'''Springer comes to the Legends World for lipo.'''

==Synopsis==
===Part 1===
[[Springer (G1)|Springer]] introduces himself, explaining that in [[2005]] before the [[Unicron War]], he was the leader of the [[Wreckers]], fighting alongside the [[Whirl (G1)#Legends World|Whirl]] and [[Roadbuster (G1)#Legends World|Roadbuster]] from [[Legends World|another world]]. Afterwards, he wished to live happily with his love, [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]], but things didn't work out that way and he was left alone. By the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (franchise)#Transformers: G-2|G2]] era during the 2030s, he has taken to comfort eating and Whirl and Roadbuster note that he's getting fat, with Whirl joking that his neglect for his appearance is the reason Arcee dumped him. This hits too close to home for Springer, leaving him disheartened (despite Roadbuster's attempts to cheer him up by having tell the story about how [[Nightmare Planet|he saved a princess in a dream]]), and he vows to turn his life back around.

===Part 2===
Whirl and Roadbuster tell Springer that in the Legends World they came from, he can get a cool new body, and an excited Springer promptly contacts [[Alpha Trion]] and has him open a portal. On arrival, the three have [[Rhinox (BW)#Legends World|Rhinox]], creator of Whirl and Roadbuster, rebuild Springer's body into a handsome new form. As he expresses confidence that he can now win back Arcee's heart, he is interrupted by an arrow with a message on it—a message that says "I love you", signed by [[Nightbird (G1)|Nightbird]]! Spotting Nightbird, [[Slipstream (Animated)|Slipstream]], and [[Blackarachnia (BW)#Legends World|Blackarachnia]] swooning over his new body, he realizes it's finally his time to be popular.
