This story is based off the images made by babybottleneck's art
Part oneThe Mane 6 on conveyer belt
Part two:Villians and background characters on conveyer belt
Part three: The mane 6 and other characters in playarea
Part four: Villians and background characters on the conveyer belt
Part five: Royalty on the conveyer belt
Part six: The Giant conveyer belt
In the first paragraph there are two spelling mistakes instead of Crystal Empire it is Crustal and the work in quite nervous of what will happen Has a Q in it . Outside of that it was a really good chapter
Love the part where Rarity teased Shining Amror for getting his mouth washed out with soap for naughty words, only to do the exact same thing herself. She probably would. I mean, that's her mane the machine was messing with.
I was hoping someone would make a story based on this artwork. It has the potential to carry a lot, with them being so big and having a lot of things happening in them, especially the last one. I'm glad the one that's making it is also one of my favorite writers here. Can't wait to see more!

Thank you for the lovely comment

You know I hope sunset will be in this.
Aw, can't wait to see the other chapters
It's good to see a story behind those pictures
Oh, wow! This was certainly a jovial little jaunt into how the infamous 'Baby Conveyor Belt' works. Putting Shining and Rarity together was downright perfect!
Nurse Redheart seems to have been shown some degree of mercy from these machines. Though her pride as a professional and certified nurse definitely is taking a massive hit.
Each moment has been well timed, never overdone, and only added to the overall effect of, "What will be next?" along with "What will be found at the end?".
Lastly, given the first poster, did starlight fall victim of her own diabolical plan?
I love this chapter, and not just because I'm so partial to Derpy, although that is a factor. It just seems so like her to just go along with all of it. It also makes her a good contrast to Rainbow Dash, who is actively resisting. The machines are a lot easier on her for being cooperative, which is a nice touch. Also, she doesn't get in trouble for causing accidental damage, so the robots are advanced enough to understand intent. I think Derpy has the right idea here. Just relax and enjoy the nursery and pampering. Rainbow Dash, on the other hoof, is going to be having a lot of punishments waiting for her if she keeps this up.
<LoL!> This was epic! Another perfect pairing with Derpy and dashie. Dr. Hooves certainly did his part, too, in adding to RD's displeasure. It was like this whole chapter was all-in to push Dash to her limits of patience. Without the arms and robo nannies, I fear Derpy would've been the star of a new show that starred Rainbow Dash entitled, "Friendship Is Violent". <LoL!>
The lines exchanged between Dash and Derp were perfect. I really liked how Rainbow made note on how Mrs. Hooves was a natural in destroying things. <LoL!>
Lastly, seeing Derpy in a bowl haircut was just too much! She now is all-in as 'Dorky Derpy'. (This coming from someone who rocked the mullet for longer than it was in-style back in the day)
I wish I could see the pictures. However the story is certainly enough to make for bringing someone, like myself, into enjoying the conveyor belt troupe. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This story, to me, makes it work beautifully. Though, I should not be surprised given the writing team behind it. :)
Which ponies are going to be next?
I’m hoping we get to see spike the dragons reaction soon
I wonder how Princess Cadance will react to the machine?
I bet Twilight and Trixie will be able to get out of the nursery.
Twilight is going the right way for more punishments, but with all that's going on between her, Trixie, and Starlight, I have no idea who would be next out of them. Starlight will probably be putting every effort into getting them in trouble, but can she succeed, and how much? This is getting to be a better read after each chapter.
I foresee Starlight attempting to forge alliances with other babies to try and get big pony privileges.
It seems like it's easier than one might think to outsmart the nursery.
I'm sure they can think of something to escape, unless the nursery starts regressing their minds so much that they start thinking more like actual foals. Also, Big Mac throwing a tantrum like a foal? I bet AJ wishes she could record that and see it whenever she wanted.
Could you do the princesses some time?
I sure hope Twilight Sparkle helps her friends.
10247187 If she remembers anything to help them.

