You'll never take me alive,
Rynok!
Fine by me, mate.
The Black Star Council don't
care if you're alive or not.
Me, I prefer the latter.
Less mess.
[wails]
[groans]
Aw, quit your squawkin'!
At least you ain't off-line...
Yet.
[cries of pain]
There ya go, Gil.
Not a bad day's work if I do
say so myself.
Rynok calling the Black Star
Council.
I'm comin' in.
Have my money waiting.
You will have your reward,
Rynok.
But first, the Council has
another contract for you...
a far more challenging one.
Do you know this entity?
Ven-Ghan...
Yeah, he's a bounty hunter
like me.
We crossed paths
once or twice.
Ven-Ghan was sent to Earth
to bring N'Baro Aksteel X377
to justice, but he failed.
Our latest intelligence
indicates
he betrayed the Council by
erasing Aksteel's contract
from our "Most Wanted" list.
The Black Star Council will not
tolerate such insubordination.
Ven-Ghan must be made
an example of.
He must be taken!
It'll cost ya, but this
is gonna be FUN!
[laughter]
My name is Steel.
And this is my human, Max.
Go Turbo!
Together, we keep the Earth safe
from the bad guys.
Monsters,
Ultralinks, you know,
like Superheroes.
With a secret identity
and everything.
We are the ultimate
Turbo team up.
Max has the power.
And I've got the alien
know how to control it.
And we're gearing up for
our biggest battle ever.
Together, we are Max Steel!
Steel, Ven-Ghan, you guys
are gonna love this.
Kirby took this video yesterday,
and it's already gone viral.
Wha'ssup, girl.
[clicks tongue]
[grunts]
[laughter]
Classic!
Run it again, Max!
Run it again.
Uh, but this time,
in slo-mo!
What did Butch think of it?
He loved it!
He's already "liked it"
like 50 times!
He's hoping it'll get more hits
than that grumpy monkey video.
Never!
Nothing beats
Grumpy Monkey!
NOTHING!
[monkey chirp]
I fail to understand
why you find this humorous.
Butch was trying to act cool,
see?
And then what happens
is so totally not cool!
So humor is derived
from a contradictory set
of expectations?
Well... kinda...
but I'm not sure funny
can be explained.
Funny is just...
well, funny.
Ha! And then this kid in a white
convertible cuts me off.
And then she gives me
this little wave...
like "Hello!"
[laughter]
Like that makes it okay.
The nerve of some people!
Afternoon, mates!
Just got into town!
What's good in this dive?
Hey!
[spit]
Not that!
Dude, when did the freak show
convention get into town?
Hey yo, Dwayne,
ain't that your bike?
[belch]
What?!
Aw... Looks like me 'guana
is feelin' a might peckish.
Ha, that's it!
No one messes with my ride!
[grunts]
Uh oh.
[laughter]
You cupcakes
wanna tussle?
I knew I was gonna like it
around here!
[frantic screams!]
[grunt]
Whoa!
That guy's nuts!
Huh?
[roar]
AHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Let's get outta here!
Come on, start the thing V!
Come on, get it started!
Come on!!!
Oi, what's your hurry?
I'm just gettin' warmed up!
Now, time to get
Aksteel's attention.
And maybe he'll even bring
his mate Ven-Ghan with him.
[explosion]
Yeah...
[wicked chuckle]
Knock knock!
Who is there?
Orange.
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't
say banana?
Ah-ha-ha.
Why would I be upset if you
said banana?
Do different fruits
hold different properties
of emotional reaction?
Humour... it's kinda hard
to explain...
it's just silly sometimes...
and other times it's...
[buzzing]
Sorry to interrupt your
brilliant Humour 101 class, Max.
But my scanners just picked up
a report of an explosion
just outside of town...
Oh, and a giant lizard
marauding through the streets
eating motorcycles!
A new Ultralink?
Or a T-Rex doing some early
Christmas shopping.
Either way, we should go
check it out.
I will go with you.

♪ Could do an amazing
high dive. ♪

in the pool ♪

This ends now!
Yeah, that singing was
TERRIBLE!
Heh.
Everyone's a critic!
[grunts]
Whoa-ah-ah-ah --
[grunts]
[groans]
Somebody get the number of that
intergalactic freighter?!
