00:00 - Wasting Tommy and failing "Demolition Man" whilst obtaining the Unique RC Goblin
08:15 - Showing off the Unique RC Goblin
This Method will ONLY WORK on Android (not Version 1.10 and not iOS) and Definitive Edition because the RC Goblin is nowhere to be found when you come back to the area once Tommy is wasted on other Platforms! This DOES NOT WORK on PS2, Xbox, PC, Android Version 1.10, or iOS! The RC Goblin (Outside Garage Version) is obtainable, but you will be using a DIFFERENT Method on other Platforms and Versions! The reason why it doesn't work on Android Version 1.10 or iOS is because after saving and reloading, it'll vanish! To keep it on Android Version 1.10 or iOS, you must actually store it inside of a Garage! Save the game, reload your Save, and go to the Garage and open it TWICE. It's been confirmed that by doing this, you've now created a Unique/EP/EC Black RC Goblin as a Trophy!
Since the INSIDE Garage Version of the RC Goblin is obtainable using the other Method on the Definitive Edition, it's recommended to use THAT Method since you will NOT have to waste Tommy in the process and will be able to enter/exit the RC Goblin after the fact. The only difference is it'll be stored in a Garage instead of on the Map where you last left it.
If you're obtaining the RC Goblin on Android, the positioning of the random Vehicle in which spawns at the Leaf Links Safehouse will be closer to the wall. You can land the RC Goblin in between the Vehicle and the wall and teleport out and then save your game! I don't show this in the Video because apparently the positioning of the random Vehicle spawn was changed for Definitive Edition. Plus, once you teleport into the RC Goblin just once, you can then exit and enter it normally since the game won't crash on the Definitive Edition!
Obtaining the RC Goblin using this Method on Mobile will be slightly harder and you'll likely use a random Vehicle plus the nearby wooden fenced wall to block the doors to the RC Goblin and have Tommy teleport into it.
After the Mission fails, be sure to continue to hold the accelerate button and ascend in the RC Goblin. Without doing this, especially on the Definitive Edition, the RC Goblin tends to not be there when you get back to the area!
Know that if Tommy gets too close to the rotors BEFORE teleporting into it for the very first time, he can die. Be very careful when trying to teleport into it!
It's advised to hold off with "Demolition Man" as long as possible! For instance, I heard reports of the RC Goblin actually vanishing on people when they would cross Islands and come back later on! This is why when going to 100% and wanting this RC Goblin, you should do EVERYTHING possible for 100% except for "Demolition Man," Gang Missions, and "Keep Your Friends Close...." After passing these remaining handful of Missions and reaching 100%, just save the game at the Safehouse, right next to the Marked RC Goblin! Your chances of losing it will be slim to none at this point!
The RC Goblin does NOT count as a Vehicle by a Garage and it's Marked. This is why it remains anywhere on your Map, even after saving/reloading as well as allowing you to enter as many other Vehicles in the process.
You absolutely MUST teleport IN and OUT of the RC Goblin to prevent the game from crashing, unless you play on the Definitive Edition. Opening/Closing door aminations will NOT crash the game when playing on the Definitive Edition, but you STILL NEED TO teleport into the RC Goblin the very first initial time for Tommy to enter it. Once he enters it, you can casually exit it, anywhere, anytime.
DO NOT PRESS the button to shoot a Weapon UNTIL Tommy has teleported into the RC Goblin! Doing this before teleporting into the RC Goblin will result in the game to crash!
Fun Fact - When you enter the RC Goblin on PS2, there is NO NAME present! When you enter the RC Goblin on other Platforms, there IS a name present!
