* There's the fate of the workers in the Cobra mechanical sea serpent in one episode. They are supervised by robots and AI, who run them like machinery. Any slowing of pace is punished with [[ElectricTorture cattle prods]], and workers may rest only at irregular intervals when the computer commands it. Nothing is said about eating. The implication is that this is a ''death camp'', where workers are simply used up and replaced. When the Joes arrive, the inmates are rather traumatized, obviously.
** Even worse, anyone who refuses a direct command from said AI is drug off to ... somewhere... by hybrid techno-organic ''tentacles''.

* "Bazooka Saw a Sea Serpent" was another one. A giant robotic sea monster with flat-yellow glowing eyes that eats ships and turns their mass into more girth, so it keeps getting larger. The appearance was scary enough, but then you see that the humans "eaten" by the monster get turned into slaves that are worked so hard that they collapse in a dead sleep in the brief moments that ever-vigilant shock-prod tentacles let them have a "coffee break". And then an attempt to stop the thing fails and it turns from a Cobra-controlled monster into an uncontrolled monster, some laser-eyed Franchise/{{Godzilla}} serpent that wants to eat EVERYTHING, just a blind malicious hunger in the shape of a giant robotic snake.
