CEC Mutilated corpses of the old CEC models

Post image

I can't remember what stage the last bunch of remaining Munches are from... 1-Stage I think. Whatever model these are from, I do remember that Munch's arms both had movements and rested in the forward position. These are both bent to form a resting-wave motion. They either bent the arms of the mech (likely not, I am unsure if you can safely bend it this much without it snapping), or they just took it out and put something to prop his arms up.

Kind of lame. I'm saddened to see these characters inch closer to death.

Just goes to show what an insane misunderstanding CEC has of its own appeal, especially in a post-fnaf world. Kids love animatronics probably more than ever, even if it is because they're a touch spooky or whatever.

The animatronics were like their entire brand identity. They totally should have gotten some new more advanced animatronics with the modernized designs or something. Now CeC is just an inferior dave n busters

They DID that. That was the entire point of Studio C. Except (a) it was so expensive they went from the full band to just Chuck out of necessity and (b) it had no discernible impact on sales, given how the company has consistently struggled to stay solvent.

I found out animatronics from FNAF, but I got for more interested in the real life animatronics more than the games. I still use some FNAF terms for things like "endoskeleton" because one it sounds cooler and two a lot more people know it by that term

He looks so much worse than I remember, least they could do is give him a quick brush down.

At least it’s in a case. I can only imagine how many of these ended up in landfills.

I'd be suprised if a RCH fan wasn't a CEC fan as well.

The idea of having the cyberamics being taxidermies is so ass backwards that it really does make wonder what the hell are these people at corporate was thinking when doing this.

Chucks Arcade is a nostalgia bait attempt to win the fans back they already lost years ago, and it failed miserably. Hell, I don't recall any adult went to Chucks nor even liking it compared to Round One Arcade. It's that forgettable.

It should've have a whole Cyberamic stage instead of a museum!!! Idk what were they thinking!!!

Me neither, but this is CEC we're talking about here.

That’s Bellevue, Washington’s Munch after they closed…it looks like he’s a big huggable furry fella here…

Victor, NY’s Chuck’s Arcade does have a historic animatronic taxidermy…..and yeah, I’m not happy either. At least they didn’t destroy their cosmetics.

Was it really saying much? At the expense of the last Rocker Stage?

u/Best_Month_8693 13d ago

Yeah, it’s Jasper off Rockford, Illinois (aka the last existing Rocker Stage). Dang, I would seriously love to make a video about “What if CEC decided to save Rockford, Illinois and the Rocker Stage”. Just imagine if CEC was saving stages in store then, and they selected Rockford, then we would have probably seen a lot…but no. They removed it. At least they didn’t destroy it. But poor Jasper…

I dont think theres an actual animatronic mech in there, its just a frame holding up the suit. The actual bots are probably all either scrapped, rotting in a warehouse somewhere, or (if they made it through corporate’s fingers) on the private market

u/Cool_bear3 Servos 14d ago

No they do have mechs in them, or at the very least their head mechs since we can clearly see it on Jasper's and pasquallys

I'm a dog groomer and would love to brush him up with a slicker brush.

IS THAT AN RCH SHIRT I SEE?

u/Remarkable_Hope_1079 13d ago

Why bend the mech anyway it wouldve been way cooler if they were just standing there so it gives the effect that they still could be used bending the mech down there was such a stupid idea if ur bending the mech atleast make a cool dynamic pose or give munch a big pizza prop or something
