| Deadly Remote Control Toy | comment |
A remote control toy (most commonly a car or a plane) is used as a weapon in an attempt to murder someone. Most commonly, the toy is packed with explosives and detonated close to the target, although in more fantastic settings, the toy might have functional weaponry mounted on it. As a murder method, it allows the killer to toy with their victims by having the vehicle chase them, while remaining close enough to see their panic but far enough away to remain safe. From a storytelling perspective, it allows for a highly unusual Chase Scene. One of the many weapons available to the Wicked Toymaker. The (slightly) more realistic Sister Trope to Murder by Remote Control Vehicle. Compare Creepy Doll, Demonic Dummy, My Little Panzer and Perverse Puppet. |

Call of Duty: Black Ops, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War have the RC-XD, a remote-controlled car armed with explosive charges that appears as a killstreak or scorestreak in the multiplayer mode. In Cold War's campaign mode, Alex Mason ends up using one to stop the plane of Arash Kadivar from taking off, using it to blow the plane up. Call of Duty: Black Ops III features the similar HC-XD, which functions similarly to the RC-XD, but can also climb up walls, Double Jump, and speed boost itself temporarily. | |

Remote-controlled model airplanes appeared in two episodes of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. television series: In "The Mad, Mad, Tea-Party", a mysterious man uses a model airplane to bypass the security measures at the headquarters of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement. The remote toy manages to drop a harmless bomb containing a taunting message. In the appropriately-named "The Deadly Toys Affair", a remote-controlled model airplane designed by a boy genius (Jay North) provides the Macguffin to start the plot, as Solo and Kuryakin need to protect the boy from being recruited by THRUSH. |

In Vigilante Diaries, The Geek begins the assault on the Cartel base by buzzing two sentries with a miniature drone and then landing it on ground in front of them. When they move forward to examine it, it explodes. | |

The RC Bomb Car, also referred to as RC-XD (Remote Controlled EXplosive Device), is a quick-use item featured in Rage (2011). It is a small radio-controlled car loaded with explosives. Nicholas Raine, as well as other people using them, can drive a bomb car through ventilation shafts or behind cover and then detonate the car. | |

Grand Theft Auto: The first game had explosive remote-controlled toy F1 cars. There's a series of side-missions in Grand Theft Auto III where Claude must use remote controlled toy cars to destroy gang cars as they pass. The missions are triggered by climbing into the Toyz van. There are two missions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City where Tommy uses a remote control toy aircraft to cause destruction. One has him using a helicopter to plant explosives in a building under construction while the other has him using a biplane to gun down gang members. A mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has Carl using a remote control toy airplane to destroy delivery vans for a remote control toy shop. The mission giver is the owner of a rival remote control toy shop. |

In Death Wish V: The Face of Death, one of Kersey's kills during his Roaring Rampage of Revenge is performed with a remote-controlled soccer ball full of explosives. The goon he kills picks it up puzzled when he notices it rolling on its own towards him and has a few seconds to crap his pants when he sees Kersey holding the remote control. | |

Variant in Runaway - small cars with bombs attached are used to attack a police car carrying a witness on the freeway but they are autonomous rather than remote controlled, homing in on a bug in the witness's bag. | |

Inspector Rex once featured an author whose story about a criminal toymaker was rejected by a publishing company, so he used toys to hunt down and destroy the editors who rejected his work, one by one. Much use was made of radio-guided vehicles/aircraft, with simple plunger-triggered bombs on board. | |

In The Dead Pool, Rook kills talk show host Nolan Kennard, another person on the dead pool list, using a radio-controlled car filled with C4 explosive under the victim's vehicle. Dirty Harry Callahan finds a toy car wheel at the crime scene, and later sees another toy car following him and Quan. Recognizing the threat, they flee through the city pursued by the toy car and Rook himself controlling it from his car, in a dramatic riff on the car chase scene. | |

Midsomer Murders: In "Shot at Dawn", a remote control toy car filed with explosives is run up alongside an old man in a wheelchair, although his friend manages to hurl it away before it explodes. The old man was actually the killer and was faking an attempt on his life to divert suspicion. As he had the remote control, he was sure not to detonate the bomb until it was well away from him. Not strictly speaking a toy, but in "Death by Persuasion" one Victim of the Week is murdered when a remote control delivery drone drops a razor sharp carving knife on him. |

Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? has Sabercats using remote controls to send miniature Driller-G vehicles after the player. The Driller-G vehicles are totally indestructible, and if you try to get to higher ground they can burrow underground to come after you (assuming you're not on a floating platform). Defeating the Sabercat will get rid of the Driller-G, and you can try to drop the machine down a pit. | |
