A Total Immersion Event, often shortened to simply T.I.E., was an adventure featuring TOM and SARA aboard the Absolution, however the fourth T.I.E. did not feature them. There were a total of four Total Immersion Events during Toonami's run on Cartoon Network and one is set to air during its run on Adult Swim in 2015.

The first T.I.E., The Intruder, took place in 2000. An intruder invaded the Absolution, and killed TOM 1. TOM 2 was born.

The second T.I.E., Lockdown, took place in 2001. The Absolution got trapped in a tractor-beam, and TOM tried his best to get the ship out before the beam sucked the ship into a trash compacter ship in 178 years, 17 days, 10 hours, and 12 minutes.

The third T.I.E., Trapped in Hyperspace, took place in 2002. SARA was attacked by a virus, so TOM and a Clyde had to get rid of the virus before it made the ship crash into Earth.

The fourth T.I.E., in September 2003 wasn't a TOM and SARA adventure, it was a 5 episode micro series of what would eventually become Toonami's first and only original series IGPX that premiered 2 years later with a very different premise.

The fifth T.I.E, The Intruder II, is set to premiere in 2015. The sequel to The Intruder will feature the same villainous blob as the original but no further information is known at this point.
