Development[]

Max Steel's second season was publicly announced in April 9, 2013 by FremantleMedia Enterprises. It was confirmed that the second season would have more 26 episodes, each having around 23-30 minutes, much like its predecessor.[1]

In late 2013, two videos, titled as "Season 2 Promo" and "Season 2 Trailer", were released on FremantleMedia Kids & Family's website.[2] They mostly reused scenes from the first season, and had promotional footage showcasing new characters. The first video featured Kirby Kowalski narrating the events of the second season and a breif explanation about Max and Steel's dynamic, while the second was a musical video. The first promotional trailer was publicly released in DVDs bundled with toys and some of the scenes were reused for toy spots to promote the series.

In early 2014, three bonus clips (The Big Picture, Sneaky Ultralinks and the The Ultralink Hunter) themed around the Ultralink Invasion were released on the series' official website. A new mobile game, titled as Ultralink Invasion, was also in the works.

In February of 2014, a commercial featuring new footage of the second season was broadcasted at the Latin American Cartoon Network, which revealed that the new episodes would be shown starting March 7, 2014.[3] However, due to unknown reasons, they were delayed.

In April 2, 2014, the final season two trailer was released on YouTube.[4] The trailer showcased new characters, Max's new Turbo Gear and promoted the Ultralink Invasion mobile game.

In April 12, 2014, the first two episodes of the second season, Ultralink Invasion Part One and Ultralink Invasion Part Two, were broadcasted on the Latin American Cartoon Network as a one-hour marathon.[5]

Release[]

The second season was partially released on DVD format by FremantleMedia Home Entertainment and Roadshow Entertainment.

Toy Line[]

In 2014, a new toy line themed around the Ultralink invasion was produced to promote the series. As usual, there were two lines: one released worldwide featuring 6 inch toys, and one released for Latin American markets featuring 12 inch figures.

Spitfire Elementor, an action figure of the first Ultralink Invasion batch.

The first batch of the 6 inch toy line was released on early 2014. Each packaging featured a small panel labelled as "Ultralink Invasion" and each toy came with an Ultralink mini figurine. Similar to the series' initial toy line, it was heavily focused on play features, such as missile firing action. A second wave featuring new characters and new Turbo Modes, such as Makino and Turbo Spike Mode, was planned to be released at some point. Due to lack of documentation, it is unknown if they ever hit the shelves, had a limited run or were cancelled. Additionally, Mattel would also "borrow" some toys of the Latin American toy line and launch them as special releases to complement the 6 inch toy line. An example of this is Metal Elementor.

Another unnamed 6 inch line was also released in the same year. The toys were more show-accurate, featured more articulated points and came with more accessories. It also featured vehicles, such as the Turbo Car and Turbo Jet, that were compatible with the action figures. Due to lack of documentation, it is unknown if all the models were released.

In Latin America, the toy line was once again split into three sublines, being them:

  • Aerial Invasion: When the forces of evil launches their attack from above, Max Steel quickly transforms into Turbo Flight Mode and uses his amazing aerodynamic abilities. Max's T.U.R.B.O. Energy blasts him to space with lightning speed and powerful artillery-tech maintain the invasion under control.
  • Aqua Invasion: The entire planet is under threat of invasions and even the oceans aren't safe. Max can use his amazing and turbofied maneuvers, being offensive or defensive, floating or submerged on the depths, successfully defending the oceans against the aquatic invasion.
  • Land Invasion: Mega-villains, monsters and mayhem are a part of the daily work for Max Steel, so when a ground invasion occurs, not even the most powerful invaders can fight against Max's T.U.R.B.O. Energy and sophisticated weapons that Max uses to protect Earth from all kinds of enemies.

Additionally, a small subline named as Mega-Sized Villain was also released and there were plans to release the Ultra Turbo Battlers, although the latter was cancelled.

Electrix, Bio-Constrictor and Dragonelle apparently were planned to return. However, Mattel, as some of its workers, have confirmed that there were never plans to use any of these characters.
