Turbo Modes

Turbo Modes are techno-organic suits and transformations used by Maxwell McGrath and Steel to gain advantage over their enemies and new powers such as flight, superspeed and invisibility. They can be only accessed if Steel is linked to Max's chest, and Max has enough T.U.R.B.O. Energy to power them. By shouting the name of the mode, Max's armor will start to glow and form various hexagons that slowly turn into the desired transformation. The first Turbo Mode ever seen was Turbo Base Mode, which debuted in Come Together Part One.

In Dawn of Morphos, Max and Steel learn the Duo Strike technique, which allows them to fuse two Turbo Modes into one new transformation.

In Turbo-Charged, Max is permanently separated from Steel by Terrorax, a masked villain who wanted to exploit the true potential of McGrath's powers. At the same time, Max starts to generate a green-colored variation of his T.U.R.B.O. energy. Steel develops his own technology named as Steel-Tek, including a new set of technological armors for Max and Team Turbo to use. These armors are equipped with Connect-Tek technology, which allows Max and his team to configure and reconfigure their suit to form Turbo Modes and new transformations. Contrary to his past blue-colored modes, Max's new Turbo Modes are completely technological rather than techno-organic. Initially in Turbo-Charged, Max used the Steel-Tek gear to mimic the powers of some of his past modes, such as the Turbo Gauntlets, which were inspired by his Turbo Strength Mode.

Trivia[]

  • Turbo Modes have their own full designation. For example, Turbo Strength Mode's designation is "Protocol X795" and Turbo Camouflage Mode is "Security Protocol Zed-795". Their names can be simplified to be activated for combat.
  • Prior to the Team Turbo timeskip, most of Max's Turbo Modes featured blue, black and white. Other modes have a fourth color added to them, such as Turbo Nova which features red, Turbo Speed (post season two) which featured green and Turbo Heat which features yellow. From Team Turbo and onwards, Max's modes gained a wider variety of colors, such as Turbo Hammer Claw Mode, which is entirely yellow and black with blue accents.
    • In the 2017 duology, Max's mode colors also have a larger variety of colors, such as red and orange, although black has more prominence.
  • Some of the Turbo Modes are all used in one episode.
  • From Team Turbo and onwards, most of Max's modes came with a weapon or devices, such as Turbo Hunter Mode which came with a blaster, or Armor Mode which came with a sword and reflective shield.
  • Max has access to the Turbo Modes of his father as well, as seen in Maximum Morphos when he and Steel combined Jim's Turbo Sonic Mode and Turbo Flight Mode.
