Nope, they don't need to warm up. Just start it, let it run for say, 15 seconds for the oil to circulate, and take off gently. Just don't mash on it until the cool light turns off.

By "mash" I mean stomping on the gas peddle. Warming up by idling is not good. It increases the amount of time it takes for the engine to warm up, which in turn, may cause some damage (I don't think it will, but better safe than sorry).
