What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I have solved who Poppy Playtime's prototype really is. No, no, no, no, no, for real this time. Hello, Internet! Welcome to Game Theory, the show that keeps asking, what's the deal? You see, theorists, this video was supposed to be my updated Poppy Play timeline. Every single year, I do one of these videos, and when I do, I go back and recheck all of the official canon media to see if there's anything I've missed. And I do mean all the canon media. The game, the two ARGs, the book, the Roblox spinoff, the Fortnite collaborations, the Minecraft collaborations, and yes, even those dodgy NFTs we don't like talking about. All with the plan of having it ready for Chapter 5's release. I thought it was actually going to be pretty simple.
Chapter 4 didn't really change that much from our previous timeline. All I would have to do is polish up some things, add our Chapter 4 theories, and that's it. Easy peasy. But then, Mob released a few new teasers. And with them, I noticed one small detail that completely changed my understanding of this franchise's arguably most mysterious character. Experiment 1006. The Prototype. He's the big bad of this series, and it's looking like we're finally going to get to meet him face-to-face in this upcoming chapter. But for the fanbase, the main thing we've been wondering is, who is he? First, we thought it was Elliot Ludwig, the founder of Playtime Co. Then we thought it might have been Rich, the disgruntled factory worker that climbed the ranks.
Then we thought it was Elliot. Again, only this time, he was a clone! It's... Complicated, don't ask. The point is, with every new update, we think we've nailed down his identity, only for another update to drop that throws the identity into question once again. But now, loyal theorists, I feel like I finally, truly cracked it. And it answers everything. Why is he obsessed with Poppy? What makes them different from the other experiments? And what it all has to do with Elliot Ludwig's embryology experiments. So, Put on your trusty grab pack, theorists, because it's time to launch ourselves into this theory. Try not to get too shocked by the answers. I promise they're not too much of a stretch. All right, I'm done.
Let's get on with it. So first things first, let's talk about what exactly this guy is going to look like. up until now all we've really seen of them is their spindly fingers and their shadowy spider-like legs well over the holidays mob decided to give all of us a present more details about 1006's appearance the main one is this new year's day post that shows poppy standing opposite the prototype's hand which is holding a poppy flower with four of its legs stretching into the light it's quite an intimidating image, although Poppy is very small, so I'm not sure he'll be this large and intimidating in reality, but looking at the legs, we can see that we have been right about at least part of 1006's creation.
We've suspected it to be a hybrid of human parts and machines, given the bone-like structure in the arm as well as the red and blue veins that run up and down it. And here we can see that the legs aren't just mechanical. They involve muscles and tendons that you would see on joints like this to help the legs move. But that wasn't the only interesting part about this New Year's Day image. I mentioned 1006 is holding a poppy flower. Well, now take a look at this Christmas artwork Mob posted. See? Anything familiar? No? How about now? Still no?
Who leaked new Mob teasers that changed the Prototype theory?
Okay. How about now? Right in the back is a picture of a man holding a poppy. This image specifically is actually based off of a tarot card called The Fool. I mean, just look at them. They're practically identical. Tarot cards have a lot of different meanings and interpretations. But one that I got from our HR manager and resident tarot card reader, Rachel, is that while it can represent good things like new beginnings and childlike confidence, it can also represent naivety, ignorance, and lack of experience, with the outcome being to try and encourage the reader to be cautious and warning them of the importance of being informed and prepared.
