Synopsis: From the journal of System Monitor Dyson: New System Monitor Rinzler is proving himself to be the perfect weapon for the luminary’s regime. However, he has an unexplained habit of taking random Programs under his wing. Clu is still unable to find out how to stop him.

-

Haven’t been on Tumblr much since at least two months and did not post my A03 fics on it since even longer... sorry, folks.

Now, as to this fic, it’s the first doc I have found of an ENTIRE series of un-connected one-shots about Rinzler getting a bunch of mini-zlers (most often Beck) when trying to cross-post the slew of stuff I have done since last time. hope you enjoy it ^ ^!!!!

Original author’s note:

Amongst the ideas on what to do for a Rinzler story, I had wanted to see how Rinzler and Beck!zler would react to meeting Anon. (I like Anon and rectified!Beck. Why not combine them? 😌)

But now, I have plenty of programs with unexplained fates. So Rinzler declared he would not go bug Alan until he adopted them all, Pokemon-style.

Also, am I the only one annoyed that there doesn’t seem to be an official term for Clu 2.0’s regime besides “the occupation”? If there is, I can’t remember it/haven’t found it by going over wiki pages.

Extracts from the personal diary of System Monitor Dyson:

TC 1002, 35 mTC 16 nanocycle, 

Since the… derezzing of the traitor Tron and his apprentice the Renegade, I am proud to declare the introduction of no less than 5 new System Monitors under my command. Rinzler, Gyrox, Turing, Dellaert and Fogel.

While they all deserve many awards that they voiced no interest in receiving, being entirely dedicated to the creation of the perfect System, I have to talk about Rinzler. A perfect weapon of both eradication of the Uprising and of Propaganda, he is the hero of the masses that come see him in the arena. He is deadly, unfeeling, better than Tron ever was. But I have to comment on one strange dynamic he started.

Sentry T-126, originally named Lightman by Kevin Flynn, was a System Monitor rezzed in TC152. He was remarked for stopping an attempt at destroying the Grid Power supply and became an important member of the Monitors. Unfortunately, he refused to join the rebellion against the Users, and was repurposed. For reasons unknown, as soon as Rinzler saw the face of sentry T-126, Rinzler started to hang with the sentry. Despite multiple... reprimands from the Luminary, Rinzler has continued to sneak out to follow the sentry.

I personally don’t see what Rinzler sees in sentry T-126. As an early subject of reprogramming, there is no personality left inside that Program. As an early sentry, T-126 simply patrols the streets of Tron City. Having the winner of The Games following a common sentry around and trying to get him to rest when T-126 was involved in a fight is ridiculous!

I will propose to Clu to change sentry T-126’s tasks to instead follow Rinzler. If Rinzler wants that blank string of code, he can have it, as long as the population doesn’t comment on it anymore!

-

TC 1048, 41 mTC 12 nanocycles

I can’t believe Rinzler found another sentry he wants to follow around. I must admit that the skills T-126 shows now that Rinzler decided to train him, but when the Luminary was showing us some of the early results for repurposing, Rinzler immediately zoomed in on E-3. 

Seeing how Clu seems to be especially annoyed that Rinzler chose this specific Program as a new pet to keep around, I looked at his story. Beta was a gaming Program created in TC 102 by Flynn. Defeated Clu in tank battle and was the winner of the first Grid Games tournament. Was already missing by TC 249. The coup against Flynn only took place in TC 301. Hummm….

In any case, E-3 is now living in the same suite as T-126. I once tried to enter, but Rinzler came out of nowhere, jumping on me and growling while holding a disc to my throat. I wa s not afraid. But. he reminded me of Tron in that instant. And our first meeting in Argos City.

It appears Tr-Rinzler trained Beta to participate in the first Grid Games. Me and our leader are currently going through our files, making sure that Rinzler doesn’t meet anymore of his former protégés. 

