[[WMG: Both Tron ''and'' Beck are being used as UnwittingPawns by Clu]]
* To combine both the first WMG and the one just above, Clu didn't sloppily "leave Tron for dead", he basically went and infected Tron with [[TheVirus The "Rinzler" Virus]], and is sitting back and waiting for it to gradually do it's work.
Because how better to bring down an organised rebellion than through it's leader one day waking up as your loyal servant. Plus, the pilot focused a lot on belief in Tron, and much damage will it do to those like Beck who trust in him if he turns around and stabs them in the back?

* [[spoiler: Anon]] appearing probably wouldn't be likely because of [[spoiler: his death at the end of ''Evolution'']], but Quorra would make for a stellar cameo since Beck may not be willing to reveal that the real Tron's alive and she may only think he's a very good pretender.




to:

** Alternately, he may not be rectified ''yet'', but will perform a HeroicSacrifice to save Beck and his friends which results in his capture. Clu then decides to partially rectify Tron so his skills will remain and some part of him will survive to save the Flynns and Quorra in ''Legacy''.

## There has been no in-story justification for Beck's unusual vitality, so it may also be a case of the writers making it more common, to allow more Badass vs Badass fights, rather than the curbstomps we see in Legacy between Clu and Rinzler and Tron and any mook who is unfortunately to share the screen with them.

* TronUprising takes place during and immediately after TronEvolution, so there's no reason not to. Sure, Beck's plot is the first and most important one in the show, but bringing in elements from that game would be fun and make for some nice continuity backfiling. And if they can get MandyMoore and Elijah Wood(!) as voice actors, it's not impossible for them to get Olivia Wilde behind a microphone.

*** Although Tron (even wounded) effectively curbstomps Beck, so it could just be that Beck is Badass only compared to other ordinary programs, not Ubers like Clu and Rinzler, or Users like Sam and Kevin.

## The most obvious piece of evidence is that Beck has taken on Tron's identity, complete with the T sign on his chest.



## It's not strong proof, but Tron's fake-out Clu supporter disguise looks a lot like Rinzler, and his voice has a similar modification to Rinzler/Tron in ''Legacy'' also.

* Her bio mentions she lost her "family" when CLU started his rebellion and this is why she is loyal to Tessler for rescuing her. But what if he didn't? Maybe Paige was ISO that fought so well that Tessler decided to take her alive and reprogram her into a LivingWeapon. It would explain her loyalty to Tessler despite knowing what an utter bastard he is. It's likely that Tessler is hiding Paige's real nature from CLU because his plans hinge on having a loyal and competent supporter to back him up because he believes the reason CLU fears ISOs is because he fears they could destroy him. If Beck is also an ISO it could lead to some interesting complications down the road.

[[WMG: White Tron?]]
* For some reason, Tron is depicted in a white uniform in this series, both in current day and flashback scenes, contradicting how he was seen in Legacy in the flashback. The white uniform is apparently passed on by a special Identity Disc piece, which Tron gives to Beck. Is it just a casual RetCon to make Tron more distinctive, or does it have a deeper meaning?
** People recognize Beck as Tron even in his black uniform, so apparently he did wear black sometimes.
*** Which is actually kind of odd, come to think of it. How come no one recognizes ''Rinzler'' as Tron, if the uniform is that distinctive?

* The "Tron" training Beck is, pardon the ActorAllusion, is as much a falsehood as [[BabylonFive Talia Winters]]. Tron already said that he was badly injured and left for dead, with no explanation for how he escaped Clu. By having Beck start a resistance movement, Clu will be able to have a young, naive, and inexperienced Program rallying his enemies from hiding and making them all the easier to round up and destroy.

** Same way Flynn and Ram (and later, Tron) were left for dead in the [[{{Tron}} first film]]. Enough damage or a "NoOneCouldSurviveThat" and they'll just assume the enemy is de-rezzed. no point in checking for a body, either.

** An interesting question, but how exactly does a program get 'left for dead' on the Grid? They disintegrate into voxels when they die. If they haven't disintegrated, they're not dead (yet).

* It was said in TronEvolution that Programs carry out their functions, and are limited by their parameters, unable to do much growing past said parameters and directives. Beck "falls into" mechanic work. He says he's only a half-decent mechanic, and furthermore says he hasn't been on The Grid for very long. Given that he's making a lot of leaps of logic and faith, actively rebelling, and seems both naive and wise, it's possible that part of his rebellion against Clu stems from the fact that he's marked for death, even if he didn't resist.

[[WMG: As mentioned as a FridgeHorror possibility on the main page, Rinzler is Beck, not Tron]]
* Items that might be interpreted to support it:
## Tron will apparently be training Beck how to fight.
## Beck also seems to have 2 Identity Discs, his own original and his friend's.
## In Tron: Legacy, during the flashback, Tron's fighting style is brutal and direct, dispatching his opponents with a minimum of effort and time. But Rinzler's fighting style is flashy and acrobatic, just like Beck's.
*** Granted, it has been a loooooong time between the two, and Rinzler's style may have evolved into the acrobatics. Also, the main place we see Rinzler fight is in the games, and he may have been deliberately putting on a show for the audience.
## If Uprising is Canon, it would be difficult to reconcile Tron's permanent injuries allowing him to be as effective a fighter as Rinzler is, unless Clu is able to heal him somehow.
## Beck survives crashing into a light ribbon, which has been seen to kill other programs. Rinzler, Tron and Clu all are shown to have similar vitality.
* Things that may be interpreted against it:
## Uprising may turn out to not be Canon or in the same continuity with Legacy.
## Rinzler speaks in Tron's voice and says Tron's catchphrase at the end of Legacy.
*** Although that may be justifiable depending on how well trained/programmed/brainwashed Beck is.
## There has been no in-story justification for Beck's unusual vitality, so it may also be a case of the writers making it more common, to allow more Badass vs Badass fights, rather than the curbstomps we see in Legacy between Clu and Rinzler and Tron and any mook who is unfortunately to share the screen with them.
