* WhamEpisode: Before ''The Intruder'', the character of [[RobotBuddy TOM]] and the setting of the [[CoolStarship Absolution]] were just window dressing for the programming block; this miniseries established that the world of Toonami is in fact a narrative world in its own right, where TOM can have his own adventures just like the characters in the shows that Toonami broadcasts. There have been several miniseries and tie-in comics set in the Toonami-verse in the years since. ''The Intruder'' also formally introduced SARA -- who has been a mainstay ever since -- and introduced the Clyde drones -- which have been iterated on every few years since. TOM's ability to [[TheNthDoctor save a copy of himself and download it into new bodies]] was also established in this miniseries.

* FasterThanLightTravel: Averted. While ships in the universe of Toonami can still move faster than what our technology so far can, judging by TOM seeing a travel to a repair shop with a one-engine ''Absolution'' as practically being right in the backyard when SARA states it's two light-years away (with TOM saying it would only take about a month for them to arrive).

'''''The Intruder''''' is an original mini-series that aired on Creator/{{Toonami}} throughout the month of September of 2000, consisting of 5 episodes ranging roughly 2 to 3 minutes in length.
TOM is having a conversation with SARA, the A.I. of the Absolution, when SARA receives an intruder alert. The Clydes are sent out to investigate, and discover that the hull of the ship has been breached. TOM, armed with a laser pistol, goes on foot to find out who has invaded the ship.
Referred to as a "Toonami Immersion Event" (or T.I.E., for short), the mini-series served as a transition between eras, switching TOM from a pudgy Bomberman-esque model voiced by Creator/SonnyStrait to a leaner and more muscular model voiced by Creator/SteveBlum.

!!''The Intruder'' provides examples of:
* AllCGICartoon: As with Toonami's bumpers, the entire series is animated entirely in CG.
* AudienceParticipation: After the Intruder was expelled from the ship by way of the engine being ejected, the official Toonami website would allow viewers to pick a new engine for the ship.
* BadassBaritone: TOM starts off being voiced by Sonny Strait. By the end, TOM is voiced by the deeper-sounding Steve Blum.
** As with all Toonami promos, the promos for this series had Peter Cullen doing the narration.

* BlobMonster: The title villain, the Intruder.
* Handguns: TOM has one equipped early in the series.
* TheHero: TOM again.
* JetPack: TOM puts one on before going outside the ship to investigate the breach.
* {{Keet}}: TOM shows shades of this after the Absolution gets its engine replaced, excited to pilot the ship again with a new engine.
-->'''TOM:''' ''This is awesome!''
* SapientShip / SpaceshipGirl: Alluded to when TOM needs to order another engine for the ship, as he consults with SARA and asks if she likes the choice presented.
* SequelHook / TheEndOrIsIt: After the Absolution flies off into space with a new engine, the Intruder floats across the screen while "The End?" appears.
