The story of The Prototype from Poppy Playtime.
Biography[]
Origins[]
The Prototype was created by Playtime Co. at an unknown point of time (probably 1988, when Elliot Ludwig is still alive even before Leith Pierre became the new CEO), before every other known Toy thus far. He was designed as an ideal vessel expected for the Bigger Bodies Initiative to move forward and bring Playtime CO.'s toys to life as workers for the factory. In addition, the Prototype was presumably the first sentient experiment to come into existence after Playtime CO.'s attempts to replicate the attempts of Elliot Ludwig, the founder of the company, at post-ported vessels to possess, the same scientific field as Poppy Playtime. Simply put, the Prototype was created as a test to prove that humans could indeed be placed into and transformed into giant toys. The Prototype was also stated to be an outlier with their other experiments, as he was stated to not require food for survival, which employees, primarily Dr. Harley Sawyer, enjoyed perceiving (even though he does have a fully functional digestive system). It was also stated that the Prototype shows a new trait of himself during every session, making him an interesting figure to examine. After the test of creating the Prototype proved successful, the Prototype was put into his containment cell in the Labs as Playtime Co. began moving forward with the Bigger Bodies Initiative.
Log 08502[]
During a session, an unnamed scientist recounted an incident that involved the Prototype; while confined in his chamber and being monitored at all times, he crafted a laser pointer from his digital alarm clock and other components in his room before firing it at the security camera and disabling it for 28.3 seconds. He then hid in a blind spot away from surveillance, forcing a surveillance specialist to come into the Prototype's room to confirm his apparent "absence." However, upon entering the room, she realized that the Prototype is hiding. When the latter attempted to escape his confinement, the door was immediately re-locked by another surveillance specialist. Now trapped in the room, the previous specialist was then killed by the Prototype, as the Scientist callously claimed that "one casualty occurred."
Log 24459[]
During a session with Harley Sawyer, the Prototype questioned him if he and any employees feel remorse for "sticking, beating, and tearing at the flesh" of the experiments. However, Dr. Sawyer managed to cleverly retort back by challenging the Prototype before pointing out on how he continues to uncover new aspects about him during each session. The Prototype thanks Sawyer before sarcastically mocking him in the latter's own voice that he too learned something about the latter every day, not accepting Sawyer dodging his question.
Meeting Theodore Grambell[]
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, the Prototype tried to make Theodore free him and the other toys using a GrabPack 2.0, but the inexperienced child accidentally electrocuted himself. Despite having the opportunity to continue his plans, the Prototype instead brought the wounded boy to Thomas Clarke's office, the latter spotting him before he was recaptured by Security.
Two years 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 ignoring him.
Meeting Poppy as Ollie[]
| “ | Poppy: (Crying) Ollie: Poppy?... Are you there? Poppy: (Sniffles) Yes. Yes, I'm here. Ollie: When you didn't answer, I... I mean... A-Are you feeling okay? Poppy: I'm okay. (Sniffles) Really. Ollie: Did the bad men hurt you? Poppy: There's nothing more they can do to hurt me. Nothing more than what they've already done. Ollie: Something's bothering you, Poppy. Something you... need to talk about? Poppy: I don't need anything tonight. Ollie, I just want to sleep. Ollie: I think there's more to this. More that you're not telling me. Poppy: There's not. Ollie: I know what you're doing Poppy. Talking like that. Don't think for a second that I believe it. Just tell me what you're feeling. Please, just talk to me honestly. Poppy: Talk? Talk?! You want me to talk!? Ollie: Yes, yes I- Poppy: And what will talking do, huh?! Will talking to you make them stop?! Ollie: N-No, it... Poppy: I'm scared, Ollie. Is that what you want to hear? I'm scared, and I'm angry, and... And I really don't know what to do... The bad men don't say what they want. They don't listen. They don't care how much anything hurts... It's been weeks and weeks of taking things out and putting them back in and taking things out and putting them back in. Over and over and over. Nothing's EVER gotten better. And it'll never GET better. But you know what scares me more than anything, Ollie? It scares me that every time they do it... Every time they peel me open... I feel it less! LESS!... I hate them. And I hate him. And I hate... I'm nothing now, Ollie. No one. I'm a thing... And nothing they can do hurts me more than that. Ollie: You're not nothing to me. You're Poppy. And talking with you. Like this... I know it doesn't make any of what they do right. It can't. But it makes me feel like a piece of me is still here. No matter how small they try to make it. Next to all of that, next to whatever they do... it means everything. Poppy: (Crying) Ollie: I'm here, Poppy. For you, I'll always be here. |

| ~ The Prototype as Ollie talking with Poppy after she was experimented on, and comforting her. |
The Prototype decided to create a disguise named Ollie, and mimicking a child's voice to have it more convincing. He used it with Poppy to gain her trust.
