Prism and Chomp versus C.Y.T.R.O..
Once Max Steel appears, Prism and the others fight against him. Prism shoots crystals at him and attempts to stab him with his bladed arms, but instead causes part of a building to fall on him. He gets up and goes back to fighting, but Max activates Turbo Clone Mode and clones Turbo Speed Mode, managing to knockdown both Prism and Chomp Link after multiple, continuous blows. They later recover and are faced by C.Y.T.R.O., who uses its wrecking ball to temporarily defeat them.

After the capture of the fourth Ultralink, N-Tek manages to track down mountain lair and attacks it. He sends out an army of Dread Naughts and the Ultralink trio to fight against them. After Dread's plan fails, Prism, Chomp Blast, Miles and Jason retreat.

While N-Tek's mainframe system is being updated and its mountain base is vulnerable, Ultimate Elementor attacks the place with a massive Ultralink army.
Elementor, in his air form, creates a hurricane around Max Steel and shocks him, while Prism Link shoots crystals shards at him.

Thanks to Miles Dread's intervention later on, Prism and the remaining Ultralinks escaped via Makino Deployers.

He quickly recovers and retreats alongside with his comrades, being later rescued by a Makino Deployer.
Deep Turbo Blue Sea[]
Metal Elementor and the Ultralinks invade N-Tek's undersea base.
Metal Elementor recovers intel from a damaged N-Tek jet that the organization was developing a Takion missile capable of destroying Makino in their undersea South Pacific base. Led by Metallak, the Ultralinks head to said location. Max, by himself and stuck in his Turbo Scuba Mode, is sent to the base to assist Commander Parker and the soldiers to deal with the invaders. After they retreat inside the base, Metal commands the Ultralink trio to spread and find information about the missile.
The Ultralink trio later find Metal Elementor fighting against Max Steel in one of the facility's hallways. They confirm that they had not found any information regarding the Takion missile. Elementor and the Ultralinks corner Max Steel in an attempt of destroying him. However, the hero tricks Metal into flooding the hallway, causing the water to flood the section they were in.

Prism heads to the Copper Canyon mines. He eventually finds Max Steel, who was walking alongside Sydney Gardner and Kirby Kowalski. The Ultralink attack the group with razor sharp projectiles, but Max activates Turbo Cannon Mode and gets in front of them, protecting the two. After the two leave in a mine cart, Max deals with Prism. Using Turbo Strength Mode, he delivers a powerful punch that hurled the Ultralink into a pit. As Max appraoches the pit, Prism grabs his leg, trying to drag him. However, Prism's body is caught by a large, furry hand. Max successfully manages to free himself, watching as Prism is dragged into the darkness.
Later, Prism leaves the pit, horrified and claiming that the "Copper Squatch" was real. Before he could leave, however, the creature drags him into the pit again.
Hot Zone[]

Finally, McGrath grabs Prism and throws him at the island, landing on Chomp Link.
The Legend of Ja'em Mk'rah[]
Prism, Blast, Chomp and two Ultralinks are teleported to a road. A truck driver, upon seeing the aliens being deployed, runs away in fear. The two Ultralinks attempt to bond with the vehicle, but are destroyed by the Turbo Car's missiles. As Max leaves the vehicle to fight the trio, Blast commands them to distract him while he tried to lock a shot at the hero. After several failed attempts, Blast shoots a virus at Max, disorienting him. With McGrath weakened, Chomp tries to reason with his comrades to destroy him right there, but Blast refuses, stating that they were ordered to implant the virus and report back. The group is rescued by a Makino Deployer.
The Ultralink trio is arrested.
Thanks to the virus, Max's T.U.R.B.O. energy begins to leak, allowing the Ultralinks to track him down. The trio find him, Steel, Ferrus and Molly at a deserted area outside Copper Canyon. They are deployed to fight them, but are met with resistance from them. After Max successfully cures Steel from the virus, they easily subdue them.

.png){kind=link}
Prism is swarmed by a group of Ultralinks.
While the Ultralinks are fighting against each other to obtain Makino's central processing unit, Prism appears and attacks Blast with crystal shards.

They are then attacked by a water blast from Water Elementor.

The competition ends after Maxwell reaches the unit, discovering that it was a trap set up by Makino so he could find a new powerful host to bond with. After Makino's return, Prism and the other competitors glorify him, but he attacks them after the Elementors annoy him.
