Plot
Season One
Maxwell "Max" McGrath is thrown into a new life after moving with his mother to the small city
of Copper Canyon. There he meets new friends, bullies, and super-villains hunting him down for
a power inside him called TURBO energy. Max must now join N-TEK, a secret organization his
late father Jim McGrath started, to defeat Trans-Human Industries from taking over the world
with their sinister leader Miles Dredd and his evil Elementors. Max's powers are hidden from the
public and regulated with the aid of his friend Steel, who is a project of his father known as an
Ultra-Link (later revealed to be an alien species), to prevent his powers from going critical.
During battle, Steel transforms into Max's multiple armors for whatever terrain battle is present.
Along the way, with the aid of N-TEK led by Max's uncle Ferrus, both will uncover the mystery
behind Steel's past, find out what really happened to Max's father, Jim McGrath and uncover the
dark secrets of N-TEK. Until they witnessed the Makino Invasion.
Season Two
As Max & Steel discover the truth about their past, they must face a new adversary: Makino and
his Ultralinks, also the old ones; like Miles Dredd, Jason Naught, Elementors, Toxzon, and
Extroyer. As they gain new TURBO modes, and new ally: Ven-Ghan, the Ultralink Hunter, the
origin of Max & Steel will be revealed, and will Sydney & Kirby learn Max Steel's true identity?
and what secret that Forge Ferrus is trying to hide?
Characters
Main Characters
Maxwell "Max" McGrath/Max Steel (voiced by Andrew Francis): A Tachyon-Human Hybrid, he
is later taken to N-Tek, and then he discovers that his uncle, Forge Ferrus, who is the
commander and co-Founder of N-Tek, along with Jim McGrath and Miles Dredd. Max later
meets Steel, an Ultralink that will change Max's life and will later turn Max into the world's
greatest and powerful hero in the world known as Max Steel. Maxwell and Steel don't know a
lot about their past and also they don't know about N-Tek, also N-Tek's true mission that Forge
Ferrus is hiding from Max and Steel. Max has a friend named Kirby and has a crush on a girl
named Sydney. Max wears a camouflage mode, so no one can see him with the Turbo Base
Mode on (Which won't take off because it is permanently on Max) and he doesn't wants to no
to know that he is Max Steel. He is able to generate Tachyon Unlimited Radiant Bio-Optimized
(or TURBO) energy, and control it with the help of Steel, thereby creating the persona of Max
Steel. As Max Steel, Max has enhanced powers and a cadre of TURBO Modes for different
combat scenarios including; Base, Strength, Camo, Flight, Scuba, Super, Speed, Stealth, Cannon,
Clone, Mimic, Heat, Rocket, etc.
N'Baro Atksteel X377/Steel (voiced by Samuel Vincent): An alien made only of technology,
known as an Ultra-Link. He is only able to function by being charged from TURBO Energy, and
along with Max acts as the armor persona Max Steel. Steel's memory core was damaged so
many select memories of his time on Earth 16 years before the series are hazy, and battles with
the Elementors insinuate that he had a connection to them. His full designation is "N'Baro
Atksteel X377". Years ago he used to serve Makino, until meeting Jim McGrath on Tachyon. The
two became the first Max Steel to fend off the first Makino Invasion.
Allies
Commander Forge Ferrus (voiced by Michael Dobson): An N-Tek commander, and a mentor to
Max, his nephew. It seems that Forge and the rest of N-Tek are hiding a dark secret from Max
Steel since Thrill of the Hunt, when they tried to acquire a damaged Ultra-Link from an Alien
Spaceship and gave no answers to Max about why he wanted it. He has a robotic left arm,
having lost his real one in a battle.
Molly McGrath (voiced by Nicole Oliver): The secretive mother of Max.
[3]
She is shown in the
premiere as an amazing ninja spy when infiltrating THI and during the battle to raid some
evidence that can expose their criminal empire. She becomes the new CEO of THI when Mr.

Admirer, Toxzon turns her into a toxic monster with all his powers called Toxiona, until she was
reverted to her original form.
Sydney Gardner (voiced by Sarah Edmondson): A know-how girl who meets Max. Max instantly
develops a crush on her.
[4]
In The Truth Hurts, she finally learns Max's identity as Max Steel.

