Description
Here comes a Security Breach theory you're all going to absolutely despise, but I think it could possibly be what's happening here...
I will be referencing both games and books. I know a lot of people don't like to put them together, and I'm not saying they fit perfectly together, but I think some of the books/stories can fill in some gaps/share themes with the games.

This might be a long one, so buckle up.

So... Burntrap. Let's talk about him.

I don't think he's quite what we think he is at first glance.

What do we see... the results of fnaf 6, correct?
What's left of Scraptrap after the fire.

Makes sense.

But might I offer up a possible different view?
A much more convoluted interpretation of what we're all looking at.

Ahem...

So first of all, I'd like to get out of the way something: I know there's a debate if Glitchtrap is William. Some believe William to have perished in the events of fnaf 6, only to end up in a "Hell" of sorts in UCN. A purgatory, perhaps.
That's where he is forever. Being tortured.
Some say Glitchtrap is perhaps a copy, a fragment of William, or just a manifestation of agony.
I believe The Man in Room 1280 and The Stitchwraith Saga (as it's fun to call those little snippets at the end of the books that make a bigger story) from Fazbear Frights clears up what happened after the events of UCN, and clear up what was even happening there.
Now granted, these stories are possibly not meant to fit hand in glove with the games, but Scott DID say that these stories (or at least some of them) would clear up some questions in the games. So I'm giving myself the go-ahead to use them for theory crafting. (:

In The Man in Room 1280, we see a burnt up corpse of a man. No matter what, this man will not die.
As the story goes on, we learn there is a ghost - a vengeful spirit - keeping him alive.
It's the reason he won't die.
And it is torturing him in his own mind.
Later on, this man's body does give out.
It actually kind of...explodes.
Setting the spirits trapped in it free.

In the Stitchwraith Saga, we later on see that this man was indeed William Afton.
He no longer has a body. He is pure spirit, attaching himself to a robot body two kids are inhabiting, keeping quiet and not letting them know he's there until he finds his moment to strike.
Eventually, he escapes from that body and created himself a giant robotic body out of old Fazbear animatronics, including plenty of familiar characters.
(I honestly thought once I saw the Blob in Security Breach that something similar would play out, but it didn't. ...At least not yet.)
He's seemingly defeated when The Marionette rushes in and chases away the one who was his source of power. Weak and defenseless, the spirits of his victims proceed to attack him by pulling their new form apart, falling into the ocean.
It lead us to believe that this was the end for William Afton, but we never actually see him go. It says there was still a small spark of him lingering, but the Stitchwraith had to run away at that point, assuming he'd fizzle out for good. (Never assume that with this guy.)
Now...the reason I bring all that up is to say, I believe either that or something similar happened. I do think William got out and somehow found his way to becoming what we know as Glitchtrap.
I believe Glitchtrap is 100% Willaim in spirit form. It's his ghost. It's him without a body. His body is burnt and ruined.
Although decribed in a more gross way, when we see his spirit in Fazbear Frights, he even has rabbit ears.

Having his body burnt and ruined to the point he can no longer use it, I believe he is using Vanny for a vessel. (Duh.)
I won't go into my other theory of Vanny and Vanessa, you can read that for yourself if you want. It doesn't need to apply here if you don't agree with it.

Why would he need to use a different body if we find him as Burntrap in the sinkhole/old location?
Well...his body is what I'm getting to. (And what I'm sure you'll all hate. But I'm not sharing this theory because it sounds cool, I'm sharing it because I think it's highly plausible.)

If you will, allow me to reference The Fourth Closet.
As his body was dying, William states that he's cheated death before and that he greatly fears death. (How ironic for a murderer.)
In the course of the trilogy of books, he's been after Charlie. The robot that seems so human that she doesn't even know she's not human.
He makes it clear that he wants what Charlie has. What Henry accidentally stumbled upon.

He wants to be a machine. An immortal machine, incapable of dying.

But not like his victims; confused and out of control...
Not even like his daughter, who although more advanced, still had to die a horrible death that she still feels every moment, who seems to be two halves...Circus Baby and Elizabeth, melded into one being.

He wants to be in complete control. He wants to be whole. He wants to keep his humanity. He doesn't want to have to risk dying to a machine to possibly meld with it.
He wants to still be him. He wants what Charlie seems to possess. He wants to figure out how she is what she is. Robot and human. And he wants that for himself.
Immortality and in control. Machine and humanity.

Keeping that motive in your mind, put it on the back burner.
(I know it doesn't fit hand-in-glove with the games, but it's the same character. He can absolutely have the same motives/wants in the games.)

