He is a sardonic, wisecracking personality matrix downloaded to a robot shell.

TOM was originally a that was chosen by to be the captain of the; alongside its A.I. His responsibilities include maintaining the ship and broadcasting Toonami's signal to the world. TOM enjoys throwing one-liners and, like Moltar before him, gives sage advice to viewers about moral issues like chasing dreams and standing up for what's right.

Frequently, he'll pass along,, movie teasers, and other various commentary. As of the current run on Adult Swim, he has undergone 5 different incarnations at the helm of the block (excluding variants). Contents [] TOM 1.0 TOM 1 Appearance White and Blue, Lights Embedded Onto Hands And Stomach Hosting Period July 10, 1999 - September 21, 2000 Voice Actor The original version of TOM was a small, pudgy robot known as a with his feet, hands, and head connected to his body by thin black joints. TOM made his broadcast debut on Saturday, July 10, 1999, five minutes before the first broadcast at approximately 11:55 pm.

After ascending to the bridge of the Absolution he made his first speech: “So it's a brand new Toonami, but the mission objectives remain the same. My name is TOM. Welcome aboard the, Cartoon Network's first and only interstellar broadcast and exploration vehicle. Hotspot shield elite universal crack exe fifa. I'll give you the tour later.

From this day forward she is completely responsible for all Toonami transmissions. I'm takin' you guys into the new millennium! No big changes now, same show, same attitude; new place to do it, new guy to do it with. I'm not going to waste any more time, let's get back into it. Later.” TOM 1's body had a digitigrade construction, resulting in backward knees. His un-proportional body caused him to have an overall slow walking speed. He was unable to equip jetpacks on his own, requiring (forceful) assistance from the Absolution to attach them to his back, which TOM complained about.

TOM also had a scope mounted onto the left side of his helmet, although the purpose of this was never explicitly shown. After more than a year as host of Toonami, the original version of TOM met his end in the September 2000 event, when a invaded the Absolution. When TOM went to investigate, the blob sent him flying out into deep space. After returning back to the ship, TOM attempted to destroy the blob, but his laser blaster was ineffective against it. TOM 1.0's death Ultimately, the blob engulfed TOM inside an elevator and consumed him.

However, this was not truly the end of TOM, as he was soon reborn as TOM 2, and managed to banish the blob from the ship after it had overtaken the Absolution's starboard engine. Unfortunately, the creature overtime melded with TOM 1's remains, slowly forming a mutated-creatured. Thus merging the blob's physiology and predatory instincts with what remained of TOM's programming and personality, resulting in a warped deranged recreation of his original body. With its newfound knowledge, the mutated blob/TOM 1 creature went on a manhunt across the galaxy, hunting down the only creatures to ever escape its hunt; TOM.

TOM 1 was the only incarnation of the character to not be voiced by, instead being voiced by (known for his role as Krillin from, one of Toonami's first hit shows). 15 years after the death of TOM 1, Strait returned to voice the blob/TOM 1 hybrid in.

TOM 2.0 TOM 2 Appearance Navy, White Around Hands, Arms, and Femur; Lights Embedded onto Hands and Stomach Hosting Period September 22, 2000 - March 14, 2003 Voice Actor Birth of TOM 2.0After TOM's death in The Intruder,, the AI aboard the Absolution, downloaded TOM's memory matrix (which included all his memories at the time of death, thoughts, and persona) into a new chassis, upgraded by her, and activated the unit aboard the Absolution. Dubbed TOM 2, this version of TOM was a taller, leaner model with larger hands and feet, and a sleeker helmet which included a mounted head scope with a camera tracking system. His knees were now human-modeled (front bending), allowing TOM to move around the Absolution more easily. The nuclear reactor core that powers TOM was also moved from the 'gut' to the chest cavity.

Overall, TOM 2 is a more battle-ready version of his original body, and this quality was immediately put to the test when SARA informed TOM 2 he would have to go out and plant explosive charges on the starboard engine to save the. TOM 2 resumed the duties previously carried out by his former self, including the broadcast of Toonami from the Absolution. In the September 2001 event, Tom demonstrated his ability to keep the Absolution up and running by single handily getting the ship's nuclear reactor and conduit systems back online. In the September 2002 event, TOM again took on the role of the Absolution’s defender when the ship became infected with a virus shortly after entering hyperspace. TOM was able to get the ship's essential operation systems back online before crashing into Earth and ultimately saved SARA from the virus, earning TOM a moment of affection from SARA. TOM 2.0's deathTOM 2 met his end in the March 2003 comic after a space pirate named broke into the Absolution to steal SARA.