Kirby Kowalski (voiced by Richard Ian Cox): Max's best friend, who is loyal but incredibly gullible
and laid back.
Roberto "Berto" Martinez (voiced by Samuel Vincent): A friend of Max and Steel. He is one of
the most intelligent scientific geniuses at N-Tek.

continuously being upgraded by him. His name stands for Cybernetic Tactical Robot
Operative.
[6]

Black Star Council: The Black Star Council have been around for an undetermined amount of
time and are a group of aliens that have survived attacks from Makino's soldiers and have united
to defend others from them and make them pay for their crimes.
o Ven-Ghan (voiced by Giles Panton): He is an Ultralink Hunter working for the Black Star
Council who wants revenge from the Evil Ultralinks and Makino, because they destroyed
his planet. Also, he is after Steel and is not leaving without him. But in The Ultralink
Hunter, after seeing Steel risk his life to save him, he begin to see Max Steel as an ally,
and in the end of Makino Strikes: Part 2, he decide to stop hunting Steel and presumably
became Max Steel's field partner.
Villains
Miles Dredd (voiced by Mark Oliver): The former owner of Trans Human Industries. Prior to the
series, Miles was one of the co-founders of N-Tek, but he turned on the agency when he chose
to steal TURBO Energy for his own gain, in order to make way for the Ultralink Invasion and
subjugate Earth.
[4]

Jason Naught (voiced by Brian Dobson): Dredd's right hand man, and was also former
CEO of Trans Human Industries. Dredd equipped him with an ability to transform into a
giant robot to defeat his enemies like Max Steel. He has been shown to have his own
ambitions other than Dredd's, and is often abused because of it. In X Marks the Spot, he
was almost killed by Dredd for betraying him a second time.
[9]

Axel (voiced by Michael Daingerfield): A thug hired by Jason Naught to do his dirty work.
Dreddnaughts: An army of robots that work for Miles Dredd. They don't talk, but they

