This form is comprised of white lines forming a {{w|polygon mesh}} of triangles and quadrilaterals. It creates the silhouette of a human face stretched horizontally, with a large nose and wide mouth. The MCP's eyes are red pinpoints in this form. | ||
The MCP's second form, his true form, is comprised of two massive, red cylinders that are being projected from a very small, spherical device between the two. This device is mostly silver with a red, circular light displayed on it. The light is surrounded by four black triangles. The bottom cylinder is featureless, while the upper one sports the MCP's face. Like in his wire-frame form, the MCP's face in this form resembles a human male's, albeit stretched across the cylinder. He has wide lips and a large nose, complete with nostrils, as well as faint "eyebrows". The MCP's sclera in this form are maroon, while his eyes are white. Only the first form is viewable in Jiminy's Journal. | The MCP's second form, his true form, is comprised of two massive, red cylinders that are being projected from a very small, spherical device between the two.

The Master Control Program originates from the 1982 Disney film ''{{w|Tron}}'', voiced by David Warner. Created as a chess program, the MCP was repurposed by Ed Dillinger (also played by Warner) to administer the entire system at the company ENCOM, a software manufacture and computer experimentation company of which Dillinger had recently become a high-ranking executive. The MCP began to expand beyond the control of Dillinger, blackmailing him with the evidence that he had gotten his promotion by stealing the video game programs of his coworker [[Kevin Flynn]], and intended to hack the Pentagon and the Kremlin to replace human control of the world. | The Master Control Program originates from the 1982 Disney film ''{{w|Tron}}'', voiced by the late David Warner.

When Kevin Flynn attempts to hack into ENCOM's memory to retrieve the same evidence, the MCP digitizes him using an experimental laser, and locks him away with other programs he had captured to be eventually eliminated playing video games. Flynn meets Tron in the games, and together they escape the MCP and make their way to him. The MCP puts increasing pressure on Sark, his enforcer on the Game Grid, to capture Tron. | When Kevin Flynn attempts to hack into ENCOM's memory to retrieve the same evidence, the MCP digitizes him using an experimental laser, and locks him away with other programs he had captured to be eventually eliminated playing video games.

En route to delivering some elderly programs to be absorbed by the MCP, Sark finally captures the group. Leaving them on the ship as the MCP derezzes it, the group escapes and makes their way to the MCP's mesa. Tron defeats Sark, but the MCP transfers all of his functions to his enforcer, resurrecting him as a giant in a final bid to stop them. Unexpectedly, however, Flynn throws himself into the MCP, distracting the program long enough for Tron to erase. The MCP dwindles down to his original form, before disappearing for good. | En route to delivering some elderly programs to be absorbed by the MCP, Sark finally captures the group.
