BlogMickey.com's First Look at Team Green

bitbrain's reply to chaostructure-crafts's post talking about the Lightcycle Font
The current download home of the Lightcycle Font

Around when @trong-legacy and I were looking at the TRON Lightcycle / Run Team Green roster, BlogMickey.com posted pictures of the queue on Twitter, and I realized that the team logos for Blue, Orange, Red, and Yellow mostly matched the first letter of their team name in the Lightcycle font.
There's an alternate version of the Lightcycle font in the Tron: Legacy: Reprogrammed book, which was posted by chaostructure-crafts.
So, I took all three versions and put them together to compare them.
Team Blue is the only one that matches both versions of the font, the other teams only match the downloadable one.
Team Green is it's own deal, the other teams were made for the Shanghai version that opened in 2016, while Team Green is a sponsorship area made exclusively for Walt Disney World.
Because Team Green came along later, it doesn't match the other team symbols at all. In either version of the Lightcycle font, the G symbol looks strongly like a G, whereas the Team Green symbol does not, and doesn't match any symbol on either version of the font. This could be due to the fact that it's an Enterprise sponsorship, and the G symbol could confuse things.
I think it's really neat that most of the symbols match the established font, it's a cool little detail!

Still thinking about the legendary “Energy Bytes” stand. Which has a great name and nothing else. No energy. No foods really just unrelated and mediocre… bao?? For some reason?
Disney hire me:
Energy — it’s a drink. (ABSOLUTELY NO BLUE POWERADE I BEG) a obnoxious neon light blue with a glow cube. Potentially alcoholic.
Bit bytes — Bit but it’s either rock candy bites or gummy bites. It makes itself and it’s not that hard to do.
Popcorn— also self explanatory, you could do a bit more theming and mention Alan or Roy (yes there’s a popcorn cart at cool ship but the grid doesn’t exactly have food and this ties into the theming)
Derezzed cupcake — or any sort of baked treat. Covered in pop rocks as visual representation.
Pretzel discs — I’m running out of ideas but it’s just a new pretzel shape and I think that’s funny
Add a bit more theming too. Like specify “Users only” because it’d severely mess up a programs function to eat (besides energy that’s the one cross … species? World? Thing) that sort of thing. I keep talking about this because it’s a pretty big deal when Disney parks fall short on something. You NEED to go all in with your food stand considering you chose that over a non shared gift shop.
These are actually super fun to come up with, if you have any share them!

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.

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!
