The only reason you should need helmets, Lurkinginhorror, is to follow guidelines set by OSHA, or as a requirement by an employer, or the law of the state.

a floater, is an object, such as a tool, or material on a construction site that is not fastened or secured properly, and they pose a potential threat to everyone near them. So construction workers usually take thier breaks together, to prevent anything that is set aside from falling on them, while on break.

My reason is, I dislike helmets, cuz the worst that may happen to you is become digitized. I just dont see the armorment thing as serving the purpose.. Maybe some UV radiation proofing, or some acetylcholine to prevent neuropathy, You dont have a disk or a weapon outside, so you'd be bringing the closet with you just to make ends.

But, dont get me wrong, I see the digitized universe as being a big machine, so in some moments, you could exchange armorment.... but untill then..order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

I don't know if you could consider Jet to be wearing a helmet, in the game. That small part that covered the back of his head, wasn't really a helmet.

As for the use of helmets in the other versions of the game. To me, it was painfully obvious BVG was trying to appeal to the Halo crowd. And that strategy completely backfired. You can't cash in on the Halo craze, just by sticking helmets on your characters. Not to mention you basically offend fans of Tron in the process by putting in crap just for marketing's sake, that has no place being there.

That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is found within the subroutines. Technically, Jet was outfitted (depending on choice) with different pieces of armor. We never see them in the cut scenes, but correct me if I am wrong, you never see any of the other weapons represented in the cut scenes either, even if one was clearly in Jet's hand.

I think it was obvious to most of us. And it was a terrible choice, I believe. I prefer helmets, but not ones that look so little like they belong in Tron. The marketing was horribly unsubtle. However, it should be recognized that some marketing is necessary. Some aspects will always exist for the sake of marketing and nothing else. That alone is not inherently bad. What is bad is when the implementation for such choices are handled without ANY consideration for quality. So much effort was put into the creation of a fully realized and incredibly beautiful rendition of the computer world, then a Halo helmet is slapped on the guy. That did not work for me.

I think it's a given that the helmets serve no distinct purpose. However, why would sentient life within a computer require any form of clothing? Or two legs? Or transportation? They (the helmets) were a part of the film, they were key in creating a lasting impression on what Tron is to a generation. When Tron appears in pop culture, it is generally with a helmet and a tunic. Why give Batman a cape? He certainly does not need one. Oh, creatively you can explain it away, but it's all rationalization.

Also, when I was a kid, I always assumed that was just their heads. Not a form of clothing. These are creatures of light and thought, their forms are alien to our own, filtered through the eyes of Flynn.

Oh, my apologies, I thought that helmets were on all of the character models throughout the Xbox version, I honestly never heard anything otherwise. I thought of the body suit look as the most appealing version, instinctively..

Um, yeah, I meet so many people. Thanks, I'm sure I'd find that a respectable response under the circumstances.

True, the reason exists, if it's rationalization, that's another perspective.

Yea, I'd probably think along those lines at first sight too. I remember you saying this before. I think we all have a niche for Tron in some fasion.

Thanks for the update DaveTron. I'll let you know if I'm smoking crackahol next time, so you aren't missing out.

The helmets only appeared on the characters in Multiplayer, on the Xbox version.

For the GBA version, I think you only saw Tron with a helmet during the cutscenes, which obscured his face.

The Lightcycle Gamebot (aka Lightcyclist or just Gamebot) can be seen here:

In the pre-production artwork, the Gamebot had a helmet. But this didn't make it into the game, for some reason.

Was the fact that SLG was going to do a Tron comic really public news mid-last year? I found this blog entry, seemingly dated June 11, 2005:

Which points to this article:

Dang, I guess I had totally forgotten if we did already hear this news mid-last year? But I don't remember anyone posting the news back then...

Tron (bi-monthly, full color, $3.50, issue #1 coming in spring, 2006) “Tron will have elements of the original movie in it; and Disney of course, wants to push some attention towards their newest version of Tron, which is coming out next year. The comic that we’re doing begins six months after the story that takes place in the recent videogame, and continues from there. Assuming this is successful, we’ll be going back and bridge the gap between the first movie and the game.”

I think I've seen this before somewhere though:

Just to let everyone know, I've just spotted a new interview with our very own lurkinghorror over at Newsarama. Heres the link to the interview

There's also some new preview pages for everyone to see:
