Crib Watch
From Transformers Wiki
- Crib Watch is a member of the Goo-Goo Groopies from BotBots.
As a baby monitor, Crib Watch is basically designed to watch over infants. However, it seems the job gives Crib Watch very little time to themself. They've become incredibly paranoid after all of this time, making sure the little tikes are safe and aren't crying and don't have stinky diapers. What this overworked bot needs the most is a long nap.
Babies are tough, man.

Notes
- Crib Watch is the "example" character used for the "2 MODES" demonstration illustration on the Goo-Goo Groopies' packaging.
- Crib Watch's English-language bio on the Hasbro website lacks gender pronouns.[1] Thus, so does this article. Other languages on the website do use male adjectives on their translations, but that may be out of necessity rather than reflecting the original intent for the character.
- Their baby monitor mode has an Autobot insignia on its screen. Given the Autobot and Decepticon faction symbols appear on some other BotBots' product modes, this is more than likely just in-universe marketing, not actual faction affiliation.
- Also on the screen in baby monitor mode are the numbers 19:84. This is a nod to the year 1984 when the original Transformers series debuted.
