreatment of experiments. After Sawyer retorts and comments on learning something new about The Prototype at each meeting, he sarcastically thanks Harley and repeats his words back at him in Harley's own voice.

The Prototype was known to be unprecedentedly smart and intelligent, as shown in Log 08502. He devised a plan to escape his confinement by using a laser pointer device, fashioned from his alarm clock parts and other components. He fired it at the security camera in his room, disabling it for almost 30 seconds. Then he hid in a blind spot to make it look like he disappeared. He aimed to get through the cell door once an employee went in to confirm his whereabouts. This failed when another employee locked the door from the outside. However, with the other employee being locked inside with him, The Prototype then attacked and killed them in that moment. This shows that he is unrelentingly violent at times.

The Prototype is manipulative and deceitful. For example, he told Theodore Grambell how to get a GrabPack 2.0, despite knowing how young and inexperienced the boy was. Another instance was using a persona based on his former human identity—Ollie—in order to fool both Poppy and The Player. He lured them both into a false sense of security. He used the persona to have The Player rig Safe Haven's generator to blow itself up[15] and to get Doey the Doughman to turn on them.

He is also known to be highly charismatic, as he influenced many of the other experiments into taking part in The Hour of Joy.

It has been shown that The Prototype takes the bodies of other experiments to make them part of him.

There is only one known instance where he seemed to genuinely care for another being, the aforementioned Theodore Grambell. After Theodore was electrocuted, The Prototype gave up his chance at freedom to save the boy. He brought Theodore to Thomas Clarke for medical aid, without any possible benefit to himself, and long before Theodore could have been converted into CatNap. CatNap would then follow the Prototype around whenever he was present, despite The Prototype largely ignoring him.[16] In the events of Chapter 3, the Prototype as "Ollie" praises CatNap's strength while emphasizing his threat level, and his killing of CatNap is implied to be partially a swift mercy kill instead of malicious betrayal.

The end of Chapter 4 finally gives more insights into his character and motivations. He is obsessed with Poppy and desires to get her to join him. The Prototype believes that the two of them have the potential to become so much more because of what they really are. He had put her in the case until she saw things his way. Now he desires to take her and put her somewhere she will never want to leave.

The Prototype also carries a sense of gratitude, or "fairness", albeit heavily twisted. CatNap's genuine loyalty was rewarded with control over Playcare and a lot of free reign over the toys within, something CatNap would sadistically exploit when building his cult. The Prototype states he remembers that Preston Willard, one of the scientists involved in the Bigger Bodies Initiative, was kind to him, specifically, and therefore spares his life. Instead of killing him, he has Preston converted into a toy, apparently considering the horrific new state a form of reward, although it could also have been to keep him as some form of company since the Prototype has mentioned that “Infinity will be lonely”

The Prototype is surprisingly somewhat protective of Poppy to a degree as even after disfiguring her (despite proving a valid argument), he stopped Lily Lovebraids from touching her. He also flinched at the sight of cracking Poppy's head and dropping her, causing him to look at his own hand in shock, instantly regretting hurting Poppy and not listening to her, showing he didn't want to kill her and fled in terror after provoking Kissy's anger and adding another layer of boundaries he's not allowed to cross. This means that, despite his obsession and cruelty for her, he still cares for her despite the trouble that he caused, and even outright holds himself responsible for locking her in her case and admits that it was his fault for not realizing why she was acting the way she did, showing a side of sympathy (albeit more twisted) for Poppy. Although not confirmed yet, it is reasonably plausible that The Prototype just wants to bring her back home so he can reunite the Ludwig family in order to fully clear Elliot's name and bring peace to everyone that suffered from Playtime Co.'s atrocities (and by saying he put the Orphans in a "Better Place" [which is his words for mercy-killing them], he secretly and vaguely but strongly implied that he himself also wants to permanently end the Bigger Bodies Initiative for good and hold the originators responsible for all the mass suffering (though this has yet to be confirmed).