I see.
It could have been worse, Doctor. You could have been boxed.
10261550 Boxed?
10262091
put in a box like you see dolls in stores in. the type that has a clear plastic front.
I wonder who's next?
So if Twilight's now with Pinkie Pie, what happened to Trixie? Did the two get separated at some point?
<LoL!> I love the 'password'! That was wonderful!
Uh, oh! It would appear they did a kind of 'regression method' on Cheerilee to have her not know how to do her 'ABCs'. Though the other fillies and colts seem to be having their brains turned to mush as gooey as Flurry Heart's mashed peas. :)
The writing of AJ was perfect! Even her last statement on, "And now we ain't learnin' anythin'.". Imagining Big Mac in a full-on tantrum is definitely silly and scary, too. I'll take being hit with his pamps over his hooves. Heck, if I was there, I'd run right for his pamps to get knocked away so I didn't get a massive buck to the face. *Cringes* Ouch!
h, golly! Pinkie certainly continues to have her 'gift' for being able to do what no other pony, or creature, can do. Knowing how she never intended to escape, but was opening all the doors flawlessly, was so, well, Pinkie Pie.
Poor Dr. Whooves. Now he'll never get that muffin to Derpy. For lovable Ditzy Do, I don't think she'd mind tasting a muffin twice. Bile is vile, but she'd only taste muffin. :)
I wonder how much food does get unprocessed by Pinkie? Her energy makes for, my guess, a metabolism that seldom, if ever, makes waste of all the sugary treats she gobbles up. :)
Goodness! Pinkie always has a way of making bad things seem like good times. You might even think she is genuinely enjoying the backfired efforts of Starlight Glimmer?
<LoL!> Loved the feeding scene with Rainbow. All the efforts to get RD to eat her 'nom-noms' seemed to eventually wear her down and foal her up. :)
And, yes! Go, Derpy! You show em' what a 'spit up' champ you are! <LoL!>

I think I just lost track of who was with whom. Oops
What is this? The Ember Island Players?
*Applause* What an adorable play! It worked out very well and did great in showing how powerful just having fun with your imagination can be. Yay, Cheerilee!
Fluttershy makes an interesting variant for the story. She, Derpy, and Cheerilee all seem to not mind their current situation. Cheerilee and Derpy may not be of too much consequence, but Fluttershy would definitely make things difficult if there was a need for all 'The Elements' to work together to save the day. Wanting to be safe and loved all by herself could be easily countered by Twilight and pals. However Derpy and Cheerilee interrupting her desire to be 'normal' again may make it more challenging.
It shall be interesting to see what happens next. Also, given this is an alternate path for Starlight's revenge, I wonder if she'll 'reform' after this situation of her creation is remedied?
What will happen next?
It could be worse. Dr. Whooves could've messed his pampers with the plan inside.
I hope this story will come to an end.
<LoL!> Thanks our Pinkie Pie! If it isn't in her mane, she can make anything come out of just about anywhere. It only need be touched by her hooves and offer a hint of 'hiding' to become reality.
I wonder if Dr. Hooves may feel quite fascinated by what The Element Of Laughter can do? Maybe she can help him finally get that 'Time Turner' thing working? Downside is that, no doubt, all his extra fireless fireworks would be blowing up like crazy from all the happy and loving energy of having Pinkie and Derpy around.
How to stop bad robots:
1) Turn them off.
2) If you cannot do 1, use an EMP to short them out.
2a) An EMP is an electromagnetic pulse. These are caused naturally by lightning bolts.
3) If the robots are immune to 2, blow them up.
4) If you lack the explosives to blow them up, bash them into tiny bits.
5) If you have still not stopped the robots, call for The Doctor.
5a) If The Doctor is there and has not been able to stop the robots, then you are doomed. Sorry.
I was actually hopping to see Spikes situation in the nursery, before they stoped them.
Looks like Starlight's plan backfired, now she's a victim of the nursery too.
I hope Pinkie's plan will work.
Discord: Now this is just getting ridiculous.
Disqord: I quite agree. Making Celestia think she is a foal again? That means she has almost no control on her magic. She could let off a solar flare any moment.
Discord: Aren't those bad?
Disqord: Oh yes. Especially for electronics. Utterly destroys them.
She knows. The Head Nanny knows they're not babies, but she doesn't care. She's still going to treat them as such. After all, why the enchantments to shrink their bladders and bowels, why use hypnosis to make them act younger? On a related note, seeing Celestia get hypnotized into thinking she's three so quickly with Luna confirming she wanted to be young again is very believable, since hypnosis works better when the subject is more willing to the suggestions.
I hope the other ponies will be here to stop the robots.
I never imagined the extent of how Starlight's operation had come to work. It's definitely going to be all the more difficult to get away, let alone defeat, the robo nannies if their parents are all hypnotized in believing their grown children, or at least grown enough to be out of diapers, are all genuinely seen as foals by their elders.
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I still hope you'll use spankings again as a lot of stories feel like they would have them if you allowed yourself to.
I know you went too far with it in Royal Guards in training but that mainly was Celestia seeming too eager to punish them. Throwing around threats when there was little reason to.
Not only do you not have to go that far but here it's a robot so it being excessively cruel is not OOC like with Celestia. A machine thinks purely logically. So "Foal breaks rules"="spanking+timeout" is not unnatural or anything like that.
Twilight thinks all is going according to plan. Little does she know that Cheerilee is a double agent. Sabotage feels inevitable at this point.
I'm glad Spike got his own chapter
Slight grammar and spelling errors, but regardless, funny and cute too.
