I don't think Disney are making the programme, they only show it on their channel
I found out there are different versions of MAX STEEL so I had to double check I'd built the right robot!

I started watching this cartoon out of the novelty. The only thing this has common with the original is to use the same name and the name of the organization.
From what I can tell it's in no way connected to the original Max steel
the original cartoon was a James Bond style series and he worked for a government organization disguised as a sporting goods company. If I remember correctly, the company had belonged to his father or something like that or his adopted father, old economy, I forget which.
His name was Josh McGrath and somebody broke into the lab trying to steal a experimental nano probe projectcalled the max probes .
When trying to escape with the stolen property . The villain encountered the yang man and he exposed thw boy to a sample of the nanomachines thanking thay wood kill hem.. too kipe hem alive . They had to give him regular doses of energy or he wood have died. A side effect of being exposed to the nano robots which weren't intended for human use. Was it gave him a series of mechanical like abilities. He has superspeed. Super muscle airing an iSight as well as it increased his reflectors and ability to heal . They also allowed him to change at will. His physical appearance and clothing. He obviously couldn't go working for the government organization looking like a 16-year-old kid who was a well-known sports celebrity due to he was part of the spokes campaign for the sporting goods company so he used the robots to create a alternate physical appearance of a 20-year-old man who was code-named Max steel. There wasn't much for robots in the shell. They were more exoskeletons with people inside. It was one of the big to do was in its day due to have a few cartoons were done with CGI. Back then it was done by a company in Canada I believe called mainframe. They did quite a few CGI cartoons. Back then. Frankly, I think they should've made this cartoon as a continuation of the original and not a completely new cartoon.
One of the things that caused quite a bit of fuss and got the original put onto a adult timeslot was a senior agent that Max worked with was a 30+ year old blonde woman who he ended up having a brief relationship with thay kissed a few times on camera and stuff like that. You can obviously see the whole back an issue of a 16-year-old getting involved with a 30-year-old woman
Over the years I've found several look at yard sales, but there's one figure in particular I can't find although I've seen it once on eBay it was calld the stranger, that's the English pronunciation of his name by the way, his name was French in the cartoon and I can't pronounce it correctly. But the English translation was the stranger. he technically had no phase! . Whatever you say him and the cartoon. He was wearing a special mask, which looked a little bit like a ski mask, but it was supposedly a surgical type garment something to do with. He had been and some sort of an accident where his entire face had been severely burned and from the outline you can see in the mask he had no nose or ears just basically a skull like shape . Wouldn't mind getting a copy of that robot you're working on it's quite interesting.
Have you ever thought about doing ravage from the generation one sound waves Cassatt's? that particular character would come in handy for my barness

I've been reading the MAX STEEL Wiki and the background is still sort of the same. Max is a human teenager who works for a top-secret agency but this time the "Steel" part of his name comes from a little flying alien called STEEL. When they combine together in "Turbo Mode" they fuse together to transform into various MAX STEEL characters
Oops... I can see why the original backstory would cause a problem. Different countries have different ideas about what should be on TV, so although it might not be offensive in one place it would be in another. It's one reason so many Japanese shows get re-edited for the European and American audiences, even if parts of the storyline gets really confusing in the new version
The French word for "a strange person" or "a strange thing" is Étranger but it can also mean "foreigner" or "trespasser". In the episode I saw to build this CYTRO model there was a baddie called Toxzon with a little talking fish!!

the original Max steel wasn't a Japanese cartoon. And part of what I like was it was nano bot technology-based
the guy with a french name was lay tron jay in English translation is the stranger ,he was 1 of the extremely rare toys from the toy line and so much so I don't have figure myself! I also don't have the lab assistant or the sidekick .I'm not sure if they made an action figure of those two characters due to the toy line didn't hang around very long. In Canada, and I don't know how long it ran in the US. At one point, the toys were selling for quite ridiculous prices and I should've got on the bandwagon LOL. I've got quite a few extras and they were selling for like $20 each used. And now you can't get two dollars each for them on eBay. If it wasn't for the shipping expense. I would look for the couple. I don't have and look for the carts that are missing from the vehicles that I have lol. The Max steel toys were actually quite well made. Given the timeframe they commode in. There are 12 inch tall action figures with quite a bit of detail and there similar to the action man toy line from the 90s.
Toxzon is a interesting CGI model . So is the mom and maxes robotlike body when he's wearing a suit of armor with his human head showing