Back to Security Breach.
This is something I noticed that I wasn't going to bring up because I didn't think it mattered to this theory, but it just might (or maybe not, but I think it's neat, so I'll mention it anyway)...because of a new bit of information I've just come across, I think this might be a fun little thing to point out that may or may not be the case.
So it seems currently that Glamrock Freddy is the only Glamrock haunted, right?
The others are just overtaken by the Virus, correct? (As far as we know.)
Let me go down a rabbithole here...
The Virus is Glitchtrap and Glitchtrap is William Afton.
So William Afton is infecting and (at least somewhat) controlling the Glamrocks.
This is not the first time he's done this. He did this in The Twisted Ones.
All of the Twisted animatronics were an extension of him.
So that got me thinking about the personalities of the Glamrocks...and I wonder if perhaps some of William is showing through them.
Chica's calm, friendly, and cheery tone that sometimes sounds slightly...off when trying to lure you out, offering candy and safety...perhaps how a certain yellow rabbit might attempt to lure kids?
Given from Chica's prerecorded message in her attraction, she seemed very peppy and happy. Not a hint of any bad intentions behind her words.
Roxanne's back and forth of self worship and self hatred, it reminds me of William from the books going back and forth between praising himself and not thinking so highly of himself.
Roxy's prerecorded message in her attraction made her seem very confident and...emotionally stable.
Montgomery is aggressive. He's violent. ...Need I say more? I will anyway. OBVIOUSLY William can be violent. He's a murderer. But we've also seen he has violent outbursts in The Fourth Closet. One example that always sticks out in my head, Elizabeth shows us a time where she simply was trying to show him a gold star sticker she got in kindergarten, and he not only shoved her away, but then hit her so hard her head hit the floor and she blacked out.
Monty's prerecorded message in his attraction makes him sound a lot more in control of himself and levelheaded and ready to have a good time.
Even Moon's behavior (I don't think the Sun side of the Daycare Attendant in infected by the Virus) reminds me of how William behaved in The Twisted Ones. Giggling to himself. Practically giddy. All while being somehow both playful and creepy.
If you listen to some of Freddy's cut audio from the game's files, there's a section that seems to be if/when Afton takes him over. He still sounds like himself and says things Freddy would say, but he's very menacing, trying to manipulate you to get you to come out of hiding... That makes me think even moreso that in all the infected animatronics, we're hearing a little bit William in them. Like he's melding with their already programmed personalities, corrupting them.

Now again, I wasn't going to bring any of this up here.
But I stumbled upon something that got me thinking...
As of writing this, Tales from the Pizzaplex #1 is the only one that has released.
Now perhaps as time goes on, this train of thought will be completely debunked. Only time will tell.
But, as the crew building the Pizzaplex - the same one in the game built on top of the old pizzeria - are getting the shipment of shiny, new animatronic characters...one of them has been basically destroyed. After looking on in confusion, one man mentions that it looks like they'll need a new guitarist. I believe we're finally going to find out what happened to Bonnie.
Now! Something interesting was mentioned...
Not only was this rabbit endoskeleton (confirmed by the beams on top of the head standing up as ears) stripped of its shell...the body is burnt.
It's BURNT.
...everything, except for its HEAD.
Now...bringing it all back to where I was going with this in the first place...

Burntrap. It's just Scraptrap after the fire, right?

I'm sure we've all noticed ol' Willy Billy Daffodilly's endoskeleton is a Glamrock endoskeleton.
And I'm sure most of us have noticed his hands are the hands that only the base players have. He has the pointy claws that Monty had to be upgraded to when he became base player.
I think it's fairly obvious that this is Bonnie's endoskeleton. This is where he went.
And perhaps, although in game he didn't talk, we heard what seemed to be William with a completely different voice in the trailers. I was very confused about that (and a little relieved, though confused, when it was cut from the game, because no one will be a better William than PJ Heywood and I didn't see a reason to not bring him back), he had a different voice. But perhaps, although it was William speaking...it was Bonnie's voice.
Now given that this new Tales from the Pizzaplex ending part seems to be the beginning of what will probably be the prequel to Security Breach...perhaps the reason why this endoskelton's body is burned is because that body doesn't belong to it.
It's William's body. Or what remains of it.
I think, perhaps...they simply swapped heads.
Now WHY would William want his old burnt crispy nasty head? (And what remained of the Spring Bonnie costume he wore in fnaf 6, for that matter.)

Here's what it all comes down to...
Let's take a look at Burntrap.
Most of his head is there, but just some bits of a sort of fleshy substance is spread thinly through the endoskeleton. And two somewhat formed fingers on his right hand.
What'd they do, PEEL him off the old endoskeleton and meticulously weave him in and out of the new endoskeleton? ...I mean maybe.
But no...I don't think so...even if there was much left of him after the fire, he's probably be too crispy to do that anyway. He'd just disintegrate, I'd imagine.

Now, I want you to take a deep breath and calm yourself before you knock my teeth out of my face.
Let's think back to Fazbear Frights...to something weird. There were PLENTY of weird stories, but I'm talking about something weird that was recurring in multiple stories.
Something that was being set up as a new element...and lead to nothing.
Something...that with a little DNA...could grow and spread its pink tendrils...and grow into a perfect clone of a human...

That's right.

Fazgoo.

Look at Burntrap. They have his head. They have what's left of the suit that would have DNA.
Look at the pink tendrils spreading through the more advanced endoskeleton.

What did he want in the books? To be like one of the more advanced robots. To be immortal. To still be himself.

He's not down there, rotten, decrepit, decaying.

He's growing himself a new body.
