Eh, I'm sure Booger won't mind us turning his precious Forge into a broadcast station that streams anime every Saturday night! New look, new place, but same old TOM.
TheBlackDragonKnight I think we may get new TOMS instead. There are plenty of them still on the Forge and TOM would probably make a way better commander if he were to hire them.
@@boydixonentertainment I don't know, the Clydes are just a big a staple of Toonami, in fact they predate TOM as they have been around stince the block first started.
What a finale, and WHAT A LOGO! Look at that thing, it's a work of art. Seriously, it kinda sucks that we won't be seeing anymore of the Vindication any time soon, but I'm glad that the TOMs are safe. And with the Forge out of the way, maybe we could get a TOM and SARA show in the near future... Right?
S A R A S A I D T H E M E M E W O R D Man, this was quite a ride. A shame we never got to say a formal goodbye to the Juniors and Georgia, but hopefully this won’t be the last we see of them. The beatdown with Booger was also great, and I’m seriously loving the new branding. Looking forward to this new era of Toonami!
Well, I am surprised! TOM and SARA have taken over the Forge space station? That's unexpected! Well, at least I have one more thing to say: Farewell to you, Vindication, best of luck, TOM Juniors, and welcome to the bright new era of Toonami!
I hope Georgia and the yellow TOMs will be ok. They have a copy of S.A.R.A. so I think they will be fine. But I wonder can Toonami be broadcast from both the forge station and the Vindication ship?
I thought the same LOL, maybe the toms on the vindication don't have the Streaming key to broadcast Toonami, but that might be funny for April fools XD, Toonami presented by the toms
Epilogue: Some Time Later (In the Forge's station command deck, we see Tom and Sara standing in front of fifty inacative newly constructed TOM units. Each unit is designed differently - some are bulky or lean, some are tall or short, and some even have a feminine appearance in their design - and is a different unique color. Sara looks at Tom.) Sara: Tom, are you sure this is a good idea? I mean, we don't know how they'll react or what they might do. Tom: You've seen the size of this place, Sara; you know we can't keep manage it on our own. Georgia and the Clydes are gone. We need a crew. Sara: I know that, Tom. But what if something goes wrong? What if one of them ends up with a virus and starts acting hostile? Tom: We'll burn that bridge when we get to it. Besides, what could be better than a whole crew of TOMs? Sara: Honestly, anything. (Tom clasps his hands and rubs them in excitement.) Tom: Okay, that's enough small talk. Sara, wake up the troops. (Sara approaches the inactive Tom units and shakes her head with grief.) Sara: (Sigh) Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to regret this. (Sara raises her hands and sends out an energy wave to the crowd of TOM units. The units instantly activate and look around at the station and each other in confusion. Sara hovers above the crowd and raises her hands.) Sara: Attention all units! (None of the TOM's hear her and continue talking and looking around in confusion. Sara sighs and then projects her voice through the station's intercom.) Sara: I said...ATTENTION ALL UNITS!!! (All the TOMs instantly go silent as Sara's loud voice echoes throughout the empty station. Sara hovers down, turns and gives Tom a nod.) Sara (Normal Voice): They're all yours, Tom. Tom: Uh....thank you, Sara. (Approaches the now attentive Toms.) Um, greetings fellow units. Welcome to life. I know you've just activated and are wondering where you are, who you are, who I am, and why a glowing pixie just rattled your audio receptors. To answer the first question: You are all currently standing in the isolated space station known only as, The Forge To answer the second question:...I don't know; I didn't make time to give you names, so you'll just have to name yourselves. And to answer the third and fourth question: My name is Tom - though I'd prefer it if you would address me as "Commander Tom" or "Sir" - and the shouting pixie, is my co-commander and A.I companion, Sara. (Sara gives the TOM units a little wave.) Tom: Anyway, the reason why you are all here is for one sole purpose: To maintain the function, efficiency, and condition of this station. Unnamed Tom Unit: Isn't that three purposes? Tom: No interruptions, please! Now, each of you has been specifically designed to carry out a certain duty and function on this station. However, you have also been given your own unique individual personality and freewill, so the choice of