We were there to see it unveiled live. Full gallery below.

The light cycle, one of only two in existence, was viewable on a rotating stage in somewhat limited lighting so we'll apologize up-front for the somewhat murky shots. Still, it's the first and best glimpse we've yet seen of the most anticipated movie for sci-fi nerd-dom — assuming, of course, you're a child of the 80s. Which we are. We're not ashamed to admit we completely geeked out. It was epic. Check out the rest of the visit over at our sci-fi sister site, io9 here.

<![CDATA[Trailer For Tron 2 Reboots Bad 80s Flashbacks With New Lightcycles]]> A few nuggets of automotive goodness have already seeped out of the nerdry that is this week's Comic-Con, but nothing is getting us excited more than this quick peek at some in-movie footage of the trailer from the new Tron 2 movie (alternately called Tr2n or Tron 2.0). While it's a grainy and distant bootleg movie — the footage still looks simply stunning. The lightcycles? They look epic. Jeff Bridges? We'll agree with our gadget-obsessed brother site when they say he looks like some badass version of "The Dude." We're totally sold on this one. Let the lightcyclegasm begin.