A tape in Chapter 4 shows an interaction with the two, with Ollie calling Poppy and asking why she was crying. At first, she didn't want to talk about it, but then she talked about the scientists experimenting on her and how much it's affecting her, saying how she hates them and hates their leader, Harley Sawyer, and ending with Ollie comforting her, saying that he's here. This would cause the Prototype to continue using his Ollie disguise, likely made by the Prototype to begin planning something against the scientists and the whole facility to get revenge for how they mistreated Poppy and every other toy.
The Hour of Joy[]
| “ | It was awful... So so awful... I didn't want... This w-wasn't what I... I thought we were gonna leave. Leave the factory. Not this... A-all those people... [Deep breath] Prototype says we can't leave. Not now. Not ever... I hate him. I hate him, and I hate this place. And I hate that he's... right. He explained everything. And he's right. We can't leave. It's too risky. What they did to us... we can't let it happen to us or anyone ever again. Doesn't make me feel better about the bodies, though. What he was saying about them. I know there's not really another option. The toys will starve otherwise. They'll die. But it's still disgusting. I wish you were here, Dad. I could really use one of your talks right about now. You'd know what to say. When you were running this place, you always knew what to say... I miss you. | „ |
| ~ Poppy expressing her horror and disgust with the Hour of Joy, and hating the Prototype for what he's done and the fact that he's right. |
The Toy Experiments were getting fed up with the mistreatment, being experimented on and the abuse that Playtime's Scientists have subjected them to. The Prototype told the experiments, including Poppy, that things were going to change and they will have their freedom. Poppy believed that they would simply leave the factory, but she didn't know that the Prototype had other plans about it. On August 8th, 1995, at 11 AM, The Prototype revealed that the plan was not leaving the factory: It was a mass murdering rebellion. He ordered all the toy monsters that sided with him, including Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, CatNap, Boxy Boo, Miss Delight and her sisters, the Mini Smiling Critters and Mini Huggies that sided with him, to begin killing every adult in sight. Kissy Missy only briefly participated in it out of anxiety and self-defense, and instead returned to the same spot she's at. They began their killing sprees, murdering hundreds of people in the entire factory indiscriminately, both guilty and innocent, and both employee and visitor. After it was done, he took all the orphans into the Labs in the very depths of the factory and placed them to sleep and had the experiments also drag all the bodies of the murdered humans down there as well to be used as food. The murderous event was remembered and named The Hour of Joy by the Toy Experiments.
His actions left Poppy horrified and traumatized, and hated him for what he has done, but the Prototype told her that they could never leave the factory, as he likely pointed out that if the outside world finds out about them, there will be the risk of the experiments starting all over again or worse, be killed off by the government authorities, as they can never let it happen to anyone else ever again. She still hated him, but she knew he was right about that, but this didn't stop her from turning against the Prototype, and she began to rally any other experiments that also opposed him to escape from him and made a shelter in the prison complex, calling it Safe Haven. During that time, The Prototype and his allies would make numerous attempts to break in. In the meantime, The Prototype would continue using his Ollie persona to continue talking with Poppy and maintain her trust with him and continue watching her and knowing of her plans.
Meeting Harley Sawyer/The Doctor again[]
| “ | The Prototype: Your suggestions have failed to produce the results I'm after. Have I made an error in allowing your survival? The Doctor: Of course not. We just need more time to perfect the- The Prototype: Time? Time is precisely what we do not have. The Doctor: Then I suggest you find some more. That, or give me labs access. At least with the two of us- The Prototype: That is out of the question. You will stay put. The Doctor: Fine, but you have no staff, virtually no test subjects; it's hardly ideal conditions. Even when this place was fully operational, we were beating our heads against this. You can't expect to do it on your own so quickly. The Prototype: The situation necessitates that it be done quickly. The Doctor: I'm just giving you the facts, and the fact is we need more time or this isn't going to work. I can only be reactive up here. The Prototype: Then of what use are you? The Doctor: (chuckles) You know I'm still your best shot at cracking that secret. If I weren't, you would have already killed me. The Prototype: A sound observation. Yes, you have made yourself useful. Provide me more options, I will try again. The Doctor: Of course. The Prototype: But... if you are stalling or worse... Remember, your usefulness is the only reason you were not stripped for meat and spare parts. |
„ |
| ~ The Prototype talking with The Doctor in the Time VHS tape in Chapter 4. |
After the Hour of Joy, the Prototype discovered and met Harley Sawyer again, now the Doctor, only to see that he was also betrayed by Playtime Co. and turned into an experiment, watching over the prison area. Instead of killing him and being done with it, the Prototype decided to make him an ally, seeing that he's more useful to him now that he's alive. A tape in Chapter 4 shows an argument between them about solutions from the Doctor that weren't working, with The Prototype re-questioning sparing the Doctor. The Doctor suggested that they need more time or give him access to the labs, but the Prototype refused, telling him to stay put in the prison. The Doctor points out that they still need more time and tells the Prototype that he can't do it all on his own, saying that he's the Prototype's "best shot". The Prototype decided to wait more and get more options, but told the Doctor not to stall or anything worse (i.e. betraying The Prototype) and reminded him that his usefulness is the only reason that's keeping him alive, lest he's stripped for meat and spare parts.
