Hey everyone, I'm just getting re-acquainted with the Tron world and the "Is Rinzler really Tron?" speculation has fueled my renewed interest even more.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it before, but if you look at Rinzler's identity discs they have both orange (the inner ring) and blue (the outer edge) on them whereas all the other discs I've seen in the trailers have only one color. I have the Rinzler promo card from Tron Night and you can see this very clearly. I don't know if that means he's Tron, but it does suggest some kind of double identity.

all signs point to who he truly is, especially with all the fanfare released. I won't go into any further detail but it's essentially a given at this point. The only question is "How" did he become who he is? it's the back story that everyone is highly anticipating, I know I am.

If anyone has read part one of the Marvel prequel TRON BETRAYAL, then you realize Tron is Rinzler. Hopefully issue two explains how he became Rinzler. At the end of issue one the seeds of an alliance between Clu and Tron against Flynn are planted.

Hmm, no explicit reveal in "Betrayal, part 2"...nice. By the way, I just want to commend the Tron Legacy story team for dragging us out so far on the whole "Where is Tron? Is he Rinzler?" question. It's like we are all pretty sure he and Rinzler are one and the same, but the compelling "Exhibit A" is still just beyond our grasp...that moment where the helmet comes off and a familiar face stares back OR the moment that circuitry changes color to orange and the helmet comes on...

Good to see mention of Tron's loyalty to Flynn. It struck me that a poster above tried to claim Tron and Clu are entering into a conspiracy against Flynn. I think more likely what is going on is that our favorite security program is getting duped by Clu into following him, even when Flynn is conspicuously "absent". Perhaps this sows doubt in Tron's mind until some point in Tron Evolution or, perhaps even Tron Legacy (I say that based on a line Kevin Flynn uttered in the Tron Night footage).on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineorder abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I've tried explaining that a few posts back that all signs/fanfare that's currently out point out to his identity.

After playing Evolution and seeing what Clu did to Giles, imho its obvious Rinzler is a reprogrammed Tron. Just saying.

I'm sure it will be cool either way though. If Tron is Rinzler I think the comic really indicates that he did not join Clu willingly. Perhaps he was "rectified"? Henceforth, the solution is to rectify the Rectifier . And that's a CLU right there. And a speculation to boot.

In Tron Betrayal, Flynn did say that creating Clue could tear the grid apart. Clue is the key to returning Tron and the grid back to it's original state. The question is whether he is to be destroyed or converted (rectified?)? Some tyrannical leaders have to be destroyed while some surrender. I've never heard of any having a change of heart.

From reviews of the movie, they leave me with the impression that Tron is only part of a flashback. How does that play into Rinzler being Tron? Maybe, destroying Rinzler (Tron) works because there is a version of him on the Incom server.