I thought the original Max steel was pretty good. It just never really found an audience due to the network. It was on here in Canada and the timeslots. They were forced to put it on at. It was considered highly adult in its time, believe it or not. You've got to remember it have a lot of adult themes and it and so it ended up being put on quite late at night here in Canada as far as I know was severely edited for American television. It actually ran longer. I think in Canada than it did in the United States. I can only imagine how badly Disney has orchard. It, in attempting to do a remake, which is considered quote Disney family friendly! That terminology has made me sick for years. Disney started that Disney family-friendly crap about 10 years ago and cancel every good cartoon show a hand on television due to they were to add alt for the Disney family-friendly theme and they started doing those cartoons that were sold mentally dumb down they gave everybody a severe migraines and even made Bernie looked good. I've watched Disney for the most part completely destroyed their animation department over the last 10 years. It's very seldom you see them do a good animated television series anymore. Before somebody brings up Kim possible. I don't really have anything against Kim possible. It's just that the art style isn't really a Disney cartoon. I'm talking about shows like dark wing duck, which was eventually killed. Even back then for being too graphic. Another show. They did was Mighty Ducks, which got the boot for being again to graphic. Then there was gargoyles, which fell victim to the whole Disney family-friendly movement! Duck days. Quack pack is another cartoon that was given the acts during the family-friendly movement and I could continue. It's very seldom use the Disney do good well animated cartoons anymore. If the Max steel cartoon is any good. It's probably a subsidiary studio that Disney owns or they're paying to do it. For example, Disney owning Marvel and they generally have other studios do the work so it's not really Disney involved. That's why I'm not counting the Marvel cartoons under the whole Disney umbrella. By the way they own Marvel , but they don't really get involvedspace in the cartoons. So if people happen to complain all they have to say is, we just lease the rights to this particular company were not really responsible.

I think that now the Disney itself, namely that of Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse, no longer exists. It is now a multinational company interested only in making money.

i wish the making money part was trow! ever since they did that family-friendly move they started losing money and I don't think they've ever really turned things around. They even tried to get rid of Walt Disney's son from the board of directors because he was going along with their so-called new direction! He took them to court and fought for years to get his position back on the board of directors. I know Disney makes a lot of money on things like where are they now own marble industries but it's generally whenever Disney itself makes a cartoon. It's really, really dumb down and childish. Now when one of the companies they own makes a cartoon under the Disney on brought so to speak. The cartoons tend to usually be more grown up. But it just kind of bugs me to this day that you don't see more cartoons in the Disney style like gargoyles and dark wing duck

ironically, you're not first person I've heard mention that sort of thing. And I am frankly beginning to think that it's not far from the truth. Given how vehemently the MWm fight so hard to keep some television cartoons from existing and have a lot of good cartoons get killed. Really quickly. If enough of mwm kick up too much fuss.
mwm is the Mid west moms .
it's a nickname that started getting passed around back in the 90s for women who would send in protest letters and so forth. Again, just various television programs, especially cartoons

It goes back a lot further, and not just grafix or cartoons.
There was the whole Carrie Nation/WCTU and the "Great Experiment"
which as an unintended consequence installed organised crime into your society and particularly politics and, of course, there was in films the Hayes Office,
which later gave you the Comics Authority, all of which was fuelled by and supported Macarthyism which allowed a voice to your political authoritarianism and general suppression of dissent.
There was a brief moment of freedom and hope during the late 60s,
but (from this distance) that also appears to have been stamped out.
BUT!
Don't believe me. I'm a known and admitted leftist political activist and agitator, so do your own research into your own history and decide what (if anything) you intend to do about it.
There's a thriving and much freer arts community in Berlin.

None of that surprises me. Why do you think artists started doing what was referred to as underground comics back in the 1960s. A lot of comic books. I read from the 1970s and 1980s up into the 90s were done by small publication companies or published directly by the people who did the writing and artwork. I still happen to know a few of these individuals personally. One in particular started out working for a very small company and ironically that one particular comic he was doing has turned into a fairly large franchise and as I understand it he runs a small publishing company now and sells his books to various other companies. I write from and to getting used. Order my books directly from him, instead of the other companies lol. I've got pretty much every book he ever did autographed as well as a bunch of assigned trading Kurds and other things. LOL. I used to know a few of the 1980s and 90s underground comic book artists a few of them says than have passed away or got really paranoid about anybody. They used to know. There was one artist in particular that Warner Bros. gave a really hard time that used to work for them till they screwed him over. That particular incident was over the Lola Bunny character in space jam and the monster characters. Most people would say I sound like a conspiracy. Not if I get into that whole discussion. I'm fully aware there's been church groups buting and to children's programming and literature back as far as the 1950s. They tried to have comics totally done away with back than. And that was what started the comics code. Ironically, the comics code was done away with at some point in the 1980s. Comics are a lot more free range then they were back up until the 1980s.

Yeah, I actually shed a tear or two when Mr Crumb died. Not something I do often. Wallace Wood had similar problems with the studios, I believe.
Here in Oz, our comix scene was quite small and withered away in the 80s but our other art is still vibrant and not so constrained (though the forces of wowserism keep trying) so the outlets for expression didn't need to be so subversive.
Keep the faith, Comrade! (Keep on truckin')

Thank you!
This isn't my design, I've only copied it from the official cartoon. It's awesome to try building a not-Transformer