Dreddnaughts.
Makino (voiced by Michael Dobson): Makino is an alien cybernetic being that has a Ultra-Link
bonded to him, but it is permanent. He is the leader of the Ultra-Links and ruler of the planet
Makino. In Season 1 Earth Under Siege, Makino is allies with Miles Dredd, Ultimate Elementor,
and Jason Naught. Makino wants to devour Earth and possibly convert it into his second home
planet, but he must first destroy mankind and Max Steel with an Invasion of Ultra-Links, which
will take place in Season 2.
Evil Ultralinks: A special forces unit Makino has place under the command of Miles
Dredd.
Blast Link (voiced by Brian Drummond): The sniper of the unit, ultra-linked with a THI
plasma cannon giving it a powerful distance weapon.
Prism Link (voiced by Lee Tockar): The close quarters combatant of the unit, ultra-linked
to a series of crystals he is a durable, agile and razor-sharp fighter.
Chomp Link (voiced by Sam Vincent): The brawn of the unit, ultra-linked with a venus
flytrap he is equipped with long vines and crushing jaws.
Plaztek (voiced by Andrew Francis): AN Ultralink that bonded with Fishy and some of
Toxzon's orange waste to become a large fish-like creature composed of super dense
and strong plastic. Able to fire plastic fish with large teeth for trapping opponents, toxic
goo, plastic explosives, and is a versatile shape-shiftier. As a result of the glitchy
connection between Fishy and the Ultralink Plaztek has a highly unstable personality
and speech pattern that sounds like a corrupted sound-file. Appears to be destroyed at
the end of Toxic Relationship.
Avatak (voiced by Richard Ian Cox): A Megalink that bonded with a video game console
because of Toxzon in the episode "Digital Meltdown". He has the ability to shoot
fireballs, he can also shoot a powerful laser from his chest, he can also hack into games
on the type of video game console he bonded with.
Elementors (Fire and Air, voiced by Andrew Francis; Earth and Water, voiced by Brian
Drummond; Metal voiced by Trevor Devall): The Elementors are Ultralinks that each manifested
a body from the elements. Originally, there were a group of four Elementors based around the
four elements that were sent to Earth to aid Dredd for their own agenda. The first three, Fire
Elementor, Earth Elementor, and Water Elementor, were eventually captured by N-Tech. But
during an attempted rescue by Air Elementor in Elements of Surprise, due to an accident with an
inhibitor mounted on his head, the four Elementors' bodies ended up being fused into a single
4-cored creature that uses all their powers and combine them to produce ice and lightning:
Ultimate Elementor. Though the four personalities conflicted at first, they eventually put aside
their squabbles for their mutual hatred towards Max Steel. In season two, a Mega-link
Elementor named Metal Elementor is introduced in Full Metal Racket. In Ultralink Hunter, Metal
Elementor sets Ultimate Elementor up by giving 24 hours to catch Max Steel. After Ultimate
Elementor is defeated after managing to catch Steel and Ven-Ghan, Metal Elementor reveals his
ruse and absorbs Ultimate Elementor to become the 5-cored Mega Elementor.
Dr. Tytus Octavius Xander/Toxzon (voiced by Andrew Francis): Formerly a THI scientist, he was
mutated after a lab accident with deadly chemicals, transforming him into the mutant villain,
Toxzon. He can absorb pollutants and uses them as weapons and can generate venomous
monsters. He can also transform into multiple forms by absorbing new poisons and toxins in
different color: Main Mode Toxzon (green), neutralized (blue), acid (orange), toxic bacteria
(purple), radiation (yellow), hypnosis serum (lavender), mysterious orange toxin and flaming fuel
(black).
Fishy (voiced by Andrew Francis): Toxzon's beloved pet plastic goldfish. Xander
hallucinates that Fishy talks to him, apparently giving him advice and suggestions. In
Season 2 Toxic Relationship, he was accidentally bonded with an Ultralink and turned ito
Plaztek, but subsequently meets his end in the hands of Max Steel thanks to his TURBO
Drill.
Troy Winter/Extroyer (voiced by Brian Drummond): A professional criminal named Troy Winter
who after being accidentally bonded with a damaged Ultra-Link, he became a beastly creation
who can morph into any animal just by scanning it with his eyes. His left arm is more fearsome
than his right and is used to destroy others in battle. He can so far transform into anything he
sees, but he can absorb D.N.A. of dead life-forms and become the extinct beings. His primal
transformations are these beasts: his pet black tiger, a spider, a shark, a black cobra, a gorilla, a
Tyrannosaurus Rex, a wasp, a Scorpion and an ultralinked electrical centipede alien. If he has a
second Ultra-Link in his body, he can transform into a chimeric monster.
Dwayne (voiced by Brian Dobson): One of Extroyer's henchmen. Dwayne is smarter and
acts like a boss for Vin. He hated Winter a lot since in Thrill of the Hunt, he tried to feed
them to his pet black tiger.
Vin (voiced by Michael Dobson): Another of Extroyer's henchmen who is thin, and
sometimes clumsy and dumb. He hates anchovies, as mentioned in Driven. He is a little
bit scared at times and he would sometimes be brave.
Murukami: He was a ninja in Ancient Japan who seeks his mission, to conquer the world.
Murukami was imprisoned in a magic sword by a sorcerer who warned that if anyone ever
gripped the sword, he would be released and would wreak havoc on the earth. Murukami's
spirit possessed Kirby when he held the sword that a shop vendor and descendant of the
sorcerer hid his backpack. Max and Steel were able to use the Turbo Sword to break the magic
sword and freed Kirby from Murukami.
