Tron Light Cycle Contest Winners Announced

If history is anything to go by, what we call science fiction today will be reality tomorrow, so it’s good to let the imagination run wild once in a while. Something tells us that motorcycles made of light are not coming within our lifetime, so SideQuesting.com, a website focused on discussions about video games, decided to lift our spirits by launching a contest.

The competition was meant to decide who among its readers can draw the best Tron Light Cycle. The results have been announced and the winners’ submissions are out of this world.

Two contestants were chosen, one from the United States and an international representative. John A. Frye took home the top spot among American artists with an appropriately stretched-out American interpretation of a futuristic bike that looks like a custom chopper, while Raphael Laurent of Switzerland won the international prize. Each winner received a copy of the Art of Tron Legacy book and two Light Cycle toys.

To be honest, all the entries look amazing, as some designers went for realistic creations that look like they were built in metal, while other envisioned vehicles made of pure energy. Bubble tops seem popular. Raphael Laurent’s creation we are showing you here is an amazing mix of light effects and grays. It looks like the rider is holding on to the monstrous contraption by the axle of the front wheel, with all the thrust and power of a nuclear missile under him.

It offers quite traditional proportions to a regular bike, but the fact that the rider looks like he could be killed at any second resonates with the spirit of the movie.
