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).

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.

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.

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.

Like the Scout Sentry, the Heavy Sentry is an advanced enemy that used to be a System Monitor in TRON: Evolution.

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.
In TRON RUN/r, you can use the Bits you collect on Power-Ups and Companions. Here’s the Companions you can buy, though, some are only available in certain game modes.
Each Companion has a closed and an open state, so I’ve got screenshots of both.
With them floating there next to your character, it makes me think of the Bit from the original Tron movie.
I got lucky with these screenshots from TRON RUN/r, because they’ve got two things I want to talk about.
The first is the Bit currency for @ravenser-odd. I didn’t notice this until I looked at my screenshots, but the yellow Bits you pick up change shape. Everything goes by so fast that I had no idea that they switched between the regular Bit shape and the diamond Yes Bit shape.
The second thing I want to talk about is the health counters in TRON RUN/r. You get three lives, and they’re displayed on your character’s back underneath your character’s disc port. When you have three or two lives left, they glow blue, but when you’re down to one life, the indicator glows red.
I feel like the lives indicator could be used for something interesting in the Game Arena.
