It is built on the [[Grid]], [[Kevin Flynn|Kevin Flynn's]] master creation, and is the pinnacle of his "digital frontier".<ref>https://screenrant.com/tron-city-argon-explained-grid/</ref> It is constructed in a hexagonal shape, with a deep chasm surrounding its perimeter. Bridges connect it to the surrounding area and form highly defensible choke points against any surface-based aggression. The city, like the Grid around it, matches the darkened environment of the rest of the Tron system. The gloom is offset by brilliant white illumination, meandering throughout the city like circuits on on a printed circuit board. == History == === Origins === [[File:Tron City in TRON Betrayal.webp|left|thumb|Tron City in 1983. ]] The first beginnings of Tron City were in 1983 after the establishment of the [[Grid]]. It was expanded to accommodate a multitude of diverse [[program]]s and beyond the purely functional streets and buildings it eventually gained some of the less essential trappings of a society, such as a vast entertainment arena and nightclubs.<ref>[[TRON: Betrayal]]</ref> One building in particular provides a significant point of interest; [[Flynn's Arcade]] in the [[real world]] has its very own digital simulation in Tron City and this modest structure in the heart of the city provides the entry point into the system for [[user]]s rezzing in from the real arcade.<ref name=":0">[[TRON: Legacy]]</ref><ref name=":1" /> === 1985 === During 1985, a Game Arena Tournament was held across the Grid, some of the games were of course held in Tron City. [[Beta]] competed in the many games held within Tron City before moving on to the city near by, [[ISO City]].<ref>[[TRON: Evolution]] (PSP)</ref> === 1989 === [[File:Tron looks down on Tron City.png|left|thumb|The view of Tron City]] Prior to Flynn's last arrival to the Grid. Tron and his team of security programs drove to the ISO district of Tron City in an attempt to intervene in a [[Disturbance in the ISO District|protest near the local ISO district]]. While resolving peace between the two grooups, an [[Identity Disc]] struck and killed a nameless [[Basic]], starting a riot from the Basics towards the ISOs. Dyson, one of the many commanding [[System Monitor|System Monitors]] trying to prevent the ongoing chaos, was struck in the face and critically scarred, creating his hatred towards the ISOs. Dyson's hate grew worse, and while waiting for Flynn's arrival at Tron CIty's version of Flynn's Arcade, Clu drove up to the building. Immediately thereafter, Flynn finnaly arrived and upon arriving, Dyson complained to Flynn about the ISOs, though Flynn cared little about these complaints and shifted his focus towards the ISO's.<ref name=":1" /> An installation ceremony of [[ISO]] leader, [[Radia]], was held within Tron City, though this ceremony was interrupted by the corrupted [[Abraxas]]. a [[System Monitor]] by the name of [[Anon]] manages to defeat this threat and afterwards, [[Tron]] decides to escort [[Kevin Flynn]] to the [[Portal]] due to the new danger. As the two are conversing about security problems on the street of Tron CIty, [[Clu 2]] and the vengeful [[Dyson]] initiates the [[Coup against Kevin Flynn|Coup against Flynn]].<ref name=":2">[[TRON: Evolution]]</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> Anon witnesses this coup from the digital version of [[Flynn's Arcade]] in Tron City, but is stopped from fully viewing the coup by a [[Sentry]].<ref name=":2" /> === Rulership === [[File:Tron City overview.png|thumb|Tron City, now controlled by [[Clu 2]], after the [[Purge]].|left]] Clu took over Tron City, as well as the entirety of the Grid, after overthrowing, and he turned the games on the Grid into a battle to the death. At the same time, Clu declared [[Purge|war on the ISOs]] by destroying the [[End of Line Club]], the only ISO safe haven throughout Tron City.<ref name=":2" /> After Clu's take over of the Grid, he sent out his army to take over every single city on the Grid<ref>[[TRON: Uprising S01E01 Beck's Beginning]]</ref> while Clu personally watched over Tron City. Dyson returned to Tron City upon discovering that Tron lived, and he notified Clu of a message that Tron himself had given to him. "Tron Lives".<ref>[[TRON: Uprising S01E10 Scars, Part 2]]</ref> [[File:Codex loc tron city.png|thumb|T]] What was once known as the heart of the Grid, became a dark, oppressed place of strict, regulated functions. Any program not in line, in any way, was then targeted for the Game Grid, or simply deletion, as a maintenance of order for the system as a whole.