A 2013 Continuity Reboot of the Max Steel franchise, to relaunch it to the international market.note While the original franchise still existed as toys and DTV movies, they were exclusive to the Latin American market. Compared to the espionage/counter-terrorism themes of the old series, this one goes in a new, superhero-influenced direction.Young Max McGrath moves into a new town with his mother. He quickly finds out that his body generates TURBO energy - an extremely potent energy source, which he cannot control... until he meets Steel, an alien entity known as an UltraLink, and who needs TURBO Energy to survive. Together, they become the titular Max Steel and face the forces of Miles Dredd, the evil leader of Trans Human Industries, who wants to acquire all possible sources of the TURBO energy for himself... by any means necessary.After the shows initial 2 season run, a series of MFT Movies were made that continues the story.note Made exclusively for Latin America. A live-action movie adaptation was also released on October 14, 2016.On July 3rd, 2017, episodes of the show aired weekdays at 6:30 a.m. as part of the now defunct KidsClick. | |

Canon Foreigner: Played with. Some of the new characters — Steel, Naught, Sydney, Kirby and a few others — were expressly created for this continuity. But some of the others — Commander Ferrus, CYTRO, the Elementors, Toxzon and Makino — did exist in the old continuity, but were only added in after the fact in DTV movies and the like, almost none of which reached American shores, so in that case they are new additions. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Starting the 2015 movie trilogy, the show got considerably darker. In 2016, a new character named Mortum was introduced, who dealt with death and was the first human to die on screen (prior to this film, only robots or non-human characters died) and was the first character to kill people on screen. In the following year, a team of assassins was introduced and one of them stated that he killed many persons and nobody ever managed to escape from him. Turbo-Warriors invokes this. The film is much darker than the other films of the franchise and by the end of the film, Terrorax shows to Max how a world dominated by Nexus would be. In this vision, the world fell into chaos and anarchy and the dead bodies of Max's friends are seen and Terrorax appears maniacally laughing in front of his lord Nexus. The film also features a few Family Unfriendly Deaths. For instance, Night Howl is tossed in an energy field by La Fiera and is charred to death and Terrorax burns to ashes. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The way Dredd gets rather close and chummy towards Max and his ecstasy while draining his TURBO energy... In fact Forge even likens it to a 'fix'. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: During the second season, an organization of aliens, the "Black Star Council" was introduced, whose main goal was to capture Steel (who was considered a fugitive) and make him pay for his crimes. However, after the second season ends, they are never mentioned nor seen, implying that the producers dropped the idea for commercial interests. In "Split Decisions", it is revealed that Berto somehow knew about the Turbo Cannon Mode, which only top ranked N-Tek agents should know. It is never explained how he knew about it. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The series has various examples of this. For instance, a toy of the old Cytro was shown in the first episode. Midway through the first season, Max gains an invisible stealth mode, much like his old counterpart. in "Digital Meltdown", Max and Steel are seen using a video game console bearing a purple-colored version of the old series' N-Tek symbol (an oval with an abstract thumbs-up inside). Starting with Team Turbo, the references to the old series became more prominent. A few examples are: Mortum's fight against Jim on the Daedelus platform is a reference to the first episode of the original series, Strangers. Mortum is also based off on L'Étranger, a French mercenary who debuted in the aforementioned episode. Turbo-Charged's beginning makes a clear reference to the Endangered Species movie. Terrorax, the main antagonist of the film, could be the rebooted version of Psycho, Max's arch nemesis in the old series. Hero-Man, a fictional character which Steel was obsessed with, is a parody of the original Max Steel. In Turbo-Charged, Steel indirectly references the classic Max Steel by saying "Green Max is strong, Green Max is fast, Green Max has good moves!" Toxzon's human form looks vaguely like another Nerd Corps mad scientist, Doctor Frogg. | |

Disappeared Dad: Max's dad was killed in an accident with TURBO energy that also left Steel in a dormant state. Actually he's alive. The Turbo Star has transported him somewhere into outer space, right into Makino's hands. He gets freed by Max and Steel in the end. | |

Elemental Powers | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_42846e90 | comment |
Elemental Powers: The Elementors cover the standard air, water, earth, and fire. For non-standard powers, there's the Recurring Character Toxzon whose power is over poisonous and toxic compounds, be they viruses or radioactive sludge or even crude oil. And in Season 2 we have Metal Elementor, as well as the Elite Mooks consisting of three ultralinks: one combined to crystals, one combined to a plant, and the last combined to a laser gun. Admittedly the last one might not be "elemental" in their powers, but the others are. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: N-Tek went from counter-terrorism agency (with sports equipment front) to full blown Heroes Unlimited. Dredd also has gone from Bond villain to full blown superhuman with Bond villain-level resources. The original Makino, while powerful, was easily outsmarted by Toxzon. This version of Makino is the Big Bad of the series. L'Étranger returns as Mortum, a villain who took down N-Tek and allied with Max's arch-nemesis in order to obtain the Connect-Tek. While Mortum's classic counterpart only appeared three times and supposedly died in his last appearance, Mortum was one of the strongest (and darkest) enemies that Max ever fought against. | |

Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Neon green for N-Tek. Electric blue for Max. Notice that when CYTRO passes a gun to Max, it changes from N-Tek green to blue. Red and Black and Evil All Over for Dredd. Winter's gear and suit are different shades of purple. Black and white for Mortum and his gear. | |

Continuity Reboot | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_979f41a | comment |
Continuity Reboot: After the Maximum Morphos film, the show unexpectedly removed a few characters, such as Sydney, Kirby, Ven Ghan and others. N-Tek, which had a very important role in the show, is removed after the events of Team Turbo and its agents are never seen again. Additionally, the film Turbo-Charged also eliminates the "Max and Steel" dynamic, as Steel is not capable of linking with Max anymore due to his new green energy. Despite that, Steel confirmed that he was working on a way to bond with Max once again.. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Turbo-Warriors invokes this. The film is much darker than the other films of the franchise and by the end of the film, Terrorax shows to Max how a world dominated by Nexus would be. In this vision, the world fell into chaos and anarchy and the dead bodies of Max's friends are seen and Terrorax appears maniacally laughing in front of his lord Nexus. The film also features a few Family Unfriendly Deaths. For instance, Night Howl is tossed in an energy field by La Fiera and is charred to death and Terrorax burns to ashes. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Such as: In Earth Under Siege Part Two, Berto tells Max that there was an energy source that rivals his. The reason why is because Jim, Max's father who also generated T.U.R.B.O. Energy, was kept as a prisoner by Makino to power his gear.. In Full Metal Racket, Max's rockstar suit is pretty similar to Turbo Spike Mode, which he unlocked episodes later in Definetely Fear the Reaper. In Team Turbo, Jim mentions that if the Connect-Tek fell on the wrong hands, it would have been a disaster to all of them. This is later proven true after Mortum mutates into a robot zombie and later on mutates the entire world into creatures like him. | |

Orcus on His Throne | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_add14bc2 | comment |
Orcus on His Throne: Very much averted with Dredd. As soon as he has the means to fight, he engages the good guys personally. He does it again in "Secret Identity Crisis"; as soon as he's healed from his previous encounter with Max Steel, he gets directly involved. This makes sense since when you consider his predicament; his need for ample TURBO energy pretty much requires he always remain proactive, and so he does. | |

Transformation Is a Free Action: Justified with Max Steel as they seem to generate an energy field of some sort to knock back enemies, preventing interruption. Subverted once when Extroyer in his spider form uses his web to snag Steel before he can latch on! Subverted again when Blast made a well-aimed shot at Steel in the middle of the transformation. Turns out the energy field isn't infallible. | |

By the Power of Grayskull! | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_bcc4b873 | comment |
By the Power of Grayskull!: Max shouts "Go Turbo" to enter Turbo mode from his civilian guise. To change Turbo modes, he shouts "Go Turbo" along with the mode he wants to change to ("Go Turbo Strength", "Go Turbo Flight" etc.). In one early episode he's on stake-out and transforms from civilian to Turbo mode silently, without shouting the phrase. So did he do it in his head, or is he just being dramatic all the other times? | |

Shout-Out | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The first episode alone is filled with these. When Max goes to his new school and first walks in the door he encounters a Gang of Bullies who trip him before making the age old pun "have a nice trip, see you next fall." Really, the show's full of them. Max talks about Facehuggers and Steel spends one episode spouting off every superhero cliche and catchphrase. Amidst the Western hero references we get an Anime one, as Max's "hero" helmet resembles Gatchaman. Extroyer resembles Doomsday. "Thanks I think" gives us the classic ET gag. Max refers to the sort-of zombies as "walkers". Cannon Mode is straight-up Cannonbolt. At the end of "Come Together, Part 3" a reporter asks Max if he's "a strange visitor from another planet." | |

Outside-Context Problem | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_cc7fae30 | comment |
Outside-Context Problem: "Live By The Sword" centers around a cursed sword from ancient Japan whose original wielder possesses whoever holds it...in this case, Kirby (Jason Naught was after the sword but the guy he hired to get it accidentally lost it). That said, Berto calls magic "Science we can't understand yet", and if the visuals seen during the explanation are any indication, the mystic who originally forged the sword had a magic staff with what looked suspiciously like an unactivated Ultralink topping it. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: Compared to the classic film saga, the reboot comes as this - although this only applies for the first two seasons. While the show did have its dark moments, there is heavy emphasis on humor and the body horror of the villains are toned down considerably. | |

Vampiric Draining | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_d53d0080 | comment |
Vampiric Draining: Miles Dredd, who has to feed on Max's TURBO energy to survive. Does This Remind You of Anything?: The way Dredd gets rather close and chummy towards Max and his ecstasy while draining his TURBO energy... In fact Forge even likens it to a 'fix'. Hell the way he looks before he recharges is similar to a junkie in withdrawal. | |

Villain Exclusivity Clause | |
| Max Steel (2013) / int_db0a3f28 | comment |
Villain Exclusivity Clause: Almost every recurring villain in the first two seasons is related to the Ultralinks somehow, with the notable exception of Toxzon. After that, more independent villains have begun to appear. | |
