PROTOTYPES 

GENERATION 1 

The Generation 1 Springlock Suits are based on the 2020 'SpringSuit' concept, where the animatronic is a base endoskeleton, with a detachable suit that's filled with springlocks to stabilize both parts together and allow for a quick release of the suit. Why not just have a simple suit that you can take on and off? Well for 2 reasons: 

1) Some parts have to be fastened onto the endoskeleton. A regular fastner would be too slow to open/close (bolts etc...) 

-The suit should not 'hang' onto the endoskeleton but instead be put with a structure, justifying the endoskeleton. Just compare the Prototype SpringBonnie suit to my current GEN1 SpringBonnie for example. 

The goal is for the GEN1 to be the most 'showtime ready' suit, as a single endoskeleton can wear any costume- meaning this suit can fill its entertainment purpose more than other 'experimental' suits. 

GENERATION 2 

The GEN Springlock Suits will be based on the original design of Springlock Suits, being animatronics that can open up and allow room for a wearer, while still retaining the same endoskeleton structure. This mechanism will allow for even quicker change in-between shows, but won't allow for quick character swap. 

GENERATION 3 

The GEN3 suits, also called 'MCM Suits' or 'Springlock Station' are spring-loaded costumes designed to either be worn by a human, or stay perfectly still in a standing pose. The animatronic part will be the head, continuouslypowered and radio-linked to move and talk. The goal is to make a suit that can be worn extremely easly, and left performing seamlessly- while also exploring possibilities of a quick-wear panel system.
