Toonami: Endgame is an online Toonami comic that was released in two parts on Toonami.com. Episode 1 was released on March 10, 2003, followed by episode 2 on March 31st.[1][2] The comic details how the space pirate Orcelot Rex kidnapped SARA, the ship's A.I., and destroyed the original Absolution and TOM 2. Unlike the previous shift between TOM 1 and TOM 2, there was no Total Immersion Event created to tell this story, so the comic was used to show how TOM 3 and the Absolution Mk. II came to be.

Plot[]

Episode 1: Enter Orcelot[]

An unknown force is attacking the Absolution, eating through its hull, and heading right for the bridge. TOM arms himself but is overwhelmed by the intruder and his army of robots called "Skurges". The intruder reveals his goal, SARA, which he takes as his prize while a beaten TOM can only watch. With SARA stolen, TOM jumps on his cycle-like vessel to give chase just as the Absolution explodes. On the enemy ship, Orcelot Rex reveals his plans to SARA including how she will help him achieve his goal. However, TOM attacks during their discussion. TOM fails in his attempt but surprises Orcelot with an explosive, damaging his armor. Orcelot escapes the blast and is revealed to be a small tentacle creature who scurries over to a much larger suit of armor. TOM is destroyed easily by Orcelot, who tosses him down the garbage chute.

Episode 2[]

TOM is in pieces and tumbling down a chute towards Orcelot's garbage dump. After landing in the dump, TOM is revealed to be alive. He is helped by the Dronomeks, the former pilots of Orcelot's craft and now his slaves. The Dronomeks reveal that SARA has asked them to rebuild TOM. TOM is upgraded, making him stronger and quicker, dubbing himself TOM 3. TOM is now ready to face Orcelot Rex again so the Dronomeks give him a new secret weapon, a fork. TOM is skeptical about this weapon but the Dronomeks explain that Orcelot has one weakness: a deactivation switch right in the middle of his forehead. As Orcelot threatens SARA, TOM appears and jumps on Orcelot's shoulders. After a skirmish, TOM is able to stab the fork into Orcelot's forehead causing him to explode. The Dronomeks are now free from Orcelot's tyranny and gift TOM and SARA with a brand new Absolution.