The Prototype's behavior towards the Player is odd, as he watches over them from the shadows and even helps them out, even if it was a trick in the end. When Prototype finally meets the Player face-to-face, he refers to them as an outsider as if the Player was never supposed to be here at all; although he does threaten to turn them into a Wrongside Outimal, while still respecting them for their strength and bravery, being fully aware that they made it this far to find their missing colleagues and to help end Playtime Co.'s atrocities. Instead of leaving them to die after the train crashed after being defeated for the first time, he tries to kill the Player by taking them to a vat of Poppy Gel before kidnapping Poppy, only for Giblet to rescue them.

History:

Ollie:

“ Experiment 1006: "The Prototype" He seems serviceable as the prime example for the type of vessel which we are trying to create. ” — Hidden text in the Chapter 1 Official Trailer

Ollie was once an orphan living at Playcare, as proven by the fact that a sign saying "Ollie's room" can be found out of bounds in the Chapter 3 map.[17] At an unknown time, most likely after Poppy Ludwig died, he was adopted by Elliot Ludwig.

It is implied that Ollie was assaulted by an unnamed individual or group, possibly involving an abusive real father, and beaten with a hammer. Elliot offered to then bring Ollie to a Better Place. This put Ollie through the procedure that turned him into The Prototype. After the procedure he was recognized as the "prime example for the type of vessel which [Playtime Co.] were trying to create".[18] This experiment was created using organic and mechanical parts, sometime before or during 1989[1] prior to the Bigger Bodies Initiative, presumably being the first and only successful subject of an unnamed scientific field referenced in the Chapter 4 Icepick ARG[19]. 1006 was also stated to be an outlier with their other experiments, as he did not require any sustenance or food for survival.[18]

However, Ollie quickly figured out that his resurrection wasn't out of pure altruism, and was instead to pave the way for the resurrection of Poppy. Ollie was furious at this, but Elliot calmed him by saying that he and Poppy would get along, and that Ollie could still be family. Later, Ollie would begin to refer to himself as "The Prototype."[20]

Under mysterious circumstances following Poppy's resurrection, Elliot would die, possibly at the hands of 1006 or Harley Sawyer, having not informed anyone else at the company of the existence of his experiments. Elliot's home was then raided by police, who found Ollie's remains inside, but were unable to identify him.

These findings, among others, led to many employees, primarily Harley Sawyer, who was later hired by Playtime Co., to take a noticeable interest in the creature. Sawyer and his science team took to calling him "The Prototype".[21] And while some science staff feared The Prototype and wanted him to be destroyed, Sawyer never allowed it. It was stated that The Prototype showed a new trait of himself during every session, being an interesting figure to examine. Scientists said he was very clever and possessed high levels of intelligence.[22]

Theodore Grambell “ I've been told before that Theodore has an imaginary friend. This is normal for a child, I know, but this feels different. ” — Joel Sinclair, Internal Memo

In 1989,[1] The Prototype escaped confinement and hid inside Playcare, recruiting a troubled orphan named Theodore Grambell to his cause. He frequently encouraged the young boy to sabotage Playtime Co., but to no avail. Their friendship became notorious among the staff, who at first believed that the boy's "friend" was imaginary.

One day, Theodore received instructions from 1006 to open a maintenance door in Playcare using two stolen GrabPack 2.0s and Green Hands so they could both open a gate in the schoolhouse of Playcare and escape. But due to his young age and lack of expertise, Theodore overcharged the Green Hand, electrocuting himself and requiring immediate medical attention. Though successful in opening the door, The Prototype chose to sacrifice his freedom to save Theodore. He brought the wounded boy to Thomas Clarke's office, the latter spotting him, before he was recaptured by Security.

Clarke spotted The Prototype as he fled the scene, so informed Leith Pierre of the strange creature. Following the incident, The Prototype, Poppy, and Elliot's body were discovered hiding under Playcare by employees.