-

TC 1103, 11 mTC, 18 nanocycles

Rinzler… found Anon, the System Monitor who derezzed the ISO virus Abraxas. Apparently, no one wants to stay derezzed on The Grid, given the recent sightings of that User-follower, The Renegade.

Unfortunately, while the return of Anon brings us...  joy, Rinzler was insistent on Anon joining his makeshift, quote-on-quote, "unit". Seeing two...  heroes of The Grid together somehow appeared to be a good idea to the Luminary.

Now, everytime I meet this group of four faceless, mute Programs in the corridor of Clu's tower, I feel like I am to be a prey in a game they are about to play. Their silent communication, so acclaimed by Jarvis, makes it so easy for them to gang up on someone they don't like.

-

TC 1175, 43 mTC, 02 nanocycles

I learned that The Renegade had been captured and... derezzed when I realized there was a new member of Rinzler's crew. Beck, a mechanic from the city of Argos. Apparently, he was of great help to permanently stop the Uprising in this city.

I suppose I should have taken the job of cleaning Argos even  if I didn’t want it, but I thought Rinzler needed to be reminded of… I shouldn’t say. But the fact that I wasn’t told of this earlier. It feels like Clu is putting me and Rinzler on the same level.

NO!!!

Rinzler is supposed to be under my command too, not solely the Luminary’s!

-

TC 1568, 33 mTC, 05 nanocycles

There was, sigh, an update to the repurposing process.

Now, they are all speaking. Rinzler’s band of merry Programs. So many babblers…

They stayed in the arena or away on missions, I was working on the Luminary’s secret projects, we could make it work.

But now. Now?? Beck has decided to create a chat group for the sentries. He can talk for hours on it without interruption. And he is constantly insulting me! Rinzler doesn’t seem to care, but our leader finds it hilarious. A mechanic is destroying my reputation, and he finds me to be the absurd one!

What? Does he think nothing Beck could do would matter? I’m supposed to call him System Monitor Beck, for User’s sake!

-

TC 1569, 39 mTC, 01 nanocycles

System Monitor Cyrus was stopped from commiting a suicide attack against The Luminary’s ship by, urgh. System Monitor Beta.

E-3 then threw System Monitor Cyrus in the repurposing chamber without my or the System Administrator’s permission. I need to convince the Luminary that System Monitor Rinzler is a threat to the regime!

System Monitor Beta is maybe the way to go. The Luminary doesn’t like how he is becoming the masses’ favorite vehicle player in the Grid Games…

-

TC 1643, 08 mTC, 12 nanocycles

Not only was I forced to leave Tron City, one of my best agents, System Monitor Reeves, was given to Rinzler. I had made sure they never met, but Clu decided that he should be given a recompense for kicking a more competent second-in-command kicked out of the High Command. I will have my revenge and prove how incompetent Rinzler truly is as a leader.

-

TC 1843, 41 mTC, 17 nanocycles

I am so happy. The. Luminary. Allowed. System Monitor Rinzler. To show me. Perfection.

There. Was. An. Error. During the process. But I can’t fault. System Monitor Cyrus.

All my fellows. System Monitors. Are. Programs. I am happy to serve with and. Under.

System Monitor. Beck is telling me. Stories. Of how wonderful System Monitor Rinzler. Is. I hope I shall see. His Perfection.

Maybe not to the. Extent of. System. Monitor. Cyrus. System Monitor Cyrus. Would do. Anything for. System Monitor Rinzler. Including. Leading a rebellion. Against. Clu.

-

TC 2043, 21 mTC, 03 nanocycles

Prisoner Clu and System Monitor Beck have finally managed to clean System Monitor Tron of any remnants of his repurposing. He cried of joy. Not as much as when he saw what he did to System Monitor Anon, Lightmann, Beck, Beta, and to The Grid in general. This is why I love so much to work for System Monitor... Tron.

I will need some tweaking to accept the change of Superior officer. But they need it more. They are the ones System Monitor Tron cares about the most. System Monitor Beck especially. I would destroy The Grid to make System Monitor Tron’s wishes come true.

