Nanny: Hmmm, kids these days! Well, let's play a game. How about follow the leader?
All: Yeah!!!!
Starscream: Can I be the leader, Nanny?
Nanny: Not this time Screamy, I have an idea.
Starscream: Darn, I never get to be the leader!
Okay a few notes: This is meant to be funny, silly and illogical. Stupid? sure, why not, life is too short to take anything seriously. Have fun reading.

Transformers Babies is a humorous crossover fanfic by Crazomatic, combining the elements of The Transformers with Muppet Babies (1984). But instead of having the Transformers meet the Muppet Babies, the Transformers themselves are the babies, and the only character imported from Muppet Babies is Nanny.
The first in what ended up being a trilogy. Subsequent stories include Meggy's Glorious Destiny! and Meggy's Nursery Conquest!
This fanfic contains examples of the following:
- Affectionate Parody: Of Transformers as a whole
- I Just Want to Be Special: Baby Starscream, as a nod to his constant scheming to take over the Decepticons in canon
- Mister Seahorse: Kup claims to have given birth. This is Played for Laughs.
- Professional Buttkisser: Baby Soundwave, parodying his Undying Loyalty to Megatron
- Running Gag: Meggie always wanting to be the Leader.
- Shout-Out: Dozens of foreshadowing references to events from The Transformers: The Movie that are Hilarious in Hindsight.