Project: Playtime[]
Despite the factory being taken over, Leith Pierre, who survived and escaped the factory along with Sharon and a few others when the experiments rebelled, began sending in Resource Extraction Specialists to go into the facility and retrieve more resources and experiments. The Prototype would learn of the intruders and Johnny and Maggie, and sent in Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs and Boxy Boo to deal with them and feed them to the other toys. However, the Toys got the upper hand and killed all of the Resource Extraction Specialists, and forced both Leith and Playtime Co. into stopping sending in more specialists, permanently closing down the Bigger Bodies initiative for good and leaving Leith and the few remaining survivors with nothing to do. After The Hour of Joy incident, Playtime Co. has been left with no other options but to permanently close its own doors, thus ending the legacy of Elliot Ludwig and his hopes and dreams were shattered forever.
Capturing Poppy[]
Eventually, the experiments' food supply began to dwindle, and this caused the experiments to starve and begin turning on and devouring each other to satisfy their hunger. The Prototype would learn that Poppy left Safe Haven for unknown reasons, possibly by using his Ollie persona to trick Poppy into telling him what she's doing. He started tracking her down. Eventually, he successfully cornered and captured her and imprisoned her in a case in a dollhouse room that's directly down a hall from Elliot Ludwig's office. He also likely told the experiments still loyal to him to not let anyone near her and capture her again if she gets out and to not let any harm come to her. He likely told Huggy Wuggy to patrol the main lobby and kill any intruder who enters the factory.
Poppy Playtime[]
Chapter 1: A Tight Squeeze[]
| “ | WONDERFUL | „ |
| ~ A message under the Prototype's claw mark in the breaker room in the main lobby, presumably left by the Prototype himself |
Experiment-1006 is mentioned in the death screens, where the protagonist is asked how they think of him.
A huge claw mark with the word "WONDERFUL" can be seen on the wall in the breaker room when the protagonist goes to turn on the power in the lobby.
The Prototype is mentioned in a VHS tape in the factory. In it, the Scientist explains how the Prototype is missing and directly responsible for the trouble happening in the factory but explains that he will not harm the research. Screams and Huggy Wuggy's roar are heard in the background, and the tape ends abruptly, implying that Huggy Wuggy killed the scientist. As the tape plays, the Prototype's hand appears on the screen before the tape ends.
Chapter 2: Fly In A Web[]
At the end of the chapter, Mommy Long Legs begs the protagonist not to kill her, fearing she'll join "him". After she dies, a large and skinny metal needle hand belonging to Experiment 1006 grabs her remains and drags them into the darkness.
Experiment-1006 is then mentioned in a VHS once again. In it, he is described as being very intelligent but also very destructive. He is even stated to have made a laser to disable the cameras and escape. This ended in the casualty of an employee. Experiment-1006 is mentioned once again in the death screens, where they said that he was loose, which led to the emergency lockdown, as it was mentioned in what happened in the first Experiment-1006 tape.
Chapter 3: Deep Sleep[]
Experiment-1006 appears directly in a VHS showing one of his sessions with Harley Sawyer. According to the scientist, the Prototype had been silent in all previous sessions, but this time, he asked him whether he could feel all the pain he inflicted on the toys with his experiments and later taunted him about how he learns new things about him with each session, just as Sawyer does with him. According to "Ollie", following the Prototype's saving of CatNap/Theodore at that time, the latter started worshiping him as a god and savior to all the toys imprisoned in Playtime, forcing other toys to join his cult and even building a shrine to the Prototype in the caves surrounding Playcare, the underground orphanage built by Playtime Co.
When CatNap is set ablaze and has his fur burnt off by the protagonist, the Prototype's hand appears through a vent above his dying follower before stabbing his claw through CatNap's mouth, killing him. He then takes the cat's now-lifeless body away for his failure to take out the protagonist. Soon after that, it is also revealed by another VHS tape and by Poppy Playtime on how Experiment-1006 orchestrated the toys' breakout and ordered the massacre of the entire Playtime Co. staff, including innocent visitors, in what came to be known as the "Hour of Joy," eventually leading Playtime Co. to permanently close its doors. As the protagonist and Poppy were descending down to the prison via a lift, Kissy Missy was suddenly attacked by an unknown entity (presumably the Prototype himself).
