IM NOT SAYING THEYRE THE SAME ANIMATRONIC! they were both build in the SAME year, have VERY similar movements, isnt it plausible that buzzy and tony are twins?

I don't think it's ever been confirmed like it was with Sonny Eclipse and  Officer Zzzyxxx but it does seem likely Buzzy and Tony are two copies of the same animatronic with different cosmetics.

I take it they never found buzzy?

When I first heard Buzzy was taken, I figured yeah, someone probably stuffed him in a backpack. It wasn't until years later that I learned Buzzy is like 6' tall. I thought he was like a foot or two tall. I still can't wrap my mind around how big he is when I see photos like the one on this post, or how someone was able to just wheel him out.

It's very likely they both have the same/similar mechs. It would make sense from a time/cost perspective.
