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 original run on Cartoon Network and a new one aired during its run on Adult Swim.

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

The second T.I.E., Lockdown, aired in September 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, aired in September 2002. SARA was attacked by a virus, so TOM and a Clyde had to get rid of the virus before it made the Absolution 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, aired from November to December 2015. The sequel to The Intruder featured the same villainous blob as the original attacking TOM 5 and SARA, only this time having merged with the remains of TOM 1's body.