Sigh. I will probably be de-repurposed too. Then, System Monitor Tron will have to arrest me for what I did willingly. I think I am regretting what I did more than the quote-on-quote true System Monitor Dyson ever will.

But he has such a strong group of System Monitors that will remain loyal to him even once cured that I am not worried for him.

I just couldn't find *any* resume for Evolution, DS edition. The only let’s play I found was abandoned, and the only review I found had the critic admit that he didn’t read the story through because he found it was too much info-dumps and skipped the dialogues. I had to guess the plot from fragmentary sources.

[h0l1d4yh0rr0r]

I still don't understand how Disney wants me to believe these are all the same guy

[wynandcore]

rip Gibson you would’ve loved weed

[pantherpilz]

I'm convinced Tron would've fought Clu right there, had Flynn not interrupted.

[jestercake]

It’s about time I’ve added another fandom on my archive! TRON! I’ve always loved Disney’s Tron, especially the 1982 film, but I’ve also loved what they’ve done with the style of Tron:legacy and uprising. I decided to add onto my own adaptation to the comics Tron: betrayal and Tron evolution, seeing that these characters are Radia, Clu, and Jalen(Abraxas). You’ve got these three ambassadors of the grid, and Clu who doesn’t like to share power.

[mewtwowarrior]

This is a companion piece to @trong-legacy's post on Team Green from Walt Disney World's Tron Lightcycle / Run, expanding on the various character models used.

I've compiled the character models from several different sources, comparing different versions of them.

All of the models seem to be based on the ones found in Tron: Evolution and TRON RUN/r, so I'll be showing all of them off.

Picture only version of this post

All right, for starters, we're gonna talk about the makeup of Team Green for a moment.

The original group shot of Team Green features twelve different programs.

There's also a wall showing eight more programs and then three more programs get individual bios.

Interestingly, the eleven named programs don't match up to the original twelve, so there's potentially up to twenty three different Team Green programs at this time, if they're all unique.

Disney has also said that there'd be more stories from Team Green, so there may be even more out there in the future. Interestingly, they mention the twelve while showing the original group shot, but I'm not sure if that's an oversight, considering the named programs are quite a bit different.

There's different helmets between all the characters, but I'm going to refer to them as their body types, since the circuits don't change much.

The group picture has: 1 Heavy Sentry, 2 Siren, 2 Clu, 2 Rinzler, 2 Quorra, 1 Anon, 1 Scout Sentry, and 1 Sentry.

The individual pictures have: 2 Scout Sentry, 1 Black Guard, 2 Anon, 1 Clu, 1 Sentry, 2 Quorra, 1 Heavy Sentry, and 1 Rinzler.

There's some crossover there, but, there's also different helmets, which makes it hard to figure out exactly how many unique programs there are.

-

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files | TRON: Evolution Voice Lines | "Stay rezzed, program"

I'm starting off with Tron here. His Lightcycle / Run Rinzler model is based off the TRON RUN/r Rinzler model. The RUN/r model has a few unique quirks, and so does the Evolution one, making it fairly easy to tell them apart.

On Team Green, two out of the three Rinzler models keep Tron's signature T circuits (as does one of the Siren models).

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files | TRON: Evolution Voice Lines

Quorra has, by far, the most amount of models, with three different ones in RUN/r, the Bitstream model in Fortnite, and is used several times in Lightcycle / Run.

Interestingly, @trong-legacy and I discovered that both Evolution and RUN/r forgot to light up her vertical circuit on her chest, while both Lightcycle / Run and Fortnite remembered it.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files | TRON: Evolution Voice Lines

Clu's model is somewhat interesting as his helmet is used for several other Team Green members.

At the time of publishing the look at Team Green, @trong-legacy and I hadn't been able to source Clu's helmet, speculating that it was perhaps from the multiplayer DLC model.

@cmdrjanus-2 has access to the TRON: Evolution models, thanks to this pack at SFMLab and I asked her about Clu's helmet and she kindly set it up for me so I could look at it. We're not sure if it's the exact same as the Evolution one, but I greatly appreciate her help!

