Tron's Light Cycles Could Have Looked Much Stranger

As sleek and cyber-looking as the light cycles were in VR-game epic Tron, some of the original light-cycle concept art looks even more arresting. Some of the light cycles look almost industrial, like machines made out of pixels, while others look abstract and chaotic, just squiggly lines moving around. Even though the light-cycle concept art includes work by masters Syd Mead and Peter Lloyd, my favorites are the comic-booky drawings by Andy Probert, above. Some more favorites, below the fold.
