Ride: 5th Generation (Legacy Gen.) Black [Blue Strobe] Light Cycle.
- Spoiler:
Describe your vehicle: The 5th-generation light cycle is the upgrade of the original light cycle and its design more closely resembles a real-world motorcycle. As such, it lacks the canopy sported by the 1st and 2nd-generation cycles and features headlights so that programs can easily navigate dark environments, and in contrast to every previous generation cycle, the front and rear wheels of the 5th-generation cycle are of identical size. It is powered by pure liquid energy, and the Light Ribbons it produces can be toggled on or off at any time.
Speed can be increased by pushing the front and rear ends of the vehicle further apart, partially exposing its engine in the process. The front wheel of this light cycle is locked forward, so steering is not done by turning the front wheel, but by tilting the cycle. When attempting certain maneuvers, a pair of small fins are shown to spring out just behind the rider, to aid either balance or braking.
5th generation light cycles are not persistent. They are generated from a baton, with the baton splitting in half and forming the light cycle between the two halves and below the rider. The remaining halves of the baton also form the handlebars of the light cycle. When creating a light cycle from a baton, the rider typically does so with a running leap to assume the necessary posture, and clearance from the ground, to allow the light cycle to form. However if she breaks the baton at a high enough altitude she can have the cycle form without her needing to be on it. However once she gets on it a pressure switch activates and the second she gets off the bike it will reform into the digitized version that's in the baton.
History of the Ride: Believe it or not. She won it in a game of Yahtzee with this crazy computer program that was dubbed the MCP. After hours of bad graphics and funny clothing she managed to win the game and her freedom along with this bitching ride.
