Toonami was a part of my teenage years when I saw it on Cartoon Network (as it introduced me to cartoons like Thundercats, and even anime like Dragonball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, and Ruroni Kenshin). Back in the year 2000 (during the era when Toonami was aimed at the TV Y7 crowds),
In this miniseries, which is the block's first Total Immersion Event (or T.I.E. for short), it was a massive event sponsored by Nintendo, with a contest tied in where the grand prize is a trip to Japan, with runners-up winning various prizes from the video game company. In total, eight episodes were aired.
The story of The Intruder is that TOM 1 and SARA are in the middle of conversation when an intruder alert is triggered. Sending out the Clydes, a hole in the hull of the starboard engine is discovered, and soon, TOM 1 is going up against a red blob that eats anything and everything in its path.
As any Toonami fan knows, this would mark Steve Blum's debut in hosting Toonami's robot host. replacing Sonny Strait. The first six episodes aired during the week of Sepetember 18 - 22, which tells the story of how TOM 2 came to be. The final two episodes were aired the next month, as the episode content was determined by the adformentioned contest, which viewers entered by voting for a new engine for the Absolution. The story has a lot of action, and the CGI is good for its time. This is one I recommend watching, and it can be found in various places on the internet.