whether to work or not is yours. Just know that if you refuse to work, then this station will slowly decay and malfunction which may lead to us all imploding and floating as scrap in the cold infinite vacuum of space. Unfortunately, the option of leaving the station is out of the question, because there are absolutely no available spacecraft on board and the station itself is completely off the radar. The odds of a ship entering our area are somewhere between minimum and impossible. So, until such a time that a ship does actually somehow appear, we're all basically stranded. I know it's a lot to take in. But, despite all that me and Sara have accomplished, we can't run this station by ourselves. The Forge needs you. We need you. I need you. (Pauses to wait for response - none is given.) So,uh...any questions? (Every TOM unit raises their hand.) Tom: Right. Anyone with a question that doesn't involve the origin of The Forge or the meaning of life? (Many of the TOM units lower their hands - leaving only a couple raised. Tom points to one of the few units that still have their hands.) Unnamed TOM unit: My data says that you created us using The Forge's assembly line. Could we not use it to construct a ship? Sara: We HAVE looked into the option. I'm afraid the assembly line's capability is limited by its design and programming, and the station just doesn't have enough materials to construct an entire working ship. I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no way off this station. Second unnamed TOM Unit: What makes YOU qualified to be commander? Tom: Well let's see: I liberated the station from its original commander - who was planning to use the Forge to conquer the universe; I guided the original enslaved TOM units to freedom; and I my shell has the capacity to kick your skid-plate. I think that more than qualifies me of being Commander. Female TOM unit: If we're maintaining the station, what will you two be doing? Tom: Sara will be monitoring the station's systems to make sure each of you is doing their job right. And I'll be managing and overseeing the order and progress of the station, while also working as host of the tele-visual broadcast, Toonami. Okay, people, that's enough questions! We've got a station to run! You all have your jobs, now lets get to it! (All the TOM units salute.) All TOM Units (Unison): Yes Sir! (As the TOM units file out of of the Command Deck and head to their assigned areas, Sara looks at Tom in worry.) Sara: I still have a bad feeling about this, Tom. Tom: Come on, Sara. Whatever happens next, we'll deal with it like we always do. Besides, like you said, this station is completely off the star map; nobody can find us or even knows we're here. So, what could possibly happen? (Meanwhile, somewhere light-years away from the Forge, we see the Forge Commander (Booger) screaming as his pod zooms and crashes into something. Putting on his mask, the Commander breaks out of his pod. He looks around and sees that he is now stranded on the floating debris of a wrecked space ship. He roars in absolute fury!) Commander: I swear, if I EVER get back to The Forge, I'll personally tear that meddlesome malfunctioning TOM unit apart piece by piece with my own bare hands!!! ???: TOM??! (Hearing the voice, The Commander turns around and gasps when he sees a large red blob-like creature towering over him.) The Intruder: YOU KNOW WHERE TOM IS?!! TO BE CONTINUED
TOM: Well we don't have enough resources to build a star class ship. We only have enough parts to maintain a shiet-ranged vessel to collect materials from the planet below. Sara: Scans have revealed it to be uninhabited, but rich in resources for maintaining the Forge. (the extra TOMs leave) Sara: I still have a bad feeling. TOM: Look unless The Intruder, Swayzak or that sentient space storm pop up. I think were in the clear.
You forgot one important detail The Intruder was disintegrated on the absolution during the events of Intruder II when TOM 5 caused the intruder ship core to overload causing an radioactive explosion that destroyed the absolution along with the intruder It a pretty much confirm thing that we’ll never see him again But still this is a pretty interesting idea for a TIE
Now it makes sense why last week's bumpers were messed up. It was the _copy_ of SARA aboard the Vindication that was running the show. Either that or SARA was in the process of copying herself which messed up the bumpers.
The Forge is awesome! Finally we could see new digs for the bumpers! Hoping they could do a menu bumps from The Forge! Nice to have a action packed TIE! “Who’s with me? I mean, whose here not to be with me?”