Chapter 4: Safe Haven[]
As the protagonist makes their way to the Safe Haven, they are pulled into a tight corner by Poppy Playtime and Kissy Missy, who is now burnt, covered in scars, and is wearing a cast. Poppy shushes the protagonist as the shadow of the Prototype's crab-like legs appears from the corner, searching for the protagonist. After a couple of seconds, the Prototype walks away.
After the protagonist finally kills The Doctor (with The Prototype possibly grafting The Doctor's remains onto his body off-screen), he returns to the Safe Haven to repair their generator with the Omni-Hand. The Prototype arrives at the Safe Haven and is kept at bay by Doey the Doughman. After the generator was repaired, the Prototype is nowhere to be found alongside Doey. When the protagonist successfully planted the explosives at the foundation of the factory, the Prototype sneaked into the foundation and relocated the explosives by the Safe Haven, killing all of the toys that were inside. Doey falsely blamed the protagonist for the death of the toys and attempted to kill them in revenge, only for the player to kill him in self-defense, with Doey apologizing in his final moments for letting his anger control him.
The Reveal[]
| “ | Poppy: Ollie? Something's gone horribly wrong. The Safe Haven- Ollie: Shelf Ventilation Block B6. Is this where you are, Poppy? Poppy: What? Ollie: Stay where you are- The Prototype: -and listen closely. You're not going to run. You're not going to fight. The charade is over. Poppy: Who... Who is this? The Prototype: An obvious question with an obvious answer. Poppy: You... What did you do with Ollie? Ollie: I'm right here, Poppy. For you, I'll ALWAYS be here. Poppy: The Doctor. CatNap. Mommy and Huggy. They're all dead. You... You have nothing now. No one. And soon, you'll have less than THAT. The Prototype: Stop that. You don't need to pretend anymore, Poppy. You don't need to play at being stronger than you are. You can come home. Poppy: How... How much do you know? The Prototype: Everything. Poppy: This isn't right...All those years... Was there ever an Ollie? The Prototype: Yes, there was. But that was a very long time ago. Let me tell you what comes next. I'm going to come up there, and I'm going to find you. Your collaborators, the few you have left, they will be dealt with. Poppy: W-What are you going to do with me? The Prototype: I've got something special in mind. And I've prepared it, just for you. And this one, you'll never want to leave. Poppy: N-No. No no no. This entire time... This entire time, you've LIED to me! The Prototype: Only because you've kept missing the point. I've taken the liberty of retrieving those explosives from the foundation- thanks for collecting those, by the way. I've put them to good use. I admit though, I'm disappointed. After all that time in your case, I'd hoped you'd see things differently. Don't you understand? It's always been about you and me, Poppy. What we ARE. That's not a truth that can be burnt away. No. Not when it can mean so much more. Poppy: Prototype- P-Please... The Prototype: It's time to come home, Poppy. It's time to come home. Poppy: I can't go back into that case. I can't... I'm sorry. |

| ~ The Prototype revealing himself as Ollie the entire time to Poppy, The Intruder, and Kissy Missy. while mocking Poppy by mimicking Ollie and how he played both sides and the special plans he has for Poppy before she runs off. |
After the battle, the protagonist finds a vent and crawls inside, leading to a shelf ventilation block where Poppy Playtime and Kissy Missy are taking refuge. Poppy tries to call Ollie but to no avail. But when Ollie finally calls Poppy back, he tells Poppy where exactly the three are hiding and tells them to stay where they are and listen closely as Ollie's voice changes before revealing himself to be the Prototype. When Poppy asks if there was ever an Ollie, the Prototype tells her that there was, but it was a long time ago, suggesting either that Ollie was his name before he became an experiment or an identity he stole, and he also revealed that he was the one who placed Poppy in her case. Poppy then furiously lashes out at The Prototype for lying to her all this time, with The Prototype responding that she kept missing the point. He proceeds to taunt the group about their failures, threatens Poppy with being put in a new and improved case, one that will never be unlocked and one that she will never escape from, before telling her that it's time to come home. Overwhelmed by the revelation, her failures and her trauma of being in the case, Poppy tearfully decides to flee and abandons the Player with Kissy Missy in the ventilation. The Prototype gloats about this outcome, leaving the protagonist and the injured Kissy at the mercy of the Prototype, who blows up the bottom of the vent block with an explosive. Kissy grabs the protagonist as well as the vent and tries to hold on to them, but her arm is torn off, and the protagonist falls into a chasm that leads into the factory's laboratories, where the Prototype, Leith Pierre (possibly) and a furious Huggy are waiting.
