Connect-Tek (toy line)

Connect-Tek is a subline introduced in 2015. Each action figure in this sub line have hex ports (generally in the forearms, back and legs) that can hold different kinds of weapons. The line was continued in 2016 and even a device with the same name was introduced in the show in the same year.

Description

Connect-Tek action figures feature various hex ports, usually present in the forearms, legs and back of the toy. Some figures have more ports than usual, such as Saw Ripper Dread, Aqua Armor Max Steel or Flight Max Steel for example. Accessories may have hex ports as well. Figures with larger proportions, such as villains or Max's modes, usually have more.

In 2016, most of the toys featured Connect-Tek ports. From 2017 to 2021, all the toys, aside from 6" action figures and roleplay items, featured hex ports.

Trivia

• During the first half of 2015, all boxes of Connect-Tek toys featured an illustration of Max using Turbo Base Mode equipped with various weapons, regardless of the fact if the product portrayed Max or a villain. In the second half of the same year, the illustrations of the toys were changed to represent their respective toys.
• There are few accessories in this line that aren't compatible with any other figures, like Ocean Mutant Extroyer's shark head.