Colonel Jasper F. Castle (voiced by Lee Tockar): A former colonel in the US Army, he and his
men's loyalties were bought by Miles Dredd. Using them, Dredd lured Max into a trap. Luckily, a
traitorous member who was new to them called N-Tek and together they defeated and
apprehended Castle and his men and chased Dredd off.
Other Characters
Jaem Mkrah/James "Jim" McGrath (voiced by Trevor Devall): Max's father who is one of the
founders of N-Tek and later revealed to be an alien being from Planet Tachyon. Jim McGrath
was the best in N-Tek, and also very smart and wise. He was Forge Ferrus' science officer and he
was the one who discovered T.U.R.B.O Energy, a blue and powerful energy. He died when
testing the Turbo Star, creating an explosion. Jim McGrath has a holographic monument of
himself, and under it was the case what Steel is since he was the alien Ultra-Link that was used
in the experiment. In Earth Under Siege Part 2 it was discovered that Jim was the first person
that Ultra-Linked with Steel before Max did. In The Legend of Jaem Mkrah Jim and Steel first
met on Tachyon when the planet was invaded by Makino & his Ultralinks. It's revealed that
Tachyons can also produce T.U.R.B.O. energy.
Bartholomew "Butch" (voiced by Brian Drummond): The school bully who torments Max.
Bartholomew also has two sidekicks.
Dr. Thornhill (voiced by Michael Dobson): He is one of Max's teachers at Copper Canyon High
School.
Mr. Jones (voiced by Michael Dobson): He was the old man who checked Max's driver's test.
Klean Kal (voiced by Scott McNeil): He was the man in Driven, who was the one who was selling
used cars to Kirby and Max.
Vendor (voiced by Vincent Tong): He was the old man who was selling old things, and he had
the sword of Murukami.
Commander Parker (voiced by Vincent Tong): Originally a member of Colonel Castle's army in
the first season episode Uncle Sam Wants You! until Castle's alliance with Miles Dredd was
exposed. It was revealed in the second season episode Deep Turbo Blue Sea that he joined N-Tek
after Colonel Castle was arrested.
T.J. (voiced by Kathleen Barr): A female artificial intelligence with the Turbo Jet, whom Steel has
a crush on.
Jimmy Blaze (voiced by Sam Vincent):
Dean (voiced by Lee Tockar):
Jake (voiced by Giles Panton):
N-Tek/Turbo Arsenal
TURBO Modes: When Steel is linked to the suit, it can transform into other TURBO Modes. It
contains Maxs TURBO Energy so he wont explode and cannot be removed.
o Base: In Base Mode, Max Steel wears a suit made of techno-organic plate-like layers
that help to stabilize and focus Turbo Energy. It amplifies TURBO Energy, enhances
senses and fighting capabilities.
o Strength: In Strength Mode, Max Steel is larger, stronger and much more powerful.
Giving him maximum strength in combat, he is able to lift over 200 tons. Though the
armor increases power and defense, it decreases durability. It is also capable of
withstanding a nuclear blast. Max Steel first used TURBO Strength Mode against Fire
Elementor. This is the third and final mode accessed by Steel using Mimic Mode.
o Flight: In Flight Mode, Max Steel can rocket through the atmosphere with control and
maneuverability. With increase in penetration and scope, he is able to reach altitudes
beyond the stratosphere, though, limits the drag and increases lift. Max Steel first used
TURBO Flight Mode while fighting Earth Elementor. In Season 2, somehow the Flight
Mode looks slightly different in design.
o Scuba: In Scuba Mode, Max Steel can maneuver underwater like an aquatic being. Being
in this form, he is able to breathe underwater and swim with agility and grace. It lacks in
power and speed, but it gets the job done. It was used in "Hard Water" when Max Steel
fought Water Elementor after he had captured humans to power his Starship and go
home. This mode was rarely used by Max Steel as it was only used for water themed
mission.
o Speed: In Speed Mode, Max Steel can run at incredible velocity. Moving at super-sonic
speed (going up to 100,000 mph), it causes extremely high levels of aerodynamic
efficiency. It minimizes delay and maximizes intervention time. Max Steel used Speed
Mode to fight Elementor. In Season 2, somehow Speed Mode has been added green
stripes to it.
o Stealth: In Stealth Mode, Max Steel can move in the shadows with ease. With the suit in
dark colors, he is able to turn invisible and is unseen to the naked eye. He has increase
in agility, speed and a satisfactory in power.
o Cannon: In Cannon Mode, Max Steel is very large and sturdy like Strength Mode, but
more armored. When charged with enough TURBO Energy, he can fire himself at
enemies like a cannonball, doing extreme amounts of damage, then it wastes a vast
amount of TURBO Energy as a result, this also the second mode accessed by Steel using
Mimic Mode.
o Clone: In Clone Mode, Max Steel can generate unlimited number of clones to
outnumber enemies, confuse and take them down. Also can be used in combination
with other modes to swarm and overwhelm his enemies.
o Mimic: This mode allows Steel to mimic some of Max's TURBO Modes, but overusing it
makes them unable to change to another mode. So far, Steel has mimicked Super,
Cannon, and Strength. This is also Steel's first TURBO mode.
o Camo: This mode allows Max to blend in with civilians and protect his secret identity as
Max Steel.
o Super: This TURBO Mode resembles a superhero costume, which Max finds too
ridiculous, even though Steel loves it. This was the first mode accessed by Steel using
Mimic Mode.
o Heat: In Heat Mode, Max Steel is able to generate fire through his arm-mounted
blasters. Those flaming blasts are so intense that Max was able to melt Metal
Elementor, but at the cost of large amounts of TURBO energy, thus he is not able to
maintain it for long.
[10]

