History WMG / TronUprising

** Conversely, he may have given Tessler the disc, as a token of Good Faith, and Beck or one of the Garage staff may have the other regenerated-half.

* After failing to free the Grid from the clutches of Clu, Beck is on the run. Looking for a way to escape he comes across a strange looking vehicle that leads into a tunnel. Seeing no other options he climbs in and the vehicle takes him into a bright light that stuns him. On the other side of the tunnel he hears these words: [[Disney/WreckItRalph "Welcome to Game Central Station"]]

** Tagged shows that a program can have more than one helmet.

[[WMG: Anon (aka the System Monitor), Quorra, and other characters from VideoGame/TronEvolution will appear, and WesternAnimation/TronUprising will partly be continuation of that story.]]
* WesternAnimation/TronUprising takes place during and immediately after VideoGame/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.

[[WMG: Uprising is a sequel to Film/TronLegacy]]
* It requires fewer (so far 0) retcons to make this story a sequel instead of a prequel. If this is a prequel, when/how did TRON escape between his shown defeat and capture? If TRON escaped and became active again why wasn't CLU more worried? And if this takes place before Film/TronLegacy, why didn't TRON make contact with Kevin Flynn?

* It also makes the character of Tesler more interesting: is he aware of CLU's defeat, or not? If he is aware, is he in denial, or is he using CLU's name to carve out his own kingdom.
* Definitely jossed. CLU is shown to be alive during the show; since Rinzler is nowhere to be seen, the events of TronLegacy could not have occurred.

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Tron's damage at Clu's hands was progressive]]]]

[[WMG: As mentioned as a FridgeHorror possibility on the main page, Rinzler is Beck, not Tron]]

## 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.

## 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.

* It was said in VideoGame/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.

* 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?

**** The "T" on Rinzler's uniform is barely noticeable and lacks the circle around it that Tron and Beck have
** It could be a nod to the original Film/{{TRON}} movie where the programs have white uniforms; remember, Tron was transferred from ENCOM's original system to Flynn's Grid, as noted in ''Film/TronLegacy''. When Tron gave half of his identity disk to Beck, his uniform turned black like his depiction in TRON: Legacy.

[[WMG: Beck was created by Alan to be VideoGame/TronTwoPointOh]]

[[WMG: The events of Tron:Uprising is all a ploy by Clu to gain (a) Tron's allegiance]]
* The idea behind this is Clu is actually looking for Tron, and has organized the abrasive General Tesler to enforce his will on Argon City. Clu however, wants to use Tesler to incite rebellion and draw out Tron. Not only that, but to have Tron win, then have Tesler become the fall guy and win over "Tron"(As a program or a symbolic person) as a public ally to [[VillainWithGoodPublicity increase his support from the masses.]]

* As for Cyrus [[spoiler: the guard who freed Tron]]. He might have helped Tron set up his base, as the two were last seen in the mountains, with Cyrus dragging Tron to safety. He might have been derrezzed, to further motivate tron, or his disc slowly corrupted him [[spoiler: and turned him into a slave like the rest of the guards]]. This leaves some questions as to why the process would take so long.

* It's unlikely at this point, since at the time the show takes place CLU's top soldier Dyson has been sent on a mission with orders direct from CLU. So the end of TRON Legacy almost certainly hasn't taken place yet.

** At that time, the reprogramming process just started to be implemented, so Cyrus isn't susceptible to that.

** [[RuleOfCool Flynn programs with an X-Factor. X-Factors are cool.]]

[[WMG: Kevin Flynn put something "extra" into the design of the Grid and its programs, which is why they seem to develop spontaneously. ISOs were the ultimate, unexpected outcome of this X-factor.]]
* Beck "drifted" into mechanic work and became a decent fighter without being programmed for it. Likewise, Paige is a medic who developed talents for music and combat. And the Grid itself spontaneously generated the ISOs, something even Flynn himself was not expecting. It's entirely possible that when designing the Grid, Flynn incorporated some sort of advanced (for the time) fuzzy logic programming or neural networking that allowed his programs to develop in spontaneous and unexpected ways. Even Clu's ability to betray and outwit Flynn might be a result of this. Unfortunately, Flynn overlooked incorporating a recognition of this random factor into Clu's directive for perfection.
** There doesn't need to be any kind of "X-factor". This kind of stuff happens on a smaller scale all the time in programming. Hypothetical example: you're programing for a videogame's enemy AI. You put cover all over the place. You give your enemy AI a parameter that makes them stay out of the player characters line of sight. Give them another command to take shots if the player character can't shoot back. Then you program the AI to take cover when nearby it. Bam. A couple seemingly unrelated commands suddenly gives your enemy AI flanking and strafing maneuvers. No hazy programming required.

* [[PreviouslyOn When recounting what had happened before]] the archive's voice makes sarcastic commentary. Clearly the archive is GLaDOS.

* [[spoiler: Remember that subroutine that Beck used for part of episode 7? It not only gives someone extra strength and agility, it changes their personality and makes them more aggressive. If Tron came in to actual contact with it, it could be the cause of making him change to Rinzler. As a matter of fact, the scientist at the beginning of the episode has the same sort of characteristic growls and purrs that Rinzler had once he used the subroutine on himself. Lets also not forget that its' already regenerated itself. So it still exists. Although in order to obtain this MacGuffen, Pavel might actually die in the process. His personality and his ambitiousness really leads this troper to that conclusion. As for the Tron to Rinzler change, I have a feeling that the subroutine will be the cause of that. ]]

[[WMG: This Grid resides in [[{{Portal}} Aperture Science]] ]]

*** Not necessarily. In "Isolated" she asks Beck to hand over his disk, which he grudgingly does. She didn't seem to discern his identity in doing so.

* Along those same lines, Cindy Morgan [[http://yori-lives.blogspot.com has been actively been lobbying to get dealt back into the franchise]], so we might get to learn what happened to [[SequelNonEntity Yori]].
