List of Max Steel (2000 TV series) episodes

Max Steel was first broadcast on February 26, 2000. The first season has 13 episodes, every episode starting with the letter "S". In the first four episodes, Josh and Max share the same face. In episode 5, Max appears for the first time with his actual face, which is completely different from Josh's, more mature and tough. However, the same old model of his face is reused in episode 9, "Sabres", presumably due to a change in the order of production of the episodes. The original presentation of the show portrayed Max chasing and fighting terrorists around the world. Because of this, after the September 11, 2001 attacks, the word "terrorist" was filtered out from some episodes, but not from the opening.
In season 1, there are some apparently inconsistent broadcast dates. One episode could have been aired in April, while the episode that should have followed it was not broadcast until September. This was fixed in the following two seasons.
