This is a companion piece to @trong-legacy's post on Team Green from Walt Disney World's Tron Lightcycle / Run, expanding on the various character models used.
I've compiled the character models from several different sources, comparing different versions of them.
All of the models seem to be based on the ones found in Tron: Evolution and TRON RUN/r, so I'll be showing all of them off.

All right, for starters, we're gonna talk about the makeup of Team Green for a moment.
The original group shot of Team Green features twelve different programs.
There's also a wall showing eight more programs and then three more programs get individual bios.
Interestingly, the eleven named programs don't match up to the original twelve, so there's potentially up to twenty three different Team Green programs at this time, if they're all unique.
Disney has also said that there'd be more stories from Team Green, so there may be even more out there in the future. Interestingly, they mention the twelve while showing the original group shot, but I'm not sure if that's an oversight, considering the named programs are quite a bit different.
There's different helmets between all the characters, but I'm going to refer to them as their body types, since the circuits don't change much.
The group picture has: 1 Heavy Sentry, 2 Siren, 2 Clu, 2 Rinzler, 2 Quorra, 1 Anon, 1 Scout Sentry, and 1 Sentry.
The individual pictures have: 2 Scout Sentry, 1 Black Guard, 2 Anon, 1 Clu, 1 Sentry, 2 Quorra, 1 Heavy Sentry, and 1 Rinzler.
There's some crossover there, but, there's also different helmets, which makes it hard to figure out exactly how many unique programs there are.

I'm starting off with Tron here. His Lightcycle / Run Rinzler model is based off the TRON RUN/r Rinzler model. The RUN/r model has a few unique quirks, and so does the Evolution one, making it fairly easy to tell them apart.
On Team Green, two out of the three Rinzler models keep Tron's signature T circuits (as does one of the Siren models).
TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files | TRON: Evolution Voice Lines
Quorra has, by far, the most amount of models, with three different ones in RUN/r, the Bitstream model in Fortnite, and is used several times in Lightcycle / Run.
Interestingly, @trong-legacy and I discovered that both Evolution and RUN/r forgot to light up her vertical circuit on her chest, while both Lightcycle / Run and Fortnite remembered it.
TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files | TRON: Evolution Voice Lines
Clu's model is somewhat interesting as his helmet is used for several other Team Green members.
At the time of publishing the look at Team Green, @trong-legacy and I hadn't been able to source Clu's helmet, speculating that it was perhaps from the multiplayer DLC model.
@cmdrjanus-2 has access to the TRON: Evolution models, thanks to this pack at SFMLab and I asked her about Clu's helmet and she kindly set it up for me so I could look at it. We're not sure if it's the exact same as the Evolution one, but I greatly appreciate her help!
However, shortly after publication, I found one scene in Evolution with him wearing his helmet, right around when he stages his coup. However, the circuit lights on his helmet are not lit up.
Like Quorra, his model is used quite a few times throughout Lightcycle / Run, but he's got a different helmet in most of them.

I was glad to seen Anon from TRON: Evolution again.
I was unsure of who the yellow model there belonged to, until I saw this post and realized that the circular hand circuits belong to him.
The Siren is a fairly interesting one, because there's a few unique aspects to her.
The Siren in TRON RUN/r is specifically labeled as Gem, and the Team Green versions appear to be based on her.
One of the Team Green Sirens has Tron's T for some reason, which is kinda neat, especially since she's potentially the only female program to wear Tron's circuits. (@trong-legacy and I joked that she's my Tron OC Ark, who isn't a Siren, but is a Renegade.)
The Siren is also the only character in the queue to be portrayed by a real person, instead of a CGI one.
At the Tron Lightcycle Power Run in Shanghai, they have a different Siren in the queue.

The Sentry is the most basic enemy in TRON: Evolution. They're former System Monitors, which is why I included the original System Monitor in this image. They share a few circuit details, but the ones in Lightcycle / Run are definitely the Occupation Sentry version.
I think it's neat that they also brought back the Sentries and their variants. There's some Sentries in TRON: Legacy, but all of the different variants are only in Evolution.
TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files
The Scout Sentry is a more advanced enemy in TRON: Evolution, but, like the Sentries, used to be a System Monitor.
@trong-legacy noticed that the Lightcycle / Run version of their helmets was colored in slightly differently, so you can still kinda tell where the original split was.
TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files
Like the Scout Sentry, the Heavy Sentry is an advanced enemy that used to be a System Monitor in TRON: Evolution.
TRON: Evolution Model | Tron Files
In TRON: Evolution, the Black Guard are modified Sentries, which means that they also used to be System Monitors. They're a fairly dangerous enemy when you encounter them.

That's all of the TRON Lightcycle / Run characters for now! Hopefully Disney will add more details about Team Green over time and I'll be able to add them to this collection.
Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!

