The Toonami shorts evolved into a whole-blown Cartoon Network Cinematic Universe based on the Checkerboard and Powerhouse era.

Chaos: come in get him if you can, you'll crash into earth longer before you can save him. Ghost: why are you doing this? Chaos: for fun! Hahahahahahaha!
Just a reminder. Metroidman7 cleaned up those Intruder episodes, not me. Don't want anyone to leave him out and forget about his contributions and hard work put into the channel. I just sort of picked up where he left off, but we're still a team ;)
I remember this event! This was the only TIE I ever participated in, as I started watching Toonami that year in March or April (I think.) I was 6 and I had a crush on Swayzak! I don't know why! It just makes me laugh now, but I had a crush on him from when I first saw him in episode 1 all the way to 2004, when I developed a crush on Cyborg from Teen Titans. I think it had something to do with the game being taken off Toonami's website, or Cyborg's "blackness" being really enticing to 8 year old me. (Which is pretty funny now that we fanonically confirmed Swayzak is also black) And also the fact that Cyborg was more readily available on Cartoon Network.
I remember playing that! It tied into the TV interstitials. You helped Tom and Sera out by blasting away at the tech inside the computer gone bad thanks to Swayzak.
Holy shit, did someone come here from my link? Welcome to hell, then. Swayzak is the character talking at 0:56, he's the... ahem... -shameless Spawn copy- Zurg kinda character. Ever since I was 13, he's been my favourite character in anything, and I've created an MCU level of lore surrounding him. I really wanna buy the rights to him because he hasn't been seen since 2004.
Still watching after 19 years. Swayzak is the reason why I hate the Pokémon episode "Electric Soldier Porygon." I wanted there to be a computer virus in the transporter system, instead of the episode just alluding to one and Team Rocket being behind the incident (like they ALWAYS do), because of Swayzak. I wanted there to be a virus that looked and acted like him (in Ash's explanation, there was a literal virus, so that's what they would have went with instead. Swayzak's sidekick anyone?) Swayzak is also the reason why I have a crush on Evox/Venjix from Power Rangers Beast Morphers/RPM (fun fact! Andrew Laing is New Zealander, just like Swayzak's voice actor in the Trapped in Hyperspace game, but Laing doesn't use his accent as Venjix, unlike Swayzak's VA.) I can't believe this one-off character shaped my formative years so much, and I wonder if anyone else besides me and two other commenters have had a crush on him.
I really like to see how Tom defeated Swayzak and got Sara back after getting infected because i can't found the clip anywhere on UA-cam or the other websites i don't understand why they didn't show on screen i guest we'll never know the answer?
It was online, and the game is lost media, because of Cartoon Network stupidly removing it when they renovated their site in July 2004. You forgot that TOM was infected by Swayzak, not Sara. Sara was just offline, and she narrated in the game, as she was still online in the systems. A Clyde saved TOM by shrinking down enough to fit in that thing on his helmet and going into his body to fight Swayzak in his brain. Loved that stage, played it the most.
They were going to do a 1 minute episode, 5 minute finale TOM 3 event, but I guess they didn't want to do bad in the ratings, so they did IGPX instead. Sucks, because we could've had the return of Swayzak. (His actual return was just a very short cameo in the Rez review. With a different voice actor, to boot.) This is actually the best TIE, because it introduces a villain who can speak and think for their own.
He sounds like those 80s cartoon villains that all had scratchy voices. Literally. Starscream, Viroid, Cobra, I watched all those shows on VHS and loved them and I just wondered why they had cute voices when they were meant to be evil. Swayzak kinda had a scratchy voice in the game, but he sounded like a cross between Andross and Temeura Morrison.
And her imaginary friend doesn't. There's a big difference between the two-toned voice in those Saturn commercials and the voice of Swayzak here. However, Danielle seems to think Swayzak sounds like Black Manta from Super Friends...
