| When Teenager Max McGrath moves to a new town, an encounter with school bullies leads him to discover he can generate T.U.R.B.O (Tachyon Unlimited Radiant Bio-Optimized) Energy. He is then found by his Uncle Ferrus, who is part of a secret program called N-Tek, who tells Max his father Jim, and his partner Miles Dredd also worked there before their deaths from a laboratory explosion. The last thing Max's dad worked on was an old machine, but it doesn't work anymore. But then Max reactivates it with his TURBO Energy, revealing it to be containing a cybernetic alien being known as Steel, who bonds with Max, now allowing him to control his powers. Meanwhile, Dredd sends the evil Fire Elementor to capture Max, and the episode ends with Max being thrown off a cliff. | |||||||
| 2 | 2 | "Come Together" (Part 2) | Logan McPherson & Michael Dowding | Matthew Drdek & Lloyd Goldfine | March 26, 2013 | N/A | |
| Uncle Ferrus saves Max from falling by catching him in his plane. Inside Steel suppresses Max's TURBO energy signal, making sure Dredd can't trace him. Max then goes home and hides his newfound powers from his mom. Meanwhile, his mom, Molly McGrath, infiltrates the enemy's headquarters, gathering data, and then calls Ferrus to meet with her and talk about what she saw. At school, Max returns Sydney's phone (He accidentally took hers and she took his in the previous episode), and then goes to N-Tek to train against robots, unlocking his ability to fly. He is then called by Sydney to go on a date. While there, he leaves Steel in the boys' bathroom so he may talk to Sydney alone. He tells her he really likes her, and just as they're about to kiss, Fire Elementor and Earth Elementor show up to capture Max, having tracked him. Uncle Ferrus and Molly pick him up, and Ferrus explains taking off Steel allowed his TURBO energy to be traceable. Steel catches up, and bonds with Max to fight the Elementors, with Ferrus and his mom also fighting using laser guns. Max charges Steel up and then throws like a boomerang at the Fire Elementor's core, snuffing him out, but then the Elementor falls and crushes Steel. Finally, Max, Ferrus, and Molly (Max's mom) are knocked out by the Earth Elementor, who captures Max and rescues his brother. The episode ends with Miles Dredd holding Max captive in his headquarters and draining Max of his TURBO energy, energizing him. | |||||||
| 3 | 3 | "Come Together" (Part 3) | Logan McPherson & Daniel Ife | Matthew Drdek & Lloyd Goldfine | March 27, 2013 | N/A | |
| Miles Dredd continues to hold Max captive, and Molly, Ferrus, Steel, and N-Tek must save him. Steel flies through an air vent in the enemy's headquarters to find Max. Meanwhile, Uncle Ferrus tells Molly if Steel doesn't reconnect with Max in 8 hours, Max's powers will overload and Steel will shut down. Miles reveals to Max that he was behind the explosion that killed Max's father and created a machine to absorb TURBO Energy, but the explosion permanently connected the device to Miles. Max gets angry at this revelation, releasing more TURBO Energy, but Miles again absorbs it. The TURBO Energy Miles originally absorbed from the explosion kept him alive for 16 years until now. Finally, Steel saves Max, and the two fuse to escape, but Miles captures Steel. He shuts Steel down and hooks him up to a machine meant to kill everyone in Copper Canyon so Miles can gain more TURBO Energy, their devices feeding off each civilian. Soon N-Tek and Max invade the headquarters, faced with robots and the Elementors. Max goes looking for Steel and runs into Miles' assistant, Naught, who transforms into a cyborg, but Max easily gets rid of him off the elevator. Max then rescues Steel, deactivating the machine and trying to fight Miles, but he just absorbs their attacks and grows more powerful. Finally, Max has an idea: he and Steel release all the TURBO Energy they can, and as they fly to space with Miles, a huge explosion occurs. Molly starts to cry but then sees Max survived. Reporters arrive at the scene and ask who the hero is, with Max and Steel replying conjointly forming the name "Max Steel." Ferrus asks Molly if they knew their existence was meant to be secret and has her continue working at THI to sort the mess. In the aftermath of the fight, Miles Dredd is seen floating in space, but his Naught appears in a ship, rescues him, and they return to Earth. | |||||||

When the school is repeatedly attacked, school bully Butch is mistakenly credited as the hero when Max tries to be more inconspicuous. But on a field trip through the canyon, Dredd appears and goes after Butch. Dredd immediately realizes Butch isn't Max Steel, and Butch sells out Max, practically exposing him to the students on the bus as Max Steel. Kirby tries to play hero and knocks a weakened Dredd off the edge of a cliff, with the student body hailing him as a hero.

After Kirby realizes he has the sword, he tries to be rid of it only to see it won't leave his grip whatsoever, and he is possessed by the Ronin spirit in the sword.

Naught follows Muru-Kirby, captures him, but Muru-Kirby breaks out. Naught and Muru-Kirby battle on the roof of the ship, but they damaged the craft causing it to crash, so they move to the roof of the N-TEK aircraft. The N-TEK crew abandon ship while Max pursues Naught and Muru-Kirby, only for Muru-Kirby to put up a massive fight, until CYTRO arrives to back up Max. Berto developed a TURBO Sword for Max to defeat Murukami, so Steel can fuse with the sword as Steel isn't from the Earth, so once the sword is broken Kirby will be free.

Later, Dredd learns of Naught's plan and "reminds" both him and the goon why they should be loyal only to Dredd. | |||||||
