The Men In Black may use futuristic vehicles that can fly and are equipped with alien technology, but these pale in comparison to the light cycles used in the Tron franchise. With a flick of a colored rod, the rider is covered by a protective canopy that forms a futuristic motorcycle around them, making parking issues all but obsolete. As if that wasn't exciting enough, these light cycles are driven in competitions between computer programs where the last player left in the game is the winner. Within the world of Tron, these light cycles are incredibly fast to drive, creating a solid wall of light behind them as they move. The aim of the game is to force other players to hit the trail you leave behind, immediately throwing them out of the game until you are crowned victorious as the sole survivor. Some would point out that the inability to brake or turn more than 90 degrees at any given time is a potentially fatal design flaw, but just think of riding light cycles as a more exciting version of the phone game 'Snake' and it suddenly makes perfect sense. Did we mention that the helmets look seriously bad ass?
