“ Technology - it's our heart, it's our soul. Here at Trans Human Industries, we are creating the future, today. To the food you eat, to the air you breath. THI is transforming the human experience. THI, let us become a part of you.
—Jason Naught in a commercial, Come Together Part One
- This article is for the company. You may be looking for THI's headquarters: THI (Building).
THI, which stands for Trans Human Industries, is a famous business company founded by Miles Dread. They produced diverse products, such as food and electronic devices like cellphones, music players, microprocessors and others. THI also operated on other fields, such as environmental science, space exploration and energy generation. Under Miles' command, Naught secretly used the company's resources to find T.U.R.B.O. energy. After the rise of the second Max Steel, Maxwell McGrath, Miles put in motion his master plan of absorbing the life force of Copper Canyon civilians. Following his defeat, Dread and Naught retreated and Molly McGrath assumed the position as the company's CEO. As a result, THI began to use its technology and resources for good causes.
In the second season, Molly uses some of THI's resources to help N-Tek build the Daedelus platform, a flying fortress made to combat Makino and his Alphalink.
In Maximum Morphos, the company was shut down after Morphos became Copper Canyon's mayor due to his safe city initiative. The creature later used the core reactor of the tower as a transmitter to mutate the citizens into monsters like him, but his plans were eventually foiled thanks to Max Steel and Miles Dread's efforts.
THI debuted in Come Together Part One.
History[]
Early years[]
THI was founded by Miles Dread during an undetermined period of time. Jason Naught, Miles' right-hand man, worked as the company's CEO due to Dread's weakened state. In order to hide THI's assets, Miles set up various shell corporations, such as Paragon Labs.[1]
Season 1[]
Come Together Part One[]
Following a presentation of a commercial of the company, Miles requested to talk with Jason regarding about an Ultralink recovery mission. Naught informs that THI's aerial forces were taken down by N-Tek, much to his boss' anger. He demands Jason to find a T.U.R.B.O. energy source as quick as possible, otherwise he'd perish alongside him.
Hours later, a THI worker picks up a massive T.U.R.B.O. energy reading in Copper Canyon. Naught contacts Miles to inform it. Dread commands him to cease all Ultralink capture protocols and that he would find a hunter to find the source. Naught returns to his office, only to find Molly McGrath looking through some reports of the company. He affirms that it was his "private office" and she apologizes before leaving the place.
Come Together Part Two[]
In the THI headquarters, Naught informs that they had lost the T.U.R.B.O. energy source, much to Miles' anger. He once again demands Jason to find the source. Later on, Molly invades the headquarters of the company using her stealth suit. She is found by two security guards, but easily subdues them. She enters Naught's private office and obtains the company's reports. She then sits on his chair, pressing a button beneath his table, causing her to be transported to a hidden area. Molly obtains more information and later leaves.
A THI worker later picks up another T.U.R.B.O. energy source and Naught sends out Fire and Earth Elementors. The two successfully capture Maxwell, in his Steel Suit, and take him to THI's headquarters, where Miles drains his energy to empower himself.
Come Together Part Three[]
Miles tells his origins to Max, revealing how he betrayed his own best friend, Jim McGrath, for power and how he became who he is today. Upon hearing his father's name, Max gets angry and generates large amounts of energy, of which Dread absorbs. Steel intervenes and frees Maxwell. After linking, the two attempt to escape, but Miles ultimately separates the Ultralink from Maxwell, causing him to fall from the top of the THI tower to the ground.
With an Ultralink in hand, Miles continues with his original plan. The catalyst located at the top of the tower create energy tendrils that ensnare countless civilians in Copper Canyon, slowly draining tiny fractions of T.U.R.B.O. energy from their bodies. Maxwell and N-Tek fight back, invading the THI headquarters. While N-Tek deals with the Dread Naughts, McGrath goes after Steel. Naught briefly intervenes, but is easily defeated thanks to his T.U.R.B.O. energy vulnerability. Max heads to the top of the tower, where he unplugs Steel from the terminal and foils Miles' plans.
Cleaning House[]
A disgruntled former THI employee, Tytus Octavius Xander, spreads a virus in the entire building, causing the people inside to turn into mindless, zombie-like creatures. He is later confronted by Max Steel, but their fight ultimately leads to him mutating into a toxic creature. Despite Tytus' overwhelming strength, Max and Steel manage to defeat him. Using Xander's plastic pen drive, "Fishy", they find the antidote for the virus, successfully curing the people in the building.
Hard Water[]
Max and his class head to a rocket launch organized by THI's CEO, Molly McGrath, near the ocean. After they spot a tsunami going their way, Molly tells to stop the countdown.
The Thrill of the Hunt[]
The mercenary Troy Winter and an army of Dread Naughts invade THI's headquarters. He invades Molly's office and investigates the place for Ultralink pieces. Using her ninja suit, Molly confronts him. Meanwhile, Max enters on the lower level of the tower, using his Turbo Strength Mode to destroy various Dread Naughts. Despite Molly's best efforts, Troy manages to escape.
Scrambled[]
After an encounter with Steel, Extroyer's Ultralink is damaged. In order to repair it, he heads to THI. He finds Molly and confronts her, demanding a Nano-Energy Regulator. She leads him to her office, showing that the regulator, alongside other Ultralink parts, were taken away. After Max calls his mother's phone and she answers it, Extroyer overhears her saying his name and snatches it from her hands, thinking she was talking with Max Steel. He demands him to bring the device. Hours later, Max brings the regulator and hands it to Extroyer, making his Ultralink fully operational again. He transforms into a gorilla and confronts the two.
Thanks, I Think[]
Max invites his friends, Sydney Gardner and Kirby Kowalski, to a tour in THI. Molly presents them suspended animation, a developmental weapon made for space exploration. At Sydney's request, Kirby distracts Molly and Max while she steals several samples of the suspended animation.

Plaztek invades THI and steals the Laser Core Sample to proceed with his plans of destroying humanity.
Makino Strikes Part Two[]
Miles Dread, an Ultralinked Forge Ferrus, an army of Dread Naughts and the Ultralink squadron invade THI's headquarters, with Miles commenting that he was happy to "reclaim" his old building. They are met with resistance by N-Tek's part, however. After Forge subdues Molly, he, Chomp and Prism Link head to the top of the tower, where he implants a program on one of the terminals. As a result, a wormhole slowly opens near the Earth, which would allow Makino's Alphalink to pass through. Jefferson, Kat, Molly and Berto head the top of the tower later, with the latter attepting to deactivate the program Forge implanted.
After Makino's defeat at the hands of Max Steel, Mega-Elementor informs his troops that they had lost contact with him and commands them to retreat. While Forge is unlinked from the evil Ultralink, Roberto manages to neutralize the program, preventing the reactor from overloading and destroying the city.

Animated Films[]
Maximum Morphos[]
After Morphos becomes the mayor of Copper Canyon, he shuts down THI due to his "safe city" initiative. A news reporter asks Molly if the company posed any threat to the city, of which she denies and states that Copper Canyon's safety definitely wasn't his priority.
Using the reactor of the tower as a transmitter, Morphos mutates the entire Copper Canyon into monsters like him. Miles devises a plan, allying with Max Steel, Toxzon, Extroyer and the five Elementors to take down Morphos. After temporarily incapacitating the creature, Max tries to go to the top of the tower to use his T.U.R.B.O. energy to reverse the mutation, but it self-destructs before he could do it.
