I think it's a Thiokol Imp. |

I found this page recently in the US National Archives, it shows Komatsu snow vehicles, some which I can't find any mention of online. It looks like this one could be the Komatsu KC10-1. The general shape and size are right, but there's no details in this photocopy. I with it showed the suspension. https://i.imgur.com/1Imx6KE.jpeg -- Last edit: 2024-10-16 22:19:24 |

^ no it's not the Komatsu KC hood way too long and straight ![[Image: gyinrei.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/24/gyinrei.jpg) ![[Image: kc20ss.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/26/kc20ss.jpg) Mole Mink similar tracks but not it ![[Image: 201125282032529.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/25/201125282032529.jpg) Link to "australianalpinoversnow.blogspot.com" canadian Penguin ![[Image: 47a79c3249854c73ff560d3221793234.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/25/47a79c3249854c73ff560d3221793234.jpg) -- Last edit: 2026-06-13 13:49:11 |

Yeah now that I look at it compared to your picture I see the hood on the KC10 is shaped differently than I thought. I assumed it was rectangular like the front of a Thiokol Imp or something. I don't know then. If I find something in the future I will put it here. |

^ Yes, there's a blu-ray out there. It's on my to-see list, but I can look for this vehicle beforehand. Do you remember an approximate time in the movie? |

HD is not much of an improvement (grainy and this particular scene is out of focus on account of wind and ice/snow/fog):![[Image: 494363t005959.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/26/494363t005959.jpg) ![[Image: 494363t010000.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/26/494363t010000.jpg) However, it seems to match the yellow-orange one shown here on the right in an earlier scene: ![[Image: 494363t002705.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/26/494363t002705.jpg) > ![[Image: 494363tt002705.1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/32612/26/494363tt002705.1.jpg) Note: the scene takes place in a Japanese camp, so Komatsu would make sense. |

 Komatsu KC20 then !!! produced December 1954 to 1970 , about 272 units ![[Image: gyinrei.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/26/gyinrei.jpg) http://www.interq.or.jp/sun/mm-kas/neta/sabi/kc20-3.htm which is based on the M29 Weasel hence track chassis very similar ... -- Last edit: 2026-06-13 15:40:12 |

I wonder if you will evolve to take on the unknown motorcycles.  |

technically this could be KC10 too but only this ultra faded print is the only reference of it ... it looks pretty much like KC20 same grill and front end from this glimpses![[Image: untitled.668.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/26/untitled.668.jpg) -- Last edit: 2026-06-13 19:27:29 |
