Holy Shart, everything's starting to make sense to me now. I've always had this theory that golden freddy from the first game was the original Fredbear, but I never had much evidence for this theory until FNAF 3, but by then I had forgotten about it until now, and it seems to make so much sense, and would explain a lot of things connecting them with the new trailer.

Golden Freddy from FNAF 1 is a suit, and not an animatronic; the same suit used to lead the children into the back room. How do we know this? Well, in FNAF 3, you can see it just outside the door being hung from a metal post. The post clearly goes through the body, and no wires are visible. Plus, in FNAF 1, the suit sits there lifeless, like it has no body of its own. Now you may be asking "then why is Golden Freddy from FNAF 2 also sitting there lifeless? Well, that's because the second Golden Freddy is ALSO a suit. Not just any suit, but the hybrid suit used alongside springtrap, or golden bonnie. When Golden Freddy appears there lifeless, it has no lights or eyes that you can see in his head making it look empty, but it does have wires and metal parts inside. That aside, here's the more shocking theory. Golden Freddy IS Fredbear. Now could I possibly come to this conclusion? Well, we know that based off of the minimum wage payments that the third location that FNAF 2 was in 1987. Animatronics generally became popular around the 1980's, but Diners weren't trending at that time. This means that Fredbear's Family Diner was before the time of animatronics, and a server wearing a suit would be likely. Now, what is the only complete suit we've seen in the FNAF series? Golden Freddy from FNAF 1. Why else would the Golden Freddy suit be in the 'back room'? And last but far from least, Purple Guy is the original wearer of the Fredbear suit. The facts are on the table. When he lured the children into the back with a 'spare in the back', he had to have been somebody who knew about the spare in the first place, which means he had to have been there at the diner, and known about the spare suit. Plus, the had and bowtie in the latest teaser was purple, with a small message that said "PROPERTY OF FREDBEARS FAMILY DINER". The hat and gloves were property of the wearer of the suit, the purple man... or they should've been through his eyes. When he killed the first child outside of the diner, it was out of frustration from being fired. He had been fired or quit for an unknown reason, and was replaced with somebody else. After, he saw his chance to get revenge when a small child at the door was alone, unnoticed by anybody. His plan had worked, and the diner was shut down, but not for long as we all know. The purple guy out of anger had decided to devote his life to shutting down Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. That's why he lured the children into the back room. That's why it doesn't show the death screen when Golden Freddy kills you in FNAF 1. That's why the building is burnt down in FNAF 3. DROPS MIC