Around a year later, 1006 reunited with Theodore Grambell, who had now become CatNap. During their time together, CatNap followed The Prototype around "like a lost puppy", as stated by Leith Pierre, with 1006 seemingly ignoring him.[16]

Scientific Logs “ We should destroy him, but The Doctor is reluctant! I think the intelligence of The Prototype makes him valuable. ” — Preston Willard, Orientation Notebook

After his discovery many employees, primarily Harley Sawyer, who was later hired by Playtime Co., took a noticeable interest in the creature. While some science staff feared The Prototype and wanted him to be destroyed, Sawyer never allowed it. It was stated that The Prototype showed a new trait of himself during every session, being an interesting figure to examine. Scientists said he was very clever and possessed high levels of intelligence.[23]

In one session around 1990, specifically during the recording of Log 08502, Scientist #4 recounted an incident relating to The Prototype. It is stated that 1006 was primarily kept in his chamber, being monitored at all times. However, during the current week, he created a laser pointer from the digital alarm clock in his room, fired it at the camera and disabled it for 28.3 seconds, upon which he hid in a blind spot, forcing a surveillance specialist to come in. He tried to escape through the door but it was re-locked before he could. He apparently killed the specialist who was trapped inside, as 'one casualty occurred.'

In another session, specifically during the recording of Log 24459, The Prototype conversed with Harley Sawyer, questioning if Sawyer felt any remorse for the experiments, asking why they "stick... beat... [and] tear at [their] flesh." Harley Sawyer cleverly retorted, challenging The Prototype and pointing out how he continuously uncovered new aspects about him in each session. The Prototype thanked Harley before mocking him once more, remarking how he too learns something from Sawyer every day in Sawyer's own voice.

The Hour of Joy

"Experiment 1-0-0-6. The Prototype. Coordination and cooperation is evidently within his skillset, as well as the skillset of all other experiments of his type. Though still missing, today's events are no doubt in relation to him. His absence was a flaw in the scientific process, which should have under no circumstances been left unaccounted for. ” — Scientist #4, Final Log

In an unspecified time during either late 1994 or 1995 (probably the former), The Prototype was declared missing from The Labs,[24] where he was contained. Interestingly, he continued to reside in The Labs even following construction of the Prison, possibly so the scientists could study him whenever they pleased.[25] But during this time of freedom, he was never located. Sometime later on August 8, 1995, with the help of some of the Playtime Co. staff, including Preston Willard, 1006 took over the Playtime Co. factory. This event, known as "the Hour of Joy," involved a large-scale massacre and jailbreak against all humans present in the factory. While a group of employees were focused on transporting Kissy Missy to Playcare, the Bigger Bodies began a rebellion as they mindlessly slaughtered all adults and scientists while under the influence of The Prototype. Afterwards, he took all the Playcare orphans down below into the Labs where they would remain alive and sleeping. He had promised all the experiments that they could finally be free. However...

After the event concluded, The Prototype revealed to all the toys that they couldn't leave as it was too risky. There was a high chance of the experimentation happening all over again from outside scientists if their existence was discovered. So, the bodies were dragged into the depths of the factory and the toys ultimately fed on them to survive. This, and all of the actions and mindless slaughter, shocked Poppy, and she hated him for this, but still willingly agreed with The Prototype regarding the riskiness of leaving the factory.[26] Regardless, The Prototype would later lock Poppy in her case.

Past-Hour of Joy.

“Your suggestions have failed to produce the results I'm after. Have I made an error in allowing your survival? ”— The Prototype to The Doctor, Time

Ten days after the Hour of Joy, The Prototype would come across Preston Willard and Jessica Newman, whom he turned into an experiment and killed, respectively.[27] Sometime after, The Prototype met with Harley Sawyer, who he deliberately spared during the event. He told the Doctor that his suggestions had so far failed, and questioned whether or not it was a good idea to spare him. Sawyer replied that more time was needed, but The Prototype stated that they did not have any time. Sawyer suggested he found some more or gave him lab access, yet The Prototype denied his request, telling him to “stay put”. Sawyer said that what he was trying to accomplish could not be done quickly, leading The Prototype to ask him what his use was in that case. Sawyer replied that he was The Prototype’s “best shot”, which satisfied 1006. He told The Doctor that he would try again, but warned him that if he was ”stalling... or worse”, he should remember that his usefulness was the only reason he wasn’t “stripped for meat and spare parts”.[28]

During 2005, following Doey the Doughman and his allies' relocation to the Safe Haven, The Prototype continuously tried to enter their hideout and kept finding ways past their defenses - much to the toys' horror.[29] This would come to a climax later that year.

-Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze The Prototype doesn't physically appear in this chapter, but he is the topic of a VHS tape and one of his claw markings can be seen in the Power Room. Additionally, he is also mentioned by his experiment number in some of the death screens.

-Chapter 2: Fly in a Web After Mommy Long Legs is killed by the grinder and her severed torso falls to the ground, The Prototype's claw appears from under the half-closed door to the left. He reaches out and takes Mommy's torso away, dragging it away back under the door.

-Chapter 3: Deep Sleep Using a his former identity, The Prototype makes contact with The Player through a telephone, presenting himself as someone named 'Ollie'. He guides them to Playcare and gives them instructions throughout the chapter. Later, Poppy explains that she intentionally stopped The Player from leaving since she needs them to help destroy The Prototype, and that if they tried to escape, The Prototype would kill them before they could. Poppy also explains that he was the one who locked her in her case. Later, when sneaking through the Caverns, The Player spots CatNap worshiping a shrine built for The Prototype. In the Playhouse, DogDay further elaborates on CatNap's reverence of The Prototype.

CatNap sees The Prototype as his god and believes any who opposes him are heretics, with DogDay being imprisoned due to him trying to fight against The Prototype and his control. Exiting the Playhouse, Ollie corresponds DogDay's story, saying that before the experiment form of CatNap was created, The Prototype saved his life. This led to CatNap seeing The Prototype as the savior for all the toys in Playtime Co..

As The Player sneaks through the Counselor's Office, CatNap attacks them and sends them into another dream. Just before the dream ends, The Prototype's hand reaches through the open roof of the Lobby. At the end of the boss-fight against CatNap and his electrocution, The Prototype's arm appears, seemingly to offer aid to the still-burning CatNap. CatNap submits to The Prototype again, and watches without flinching as The Prototype slowly lines up his claws before impaling the dying CatNap through the mouth and dragging him away. When The Player returns to the Gas Production Zone, Poppy explains that it was The Prototype that orchestrated The Hour of Joy, ultimately making him responsible for the slaughter of hundreds. In that time, she could hear the screams of the slaughtered around her and so chose to formulate a plan to destroy The Prototype with The Player's help. As they descend on the elevator, Kissy Missy is attacked, and the seal above the lift closes down on them.

-Chapter 4: Safe Haven The Prototype does physically appear in this chapter. However, only the silhouette of his legs are briefly shown, and his presence is felt heavily through Harley Sawyer. Using Ollie's voice, The Prototype continues to talk to The Player, who eventually reaches a point near Safe Haven. Upon arriving, Poppy and Kissy grab them to hide them from The Prototype roaming the halls, looking for The Player. Soon after, when the trio reach Safe Haven, Poppy reveals to Doey that The Prototype has followed them into the lower level, much to Doey's annoyance. Soon after, Poppy divulges her plan to destroy The Prototype and all of Playtime Co., through exploding the whole factory with explosives. The Prototype, however, figures out this plan and manages to suppress it by using Ollie's voice to manipulate The Player into rigging Safe Haven's generator[30] and to lure Doey away from the area. The generator sabotage later causes Safe Haven to blow up, killing all of Doey's friends and causing him to lose his mind, which would also contribute to his demise at the hands of The Player.

Poppy, Kissy and The Player regroup later. As Poppy attempts to contact Ollie after scolding The Player for killing Doey, The Prototype discards the "Ollie" facade and mocks Poppy's attempts to stop him. The Prototype explains his plan in cryptic words, asking her to "come home". He sends Poppy into a panic by threatening to lock her away again. He uses the explosives from the Foundation to blow up the ground underneath The Player and Kissy, which leads to their separation. Kissy loses her arm in the process. The Player falls down to The Labs where an injured and furious Huggy Wuggy awaits to get revenge.

