Season 1
Earth Under Siege Part Two
After Makino realized that Max, Steel and Forge Ferrus were in the Makino Destroyer, Dread was sent to fight against them. By absorbing more T.U.R.B.O. Energy from the chamber of the ship, Dread unlocked his new mode, which easily overpowered and resisted to Max's Turbo Modes without much effort. Later on, Steel made a plan consisting in tricking Dread by saying that he would join Makino's forces. While Dread was distracted, Steel activated Turbo Cannon Mode and knocked down Dread by sending him to the core of the chamber, making the Destroyer explode due to Dread's negative charge of his energy.
Season 2
Ultralink Invasion Part One
When Max defeated the trio of the Ultralinks, Dread appeared and attacked him with a sphere of energy and transformed into Makino Mode. While the Ultralinks were in disadvantage against N-Tek's forces, Blast suggested to Dread activate the fourth Ultralink, but it didn't worked, though that Dread's plan successfully worked. By distracting N-Tek with Jason Naught, Dread escaped alongside with the Ultralinks.
