There's actually THREE generations of Springlocks. Remember the tenporary suits that aren't 100% approriate, that would be used BEFORE the replacmeents arrive?

Three GENERATIONS. Each location also had their own Fredbear and SpringBonnie. Remember, the Missing Children Incident was different in the Silver Eyes. And we can't just say they're different kids at the same location, because those five kids ALSO possesed the animatronics. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and GF. And yet they died differently than the ACTUAL kids that possesed the animatronics, and must be different! Why?

Because this is a different Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, with a different set of animatronics. William Afton is the CEO of Fazbear Entertainment, so he'd probably be visiting all of the locations, not just the ones the FNAF games take place in.

Here's my theory on the three generations of Springlock suits.

First generation (classic suits)-GF and Springtrap. Withered and abandoned by FNAF2

Second generation (temporary suits)-The Shadow animatronics, actually. Well, the ones you see in FNAF2, that is. Remember how they're not appropriate? Yeah, they got the color wrong.

The Purple Shadows from FNAF3/FNAF4 would appear later to replace the old Shadows, since they sort of became their own characters due to the different coloring. They were meant to be Fredbear and SpringBonnie of course, but the different color made it easier to just call them new characters, than to try and explain to the kids why Fredbear and SpringBonnie are now BLACK/Dark Purple. This explains why the purple Shadows appear WITH the next generation of Springlocks in FNAF4, when at the same time, the Shadows are in FNAF2, abandoned.

Third generation (replacement suits):Fredbear and SpringBonnie from FNAF4. The purple hat and purple bowtie are meant to distinguish these suits from the classic suits, which are not meant to be used. That way, the employees won't accidentally wear the classic suits, trying to wear the replacements.
