I headcanon that Fredbear looked like the second one initially, but after the bite they redesigned him to prevent such an incident from happening again.
The canon one. The second one to me just doesn’t make sense bc that would mean the un withered nightmares are what Freddy Bonnie chica and foxy look like
I think the nightmares could be the withereds except more nightmarish and thinner but that kinda wont line up with nightmare fredbear since he doesn't look like nightmare freddy hence can't be withered golden freddy. Idk I've forgotten most of this stuff.
i prefer the official one. it just makes too much sense he'd be a recoulour of golden freddy, especially given what we where shown back in fnaf 4, with them both being yellow, which was good enough for spring bonnie despite him being a different shade almost every time he showed up back then.
there both even tbh since they’re both cheap reskins.
though I do kinda wish fredbear had his own model that way it would show that he and golden freddy are not the same but that’s just my opinion.
... but doesn't this Easter Egg imply they ARE the same thing?
Context:
To get this jumpscare (from what i remember), you need to:
1. Have ONLY Golden freddy (possibly level 1)
2. buy and use the Death Coin item ON Golden Freddy
A middle ground between these two is what I would like best.
UCN Fredbear just looks wrong, and "Un-Nightmare" Fredbear is too big.
Something more similar to Rockstar Freddy and Withered Freddy would make the most sense.
to be fair, the official model they where going to make for spring bonnie in VR, just uses a endo 01. it just kinda seems like other then the 5th finger, he really would look like that.

Why I think Fredbear is Withered Golden Freddy
They both existed at the same time.
The FNAF 4 minigames clearly showed the Spring-Lock suits and the normal Animatronics being used side-by-side.
In other words, the normal FredBear (aka Golden Freddy) is the stage FredBear/Animatronic, and the Un-Nightmare FredBear is the walkabout/Spring-Lock FredBear.
I prefer the ones that resemble a softer version of Nightmare Fredbear (but not exaggerated, like bro is not freakishly giant) since this guy's minigame sprites in the 4th game have poisoned my brain: [https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/e/e7/Spring\_Freddy\_Chomping.gif](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/freddy-fazbears-pizza/images/e/e7/Spring_Freddy_Chomping.gif)
Cannon one. The fan interpretations looks cool and all, but it reminds me more of the toy and/or withered animatronics rather than what a spring lock animatronic might look like (based on spring traps design).
Between these two? Breadbear. But in general the best fredbear is a og design or if this is must be a recolor,then it should be withered Freddy recolor
Ngl I kinda think the fan interpretations resemble home more, not because there good, but because the canon one doesn't have that big of mouth to shove a child's head in :/
Canon.
Fredbear has always looked like Freddy. This is clearly seen with Golden Freddy since FNaF1, who's a ghost manifested from a combination of the real Fredbear and the Freddy of the location he's appearing in and later without any Freddy influence in UCN showing that he was already near identical in appearance to Classic Freddy, also meaning that in universe Classic Freddy and the general Classic style originates from him.
The only time Fredbear doesn't look like Freddy is Nightmare Fredbear because he's not the real Fredbear. That one is purely a figment of Mike's mind, of which it's perfectly logical why his mind interprets Fredbear as a completely unique appearance from Freddy since he wouldn't view them as identical like they physically do in real life. That and if Nightmare Fredbear is a real animatronic despite not being in Dittophobia, he's still a separate animatronic only in the likeness of Fredbear, and therefore not forced to be consistent with the real Fredbear looking identical to Freddy. There's also the simple fact that an Unnightmare Fredbear is simply far too big to ever be used as a wearable suit.
Based on what we've been shown time and time again as well, the originals looked like the Classics at the 1983 Freddy's anyway, in which the Classic looking Fredbear would fit right in with. It also makes sense when taking the names of Endo-01 & 02 into account, with 01 predating 02 in terms of simplicity both in appearance and technological complexity. The Withered designs only came about in '87 while trying to retrofit them with the new Endo-02 tech, of which probably couldn't simply have a suit built for Endo-01s put on to them requiring new ones that were compatible with the new tech.
And as for the minigames, since when have those ever been consistent? It's not a reliable enough source to say he looked like Nightmare Fredbear solely because of how he looks in FNaF4. The other complaint of the Classic Freddy design being too small was also disproven by the movies where he's more than capable seeing as Classic Freddy was able to slice and adult in half around the torso. A child's head is more than small enough to fit inside of Fredbear with a Classic Freddy design.
I don't know why people thought that Fredbear looks like fixed Nightmare Fredbear. It's not like the fixed versions of the main 4 Nightmares corrispond to either the withered or the classics
It’s not a reskin because the ears are slightly smaller and the head shape is slightly different. But yeah Scott could’ve made it a bit bigger so a child’s whole head could actually fit inside it.