-Chapter 5: Broken Things The Prototype began searching for the Player at this point. While traveling through the underground, he killed one of the inhabitants as Giblet and the Player hid from him. He later comes across Chum, who has hidden the Player inside his stomach, and orders him to fix the security system and find Poppy, warning him of the consequences if he fails.

He later arrives at Lily's dollhouse to attend her tea party along with the captive Player, Poppy, and Kissy Missy. The Prototype tells Poppy what happened to the orphans and admits to being responsible for her desire to destroy the factory. After promising to "fix" her, he disfigures Poppy and knocks Lily away when she attempts to further harm her, allowing Kissy to break free and attack him. The Prototype quickly retreats.

He later reappears, stabbing both Huggy and Kissy, and pursues the Player, Poppy, and Giblet aboard a moving train. During the chase, he runs along the walls of the tunnel, surpassing the train's speed, and attempts to attack the Player by thrusting his legs into the train cars. Despite being electrocuted, burned, frozen, and ultimately crashing along with the train, he survives the ordeal, demonstrating extraordinary speed, agility, durability, and regenerative abilities. He later wounds the Player, places him into a vat of Poppy gel, takes Poppy, and leaves.

Abilities and Anatomy

Although The Prototype is organic in nature, possessing a digestive tract as well as human bones and a human torso, he has more biomechanical aspects than organic ones.[31] His digestive tract, though fully functional, has no impact on his body's ability to maintain his survival, as he does not require sustenance.[32] This ability essentially makes him immune to starvation, something the other experiments lack and are susceptible against. His arms and hands, seemingly constructed from a slender but durable metal, are strong and sharp enough to puncture through flesh and bone, as seen in CatNap's brutal sacrifice and Jessica Newman’s death in RESTRICTED_salvation, and break glass, as seen in the Chapter 5 Official Game Trailer.

The Prototype is the most intelligent experiment currently known, having devised three separate escape attempts to get out of confinement and/or the factory. (Two of which were nearly successful). Two of his skills, as noted by Scientist #4, were enhanced by his intelligence; coordination and cooperation, both of which are seen in The Hour of Joy. During the planning stage of this rebellion, he enlisted nearly every experiment to his side by promising to grant them what they wanted most: freedom.[33] When August 8, 1995 came around, he ensured that the experiments were all in a position to attack simultaneously at 11:00 AM, a time when security was (presumably) at its weakest and would be slow to mobilize their security teams (He likely deduced this through observation and collected knowledge of the factory).

Additionally, The Prototype is the first experiment who actively interacted with and utilized Playtime Co.'s technology. In Log 08502, a recording of one of his escape attempts, he constructed a laser pointer from a disassembled digital alarm clock, displaying a profound understanding of mechanical engineering. Additionally, he was presumed to have remotely altered at least two VHS tapes at the time of their recording, conveying his messages/instructions to anyone who saw them (This method may explain how he informed his followers about his planned rebellion without Playtime Co. catching wind).

Both his actions and the dialogue of experiments reveal that 1006 collects dead toys and/or the pieces of them and grafts them onto himself; the most obvious are the severed arms from Kissy Missy, Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs' arm that was connected to her severed torso and the skinned fur and Red Smoke emitters from CatNap. Something else noteworthy is that he would often leave trails of tar as he walked around. Additionally, he also possesses the ability to mimic others, often hiding his real voice behind multiple others. During his conversation with Harley Sawyer, multiple voices are heard when he speaks; however, it's unclear if his presumed grafting habits are the cause or if it's a separate ability of its own (although it might be the latter).

It was revealed in the RESTRICTED_salvation tape that The Prototype had also begun taking bits and pieces of different toys to create hybrid forms similar to himself to experiment on; one such form, combined of pieces from a Boogie Bot, Bron, Bunzo Bunny & Cat-Bee was used to transfer the brain and eyes of scientist Preston Willard into. In addition, The Prototype views being selected for one of his hybrid experiments to be an honor reserved for only those who were nice to him or the other experiments.
