Rubble was taken to a factory full of robots, doing the lowest level of work, with no creativity involved.
He didn't like it.
Grandpa Wadden said he was the smartest and would continue the legacy of the Mechanical Clan, Rubble shouldn't be here.
The main issue is that Rubble couldn't handle it; he's a mental laborer, not suited for any physical work.
The Mechanical Clan who came together with Rubble are in a similar situation, and soon the first member couldn't hold on and directly went on strike.
Rubble witnessed with his own eyes a large mechanical arm spinning over from the corner of the workshop, its giant claw grabbing the Mechanical Clan comrade sitting on the ground, ignoring his screams, and taking him away.
Beside them was a transparent glass wall; everyone from the Mechanical Clan watched as their comrade was thrown into a shredder, shattered, and became a pile of scrap iron.
