TheRC Goblin is a smallremote controlledhelicopter featured inGrand Theft Auto: Vice City andGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The RC Goblin also exists inGrand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories as an unused vehicle, and thus cannot be obtained by normal means.
Design[]
3D Universe[]
The RC Goblin is essentially a red miniature remote-controlled helicopter with a small main rotor and rounded cabin. Like its counterpart, theRC Raider, the RC Goblin seems to be an original concept fromRockstar Games, as the helicopter does not take any inspiration from a real life aircraft.
Performance[]
3D Universe[]
The RC Goblin has relatively average performance traits, inferior to the similarly designedRC Raider, only being able to execute moderate pitches and thus being slower, but being more stable in controls than the RC Raider. Much like the RC Raider, the spinning blades of the RC Goblin can be used to executeheli-kills onpedestrians.

Version History[]
Prominent Appearances in Gameplay[]
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
- The RC Goblin is outfitted with the ability to carry and drop bombs in the missionDemolition Man.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- In the missionNew Model Army, the player assumes the control of an RC Goblin equipped with an electromagnet capable of carrying bombs and crude bridges.
Trivia[]
General[]
- RC Goblin's name is a play onarse goblin, another sexual joke by Rockstar North, a term for a person who enjoys anal sex.
- Much like theRC Raider and the helicopters inGTA III, spawning the vehicle inGTA III andGTA Vice City and attempting to enter it will result in the player character walking in circles, as there is no area set for where the door opens. InGTA San Andreas, however,Carl will do nothing if the player tries to enter it.
- The vehicle seems to have a set texture in all the games it appears in, as it never spawns with the colors the game files assign to it.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City[]
- After finishing "Keep Your Friends Close...", one can find the Goblin in the lounge in the mansion. It is called the Action Heli and comes with a remote, but cannot be controlled.
- The RC Goblin is "obtainable" during the missionDemolition Man. The player can only keep it somewhere temporarily, as it will prevent them from finishing the game if they do not destroy it. The player can get it by duplicating the mission and sinking one of the two RC Goblins. Failing the mission, or destroying the RC Goblin during the mission will cause the game to crash. After passing the mission, the RC Goblin in the water will remain, and if the player pushes it out of the water, they are able to fly it as the controls are linked to Tommy's body movement. Shooting any weapon will crash the game, until the helicopter is destroyed. Watchthis video as a reference.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories[]
- The "door" sound of the RC Goblin is very high pitched, and sounds similar to blades spinning.
