Max Steel is an American action/science fiction animated television series which originally aired from February 26, 2000, to January 15, 2002, based on the Mattel action-figure of the same name.[1] Max Steel ran for three seasons, totaling thirty-five episodes.[2]
From 2004 to 2012, direct-to-DVD movies kept the presence of the main character alive. However, the first movie, Max Steel: Endangered Species, was the only one to keep the continuity of the series. After Endangered Species, the continuity was altered. Endangered Species was the only movie to be made available in America, while later releases were in Latin America.
The voice-acting cast for the series included Chi McBride and Christian Campbell, as well as well-known sports stars such as Tony Hawk.
After the bankruptcy of Netter Digital and Foundation Imaging, Mainframe Entertainment took over the productions of the third season and the movies. The last episode, "Truth Be Told", aired January 15, 2002. Max Steel was the first computer-generated series to air on Kids' WB.[3]
A reboot series premiered on Disney XD in 2013.
