The Yeti is one of the 20 vehicles in the cancelled Game Boy Color port of Carmageddon: TDR 2000. It appears as a normal opponent on Back of Beyond.

Design

It is a monster truck with the body of a blue pickup truck. The wheels and undercarriage also have hints of blue on them in the menu image.

Performance

The truck is very slow, but is useful at wasting opponents. It damages them quickly and can take a beating. Buying this truck is a good idea for players looking to destroy the competition, but it is a bit expensive and one may encounter some difficulties catching up with other cars.

Mission Appearances

The Yeti first appears as an obstacle in the first mission of Back of Beyond (Mission 3 overall) together with Funk. It does not need to be destroyed.

In the first mission of the Military area (Mission 7 overall), it acts as a boss in the middle of a maze made out of crates. This version of the Yeti can't be damaged easily, it is suggested to get the Solid granite car power ups placed north and south of the maze in order to do any damage to it.

The Monster Truck, which has the same overall design from the one in the Game Boy Color port, was a cut vehicle only appearing in promotional screenshots for the game.

Design

Two versions of this vehicle were shown: A red version and a blue version.

The first version is seen on two pictures dated 18/02/2000, being posted in tandem with a developer blog post talking about new cars that were just added to the game. It is depicted as a massive monster truck using the body of Tow Meister, only painted red and with the number 22 removed, as well as having a more simplistic grill texture.

The second version is seen in various screenshots. This truck is painted blue, with the addition of a tanker barrel having been strapped on its bed. A shot from issue 10 of Juegos & Cia magazine shows that the truck still has the same cow catcher from Tow Meister.

One of these trucks became Tres Hombres, according to 3D artists David Biggs. Tres Hombres' early name was "Mighty Muff", and in an early car list released by SCi from March, the Monster Truck and Mighty Muff were separate vehicles, and not evolutions of the same car. However, it is currently unknown which of the two is the cut Monster Truck, and which one is Tres Hombres' early design.

Driver

The driver only seen in the red version's pictures is Max Damage, being only there as a placeholder. It is unknown if it ever had an unique driver.
