I've been steadily bashing the disappointing TRON: Legacy figs onto better bodies, and the latest MU "Bleeding Edge' Iron Man (officially called the Modular Armor) makes for a great base body, imho. Here I've bashed Rinzler's head and calves onto the IM fig, and swapped in some PoC FireFly hands (the cuffs extend the too-short IM forearms). After cracking the Rinzler fig and extracting the back post that activates the light-up feature, I trimmed it a bit and drilled a hole in IM's back to glue the post in place. It's a convenience that Spin Masters made the ID discs fit nicely on it. I've also carved out the outer portion of Rinzler's thigh armor where his 'sticks' attach (altho I left the sticks at home for fear of losing them - this pic's taken here at work). I've also added in one of PoC3 SE's sword scabbards by drilling out the blue light on IM's hip a bit, and the peg fits nicely. I post this because the way I'll be adding the TL figs into my 'verse means I'll have to show them off as a group, and that's unlikely to be any time soon. Maybe some of you will want to copy this IM-bash idea so I tell you about it while the getting's good.

great idea! I can't wait to see what this looks like finished up.
I suggest getting some UV reactive paint to paint some of the parts to create the classic tron glow....

Kick ass idea, Av! I got a Clu for X-mas but I don't have a clue what to do with him. This might help.

I picked up a clue and a black guard figure from tru today with a buy one get one 50% off coupon... pluss a few IM figs to bash them onto. Thanks for the inspiration, hopefully I come up with something decent...
I think I'll re-create the characters instead of keeping them as tron characters though.

I'm going with a 'Clu had set the Grid to make periodic back-ups to be restarted on another mainframe should he ever be de-rezzed'. In this new iteration, *everybody* is a bad guy as Quorra and Sam got corrupted by Clu into serving him.