Yeah, I'm really not liking
this guy.
Go Turbo Strength!
I don't think so, mate...
[grunts]
Whoa, what was that?
Anti-matter grenades!
They pack quite a punch!
N'Baro Aksteel X377,
I presume?
Sorry, no autographs.
And you are?
He is Rynok...
one of the most dangerous
bounty hunters in the galaxy!
Ven-Ghan.
Been a long time.
Not long enough...
If you have come for Aksteel,
he is under my protection.
You will not take him!
Funny thing about that...
I didn't just come for him.
Truth is...
I came for YOU!
[grunt]
[growl]
[grunts]
You used to be faster than that!
[grunt]
Same old tricks.
[snarl]
So predictable.
[fighting grunts]
[roar]
[gulp]
Ven-Ghan!
[evil laughter]
[battle cry]
Okay... that was kind of cool.
Catch you later,
Max Steel.
[laughter]
He's getting away!
Oh, no he's not...
Oh, no, not the Turbo-rang!!
Yep. The Turbo-rang.
I always haaaaaaaate
this paaaaaarrrrrrt...!
Nice catch!
But you shoulda ducked!
What...?
AHH!!
You just saved me the trouble
of havin' to chase you!
Easiest payday ever!
Steel! Ven-Ghan!
No!
This is not good!
Definitely not good!
I need backup!
Hey, Max!
Que pasa?
Berto!
He took 'em!
He took Steel!
And Ven-Ghan!
W-w-wait, slow down!
Who took Steel?
Some crazy alien bounty hunter
with a giant robot!
You're kidding, right?
No! Send back up!
Now!
That's impossible.
The boss is up on
the Daedalus Platform
with Kat and Jefferson.
Then send CYTRO!
I would, but there's just
one tiny problem...
I'm in the middle of
an upgrade.
It's gonna take me awhile
to put him back together.
We don't HAVE time!
We gotta save Steel
and Ven-Ghan!
[struggles]
This flight needs
more legroom.
And I don't even have legs!
[grunts]
Whew! That's a little better...
Whoa.
Looks like the big guy's
in sleep mode.
Let's hope he stays
that way.
Get me out of here!
Ven-Ghan?
Oof!
Well, well, well, look
what the lizard dragged in.
Wait.
Is that an attempt at humor?
Tough crowd...
No, I was genuinely asking.
And, I'm genuinely saying
we should grab your Ultralinks
and phase outta here.
My Ultralinks will not function
while they are restrained
in these containment cubes.
I might be able to unlock
the circuits,
but it will take time.
Time's the one thing
we don't have!
And I don't have enough
Turbo energy left
to crack those things!
But maybe I can hack
the nav system...
Hm...
Whoa.
Turbo energy...
almost... gone...
[grunts]
[grunt]
What in the blazes?!?
[yelling]
Did you think this
plan through?
Why would I do
that when I can make it up
as I go along?
Grab those wheels.
[grumble]
Two-bit pile o' junk!
[grunt]
This is our stop!
[grunt]
Yay, we made it...
This is far from over,
my friend
Ven-Ghan! Think you'll get away
that easily?
Not happenin', mate.
Max, what took you?
Well, I couldn't exactly
get here at Turbo speed.
And the crosstown bus stopped
at, like, every intersection!
I've got good news... maybe.
I tracked the ship that took
Steel and Ven-Ghan,
and it never made it
out of orbit.
It crash-landed
in the desert.
Then we've gotta get there!
I just hope it's not too late.
Max, without Steel, the
Turbojet's just a regular jet.
It'll have to do!
I'll send CYTRO to back
you up!
So, you know this
Rynok character?
He was once my mentor...
and... my friend.
Not exactly BFF material,
huh?
I crossed him once...
by taking a bounty that he
wrongly considered his own.
Ever since, we have been
bitter rivals.
But I learned much from him.
He is relentless,
and rarely loses.
Funny, isn't it?
Is this humourous?
No. Sorry.
Not funny ha-ha,
funny ironic.
When we first met,
you were hunting me.
And now YOU'RE the one
being hunted!
Whoa!
Correction.
We are BOTH being hunted!
[sinister laughter]
[grunt]
I'm open to suggestions!
Look! An abandoned mine!
Yeah, maybe we can lose him
in there!
