Origin

TOM (short for Toonami Operations Module) originates from the 1997 animated programming block Toonami. In that media, he is presented as the host of Toonami, as well as the protagonist of the fictional universe within it. He is also the captain of the various inccarnations of the Absolution, an intergalactic broadcast vehicle, and operates it along with his A.I. companion SARA. From his vessel, TOM announces shows, occasionally rates new video games, and gives advice to the viewer through short speeches. Described as a personality matrix downloaded into a robot shell, TOM himself is a sardonic wisecracker with a flair for throwing one-liners, but nonetheless possesses sage-like wisdom.

Originally believed to be a Beta-Droid chosen by Moltar to be the captain of the GPS Absolution Mk. I, TOM was later revealed to be a rogue unit from a mass-produced line of mindless slave robots working for the commander of a space station called the Forge. Over the course of his life, TOM has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times, and now has a total of seven iterations, with those being TOM 1, TOM 2, TOM 3, TOM 4, TOM 3.5, TOM 5, and the most recent iteration, TOM 6.
