TOM

TOM (or "Toonami Operation Module") is a robot who hosts Toonami, an action block that once ran on Cartoon Network from 1997-2008 and now runs on Adult Swim since 2012.
==History==
TOM's block host action shows like Samurai Jack and Dragon Ball Z. Moltar was the first host of Toonami, but he was replaced by TOM. The first TOM hosted the show aboard the Absolution for over a year until September 2000 when he was destroyed by The Intruder. Sara, the Absolution's AI, downloaded TOM 1's memory matrix into a new unit on the ship. The new TOM, dubbed TOM 2 , saved the ship by separating the starboard engine, now almost fully consumed by The Intruder, by setting charges and blowing apart the connecting section of the engine. After bringing the Absolution to Startower for repairs, he continued to host the show for 3 years. In March 2003, Sara was stolen by a space pirate who made his way into the Absolution. TOM 2 went after him only to be killed during their encounter. Friendly robots found his remains in a scrap pile and repaired him into a new body, his most famous model, dubbed TOM 3. TOM 3 was eventually able to save Sara and continued to host the show for exactly four years. He was unexplainably replaced with a newer version, dubbed TOM 4, and Sara was removed. TOM 4 hosted the show until cancellation on September 20, 2008. His last words were "Until we meet again, stay gold...Bang."
===Four years later...===
Nearly four years later, Toonami returned as an April Fools stunt on Adult Swim before its official return on May 26, 2012. This was done by popular demand. And TOM 3 returned as host.