[low growl]
[explosion]
We should go on foot
from here...
Ah... They've gone underground.
Wait here in case they try
to escape!
[roar]
Hm...
Clever...
But not clever enough!
Remember, I taught you
everything you know!
Rynok is inside.
Ya think?
Oh, nice.
Real nice.
[laughter]
Time to tenderize you two
a tiny bit...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Steel! Take my hand!
[grunt]
OW!
That really hurts!
And, I just had
my nails done!
My apologies.
But at least we are not
descending anymore.
So, now we just hang around
here and wait for the next bus?
Did you think this plan through?
Why would I do that when I
can make it up as I go along?
Oh, ha ha, I see
what you did there.
A good joke, was it not?
Excuse me if I don't have
the energy to laugh...
They're not getting out of there
anytime soon.
Let's get the electro-titanium
cages from the ship,
lock these two
down for real
and get off of this
putrid planet.
UGH!!
What's he done with Ven-Ghan
and Steel?
You wanna tangle with me,
boy?
Bring it on!
Whoa!
You were right.
This caballero is more
than a little loco!
Let's hope he's loco enough
to follow us
into those canyons.
I see a tunnel.
I think I can get to it.
Don't leave me hangin',
bro!
Do not worry.
Once I free my Ultralinks
from these containment cubes,
then the hunted
will become the hunters!
[laughter]
Now you're talking...
Almost got it.
I just need to...
Funny!
Heh. Very funny!
You're coming back, right?
Hello?
HELLO!!
Aw, that's just great.
Okay, he's catching up!
Max, what's the plan?
For Rynok to give us Steel
and Ven-Ghan.
Keep them busy for a sec!
Comprende!
[grunt]
Got him in our sights!
My sweet ol' granny can hit
harder than that!
Heads up!
Whoa!
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon...
Whoooaaaaa!
[grunts]
Ven-Ghan thinks he can leave
me behind?
He's gonna regret that!
But first...
Gotta find Max.
Need...
more...
Turbo... power!
Max! You okay?
Yeah. It wasn't pretty but,
like Jefferson always says...
Any landing you can walk
away from...
[growl]
Wait! I'm picking up a faint
Turbo energy signature.
Very faint!
It's Steel!
[grunt]
Amigo, you look like something
el gato dragged in.
Where you been?
Oh... just hanging around.
Max! He needs a turbo boost,
stat!
Got it!
Yowzah!
Who's back and who's bad?!
Missed you, bro!
Speaking of missing,
where's Ven-Ghan?
That rat took off and left me
to fend for myself.
Seems I underestimated you,
Ultralink.
A mistake I won't make again.
Look out!
[grunt]
Wh-oa-oa-oa!
Oh man!
Back to the drawing board!
[coughing]
Oh, too bad about
your mechanical friend.
Looks like it's just you
and me now.
That's what you think.
Go Turbo - Clone!
Nice trick, but I always say,
the more the merrier!
Time for the Turbo Lash roundup!
Augh! Augh!
Whoa!
AHH!
WHOAA!
UGH!
You know, I think
that just made him mad.
That's it!
I've had enough of you two!
[grunt]
What?!
Ven-Ghan!
You were a fool to come
back here!
You taught me that there
is nowhere in the universe
to hide from you.
So here I am.
Let's finish this!
It'll be my pleasure.
[growl]
Oh, boy.
[grunts]
Stand and fight, you coward!
As you wish.
[grunts]
[struggling grunts]
What?
No!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surrender, Rynok.
There is no escape.
That's what you think.
A bomb!
Hey, what happened back there
in the mine?
I thought you ran out on me.
No, my Ultralinks
activated prematurely
when I freed them from
the containment cubes.
By default, they took me back
to my ship.
Likely story...
But - what about Rynok?
I am certain we have not seen
the last of him.
I still can't believe
the Black Star Council
put a bounty on your head
and sent that goon after you!
I am not surprised.
After all, I did betray them.
I wonder how much
that bounty is.
Y'know, that much moola
could come in handy.
Ah, a joke.
Funny. Very funny!
[weird chuckle]
Uh, yeah, good one, Steel.
[forced laughter]
I wasn't joking...
You have failed us, Rynok.
Just a tiny setback.
I'll bring you Ven-Ghan
if it's the last thing I do.
[evil laugh]
