	The following is based on content cut from Red Alert 2 and has not been confirmed by canon sources.

The Corkscrew Transport is a vehicle cut from Red Alert 2. This infantry transport uses unique corkscrews to traverse the offroad and safely transport soldiers.

AppearancesEdit

The Corkscrew Transport can be seen in the Red Alert 2 intro and beta footage as a Soviet unit, while it has Allied insignia in the concept art. However, it was scrapped ingame in favour of the hovercraft-like Amphibious Transport.

Behind the ScenesEdit

The Soviet Union did expeiment with screw-propelled vehicles which did possess absurd off-road capability and were amphibious, but could not traverse hard surfaces without heavy damage and were smaller than the transport depicted in-game.

TriviaEdit

A Russian scout unit called the Mishka in the Rise of the Reds mod for Zero Hour bears a resemblance to the Corkscrew Transport.
