You think TOM 6 be a Fusion? Just thinking about Reckless' Theory. Possibly with my own twists. Like TOM 5 could get damaged and killed, and the TOM AI gets downloaded into TOM Simpson, and 2 AIs would probably be too much for one TOMski's Brain. So, they's have to tinker with the TOM body and modify Homer into a whole new TOM 6 Body. What do you think? Am I going nuts?
I was thinking TOM Jr would Fuse with TOM whole the other Yellow TOMs gain sentience and take over for the Clyde's. I wasn't thinking about a Hive mind or anything.
You think they'll go back and save him, rebuild and upgrade him into TOM 6? And how many weeks until TOM 6? 1 or 2?
I agree on the other Yellow TOMs replacing the Clydes.
And Did I already ask how sad you feel about Swarm no longer being Toonami Canon? Do you hope somehow, someway, RUBY can become canon again?
TOM 6 being a fusion would make sense depending on how this goes. My thought was a hive mind, but I could also see using the parts of other TOMs to rebuild TOM 5. Or TOM 5 is abandoned and gets rebuilt--and bitter--that he was left behind (think Obito in Naruto mixed with Intruder II). Or Piccolo and Nail fusing.
I think TOM 6 will be whenever The Forge is scheduled to end.
I’m annoyed how Toonami makes these deep-cuts all the way back to the Moltar era and the first Intruder arc, while the other content from online like Swarm and RUBY are excluded. There’s a lot to pull from for the sake of Easter eggs, at least.
As an aside, I have no idea what they are even doing with the continuity anymore. There shouldn’t be a Yellow TOM that looks just like TOM 5, right? Any mass-produced TOM would look like TOM 1, so I don’t get this potential retcon. I’m sure there is a way to explain it away--but by this point in “The Forge,” it feels like continuity regarding TOM’s look is thrown out the window.
