The Elementors are a group of recurring villains in Max Steel. They are Ultralinks and Megalinks who have fused themselves with the elements of nature. The main group of Elementors seen in the series consist of four Ultralinks that each linked with the elements of fire, water, earth and air respectively and the Megalink Metallak who linked with the element of metal. Fire and Air are voiced by Andrew Francis, Earth and Water are voiced by Brian Drummond, and Metal Elementor is voiced by Trevor Devall.
History[]
The first three Elementors, Fire, Earth and Air, came in the first Ultralink invasion on Earth. Years later, Water came to Earth through his spacecraft, which was broken and he was attempting to go back to his homeplanet, but ultimately failed. Sixteen years later after the first invasion, the fifth Elementor, Metallak was sent to Earth and linked with metal, thus bringing to life Metal Elementor.
Appearance[]
Elementors are very large and possess very monstrous features. They have very bulky and muscular body shapes and stand in an upright or hunched over posture. They have large, muscular arms that end with three to five claws on their hands and double-jointed legs that end with two to three claws on their feet. Elementors have sharp teeth in their jaws and most possess an underbite. Their Ultralink/Megalink cores are located in the centre of their heads or foreheads. Some Elementors also have eyes. Elementors also have unique features depending on what element they have linked with.

Abilities[]
The Elementors' primary power consists of controlling the elements of nature, such as fire, water, air and earth. They have superhuman conditions, being stronger, faster and more durable than an average individual and have unlimited stamina, being able to fight for long periods of time without needing to rest. They are capable of merging with each other to create stronger forms, either through natural or artificial means. A natural example would be Water and Fire Elementor's fusion, and an artificial would be Ultimate Elementor. In their fused state, the Elementors gain a wider variety of forms of attack and can use various elements simultaneously. For example, Ultimate Elementor has control over lightning[1], ice[2] and magma[3]. Two Elementors can unfuse themselves willingly or by hitting their energy cores located on their heads, while Ultimate Elementor could only unfuse via a device used by Ultralink Hunters to unlink Ultralinks from their hosts.
Being Ultralinks, the Elementors are susceptible to the Megalinks' "annexing" process, in which the Megalink absorbs the Ultralink(s) into their being. An example of this is Mega-Elementor, the fusion of Ultimate Elementor and Metal Elementor. Unlike the former, in which they could switch from form to form during combat, the Megalink takes full control of the body. In few occasions however, Metallak allowed the Elementors to take control of the body, such as Reprogrammed.
The Elementors' weak spot is their energy core, a glowing red orb located on their foreheads. Depending on the element that they have bonded with, the Elementor may have unique weaknesses. Metal Elementor, for example, is vulnerable to metal corrosives.[4] Like other Ultralinks, they are vulnerable to the Ultralink Hunter's unlinking devices, which allows them to remove the alien from their hosts with relative ease.
Trivia[]
- The Elementors made a cameo appearance in the reboot sizzle released in early 2013. Though their design was mostly the same, they had a more monstrous design and lacked a pair of eyes.
- The Elementors' character concept is inspired by the events of Max Steel: Countdown, the second animated film from the classic series. In it, Elementor splits himself into five elemental forms: wind, earth, fire, water and metal to take over the world.
- Much like their classic counterpart, the Elementors' weak spot is located on their foreheads.
- Design-wise, Metal closely matches classic Elementor, having a segmented line of spikes attached to his back (similar to the villain's "crest" in the classic series) and double-layered teeth.
- In Pick Your Poison, Ultimate Elementor is hypnotized by Toxzon and gains a dark purple of shade for his body. This is likely a reference to Max Steel Vs The Toxic Legion, the seventh film of the classic series, in which Toxzon empowers Elementor with nuclear mud and his body gains a dark purple coloration.
- They frequently refer to humans as "human slugs".
- It is unknown if there are any other fire, Water, Air or Metal Elementors. However, it is a possibility as there have been multiple Earth Elementors seen throughout the series.[5]
- It is unknown if there are any other Megalink Elementors.
- The Elementors have a habit of making puns based off their respective attribute.