<ref>[https://dolimg.com/media/en-US/m/dcom/ipad_jt/ss/TRON/html/codex/tron-locations.html# TRON :: Codex :: Locations - Tron City]</ref> === 2010 === [[File:Streets of Tron City.png|left|thumb|Tron City in 2010]] By 2010, Clu still ruled over Tron City and the Grid as a whole. After [[Sam Flynn]], the son of Kevin Flynn, had investigated his arcade back in the [[Real World]], he was digitized and sent to the Grid, where he appeared inside of Flynn's Arcade. Sam immediately went outside and found himself in Tron City before being abducted by two Sentries, who identified him as a [[Stray]]. After being taken aboard the Recognizer by the Sentries, Sam continues observing the world around him and even questions [[Recognizer prisoners|those aboard the Recognizer]] until he is taken to a [[Game Arena]]. After Sam is discovered to be a [[User]] by [[Rinzler]], he is taken to a [[Light Cycle Grid]] in the city to participate in a [[Light Cycle (5th generation)|Light Cycle]] game. Sam is freed from this game, but returns to Tron City once more using his [[Light Cycle (2nd generation)|father's Light Cycle]], this Light Cycle is spotted by a Sentry however, which helps Clu figure out the location of [[Flynn's Safehouse|Kevin Flynn's Safehouse.]] Sam trades the Light Cycle he used for a cloak from a [[Destitute Program]] and continues roaming the streets of Tron City. Whille walking, Sam is found by [[Gem]], a [[Siren]] he met earlier, and she leads him to the [[End of Line Club]] to meet [[Castor]]. A fight eventually breaks out in the End Of Line Club however, which causes Sam to leave and [[Kevin Flynn's Identity Disc]] to be captured, after the fight, Sam, Flynn, and Quorra decide to retrieve Flynn's Identity Disc and disembark from Tron City by using a [[Solar Sailer]]. Tron City, as well as the Grid, were soon freed after Kevin Flynn re-integrated himself with Clu.<ref name=":0" /> == Other appearances == [[File:D-T-009.jpg|thumb|Tron City in [[TRON: Legacy Graphic Novel]]]] === [[TRON: Legacy Graphic Novel|''TRON: Legacy Graphic Novel'']] === Tron City appears in the comic adaptation of [[TRON: Legacy]]. === ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' === Tron City, or primarily [[The Grid (Kingdom Hearts)|The Grid]], appears in [[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]. == Points of interest == === [[End of Line Club]] === {{Main|End of Line Club}} The end of Line Club is the tallest tower in Tron CIty, and it is owned by [[Castor]]. The club also houses numeral programs and its staff include the two bartenders, [[Shaddox]] and [[Shaddix]], as well as the DJ's of the club, the [[Masked DJ's]]. Upstairs, their is a sound proof room which is private, exclusively to Castor and anyone he allows to enter it. [[File:Tron's tower.png|thumb]] === Tron's Tower === The tower in which Tron and his security team reside, though it goes unnamed in the episode in which it appears in. This tower reports any illegal events occurring in Tron CIty, one instance was when it had displayed several screens showcasing harassment against ISOs, this tower also has Tron's symbol on it and includes an elevator.<ref name=":1">[[TRON: Uprising S01E09 Scars, Part 1]]</ref> === Light Cycle Grid === {{Main|Light Cycle Grid}} An area similar to that of the [[Light Cycle Staging Pit]], this location is somewhere within Tron CIty and near the [[Outlands]]. Players are meant to compete in a Light Cycle game on this arena === Game Arena === {{Main|Game Arena}} === Flynn's Arcade === {{Main|Flynn's Arcade}} Within Tron City, there is a digital version of Flynn's Arcade, that of which serves as the area where [[User|Users]] emrge upon arriving to the Grid. == Trivia == *[[File:Tron City in Legacy Teaser.png|thumb|The City in the teaser trailer for [[TRON: Legacy]]]]In 1989, its population was 16,453,479.<ref name=":2" /> *Tron City briefly appears in the teaser trailer for [[TRON: Legacy]]. * The layout and design of the Tron City is strikingly similar to the Dark City of [http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/World_That_Never_Was The World That Never Was] from ''[http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Kingdom_Hearts_II Kingdom Hearts II]''. This may be a subtle tribute to Square Enix for featuring the TRON universe in the game. Interestingly, ''[[TRON]]'' was the first Disney film that Square Enix requested to be featured in the game. == References == [[Category:Key Locations]] [[Category:TRON Universe]] [[Category:TRON: Legacy]] [[Category:TRON: Evolution]] [[Category:TRON: Betrayal]] [[Category:TRON: Uprising]] [[Category:Canon]] [[Category:TRON RUN/r]] [[Category:TRON: Evolution - Battle Grids]] [[de:Raster-Stadt]] [[es:Ciudad Tron]] [[Category:Cities]]
