Lockjaw (also known as Frankburt) makes his debut appearance in The Return to Freddy's 2. He is a 40% safer Springlock suit designed by The Owner after Golden Lockjaw's physical and mechanical design, that was used as an entertainer at Frankburt's Pizza.
Decades later, after the restaurant's closure, Lockjaw was stored in the Parts/Service Room of Fredbear's Family Diner for storage and safekeeping, but was later possessed by BFP, who tragically died inside of him. He appears as a minor hallucination in the game and in various death minigames.
Appearance
In the Original Version, Lockjaw is a pale white humanoid animatronic wearing a plain light blue shirt along with some dark blue jeans. He also noticeably is wearing what appears to be a fedora with a white stripe. He also has bright red cheeks, very similar to that of the Toy Animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's 2, along with some glowing grey eyes. He also seems to be made out of wood, however, that's very likely just the textures design.
In the cancelled Major Updates for 2018, Lockjaw's appearance was once again considerably changed. His model was modified to be less spherical and majorly improved, being equipped with an actual endoskeleton. His coloring is now less wrinkled, although it keeps being a little rotten. He's now seen wearing a black fedora with a red stripe (unlike his original design, which has a white stripe) along with a black bowtie and two black buttons on his chest. His eyes are now colored green and he was given brown hair on his head mask.
Behavior
Gameplay
Lockjaw's most prominent role in the original TRTF 2 is as a rare Easter egg, in which Lockjaw can be seen sitting down in the Parts/Services Room replacing Sugar's spot, similar to how Shadow Freddy did in Five Nights at Freddy's 2. A hallucination of Lockjaw also appears along with Shadow Lockjaw's faces popping up, usually during the later nights of the game.
In the planned Major Updates, Lockjaw's behavior was planned to be become an active antagonist after witnessing his Easter Egg. He would have started on the Parts/Service room and eventually proceeded to move into the Main Hall and then to your Security Office. The player then must have quickly put on the Freddy Mask and stood still until Lockjaw went away. Failing to do so would have caused him to jumpscare the player, resulting in a game over.
Minigames
Lockjaw first appears in the "Follow Golden Freddy minigame, in which you play as Lockjaw inside of an unknown location and must follow Golden Freddy to see where he's heading to. When following Golden Freddy throughout the location, the player can see various dead children laying throughout the hallways. Eventually, Golden Freddy will guide Lockjaw all the way to the Music Box Room where the animatronic is now gone from. In order to end the minigame, the player must walk into any of the dead children's bodies.
Lockjaw also makes another appearance in the "Lockjaw minigame", in which you play as Lockjaw inside of, presumably Frankburt's Pizza, you appear to be inside of a room with six children. The player needs to constantly walk up to each of the children or else they will start to get angrier and angrier, once the player walks up to them they will be happy once again. The minigame will automatically end if the player leaves any of the children angry for too long.
In The Office Minigame, the player controls Lockjaw locked inside a room that heavily resembles an office. The player strangely cannot leave the office no matter what they do and there is no legitimate known ways to beat the minigame, the only way to get back out is to close the game.
Trivia
- Lockjaw was deliberately designed to resemble his creator (Tyler Ahlström) at the time.
- Lockjaw himself does not appear in the The Return to Freddy's Classic, however, the Nightmare Fuel menu from TRTF 4 claims that he appeared in the classic version and that Shadow Lockjaw is Lockjaw, according to Tyler, as said in a livestream.
- Nightmare Fuel also said that the child that possessed Lockjaw once possessed The Puppet.
- Shadow Lockjaw was intended to be "the very first prototype animatronic" originally according to a post from Tyler in 2015.[1] Lockjaw is stated to be the world's first ever animatronic in TRTF 4, so this may mean that TRTF 2 Lockjaw and TRTF 2 Shadow Lockjaw were intended to be the same character originally.
- Lockjaw is one of Tyler's favorite characters, the other being The Unknown/The Beast.
- In the same post, Shadow Lockjaw was also revealed to be the source of the screaming sounds that you hear in Night 5 and 6, so if Shadow Lockjaw was just another form Lockjaw took then Lockjaw be responsible for these screams.
- For the Major Updates of 2016, Lockjaw was planned to be the main playable character in one of its game modes called "Dread Mode", where Lockjaw had to prevent the "Ghoul Animatronics" from attacking him.
- In the original lore of TRTF 2, Lockjaw was originally meant to be the very first animatronic at Fredbear's Family Diner that was stored in the Parts/Service room due to being very glitchy and too scary for the children.
- This was later retconned in the latter games, like most other lore details from TRTF 2.
- The first Major Updates version of Lockjaw was modified into "HappyJaw", a colorful version of Lockjaw that was planned to be used in the "Get Happy" music video by Tyler, before being scrapped.
Lockjaw comes back in The Return to Freddy's 3, now as the main antagonist of the game as well as being one of the main mascots of Fazbear Fantasy Land. He now has a much larger role compared to the one he had in TRTF 2.
Appearance
Lockjaw appears green in this game because of the lighting, but he is the same color as in the second game. He has many rips and holes all over his suit, and multiple wires hanging out of it. Inside his suit, what appears to be the remains of a human child can be seen. His mouth always seems to be open because his head is rounded, making it stretch upward from the jaw. His eyes are part of the child's remains, as seen in the startup images.
