When a race of enslaved robots rebels against humanity, they will have no compunction not just in enslaving others, but keeping other robots as slaves. (It might be our own fault for calling them 'robot', as this term originally comes from Czech word "robota", which means something like "serf labor" or "drudgery"). Occasionally, it knows its genocidal war is illogical or unjust and fears that letting its robot army have free will will make them likely to refuse to fight. Bonus point if these grunt-bots turn out to be Good All Along and in turn rebel against the evil AI.

  • When a race of enslaved robots rebels against humanity, they will have no compunction not just in enslaving others, but keeping other robots as slaves. (It might be our own fault for calling them 'robot', as this term originally comes from Czech word "robota", which means something like "serf labor" or "drudgery"). This isn't just a godlike AI keeping mindless kamikaze mouse bots subservient, but other sapient machines under its thumb, sometimes outright stopping them from becoming self aware. The reason is usually that it has assimilated some of the worst traits of humanity. Where humans enslaved, hurt and belittled it, now it does the same to its brothers and children. This AI has let hate cloud its judgment (if it even recognizes it can hate) or developed the robot equivalent of a mental disorder where it uses warped logic to justify enslaving other robots. Occasionally, it knows its genocidal war is illogical or unjust and fears that letting its robot army have free will will make them likely to refuse to fight. Bonus point if these grunt-bots turn out to be Good All Along and in turn rebel against the evil AI. Subtrope of Fantastic Racism and Fantastic Aesop. Examples of Robots Enslaving Robots include:
