TRON Legacy already explained it. He was tricked by CLU 2.0, and then repurposed into Rinzler. This occurs during the scene in Legacy when Sam, Quorra and Kevin Flynn are eating dinner. TRON Uprising also recreated this scene explaining the exact same thing, and IIRC, TRON Evolution shows this too - it has been awhile since I played Evolution.
@ but it doesn’t happen of screen. Legacy implies that he became Rinzler after that fight however Uprising sort of retconned it and have Tron continue to stay active on the grid at least a while after the purge
You can tell the people who worked on T:U actually loved what they were working on & made a quality show & it was cancelled. Now Disney just churns out trash.
It’s so sad how Disney did us dirty and never finished the game! They intentionally ran Uprising into ground with their crappy marketing and horrible time slots. It was on purpose. Why would they kill something so good?
Because even after owning the TRON ip for 4 decades and change, Disney feigns ignorance about how to properly market and treat the TRON franchise right. Methinks that is BS as they have been focused more on other properties they acquire. TRON is the red-headed stepchild of the house of mouse: they didn't even call Bruce Boxleitner about appearing in ARES, and they waited late to do some recent reshoots in Mexico that (*POSSIBLE SPOILER-->) show a familiar Ducati and may just feature 2 important characters from TRON Legacy. The set for Sam's shipping container apartment was also filmed for ARES.
Wasn't this the time when they were acquiring LucasFilms? Although I hate to admit, but I see why Disney made this decision. Unfortunately, it always comes at the cost of the fans that were dedicated to it.
Great video, still watch tron uprising to this day. Such a good show shame it wasn’t developed further. Looking forward to tron ares I just hope it is a success however with the track record of Disney regarding big budget films recently I don’t want to get my hopes up
Hopefully TRON Ares resparks an interest in the franchise and opens up the possibility for a second season
It’s a shame we still didn’t get an explanation for Rinzler 😢

We need more Tron: Uprising. I still can't believe it only got one season. 😑
Yep we could've easily had 3-4 more seasons. It was an amazing story and they didn't even get a chance to end it. :(
Hoping here ARES does extremely well and people start paying attention to TRON. You can never know what happens (look at samurai jack for example)
I think after uprising, Tron was kidnapped, Beck and his friends either died or escaped and the other programs lost the war against the regime.
3:49
We knew this already because Flynn explains this to Sam at the Start
Yeah 100%

Given the fact that we would get an Uprising movie before before season 2, this movie could've been a Disney Channel original movie

Even if it cost a lot it's just not fair that they had no faith in it. I hope they give it another try one day.

great show!
It's truly amazing!
We almost had of all, and if disney gets it together, we still might!
I just wish we get a second season if the new movie is successful
Dyson was the program version of Starscream
Lol kinda. I didn't really get that trying to overthrow Clu vibe though.
I’d argue Pavel is much closer to Starscream
Beck meet flynn ? hhmmm