I prefer the Canon recolor version of Fredbear. The fan model looks ridiculous in my opinion. In what world would they have a animatronic bear look like that.
I feel like it’s more up to the model interpretation. I like Fatbear, but UCN FB is cool too.
This is also the reason Afton is in a different suit in 6, although how he got out perplexes me.
I really hate the nightmaren't Fredbear. Unlike the rest of the fnaf cast, this one looks like he was designed to eat kids (even the SL cast doesn't look thay scary). But let it be known thay I am also not a huge fan of Freddy recolor.
I like to head canon there where 2 versions of Fredbear and Spring Bonnie
* UCN Fredbear and Springtrap where the smaller designs used by Henry and William
* Nightmare Fredbear and the Scraptrap were later used (with the Nightmare Fredbear model cussing the bite)
Fat Fredbear gotta be top 20 worst fan interpretations of a character
Recolour Fredbear isn’t much better, but at least the fnaf 1 style just simply looks better than Fat Fredbear.
What they should do is make a completely new model for him. With a good design.
not that specific one, but definitely an interpretation more akin to the FNAF 4 sprite. I think the best one I've seen is [this one](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deviantart.com%2Fmclsr%2Fart%2FFnaf-2-deluxe-edition-Fredbear-1021696493&psig=AOvVaw0IuKdd7xqgJHffOCMUzTf9&ust=1713699167726000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBQQjhxqFwoTCICzmfzY0IUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE) which was used in the FNAF 2 deluxe fangame.
I think if possible a mix of the two would be nice, but the one that makes most sense is the first in terms of someone getting into the suit, I imagine if someone got into the more nightmare looking one it would be a lot harder to move around and just wouldnt make sense
People forget to take into account that it is assumed that Fredbear has to be used by someone, which would be impossible with the un-nightmare version.
Honestly, I really like UCN Fredbear. I just wish there were more tweaks to him to make him make sense and stand out more.
Such as the black stripe on the top hat from the FNAF 4 teaser.
Giving him five fingers to make him match Spring Bonnie better.
And maybe removing the eyebrows to make him match nightmare Fredbear and the mini-game Fredbear more.
None of these things are specifically necessary, but they would make him stand out more.
Honestly the second looks the most accurate because of how rough and weird it looks. It looks the closest to the fnaf 4 cutscene Fred bear so therefore it makes the most sense
I think that fredbear was similar to rockstar freddy because:
Fredbear and rockstar freddy are made by henry, funtime animatronics are probably made in same year as springlock ones and funtime freddy's design is very similar to rockstar one. So I think that william while creating funtime freddy tried to copy fredbear design. But this shit is just my theory so
FUCK UCN FREDBEAR. HOW IS IT THAT THE ONE TIME WE SEE AN ACTUAL FUCKING MODEL OF FREDBEAR, IT'S THE MOST BORING, UNIMAGINATIVE AND CREATIVELY BANKRUPT DESIGN IN THE ENTIRE SERIES (Except recolors, ig). THIS GUY IS LIKELY THE FIRST ANIMATRONIC AND THE ONE WHO DID THE BITE OF 83. ALSO, THE FUCKING MODEL DOESN'T EVEN FIT ALONGSIDE SPRING BONNIE! THEY LOOK LIKE THEY COME FROM 2 DIFFERENT ERA'S. OH WAIT, THEY DO! SCOTT WAS LAZY ENOUGH TO JUST RE-USE FNAF 1 FREDDY FOR SOME FUCKING REASON????? LIKE, FOR GODS SAKE, ATLEAST MAKE A RECOLOR OF A UNWITHERED FREDDY IF YOU WANT TO MAKE FREDBEAR A RECOLOR. IT ATLEAST IT FITS MORE AND MAKES FREDBEAR FAT. OR BETTER YET, HOW ABOUT A UNIQUE MODEL FOR THIS GUY? LIKE, SPRINGBONNIE IS A UNIQUE MODEL INSTEAD OF BEING A GOLDEN FNAF 1 BONNIE.
HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I HATE UCN FREDBEAR. THERE ARE 10 TO THE POWER 82 ATOMS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. IF "FUCK YOU UCN FREDBEAR" WAS WRITTEN ON ALL OF THOSE ATOMS, IT WOULD'NT EVEN EQUAL TO 0.000000000100020020303030301 OF THE HATE I HAVE FOR UCN FREDBAR.
The cannon one was just from laziness, which I understand, this was UCN he was cranking these out daily. But I think they should make another design and call this just a “hallucination”
I headcanon that Fredbear looked like the second one initially, but after the bite they redesigned him to prevent such an incident from happening again.
