Springer is a chick magnet, and Tigatron hates it.
Synopsis
Springer introduces himself as a character who used to be all about being macho, but after reworking himself to be more with the times, he's found to his delight that he's extremely popular with the ladies of the Legends World. Jealous that the newcomer is taking all "his" girls, Tigatron nabs Alpha Trion's ultra-drill and opens a portal to summon new girls who will like him better—the Kiss Players! Unfortunately for the perverted cat, the girls quickly lose interest in him when they see Springer transform into his cool car mode. Not one to give up, Tigatron uses the drill again to bring forth a variety of human (and human-like) women from all across the multiverse, but each and every one end up being more impressed by Springer's Triple Changer abilities.
Arcee then arrives on the scene, shocking Springer who tries to explain why he's surrounded by other women, though Rattrap informs him that "Aunt Arcee" is not the same Arcee he knows from his home universe. Thinking back to how he was once close to his Arcee and how they drifted apart over time, Springer steels himself to try again with this other Arcee and asks her out, only to be turned down on the spot. Dejected, he runs crying back through a portal to his own universe.

Notes
Continuity notes
- Ringo wears bandages because she was implied to have been killed or seriously injured by Atari in her final appearance in the Kiss Players radio drama.
- Ai is drawn transparent to indicate that she's the original holographic Ai, not the flesh-and-blood Legends World native who usually appears in these comics.
- The four humans in panel 10 are all mothers of kid characters from various shows (in Mega's case, surrogate mother).
- When Springer reminisces about falling out of touch with Arcee, he remembers her fighting alongside Ultra Magnus while wielding Galvatron's cannon, from "The Dweller in the Depths". Arcee leaving Springer behind to be with Fortress is a reference to her becoming a recurring character in The Headmasters, hanging out with the Headmasters while Springer barely appeared in that show at all.