o Rocket: A powerful mode with four TURBO blasters that gives Max Steel orbital
propulsion and wide firing range. Max was able to unlock Rocket Mode via a special
code his father told him, making himself able to stand his ground even against the
unstoppable Makino, but requires a lot of T.U.R.B.O. energy.
[11]

o Spike: An agile, ninja-like mode equipped with turbo charged energy blades and
telescoping spike-whips.
[12]

N-Tek carries a vast amount of weaponry and vehicles that runs on TURBO Energy, being at the
disposal of the N-Tek agents and Max Steel.
Turbo-Rang: As a primary weapon for Max Steel, Steel after being fully charged with TURBO
Energy, acts as a boomerang, although Steel ends up being dizzy.
Turbo Blaster: The ultimate long-range weapon developed by Steel and Berto to deliver
powerful bursts of TURBO Energy, which can only be operated by Max Steel. It has specialized
functionality for TURBO Energy propulsion and fires at a range of 150 yards. After Steel links up
with the Turbo Blaster, it's literally TURBOFied in its long-range. Max Steel used the TURBO
Blaster to defeat Air Elementor by hitting his Orb.
Turbo Sword: The perfect weapon for close-up fighting or when up against robots. The blade is
made of pure TURBO Energy capable of slicing through heavy metal. When Steel is linked with it,
he transforms the sword making it TURBOFied.
Turbo Lash: A TURBO-powered whip that can ensnare and shock anyone and anything in its
path.
Turbo Cycle: This vehicle combines the engineering genius of Berto and N-Tek with the slick
alien technology of Steel. It can reach up to over 500 mph. It also defy physics and the force of
gravity for wall riding and out-of-this-world stunts and jumps. When TURBOFied by Steel, the
Turbo Cycle increases in performance.
Turbo Racer: Once an old truck belonging to Vin and Dwayne, Max and Kirby bought this car
only to have Max's little problem with his Turbo Touch. Luckily, Berto fixed it with a TURBO
Interface, thus making it TURBOFied. This vehicle has a missile launcher, High-Speed, auto GPS
and a Stealth Mode.
Turbo Jet: In the air or in deep-sea, the Turbo Jet equips Max for an all-terrain turbo assault on
the enemy. It contains a female artificial intelligence nicknamed TJ.
Turbo Drill: A pair of powerful drill gauntlets that Max Steel uses in Strength Mode. They can
penetrate even the hardest of materials.
[13]

Turbo Star: Jim McGrath's mysterious Turbo weapon, designed to be the ultimate defense
against Makino and his invasion army. Years ago, Miles Dredd sabotaged it, resulting in his
transformation and Jim McGrath's death. Now Dredd, Max and Steel are secretly looking for
it.
[14]

Furbo: A robotic dog built by Berto to be Steel's pet.
R.O.C.C. (Remote Operational Command Center): It serves as a mobile command center and
combat unit for N-Tek agents in the field. It's loaded with state-of-the-art equipment such as
advanced surveillance apparatus, scientific analysis lab, and a fully loaded armory.
Jump Jet: This high-altitude jet is the perfect air assault vehicle, ideal for low-space missions. It
serves as Jefferson and Kat's main combat units.
Hopper: The helicopters that N-Tek uses. Used for transporting personal and weapons.

Reception
In his review for Media Life Magazine, Tom Conroy said Max Steel was "Cobbled together from
ready-made sources with no apparent interest in coming up with a fresh twist or a new slant, it
fails to make much of an impression, either positive or negative." He criticized the use of bullies,
new school, dead father, and shadowy mentor, saying they "are so overused that the writers of
this series might have assumed they were obligatory and thus didnt feel they were being lazy."
He also criticized the graphics, citing them as "creaky" and "bizarrely artificial."
[19]
In her
review for Common Sense Media, Emily Ashby praised Max Steel, giving it a 4/5. She called the
use of bullies and struggles in school "relatable," and said that "Max Steel's likable attitude,
sense of humor, and clear vision of right and wrong make him a viable modern superhero for
tweens."
[20]
