Other appearances

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Rinzler is seen preparing to fight Sora in the Jump Festa 2012 trailer. In the Special trailer released on Valentine's Day, CLU offers Rinzler in exchange for Sora's Keyblade, and in a later scene, he faces Quorra and Sora in CLU's quarters.

Appearance

Rinzler wears black body armor with orange circuitry, with four orange squares arranged in the shape of a 'T' on his chest and lines on his fore and middle fingers. His face is covered by a black helmet similar in structure to the one worn by Vanitas. He wields an Identity Disk, a black chakram-like weapon with a white outer border and an orange inner border, that can split into two smaller but just as lethal disks.

Origin

"User."

—Rinzler identifies Sam Flynn

Rinzler made his debut in Tron: Legacy; while Tron is escorting Kevin Flynn to the portal to the real world, they are ambushed by CLU 2 and four Black Guards. Tron tells Kevin to run as he fends them off, leaving him to fight and ultimately lose to CLU 2. Tron was then repurposed to serve him as Rinzler, bringing him into conflict with Kevin, his son Sam, and Quorra. Ultimately, he overcomes CLU 2's programming and flies straight into his former master's Light Jet. The attack fails, however, and Rinzler falls into the sea of simulation, where his circuitry returns from orange to white.

In the film, Rinzler is performed by Anis Cheurfa, and voiced by Bruce Boxleitner.