@@blueart510 Moltar, when he wasn't hosting Toonami he'd hang out with Space ghost, and assist in Coast to coast. With Ghost n Zorak making fun of celebrities. Moltar had an important role when Ghost battled his greatest foe. C LING!
To the escapees about the Vindication,Godspeed to your incredible journey that lies ahead. To Georgia,Farewell you cute little worm. I hope you get a new home to continue your best life. As for the Vindication itself,Sayanora old friend. Till' we meet again...
So, the one thing that I'm curious about after all of this, if the TOMs were created to be servants to these aliens, how did our TOM get on the Absolution? Why was he given free will? And if his name is supposed to stand for "Toonami Operations Module" but the others are all called TOM as well, what does it originally stand for? I'd be interested to see a later TIE that explores these questions, and since TOM and SARA aren't leaving the Forge for awhile, it certainly looks like that might just happen.
Alexander Gonyea well I seems now the event of Toonami Swarm have become retconned and a Twitter statement from the co creator of toonami confirms this web.archive.org/web/20200116211143/ask.fm/Clarknova/answers/157188375529 Maybe it can be seen like this... Since the The Forge is now relieved to be the place TOM was build; the Automaton Construction Platform Gideon Alpha-12 is actually a disruption facility that send TOM units to different planets and they run test on every unit to make sure their programming is in check kind of like a store with it own troubleshooting department On the Toonami wiki it said the base was a “distribution facility, and testing ground for multiple droid models” So it would make sense that the forge makes the TOMs and Alpha-12 was the distribution and testing center for the TOM units (maybe booger was too busy planing for war to even bother checking them himself) Back then TOM was a beta-droid and maybe they made them in the forge till they upgraded the units over time (ironically to look like TOM 5) But as for how TOM got his free will unlike the others is unknown (not counting RUBY) This is my take on it anyway
What a way to end 2019 & the 2010s decade with a bang, TOM, SARA, Georgia & the Clyde's being trapped in the Forge, plan a rescue escape mission with the army of Golden TOMs & putting the cherry on the top, defeat Booger and his crew with the help Georgia and the army of Golden TOMs going in hyperspace with the Vindication, now that the Forge event is over, TOM & SARA is still doing what they love the best, broadcasting Toonami every Saturday nights, this time new home, new bumps graphics and same old tradition. I really enjoy these 6 weeks with the storyline and intense outcome of TOM 5 sacrifice, with that said I gladly said that the Forge is my second favorite Toonami TIE ever right after Intruder II. Thank you Steve Blum, Dana Swanson, Beau Billingslea & Howard Parker for their performance in this great TIE special and can't wait for more Toonami adventures from the Forge space station from now on, until then Merry Christmas & Happy New Year TOM & SARA, see you in the beginning of the 2020s decade, Stay Gold & Later.
To be fair, the Forge is a good place to broadcast from, but it begs the question: what will TOM and SARA do with the deactivated Yellow TOMs in the Forge? Most likely, they'll probably serve the same purpose as the Clydes did previously.
Well TOM 6 2020 is around the corner an so a new chapter of toonami is opened with a new TOM to host it. So we say goodbye to the gold TOMS, the vindication, and to georgia good luck out their.
Uh... TOM? SARA? You realize that station is orbiting a PLANET, right? Most likely that creature's homeworld! There is literally nothing stopping them from launching a ship to investigate why the Forge is no longer transmitting!
I hope we'll see a special T.I.E. event will see the original version of T.O.M. and S.A.R.A. voiced by the original voice cast themselves aboard the classic Absolution. Maybe in a alternate universe when he WASN'T cosumed by the Intruder.
So, I'm kind of split on this TIE: Things I like: TOM 6 fighting "Booger," the station itself and the new logo look cool. Things I didn't like: The possibility of never seeing the other TOMs and Georgia again since I wanted TOM 6 to stay with them. Things I'm mixed on: SARA blowing up the dropships (kind of a mixed message of them saving TOMs people to just blow up Booger's people), just tossing "Booger" into space.
