モルゲッソヨ (morgethsoyo) silver statues phenomena from 2018 Winter Olympics. Many niche artists portray the statues converting female characters (mostly from Touhou series) into more statues and so on.

Warframe : Orokin's army consists of "corrupted" mooks from other factions.

Warhammer has the Skaven "dreaded 13th Spell" that converts enemies into ratmen mooks. Also the chaos god(ess), Slannesh, converts mortals into daemonette mooks.
Here's a humour sequence with a Skaven wizard using the 13th Spell, normally it would turn a lot of the enemy troops into loyal Skaven soldiers, but it doesn't work quite the right way here due to an opposing wizard messing up the casting; https://www.deviantart.com/eduartbou...ge-1-463755122

The Puppet Masters (1994), a cult-classic alien parasite invasion movie featuring back-of-the-neck-hugging aliens that completely controls people and use them to spread more parasites.
Archie's Weird Mysteries episode 31-33 has Nosferatu-like vampire that attempted to make and spread vampiric thralls. Spoiler alert: It's an overwhelming success in the last episode, at least for a while.
Ben 10 Omniverse S05E01 has virulent clowning alien disease that spread via bite. The twist is that as the infected become clowns, their teeth turn into toy dentures that can be used as contagious ammunition, with effects similar to that one episode of Dexter's Laboratory.

I thought of the latter two since @prsap19 mentioned the Lion Men episode of Mega Man. It reminds me of the website http://shadowlordinc.com/ that may literally contains ALL transformation scenes in motion-picture media ever existed, which is where I found many of the clips, mostly western cartoons. I did combed through it once, but I'll probably do it again, this time with a more open-minded mindset so that I don't miss anything.

Let me add some examples from old-school spy-esque movies:

Attack of the Robots - a movie by Jesus Franco. People being turned into obedient "human robots" is the main plotline! It has some scenes with female "robots", as well as a short transformation sequence. Unfortunately, the male female character is saved from being transformed :(

Target for Killing - the villainous organization in this movie uses women brainwashed into mindlessness as staff at their base. Unfortunately, we only get to see a few shots of these women - but there's a bit when a failed agent of the organization is taken for brainwashing and, later on, we see her walking robotically and with a blank face.

Kiss Kiss Kill Kill - another villainous organization that uses an army of mind-controlled female mooks. Many good shots of these women! There's also a moment where a female character is nearly turned into one. She is saved, but she does some feinting later on - so, we get to see her walking around blank-faced.

Aside from these, there is something weirder, meaning...

Danger 5 - in the Kill-Men of the Rising Sun episode, people get turned into (very retro-looking) robot soldiers serving Imperial Japan. Two of the protagonists get turned into these, too - including a female one!

Darkseid, from DC Comics, is sometimes shown to recruit his parademon troops from regular people;
Justice League movie https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...20180217124911
Justice league: War cartoon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KuPwL9lBHo
Wonder Woman comic, amazons parademoned; https://static2.cbrimages.com/wp-con...=1203&fit=crop https://www.cbr.com/wonder-woman-ama...id-parademons/

Dark Nights: Metal. Aquaman faces a bunch of mooks including his beloved Mera https://pm1.narvii.com/6623/8036f684...438c470_hq.jpg

Doctor Who has more mook conversions than that, I think...

The Daleks are also known to attempt to convert humans into mooks. In the classic series, this was typically imprisoning someone inside of Dalek armor and then letting an extreme body-morph effect take over. In the new series, there is apparently some kind of Dalek mook virus that silently takes people over. You can only tell that people are infected with the virus when Dalek eyestalks burst out of their foreheads. On the other hand, the lifetime of a Dalek after a mook conversion is typically low since they tend to get exterminated by traditional Daleks.
The new series episode The End of Time had The Master using a body modification device to convert the entire population of planet Earth into clones of the Master.

One that comes to mind is an episode from the old Captain N series (based around NES characters) connected to the old NES Paperboy game:

https://youtu.be/0E2Ki4zo6mw?t=899

Basically Mother Brain (the villain in the show) somehow has basically mind control ink that she can use to control people (usually by writing a hidden "Mother Brain is my master" message in the special ink. Over a couple minutes her minions (pretty easily) trick most of Captain N's team into reading messages and becoming mind controlled.
