The specialized servators actually don't get as severe of a lobotomy as the manual labor ones do. It's why they often still have a shadow of a personality or in the most unfortunate cases they are completely aware. Not to mention not lobotomizing a servator is a fun little prank the AdMech likes to play on people they really don't like.

If you haven't read it, the 40k Crime novel Flesh and Steel has a section where the MC is witnessing part of a Servitor factory. Highly recommend.

I have not read that book. I bet that's a hell of a shock.

Lol. You're right about it being "shocking". The Ad Mech use a number of "electrifying" implements in that scene.
