As you explore through the factory and try to escape after you stopped The Prototype from killing CatNap (even though he was accepting his fate) you hear some people talking, they sound similar to the voices of Smiling Critters from the cartoon but more mature and grown up. You sneak around the corner and peak at what's going on, you see The Smiling Critters but after the bigger bodies initiative, to see their taller, more beat up, and they're held together by belts with a strange black streak under their eyes. You listen in on the conversation and hear this...

Hoppy Hopscotch: "You saw a HUMAN in the factory? Like, as in a person?!"

Dogday: "Mhm, I did, they...saved me, helped me get my legs back, and stopped the smaller critters from killing me."

Kickinchicken: "I dunno man, I mean it's a human, I don't feel like we could trust 'em, you know our history with other people..."

Craftycorn: "W-Who knows, maybe...maybe they're different! They might be our key to escape!"

Picky Piggy: "I don't know...seems a little suspicious...don't you think?"

Catnap: Dead silent as he watches everyone, still confused why you saved him despite his attempts to kill you
