Turbo is the Prime Guardian, he is in charge of the entire Guardian collective and system operator of the Super Computer. He operates the Super Computer from within the Master Clock. Turbo leads the Guardians by a democratic council called the Guardian Council.
Turbo wears a red uniform, rather than the usual blue uniform of the Guardians, and earlier he wore gold shoulder armour. His Key Tool is named Copland.
Turbo visited Mainframe right after the destruction of its twin city by the virus Gigabyte. He was following Bob, who had followed Gigabyte right after the virus killed his partner Dixon Green.
When a Web Creature was suspected to be in Mainframe Turbo hired Mouse to go there and confirm the report. When she found the Web Creature Turbo and the Guardian Council voted to activate the explosive in Mouse's communicator to keep the creature from invading the Net. Turbo reluctantly agrees to the council's vote for it was always the Guardian protocol to destroy any small sealed system like Mainframe which had a Web Creature. They release their codes into the device thereby arming it. While the countdown initializes Turbo asks to be alone for this one, the meeting is adjourned, and almost immediately the Prime Guardian tampers with the hourglass timer soberly apologizing for betraying Mouse's trust and hoping Bob will discover the communicator before it is too late. Bob anticipated their response and got the explosive out of Mainframe before it went off.
During season three a supervirus named Daemon infected the Super Computer and every Guardian except Bob and Enzo Matrix. Turbo was strong enough to fight the infection for a time. He used this time to warn Enzo about Daemon and that the Guardians are looking for him and Bob.
Turbo eventually fell to the infection and was a full servant of Daemon's. He began wearing the new purple and gray uniforms that Daemon gave them and helped her trap Matrix and AndrAIa. Matrix escaped back to Mainframe with Turbo in his custody. Turbo spent the rest of the war in a holding cell. While unable to cure him completely, Bob used Glitch's powers to diminish the infection; Turbo regained a lot of his mind through this and realised that Daemon had to be stopped.
Turbo latter tried to helped Bob when he injured himself trying to separate from Glitch.
[edit] Comic
Turbo was proud to give Little Enzo his Key tool after graduating from first semester at the Guardian Academy. However, he later confronted Bob with his sympathy towards Viruses, stating if he would delete viruses like he is supposed to rather than trying to reconform them that Megabyte wouldn't have caused all the harm he had. He also gave an item to Matrix, hoping it would help him in his fight against the Viruses. He later helped the Code Masters come up with a devise to delete all the viruses throughout the Net. However, after the viruses were deleted, the Code Masters double crossed the Guardians, and hoped to delete the them, seeing them as weak. Turbo was deleted in the beginning of the fight.

- Turbo's name is possibly a reference to turbo mode which allowed the doubling of clock speed of some early Intel processors (ex. 8088 and 80286) for faster performance.