Behavior
Starting from Night 2 and onwards, Lockjaw will start in CAM 10. Lockjaw will then proceed to move into CAM 09 before then going into CAM 08, CAM 06, CAM 05, CAM 03 and then finally into CAM 02. After that, Lockjaw will then proceed to quickly run through The Office before jumpscaring the player. To defend yourself from Lockjaw, the player must lock the doors (which are accessed through the cameras). If the player ever loses track of Lockjaw, he's luckily hooked up to the "View Animatronic" function on the Signal Panel so you can always know where he is. However, if Lockjaw is already in the Office, it can't be done, as the doors can only be locked through the cameras.
Trivia
- Lockjaw's original model for this game (which can be seen within TRTFSR) originally lacked a nose.
- During the development of TRTF 3, Tyler had many nightmares of Lockjaw.
- This is very similar to the many nightmares Scott Cawthon had of Bonnie during development of the original Five Nights at Freddy's.
- Lockjaw plays the piano, however, he only does this in rare occasions. It is unknown why and how he plays it.
- The piano sound effect comes from Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
- As revealed in the Nightmare Fuel menu in TRTF 4, Lockjaw was supposed to speak in TRTF 3, but the idea was moved to TRTF 4.
- However, Lockjaw's ability to speak within TRTF 4 was eventually cut as well.
- In TRTF 4's intro, while Fazbear Fantasy Land is being demolished, Lockjaw's TRTF 3 model can be seen there, slumped.
- In The Return to Freddy's 5, this version of Lockjaw is shown as an empty head on Floor 1.
- Sometimes when starting up the game, one of 5 rare screens of Lockjaw may appear.
- If the player does not look to the left when Lockjaw appears in their office, Lockjaw will not attack them, making Lockjaw an easily avoidable threat.
- Within the original ending of the game, Lockjaw is stated to be 40 years old. This is contradicted in The Return to Freddy's: The Dreadful Truth however, which states that he (along with the rest of the animatronics created for Frankburt's Pizza) was originally built in 1944.
Lockjaw comes back as the main antagonist of The Return to Freddy's 4. He used to be a TV Showbiz animatronic used in the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza from 1987 that was found decades later by the Phone Buddies and kept in FreddyFazzyFuntime for future use.
Appearance
Lockjaw is very different in this version since he is not the same entity we saw in the previous games, instead, he is a TV Showbiz animatronic that was used in a children's TV show. He appears to be damaged, with some small rips on his body, and his endoskeleton feet and shoulders being completely visible. His head is now cylindrical, unlike the previous versions of him.
Behavior
Lockjaw first becomes active on Night 1 and onwards, just like all of the other animatronics in the game. Lockjaw starts in CAM 11, before moving into CAM 10, CAM 08, CAM 07, CAM 03 and then finally into CAM 09. After that, Lockjaw will then limp past the office hallway, moving slowly. After that, Lockjaw will then appear inside of the player's office, violently twitching around. The player must then quickly pull the steam lever or else he will jumpscare the player. If the player successfully fends him off, he will leave the office and go back to his starting location.
Nightmare Fuel Description
Lockjaw's Nightmare Fuel description reads: "Lockjaw, A.K.A Frankburt, is the world's first ever animatronic that has been left for spare parts for decades. The child that possessed this animatronic was mentally abused, and died in 1987 by the mysterious murderer and an insane jester. Lockjaw can also be seen in TRTF 1 and 2. The child that possessed Lockjaw was also once the puppet... Lockjaw also plays a HUGE role in the TRTF story. Lockjaw was also originally meant to speak in TRTF 3, but that feature has been moved to TRTF 4.
Fact: Lockjaw came from an old diner/pizzeria in 1958 called Frankburt's Pizza. That location was left to rot and was soon to become Fredbear's Family Diner..."
Trivia
- Lockjaw and Freddy Fazbear are the only animatronics that can kill Blake when he hides in the Locker.
- In the newspaper shown when starting the game, BFP reveals his name to be Frankburt, as well as the Phone Call on Night 1 calling him Frank and Nightmare Fuel.
- Lockjaw is actually one of the easiest animatronics to defend off, as he's pretty slow. However he can still be a threat, if multiple animatronics can appear in the hallway at the same time, he can be a pretty big problem.
- This is particularly common on Night 7.
- A sprite exists in the files showing Lockjaw peeking from the right, he does not do this in the full game.
- This was also seen in the Game Jolt page.
- Sprites exist of Lockjaw traveling to the left instead of the right, but he doesn't do this in game.
Lockjaw returns as a minor character in The Return to Freddy's 5. His physical form appears in the main menu of the Runtime Demo as an Unwithered Torture Lockjaw, or as a prop in Floor 1. He also makes several appearances in most of the minigames.
While Lockjaw appears in the game, he is majorly replaced by Tortured Lockjaw.
Lockjaw, now called by his real name, "Frankburt", was supposed to come back in The Return to Freddy's: FRANKBURT'S, before its cancellation. He serves as a male stripper at FRANKBURT'S, and as a proposed major antagonist for the game.
Appearance
Frankburt is a white humanoid animatronic made out of a fabric casing that is equipped with a cylindrical head that showcases white teeth, red cheeks, brown hair, and a soul patch beard. His body is painted in a dark blue color while his arms are painted with a light blue color, resembling a long-sleeved shirt. He wears a black fedora with a red stripe along with a slivered black bowtie, two big black buttons on his chest, and black shoes. He's also seen wearing dark blue cut gloves. His head has several turquoise stripes on it, resembling tears.
Behavior
Frankburt would have most likely started at the Show Stage with two poles and roamed around FRANKBURT'S during the nightshift and reach where Blake currently is, either be his Security Office, the vents he would be hiding at, or the Dining Area (though it is unknown where Frankburt would have exactly attacked the player or if he could attack in more than one place). If the player failed to hide or escape from Frankburt, they would have gotten jumpscared by him, resulting in a game over.
