This is what Yo Joe said:

Knock-Off - "Armoured Car"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Image Close-Up

Pictured above is the "Armoured Car", a variation of the Snow Cat. The Armoured Car is made in China, and available in either gray or brown.

It take 4 AA batteries, has blue lights where the headlights go, and red flashing lights on the top. The armored car features sound effects (no buttons) and the missile launcher swivels.

The front canopy does not open, and there are only 2 pegs for figures underneath the ski-pedoes.

All missiles are repainted silver, and there is a radar dish added to the gas nozzle at the front. comes in 2 colors, grey and brown.

Too bad.. it would have been fun to put 2 Power Commandos figures in that canopy!  :lol:

So for the sake of lights, sounds and a swivel launcher they removed the seating?  Not really worth it to me, except for the swivel launcher if it could be controlled.

Alpine- Could you please ask the driver to fire that Torpedo?
Snow Job- Yeah sure! Hey you in the cockpit? Could you shoot that Super Torpedo of yours..we need to take down that WOLF in front of us??
Alpine- I think he's deaf or somethin'
Snow Job- Hey Yo! You're dumb or what? Shoot that torpedo and please turn off the police sirens!!
......
Alpine- Oh man, sorry, I forgot to tell you.. there's only a battery pack in there!

The back portion of an '85 Snowcat is really easy to take off (I don't know what later versions are like) revealling the space under the missile launcher to be pretty hollow.  The siren on top is very accommodating for a pair of hobbysize light bulbs.  I've always wondered if the designers originally meant this to be motorized or electronic at some point.
