The Prototype


1006: I... possess... a question.
Harley Sawyer: Go ahead...
1006: Do you feel anything?
Harley Sawyer: This question referring to what, exactly?
1006: You stick us. Beat us. Tear at flesh. Do you feel it?

Harley Sawyer conversing with The Prototype during Log 24459


The Prototype, otherwise known as Experiment 1006 or The Claw, is the overarching antagonist of Poppy Playtime, debuting in Chapter 1: "A Tight Squeeze" He was one of the first successful experiment founded by Playtime Co. in an attempt to create the ideal experiment for the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

It is said that The Prototype was responsible for The Hour of Joy, an event which took place in the Playtime Co. Factory which resulted in countless deaths and the company subjected to abandon all their works while their factory was overran by savage toys, all which were influenced by The Prototype's high authority and unintended capabilities.

Throughout each chapter, The Prototype makes many cameo appearances primarily during the ending segments of them. In Chapter 1, we were told that The Hour of Joy must be the doing of him. In Chapter 2, The Prototype drags Mommy Long Legs' lifeless body. Finally, The Prototype both makes an appearance during CatNap's hallucination sequence and after the CatNap boss fight.

Appearance

The Prototype shrouds his body through shadows and dark shafts, however throughout all his appearances, only his arm is found. His hands, resembling slender silver pins that which can depict a concerning array of movements. Although his fingers seem fragile due to its appearance, they can effortlessly slice through flesh with unnerving smoothness. His lower arm is adorned with red wires and metallic components, his arm also houses a human bone.

Personality

The Prototype exhibits a personality which is solely built upon his hatred and wishes for downfall for the Playtime Co. company. He is cunning, stubborn, and rarely displays sarcasm. In a conversation with Harley Sawyer during Log 24459, The Prototype's voice is heard for the first time, as he mockingly mimics the voices of various employees like Stella Greyber. He engages in a monologue about his motivations, questioning Harley Sawyer's thoughts on the effects of the Bigger Bodies Initiative and the treatment of experiments. After Sawyer comments on learning something new about The Prototype at each meeting, The Prototype sarcastically thanks Harley and repeats the same thing back while imitating his voice.

The Prototype also seems carefree, using the experiments as pawns for his reign of terror, particularly evident in the RESTRICTED tapes. These tapes depict toys being taken over by The Prototype, aiming to sabotage their attempts at progress and transportation of their experiments. The most notable example is Huggy Wuggy, whom The Prototype ordered to flee the Playtime Co. Factory. As soon as Huggy Wuggy ran too far out, he began simply roaming the woods and only attacking employees after being aggravated.

Story

Backstory

Little is known about The Prototype other then it was the ideal vessel Playtime Co. expected for its Bigger Bodies Initiative going forward. Presumably, Experiment 1006 was the first sentient experiment to come after the companies attempts at replicating Elliot Ludwig's attempts at post-mortem vessels to possess. The Prototype was also stated to be an outlier with their other experiments, as The Prototype was stated to not require a substance of food for survival. These findings were one of many that employees, primarily Harley Sawyer, enjoyed perceiving. It was stated that The Prototype shows a new trait of himself during every session, being an interesting figure to examine.

Scientific Logs

LogVideo

The Prototype as seen during the Final Log.

During one session, specifically during Log 24459, The Prototype had a conversation with Harley Sawyer, questioning if any employees felt remorse for the experiments being "sticked, burned, torn at flesh." Harley Sawyer cleverly retorted, challenging The Prototype and pointing out how he continuously uncovers new aspects about him in each session. The Prototype thanked Harley before mocking him once more, remarking how he, too, learns something from Harley every day.

In another session, during Log 08502, the familiar Scientist recounts an incident relating to The Prototype. It is stated that 1006 was primarily kept in his chamber, monitored at all times. However, one day, 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 was re-locked before he could. He apparently killed the specialist who was trapped inside, as 'one casualty occurred.'

RESTRICTED-disappearance

On June 18th, 1992, Huggy Wuggy was influenced by The Prototype and instructed to leave the Playtime Co. Factory. Without any warning, Huggy Wuggy hastily exited the facility through an open bay delivery door. Interestingly, Huggy Wuggy did not display any hostile behavior during his escape, merely running out of the building before being captured on surveillance footage wandering in the forest. Upon encountering employees who started firing darts at him, Huggy Wuggy, although not under The Prototype's direct control, perceived their presence as a threat and attacked them. This led to the death of nearly 11 employees, with 6 others reported missing.