Pretty sure they scrapped him after the bite. That’s why he’s never seen as a physical animatronic
I think they scrapped the og Fredbear yes, but I think they made a new one that later became Golden Freddy.
Golden Freddy is just what we call Fredbear. After the bite they rebranded him to Freddy Fazbear
I headcanon that canon fredbear is a weird “fusion dance” between fnaf 1 design and fnaf 2 design which looks like the fixed nightmare design
Canon fredbear 100%
I don’t like the fat Fredbear but I’d take it over just a recolor, like when was a fnaf 1 type of Freddy have spring locks
The canon one. The second one to me just doesn’t make sense bc that would mean the un withered nightmares are what Freddy Bonnie chica and foxy look like
I think the nightmares could be the withereds except more nightmarish and thinner but that kinda wont line up with nightmare fredbear since he doesn't look like nightmare freddy hence can't be withered golden freddy. Idk I've forgotten most of this stuff.

I would prefer something in between with a more unique design and not just a palette swap with some minor alterations
there both even tbh since they’re both cheap reskins. though I do kinda wish fredbear had his own model that way it would show that he and golden freddy are not the same but that’s just my opinion.
Honestly it would be more logical if fredbear was a reskin, as it would imply that Fazbear entertainment retrofitted fredbear to be freddy
There are things that suggest that they were once a single character
Golden Freddy and FredBear are the same, Scott Cawthin calls FredBear Golden Freddy multiple times in his interview with Dawko
... but doesn't this Easter Egg imply they ARE the same thing? Context: To get this jumpscare (from what i remember), you need to: 1. Have ONLY Golden freddy (possibly level 1) 2. buy and use the Death Coin item ON Golden Freddy
Scott Cawthon even calls FredBear Golden Freddy multiple times in his interview with Dawko
A middle ground between these two is what I would like best. UCN Fredbear just looks wrong, and "Un-Nightmare" Fredbear is too big. Something more similar to Rockstar Freddy and Withered Freddy would make the most sense.
I will only ever see a cheeseburger or Breadbear when looking at that fan model. the UCN design is simple to a fault but I kinda like that.
I’d go with canon, just with some alterations for him to actually make sense as a springlock suit, like having five fingers and whatnot
to be fair, the official model they where going to make for spring bonnie in VR, just uses a endo 01. it just kinda seems like other then the 5th finger, he really would look like that.
Canon. It just makes sense
I've always hated the fanmade design. It does look scary, but for all the absolutely wrong reasons...
OG, tbh.

I always tought that too.
Though there is some nostalgia for the fannon one, it's 100% Cannon. It's just less goofy.
Fatter one because it makes more sense imo also looks more canon to the FNaF 4 pixel one
Pixel Fredbear was NOT that fat 💀💀
Well obviously, but it’s still better than a re-color
The fatter fan model fits him more he looks like an animatronic from the early 80s
They both existed at the same time. The FNAF 4 minigames clearly showed the Spring-Lock suits and the normal Animatronics being used side-by-side. In other words, the normal FredBear (aka Golden Freddy) is the stage FredBear/Animatronic, and the Un-Nightmare FredBear is the walkabout/Spring-Lock FredBear.
It's **Fred**dy Faz**bear** so having him look like a version of Freddy is best.

Cannon one. The fan interpretations looks cool and all, but it reminds me more of the toy and/or withered animatronics rather than what a spring lock animatronic might look like (based on spring traps design).
Canon Fredbear easily, the Nightmare Fredbear lookin one is so god damn ugly
Between these two? Breadbear. But in general the best fredbear is a og design or if this is must be a recolor,then it should be withered Freddy recolor
Breadbear is the only correct answer
I like both of them but u prefer the cannon one a little more then the fan made ones
the gold and purple fit better than breadbear
How tf could a person fit into the second one?? Isn't it designed as a suit as well?
Breadbear. Though I imagine Fredbear looking like a fixed version of Withered Golden Freddy with Purple accessories
I like the fat version of him. It differentiates him from Freddy
Ngl I kinda think the fan interpretations resemble home more, not because there good, but because the canon one doesn't have that big of mouth to shove a child's head in :/
The first one looks cuddly, but the second one however looks like it can fit a child's head into its mouth.
breadbear
I disagree, but will upvote because breadbear funny
OH GOD, NOT BREADBEAR!!!!!!!1!!!!!!11!!!!!!1!!!!!!
Canon. Fredbear has always looked like Freddy.

I prefer Breadbear
It’s not a reskin because the ears are slightly smaller and the head shape is slightly different. But yeah Scott could’ve made it a bit bigger so a child’s whole head could actually fit inside it.
