Brawn's acquisition of a larger body leads to a wacky sitcom adventure with his roommate Repugnus.

Synopsis

Brawn has finally made enough money from his construction job to restore his original body, and proudly shows it off to his roommate, Repugnus. Though impressed at first, Repugnus accidentally uncovers that the "body" is actually a mech being piloted by the real Brawn, who remains a tiny Headmaster. Brawn explains that he's met a girl, Scylla, who prefers larger men, but could never make enough money to afford a transtector so he settled for a smaller piloted body. When the day comes for his arranged date with Scylla, however, Brawn comes down with a virus and tells Repugnus to go in his stead, using the body to pretend to be him. Repugnus is hesitant, so Brawn reminds his roommate that he owes him, being a freeloader who Brawn has been taking care of ever since he left Beast, but also promises to buy him a body too if things go well.

Repugnus relents and goes on the date with Scylla, but leaves destruction in his wake since he doesn't know how to control the body and keeps blasting and walking into things. Scylla requests he transform and he barely manages thanks to phone contact with Brawn, only for the ruse to be up anyway when Scylla, wanting to ride the car mode, opens the cockpit and finds Repugnus inside. Throwing him out, she takes control of the body herself and barges into Brawn's place, demanding an explanation.

Notes

• The plot of Brawn piloting a mech in his former likeness is taken from the fact his Titans Return Legends class toy is capable of transforming without removing a Titan Master from his vehicle mode cockpit, unlike other Legends class toys of the same line.
• Repugnus ends his sentences with "pug".
• It's noted that Repugnus was evacuated from Beast, where he was stationed after the events of "Rebellion on Planet Beast".
