Turbo-Charged
In an abandoned warehouse, Max is taken down by a trap and transforms back to his Turbo Base Mode. In a mysterious place, he wakes up and a mysterious villain named Terrorax forces him to generate large quantities of T.U.R.B.O. Energy to the point where he overloads and blows up the entire place. Max's Turbo Base Mode is partially destroyed in the process.
Appearance
It's a full body armor that takes form of close-fitting black-white-blue suit. It does not give Max any special boosts or abilities. It's the only Mode that allows Max to "take off" the helmet although it prevent any possible head traumas during fights as well as conceal Max's identity.
Purpose
The suit is designated to help Steel harvest Max's T.U.R.B.O Energy as well as create a field that can mask Max's T.U.R.B.O Energy to a certain extent.
Other uses
Camouflage mode
As Turbo Mode can't be taken off, Camouflage Mode was created to mimic Max's every day attires. It uses holographic-based technology to allow Max to blend among other people. It mostly takes form of Max's characteristic clothing: plain T-shirt, blouse, mostly blue, with white Steel-like logo, jeans and sneakers. although other attires were used like suit or pajama.

Trivia
- It is Max Steel's primary Turbo Mode.
- To activate that mode Max yells 'Go Turbo!', in contrary to other Modes where he has to specify the exact purpose of the Mode.
- This mode is able to endure the most dangerous toxins.
- Base Mode presumably auto-repairs over time, for it was cracked and scorched in Pick Your Poison.