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.
The Scientist's description of the Prototype.


HourofJoyHuggyScene

The beginning of The Hour of Joy, starting with Huggy Wuggy in the Main Lobby,

In an unspecified time during the 1990s, The Prototype was declared missing. In one VHS Tape, Marcas Brickley Reprimanding, it was stated that a figure with "fifty feet and a thousand legs" stole a mop handle, which while implies that this figure was PJ Pug-a-Pillar, the motivations to steal such item is unfitting for a character like him.

During this time of freedom, it allowed 1006 to take seize the Playtime Co. Factory on August 8th, 1995. This event, known as "The Hour of Joy," involved a large-scale massacre and jailbreak against all life forms present in the factory. While the employees were focused on transporting Kissy Missy to Playcare, the Bigger Bodies experiments began a rebellion as they mindlessly slaughtered children, adults, and scientists all while under the influence of The Prototype. According to Poppy, the bodies were concealed, and the toys ultimately fed on them. However, as the human supply diminished, the toys started betraying one another in an effort to secure the remaining food resource.

Chapter 2: Fly in a Web

After Mommy Long Legs was killed by the grinder and her severed torso fell to the ground, The Prototype's claw appeared from under the half-closed door to the left. He reached out and took Mommy's torso away, dragging it away back under the door. After this, he isn’t seen again. Near the end of the chapter, before Poppy's monologue gets cut off, we hear the sound of an alarm clock going off, implying that the Prototype has captured Poppy.

Project: Playtime

ElliotLudwigMerchWebsite Each answer was different... and I could perhaps see some little truth in each.

This article includes information that has been theorized by fans. It is not canon nor confirmed if the information on this page will be/is official!

Reason: It's unknown if The Prototype did indeed make an appearance in Project: Playtime, although it is implied.

The others are hungry. The others are starving. GET UP.
Presumed Prototype to Huggy Wuggy in Project: Playtime.


While he doesn’t make a physical appearance, his hands are one of the GrabPack Skins in Project: Playtime. Although, it has been theorized that he is the one that instructs the monsters during their tutorial.

Abilities and Anatomy

The Prototype possesses the ability to replicate any voice that he hears. During his conversation with Harley Sawyer, multiple voices are heard when he speaks; however, it's unclear if his grafting habits are the cause.

Trivia

  • With the initial release of Chapter 1, players theorized that The Prototype was Huggy Wuggy.
  • Human bones can be seen tangled in the wires of the hand, showing that The Prototype was once human or that it took bones from one of the employees.
    • It could likely have been taken from those he killed, as when Mommy Long Legs was being crushed to death in the grinder, she screamed that "He'll make me part of him." This suggests that he's taking parts of toys and humans and making them part of his body.
    • Given how Mommy states it, it is implied that toys are fully aware of what is going on in the factory.
  • A number of death screen messages mention The Prototype.
    • From Chapter 1, 'Exp. 1006. Isn't he wonderful?'.
    • From Chapter 2, 'The Prototype has saved us! Isn't he wonderful?'.
    • Another from Chapter 2, 'HE IS LOOSE. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY LOCKDOWN'.
  • The numbering of the experiments suggests that The Prototype was created before Huggy Wuggy (Experiment 1170) and Mommy Long Legs (Experiment 1222), but after the failed experiment on a rat (Experiment 814).
    • This, along with his name, suggests that The Prototype may have been the second successful living organic experiment (the first being Poppy Playtime).
  • In Project: Playtime, a mysterious voice instructs Huggy Wuggy on what he needs to do to stop the survivors. Judging by it's tone and mannerisms as well as the use of the arch words "Get Up", it is heavily implied that this voice belongs to The Prototype.
  • The appearance of this claw may be a reference to the hand of the Other Mother from the movie Coraline.[1]
  • It is speculated that The Prototype was trying to save the kids and experiments from Playtime Co.
    • This was backed up by one of the VHS tapes in Chapter 1 saying: "Coordination and cooperation is in his skillset."
    • It is also speculated that The Prototype is Elliot Ludwig, protecting those he had failed by fighting back against Harley Sawyer.[2]
