Best Tron Pinball Mods

Few pinball machines have aged as gracefully as Tron Legacy.

Released in 2011 and designed by John Borg, Tron immediately became one of Stern's most visually striking machines. Inspired by the futuristic world of glowing circuits, light cycles and digital combat, it combines fast gameplay with one of the most distinctive visual identities ever seen in pinball.

More than a decade later, it remains one of the most sought-after modern Stern machines, and it's easy to understand why. Its artwork, lighting and atmosphere still feel fresh today, making it one of the most beautiful modern pinball machines ever created.

A Futuristic World Under Glass

The moment you switch on Tron, the machine comes alive.

Deep blacks contrast with brilliant electric blues, while the illuminated inserts and flowing artwork create an atmosphere unlike almost any other pinball machine. Every part of the cabinet reinforces the futuristic world of the Grid, making the player feel as though they've stepped directly into the film.

If you'd like to make that artwork even more immersive, our WizBlades are one of our favourite upgrades for Tron.

The design continues the factory artwork inside the cabinet with three iconic Light Cycles: the blue cycle racing along the right side, the green cycle emerging beneath the apron, and the yellow cycle charging up the left side. Together they transform the empty cabinet walls into a seamless extension of the playfield, making the entire machine feel larger and far more dynamic.

Completing the Front of the Cabinet

One of the easiest ways to elevate Tron's presentation is by extending the artwork beyond the playfield.

Our magnetic WizPanels remove the empty space around the speaker panel and continue the futuristic design naturally into the backbox, creating a cleaner and more premium appearance without permanently modifying the machine.

Lower down, our WizDoors bring the same visual language to the coin door, adding another subtle detail that perfectly matches the original cabinet artwork.

Each upgrade has been designed to look as though it could have left the Stern factory that way.

Aprons Designed for Every Edition

Whether you own the Pro or the Limited Edition, we've created aprons that respect the original design while adding extra visual depth.

Our Pro WizApron integrates naturally with the existing artwork, while the Limited Edition WizApron has been specially designed with precision cut-outs that allow the factory illuminated windows to remain fully visible. The result is an upgrade that enhances the machine without hiding one of the Limited Edition's most distinctive features.

It's a small detail, but one that collectors immediately appreciate.

Fast Gameplay Meets Timeless Artwork

John Borg designed Tron to be fast, direct and exciting.

The flowing shots, energetic pacing and satisfying ramps perfectly match the speed of the film itself. Unlike many licensed machines, Tron doesn't rely solely on nostalgia—it remains genuinely enjoyable to play, even years after its release.

That's one of the reasons it continues to attract both players and collectors. It isn't simply a beautiful machine; it's an excellent pinball machine that just happens to look spectacular.

One of the Most Beautiful Modern Pinball Machines

Whenever collectors discuss the best-looking modern pinball machines, Tron almost always enters the conversation.

Its bold colour palette, minimalist design and unforgettable lighting package have helped it become a modern classic. Even alongside today's newest releases, it still feels futuristic.

In fact, we recently included Tron in our Top 10 Most Beautiful Modern Pinball Machines, where it comfortably earned its place among the finest cabinet designs ever produced.

Final Thoughts

Tron Legacy proves that great artwork never goes out of style.

Its combination of futuristic design, exceptional lighting and timeless gameplay has made it one of Stern's most desirable modern machines. With a few carefully chosen upgrades, it's possible to extend that visual experience even further while remaining completely faithful to the original artistic vision.
