—Chomp Link, Ultralink Invasion Part Two
Chomp Link, or simply Chomp, was a recurring antagonist introduced on the second season of Max Steel. He is the result of a purple Stinger Ultralink bonding with a Venus fly-trap. Alongside Blast and Prism Link, he was a member of a small Ultralink squadron led by Metal Elementor in charge of subjugating Earth. Chomp and the Ultralinks clashed multiple times against Max Steel and N-Tek, but in they lost. After failing repeatedly, Chomp was thrown into the vacuum of space by Mega-Elementor, serving as an example to other Ultralinks of what would happen to them in case they failed him again.
Chomp Link debuted in Ultralink Invasion Part One and was voiced by Sam Vincent.

After N-Tek retreats, Metal and the rest of the Ultralinks split up. After chasing Max Steel for a while, Metal and the Ultralink trio corner him.