However, shortly after publication, I found one scene in Evolution with him wearing his helmet, right around when he stages his coup. However, the circuit lights on his helmet are not lit up.

Like Quorra, his model is used quite a few times throughout Lightcycle / Run, but he's got a different helmet in most of them.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files

I was glad to seen Anon from TRON: Evolution again.

I was unsure of who the yellow model there belonged to, until I saw this post and realized that the circular hand circuits belong to him.

The Siren is a fairly interesting one, because there's a few unique aspects to her.

The Siren in TRON RUN/r is specifically labeled as Gem, and the Team Green versions appear to be based on her.

One of the Team Green Sirens has Tron's T for some reason, which is kinda neat, especially since she's potentially the only female program to wear Tron's circuits. (@trong-legacy and I joked that she's my Tron OC Ark, who isn't a Siren, but is a Renegade.)

The Siren is also the only character in the queue to be portrayed by a real person, instead of a CGI one.

At the Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai, they have a different Siren in the queue.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files

The Sentry is the most basic enemy in TRON: Evolution. They're former System Monitors, which is why I included the original System Monitor in this image. They share a few circuit details, but the ones in Lightcycle / Run are definitely the Occupation Sentry version.

I think it's neat that they also brought back the Sentries and their variants. There's some Sentries in TRON: Legacy, but all of the different variants are only in Evolution.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files

The Scout Sentry is a more advanced enemy in TRON: Evolution, but, like the Sentries, used to be a System Monitor.

@trong-legacy noticed that the Lightcycle / Run version of their helmets was colored in slightly differently, so you can still kinda tell where the original split was.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files

Like the Scout Sentry, the Heavy Sentry is an advanced enemy that used to be a System Monitor in TRON: Evolution.

TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files

In TRON: Evolution, the Black Guard are modified Sentries, which means that they also used to be System Monitors. They're a fairly dangerous enemy when you encounter them.

-

That's all of the TRON Lightcycle / Run characters for now! Hopefully Disney will add more details about Team Green over time and I'll be able to add them to this collection.

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!

Rest in peace Cindy, you will be greatly missed. 😥

You guys ever think about how all writers for any tron media wanna turn the franchise into a different direction

Tron 1982 was a movie made by people hopeful about the future in technology that explores religious parallels and is kind of corny with dorky characters (which isnt a bad thing... its cute)

Then Tron Legacy wants to be more cyberpunk-y and edgy and lean more into the We Gotta Defeat The Dictator elements from the first movie rather than the lingering Does God Even Know We're Real themes and it's just action and exposition with like three emotional moments

But then Evolution proposes does God CARE about us and CAN this Dictator even be overthrown and even Betrayal whips around and says guy maybe Digital Hitler was kinda right

And then comes beautiful Uprising where the Dictator isn't even a person or an idea to overthrow, but some entity that has grown beyond what we can fight against and has left us with only a small rebellion as to what we can do about our situation because God is Dead

And then Identity pulls the rug AGAIN and claims God ISNT dead he just Left Us To Rot or maybe There Is No God do you see what I mean when I talk about the clashing visions I understand some of these portray multiple perspectives but idk I'm kinda tired of not being able to like tron and having to like a certain version I've built for myself because the franchise can't keep consistent storytelling

Feel free to disagree though idk it's 11:30 pm

[dumbtronaus]

AU that Flynn left a tape with a bunch of songs on the Grid. He showed them to Tron and the warrior likes to listen to them occasionally. Sometimes, he'll even hum along if he's in a good mood. His favorite one he doesn't really understand: the ideas of "hurricanes" and "Jamacian vacation" made no sense, but he loved humming as the singer sang "What would Jimmy Buffett do?"

[troninthemiddle]

Clu's whole snickering mad supervillain quirk melted the moment Radia exclaims he's not capable of understanding loss.

(What caused Clu's loss?)
