* Before the Great War broke out in ''Fanfic/TransformersMHA'', Cybertron was ruled by a caste system known as Functionism where every Cybertronian's alt mode decided what their occupation in life will be; if you're a jet, you'll be a scientist, and if you're a car, you'll be in the police force, etc. Megatron formed the Decepticons as a movement to remove the caste system so that everyone can have equal rights and can make their own choices in life. He started the war after the Cybertronian Council refused his demand to make him the next Prime.

* The ''WebOriginal/FluffyPony'' story ''[[https://fluffy-community.com/t/soylent-brown-by-jackie-22/39564 Soylent Brown]]'' is set in a mill that prioritizes the value and living conditions of fluffies based on several criteria. While a fluffy can go down it in several ways due to bad behavior or poor litters, there are pitifully few opportunities to advance up it.
** Given that they're very rare and have high monetary value, alicorns are given the best lodgings in the mill, with plenty of toys, food, and space. Before Rarity caused Katz to repeal such transitions, A-Block fluffies that proved well-behaved and showed tolerance if not genuine friendliness towards alicorns would be allowed in this section to act as playmates.
**A-Block is reserved for regular fluffies who are well-behaved and have appealing colors that managed to advance from B-Block. They and their foals are afforded a pleasant safe room, and sleep in kennels. Occasionally, they're fed extremely cheap spaghetti.
**B-Block is a series of simple rooms filled with cages. A vast majority of freshly weaned fluffies wind up here. The cages are pointed at a single television screen to keep their inhabitants occupied outside of the few hours of play they get outside of them. They are given regular food, and are disciplined harsher than they would be in A-Block. It is a "stress test" crucible of sorts. Fluffies that keep good manners despite the harsh conditions and produce well are sent up to A-Block. Those that let the conditions negatively affect them are sent down to C-Block. Otherwise, they live out their days here. Fluffies who start out or demoted to C-Block can work their way up to B-Block, but they can never go further as the mill doesn't want them whining about the harsher conditions there to A-Block denizens, or worse, alicorns.
** C-Block is the last "real" block in the mill. It is virtually identical to B-Block, but there's no television, no playtime, and they're mostly fed the titular recycled substance. Workers are allowed to more harshly discipline the fluffies here.
** D-Block is not a real block. There is no going up from it. Rather it's located in a separate building, and is structured more like a small warehouse. Fluffies here aren't even regularly fed as they're not expected to last that long. How a fluffy winds up in D-Block is rather arbitrary, as lapses and transgressions that would get them sent to the incinerator or another means of disposal instead funnel them here. Probably to pad out its population for the sake of its customer base. As such, mares, stallions, and even foals can be found here. This is one of the two areas in the mill devoted chiefly for abusers, who can rent time with a fluffy (killing optional) on a first-come-first-serve basis through a single file line at set prices. They can use the implements available, opt to simply rely on their bare hands, or bring their own tools of torture within reason. D-Block is arguably the very worst outcome for all mill fluffies, and it would objectively be that, if not for the fact that E-Block exists.
** E-Block is the very worst place for a specific sort of fluffy mare (and their foals). While D-Block chiefly exists for the sake of extra profit, E-Block is more concerned with punishment. A mare does not merely have to produce bad litters or act poorly, but she must also have "a defiant attitude, strong maternal instinct, good foal management," and a "talkative" disposition. This is because research shows that this is combination of elements that abusers that frequent E-Block find the most entertaining. However, mares who are otherwise ideal breeders can be doomed to E-Block if they tick staff off severely, such as by killing an alicorn. Mares are strapped to a multifunctional harness that limits their movements, can retract them to the back wall of their cage, and delivers disciplinary electrical shocks as needed. They are exclusively fed "soylent brown". Interestingly, while an E-Block mare can be shocked, struck, or pillowed for disciplinary purposes by staff, abusers are strictly prohibited from even touching them. Their foals, and whatever psychological damage seeing them tortured to death would inflict on the mares, are free game though provided the abuser manages to win the auction for the opportunity. Worse, even if a mare loses all her foals to an abuser, the mill will have them impregnated again to produce more for future auctions. This cycle continues until a mare enters the "wan die" loop which can take a while as the joys of producing a new litter tends to supersede their grief over losing the last one, if only for a time.
** Stallions that the mill keeps rather than sells or euthanizes are kept in the breeding pens. Living conditions for them are utilitarian but they know nothing else, and can be treated politely by staff, sometimes even establishing rapports with them.
** Mares that prove difficult but still possess excellent lactation and genetics can be maimed into becoming milkbags or immobile breeding stock.
** Foals with poor colors from the outset or with birth defects are "rejected", euthanized, and occasionally sent to D-Block. Though some of the former have been allowed to stay with their mothers in C-Block and above to lessen the emotional anguish a mare feels when workers inevitably have to take away their more marketable children for sale.
** Smarties, regardless of breed, coloration, or age, are killed as soon as possible to prevent their behavior from leaking into the general population.
** Ferals lie somewhere perpendicular to the bottom of the system. The mill won't even take any in unless they get them extremely discounted in bulk, and they'll just incinerate most of them unless they have really good colors like Forty-Nine. If they get through that juncture, they'll be relegated to C-Block by default where they'll face discrimination by the staff under the presumption that they're diseased, not even fit to be ground up into soylent brown for fear of poisoning the filthy elixir. Stores don't want to buy them, and abusers wouldn't waste money on them, since they can potentially just find a feral in the wild for free if they wanted to do something with one.
