So today on my stream (follow me) , a brief topic came up about how bad Mac's story was, so I started brain storming like.

If I were to rewrite the story (only story, not remaking the games), a vision I had is that I could make it so the new story starts on the McBarge, making the Non-Canon Third game a Canon Prequel to the story, going with the obvious "oh something happened on the McBarge which lead to it being abandoned, many years later a group picks it up to turn it into a deep sea discovery centre, blah blah blah they find the animatronics in the mess during construction", which obviously cause of what happened to cause the McBarge's closure so happened to effect the animatronics and their overall behaviour, making them hostile and the 3rd Game which would then be canon would then take place.

If I were to guess off the top of my head right now on what happens next, during construction of the McBarge, debris from construction along with the animatronics are sent off, in which the animatronics were then bought by the owner of a local McDonald's to give a vintage comeback theme for their restaurant for business requirements, ya know, MONEY!

In which they pay off for the animatronics to get repaired and then sent back to the restaurant, in which this is would be the 2nd game of the series, set at an actual McDonald's, which the first would've been Mac 3 but as Mac 1, if that makes sense.

Even though the animatronics were fixed, their behaviour is still out of place when it comes to the night, in which the events at the McBarge most likely effected them that hard.

In all honesty this is all I could come up with if it came to a rewrite of the Mac story, if I come up with anything more I might consider jotting it down