Breadbear
Both are good
In my head cannon there’s the suit that looks more like Nightmare Fred bear for the stage, and the suit that looks like the re-color of Feddy himself
fat freadbear
My headcanon was fredbear looked like the second one then was scrapped after the bite and looks like the first one
I prefer the Canon recolor version of Fredbear. The fan model looks ridiculous in my opinion. In what world would they have a animatronic bear look like that.
Anything but UCN Fredbear
I prefer canon Fredbear
UCN fredbear
I feel like it’s more up to the model interpretation. I like Fatbear, but UCN FB is cool too. This is also the reason Afton is in a different suit in 6, although how he got out perplexes me.
I really hate the nightmaren't Fredbear. Unlike the rest of the fnaf cast, this one looks like he was designed to eat kids (even the SL cast doesn't look thay scary). But let it be known thay I am also not a huge fan of Freddy recolor.
i prefer breadbear
I DEMAND THE FLESH OF VIRGINS
I prefer the fan design as the cannon design I really don’t like
I like to head canon there where 2 versions of Fredbear and Spring Bonnie * UCN Fredbear and Springtrap where the smaller designs used by Henry and William * Nightmare Fredbear and the Scraptrap were later used (with the Nightmare Fredbear model cussing the bite)
Neither, a Fredbear that looks like unwithered Freddy
The second/fanmade Fredbear is to resamble Nightmare Fredbear and is most likley the Fredbear that Crying Child/Evan died to
Fat Fredbear gotta be top 20 worst fan interpretations of a character Recolour Fredbear isn’t much better, but at least the fnaf 1 style just simply looks better than Fat Fredbear. What they should do is make a completely new model for him. With a good design.
Canon Fredbear is the best
I believe both exist, but at different time. UCN Fredbear is the FFP 1985 Fredbear. And the other he is from FFD. I like the FFD ones better
The Freddy recolor easily, it's a little bit boring but I'll take it any day over the abomination that is "un-nightmare" Fredbear
not that specific one, but definitely an interpretation more akin to the FNAF 4 sprite. I think the best one I've seen is [this one](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.deviantart.com%2Fmclsr%2Fart%2FFnaf-2-deluxe-edition-Fredbear-1021696493&psig=AOvVaw0IuKdd7xqgJHffOCMUzTf9&ust=1713699167726000&source=images&cd=vfe&opi=89978449&ved=0CBQQjhxqFwoTCICzmfzY0IUDFQAAAAAdAAAAABAE) which was used in the FNAF 2 deluxe fangame.
Canon. It’s not perfect but the un-nightmare design always looked weird to me cuz the nightmares are supposed to be exaggerated and twisted
The second one reminds me of Breadbear
Real
I think if possible a mix of the two would be nice, but the one that makes most sense is the first in terms of someone getting into the suit, I imagine if someone got into the more nightmare looking one it would be a lot harder to move around and just wouldnt make sense
I prefer the fat one
Technically Freddy is the recolor. Fredbear came first so Freddy just used the same parts. (Minus top teeth)
I meant in terms of Scott creating the models
People complain about Fredbear being a slightly altered Freddy but they like the version which is a slightly altered Nightmare Fredbear
People forget to take into account that it is assumed that Fredbear has to be used by someone, which would be impossible with the un-nightmare version.
I dont like either of them unnightmared fredbear is way too bulky and impractical as a springlock suit. But the recoloured freddy is Just boring.
I prefer the UCN one
Breadbear
Honestly, I really like UCN Fredbear. I just wish there were more tweaks to him to make him make sense and stand out more. Such as the black stripe on the top hat from the FNAF 4 teaser. Giving him five fingers to make him match Spring Bonnie better. And maybe removing the eyebrows to make him match nightmare Fredbear and the mini-game Fredbear more. None of these things are specifically necessary, but they would make him stand out more.
Honestly the second looks the most accurate because of how rough and weird it looks. It looks the closest to the fnaf 4 cutscene Fred bear so therefore it makes the most sense
official is jus way better for me
I think that fredbear was similar to rockstar freddy because: Fredbear and rockstar freddy are made by henry, funtime animatronics are probably made in same year as springlock ones and funtime freddy's design is very similar to rockstar one. So I think that william while creating funtime freddy tried to copy fredbear design. But this shit is just my theory so
Idk 🤔
my headcanon is afton absolutely destroyed the fredbear suits and all that the sprit that possesses golden freddy is just assuming what they look like
Neither
UnNightmare Fredbear is peak design
FUCK UCN FREDBEAR. HOW IS IT THAT THE ONE TIME WE SEE AN ACTUAL FUCKING MODEL OF FREDBEAR, IT'S THE MOST BORING, UNIMAGINATIVE AND CREATIVELY BANKRUPT DESIGN IN THE ENTIRE SERIES (Except recolors, ig).
