Max Steel's Turbo Missions is a series of 1 minute length mini clips produced in partnership by Mattel, Sony Pictures Family Entertainment and Mainframe Entertainment (now Rainmaker Animation) which premiered on Cartoon Network on the first half of 2008 in Latin America. Each clip usually presents Max challenging one of his enemies. There's no moral lessons to be learned or advertising as usually happens in this kind of TV commercials. The main purpose of the Turbo Mission series is to keep Max's presence alive among his fans, and slowly reintroduce previous plots and situations from the series and movies. The clips are not intended to be viewed in a specific order, and are independent of each other. You don't need to watch one in particular to understand others. Also the chronology of the events depicted varies from clip to clip. Some shows present situations, while others are denoted to be memories or flashbacks. Turbo Missions are also used to retcon the story, and give additional hints and backgrounds of the Max Steel character often as tie-in with direct to DVD movies. for example, in the movie ''Dark Rival'' it is mentioned that Troy Winter and Max are old rivals with no further explanations, but many Turbo Missions episodes show several past confrontations between Max and Troy, providing a more wide and credible background for both characters. A curious thing to note is that despite it is stated several times in Dark Rival that Max never defeated Troy in the ''Extreme Sports Circuit'', he usually surpasses him in Turbo Missions. Hence, the reason why Troy hates Max so much in the movie. Also Max fights several Psycho-robots, but it is not clear if these fights in particular are present or past, specially 'cause in this mini series Max always wears his newest Adrenalink uniform and the '09 Going Turbo Upgrade, even when the events depicted in the flashback episodes are supposed to happen years before this date. For merchandising reasons, the complete season one episodes were randomly packed with the 2008 ''Bio Crisis'' DVD as an extra bonus. Other versions of this same DVD contained a Barbie My Scene movie instead. The external package of Bio Crisis does not mention anything about bonus content, or which one is included, but the My Scene version was initially intended to be a Wal-Mart exclusive. In 2011, the Max Steel website was remade, giving it a new, fresh look. Episodes of "Turbo Missions" could be found there, however, they carried a new name, "N-Tek Adventures." These were lost when the website was updated for the 2013 reboot. == Turbo Missions characters == Due to copyright issues with the studios that originally participated in the initial release of Max Steel, most of the series support characters make no appearance at all in Turbo Missions and several mayor character from the original 2000 TV series and later Direct to DVD movies were gradually removed from Max Steel continuity with no further explanation to the audience. Jefferson (Max's adoptive father) made a last final appearance stating "he was on a very well deserved vacation for a long time". Kat, Max's best friend and the only female on Max Steel movies simply never returned after Bio Crisis direct to DVD movie and only made a cameo appearance in Turbo Missions. To substitute them, new characters were introduced initially in several movies en eventually become mayor support characters on Turbo missions and upcoming series. Elementor and ToxZon remain as the main antagonists, but with a twist, while Tox takes the brains role, plotting and directing the battle, Elementor becomes mostly a paw. They are later joined by Makino To create a super villain organisation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Max Steel Turbo Missions (2008 TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