SYSTEM MONITOR DEREZZED
The number of people who don't follow the same medias as I but like to see what I write… Thanks guys!
Tron: Evolution is a game set during C. L. U. 2.0 rebellion mentioned in Legacy. Adds some characters and concepts but not much details, the only important thing to mention being the virus called Abraxas. Probably one of the less plot-heavy or plot-relevant things of the full property.
So, Tron: Evolution… Even by Tron standard (should make a meta commentary about this franchise-wide problem), this game has A LOT of interesting idea and unusual concepts thrown everywhere and never used:
That the program's focus on their directives is seen by some as a sign of their inferiority, by others the reason they are superior; rebellious ISO who are a lot less naïve than what we were told, Abraxas (Spoilers, but seriously. If CLU 2.0 could create a whole identity for a three-helix DNA being the day of the coup but had to wait Uprising to be able to let repurposed program keep the ability to just TALK, let alone still struggle to properly rectify Tron by the time of Legacy, The H**k is Alan's level of skill? That one might be a glaring plot hole, still.), Zuse's motives, Flynn who didn't believe in "basic's" free will but saw CLU as a person capable of growing mentally, etc.
Which leads us to the hero of the game: Anon. Helmet, full mute, even in-universe. The idea seems to be that this system monitor (like Tron) written in a hurry doesn't possess abilities not directly related to his job as Grid security. This and quite a lot of elements I've noticed or realized while reading/watching posts/videos about Evolution are almost earth-shattering for the franchise's themes and lore, but not a single scene to focus on the subject (seems the game was a bit rushed anyway).
Something was brought to my attention by this specific post by @the-system-monitor: https://the-system-monitor.tumblr.com/post/646373242011090945/thoughts
And I had to do something. Because the post also doesn’t fully grasp something about the Anon/Gibson dynamic: Anon doesn't show a single regret killing or even fighting him after Gibson is infected by a virus. Heck, one could argue that the reason why Anon went after Gibson is his purpose of eradicating all infected programs and he saw Abraxas infecting the ISO rather than worry.
I do like to imagine Anon is capable of emotions, but I was intrigued by the idea of a program who only thinks by his programming with no emotion, because it's so out of place in the franchise's style and internal logic. Plus, it would be compelling to try to write an emotionless POV character. Haven't done that in years.
So, here came this AU and ficlet. Hope you will enjoy it.
I own nothing. Tron is a Disney property.
Recompliling Program...
Importing backup….
The Grid. Living again.
Scanning surroundings for threats…
“Hum? Hello? We’re here, Mysterious System Monitor!”
“Be more respectful of him! He… He saved my life.”
Combat posture engaged. “Hey! hey! Hey! Hey! Calm down!”
A User? Better disengage, in case he feels the need to derezzes a rebellious program.
Protect the Users.
New sub-directives discovered. Kevin_Flynn must have tried to copy Tron’s programming during conception.
New objective: Discover what happened to CLU and The Grid since derezzing.
Internal clock reveals over 12000 cycles have happened since derezzing.
This program is feeling... shock.
“Are you okay? Anon, is it?”
ISO intruding in personal space. Have to step back to have the room to grab the disc without being stopped if need be.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen him talk. I wonder how Flynn, your father, Sam, not you, programmed him. He always had an approach… I would say ‘robotic’, by users terms.”
A group of programs is around the ISO and the User. Scanning.
1)Male Mechanic program.
Defensive abilities: agility
Weaknesses: none
Notes: Seems extremely well-trained. Has adopted a System Monitor defensive stance. To be surveilled.
2)Female Combattant program
Defensive abilities: none
Weaknesses: Corrupted disks
Notes: Detecting traces of Medic program codes, that seems to have been abandoned in favor of becoming a Combat program. Is this possible?
Secondary objective: Learn how a basic program could change directives.
“What is he doing?”
“Shhh, Sam! He must be confused! Oh, how could I have missed his utter lack of expression ability during C.L.U’s coup?!? I’m feeling like such an idiot!” The User is immediately at her side, hugging her.
The Combatant program is murmuring to the Mechanic. What is she doing? Is she attempting to bribe him?
Analysis of her body language… Enhancing hearing to listen to her better…
Result… She is flirting. Nothing to notice.
Detecting a fifth program in the vicinity.
Scanning for threat level…
Tron
Status: corrupted codes
Defensive abilities: Light Shielding, Unique programming making him more resistant and hit stronger. Extreme agility in recorded memory. Might have been weakened by the corruption.
Weaknesses: Stasis disc. Might be destabilized by injecting a second type of corrupted data with the corruption disc.
Tron might be too powerful to take on, but he is a danger to the Grid.
Goodbye, Tron.
“What is he doing?!!?” The Mechanic program is immediately defending him. Those movements… He was trained by Tron. Need to get away to planify a better attack strategy.
The ground’s coding is being modified by the User. Tentacles restraining… What should System Monitor Anon use to refer to itself?
Coding malfunction detected… Impossible to self-diagnostique.
“It is my coding, Sam_Flynn. He considered our previous working relationship less important than his programming.”
The Mechanic program is trying to… Analysis... comfort Tron: “Tron. I know you’re feeling guilty with everything you did as Rinzler, but this wasn’t you. Okay?” His face softens in a sign of.... Support?
Was Tron turned into a Virus like the ISO Jalen?
He needs to be derezzed for the safety of the grid, if so.
“I’m sorry”, the User’s voice, Sam_Flynn, unknown connection to Kevin_Flynn, comes from the back. Engaging 360° view. He is approaching the disc.
Protect your disc or your programming will be modified.
“Oh boy. I’m, I’m sorry. My dad seems to have written you off in haste. I will try to do something about it. Tron is getting repairs, but all those cycles of being infected by Malwares and other things make the process slow.“
“Don’t worry. I won’t derezzes you. But you need to focus on the Grid Bugs and the infighting amongst the remaining commanders of C.L.U’s army.” The combattant program flinch. Spy? Traitor? For whom? How to warn the User and the ISO if she’s a danger? Wait, the disc!
The User quickly puts it back in the support, but…
New programming detected… Engaging Sleep Mode during the reboot process...

Originally, I wanted to sprinkle in moments that showed Anon being able to detect wherever a program is currently being killed and by who, but it would have been horrendous to name everyone and he never showed this ability in canon, so I dropped it. I also didn’t expect the story to get so dark with the question of HOW could Anon act that way during the game and how unable to empathize with others he is. The latter point should have been the most obvious thing, but I guess it’s in the franchise’s coding to write something and realize the mere concept is existential dread..
