In the beginning of ''Toy Story'', Andy was shown to love taking Woody for a spin on RC. Later, when [[Buzz Lightyear]] came along, Andy was given a choice to bring one toy to [[Pizza Planet]]. Knowing Andy's choice would obviously be Buzz, Woody wanted a way to ensure he would be Andy's choice instead.

At the end of the film, when Andy's family was moving, Woody and a reborn Buzz were trying to get onto the [[Eggman Movers|moving truck]]. Although Buzz made it on alright, [[Sid Phillips|Sid]]'s dog [[Scud]] came running up and tried to pull Woody off. Buzz helped Woody by fighting Scud off, but now he was left behind. Looking for Andy's fastest toy in the boxes of toys in the moving truck, Woody quickly found RC. Dropping him off the truck to retrieve Buzz, the onlooking toys, especially Mr. Potato Head, thought he was trying to dispose another toy. Woody drove RC to Buzz, who was hiding under a car from Scud, and began to drive him back. He probably went back to being friends with Woody when he saw Buzz. Mr. Potato Head rallied a mob to lynch Woody by spinning him (which made RC spin as well), and [[Hamm]] jumping on him (which made RC jump, nearly losing Buzz). After Buzz lost Scud after a car accident blocked him off, the toys finally threw Woody from the truck, not believing he was saving Buzz. Woody was quickly picked up by RC, and Woody and Buzz began to catch up to the truck, putting RC on ''Turbo''. While Mr. Potato Head and his friends celebrated, [[Lenny]] caught sight of Woody riding on RC with Buzz. [[Bo Peep]] used Lenny for clarification, and found out that "Woody was telling the truth", and the repentant toys tried to assist. After [[Rocky Gibraltar]] lowered the truck's ramp, [[Slinky Dog|Slinky]] tried to pull them aboard. Due to RC's depleting batteries, Slinky became stretched to his limit, no longer able to hold onto Woody, which causes him to rebound back into the truck. RC later came to a complete stop, and Buzz reminded Woody about the rocket attached to Buzz by Sid. After Woody lit the rocket, Buzz held onto Woody, who held onto RC, keeping them down to Earth thanks to RC's aerodynamics, as they went flying through traffic. Once they approached the truck, Woody managed to throw RC back inside, and into Mr. Potato Head as he and Buzz took off into the air, finally catching up with Andy inside his [[Vehicles in Toy Story#Ms. Davis' minivan|family minivan]].

RC Car is Andy's remote control toy car that appears in Toy Story and Toy Story 2He can move on his own, but loses control once someone takes a hold of his remote. He can also communicate only through a series of beeps and whirs, though the toys (specifically Mr. Potato Head) can understand him perfectly.

Toy Story

(RC makes whirring motor sounds after Buzz falls out a window)
Rex: "Hey, everyone, RC's trying to say something! What is it, boy?"
Mr. Potato Head: "He's saying that this was no accident. I mean Humpty-Dumpty was pushed...by Woody!"

Woody and Buzz are riding RC in order to catch up to the truck.

RC played a big part in the first Toy Story.

In the beginning of Toy Story, Andy was shown to love taking Woody for a spin on RC, who was the first toy shown coming to life after Woody said the coast was clear where he is seen coming out of a closet. Later, when Buzz Lightyear came along, Andy was given a choice to bring one toy to Pizza Planet. Knowing Andy's choice would obviously be Buzz, Woody wanted a way to ensure he would be Andy's choice instead. Inspired by the Magic 8-Ball that he accidentally hid behind the desk, Woody tried to do the same to Buzz by bumping him with RC. Seeing RC though, Buzz dodged him, bringing about a chain reaction that got him knocked out of the window instead. Mr. Potato Head later picked up RC's claims that Woody did this, and all the toys began to ambush Woody (RC prevents him from backing up), although they were forced to retreat once Andy came back.

At the end of the film, when Andy's family was moving, Woody and Buzz were trying to get onto the moving truck. Although Buzz made it on alright, Sid's dog Scud came running up and tried to pull Woody off. Buzz helped Woody by fighting Scud off, but now he was left behind. Looking for Andy's fastest toy in the boxes of toys in the moving truck, Woody quickly found RC. Dropping him off the truck to retrieve Buzz, the onlooking toys, especially Mr. Potato Head, thought he was trying to dispose another toy. Woody drove RC to Buzz, who was hiding under a car from Scud, and began to drive him back. He went back to being friends with Woody when he saw Buzz. Mr. Potato Head rallied a mob to lynch Woody by spinning him (which made RC spin as well), and Hamm jumping on him (which made RC jump, nearly losing Buzz). After Buzz lost Scud after a car accident blocked him off, the toys finally threw Woody from the truck, not believing he was saving Buzz. Woody was quickly picked up by RC, and Woody and Buzz began to catch up to the truck, putting RC on Turbo. While Mr. Potato Head and his friends celebrated, Lenny caught sight of Woody riding on RC with Buzz. Bo Peep used Lenny for clarification, and found out that "Woody was telling the truth", and the repentant toys tried to assist. After Rocky Gibraltar lowered the truck's ramp, Slinky tried to pull them aboard. Due to RC's depleting batteries, Slinky became stretched to his limit, no longer able to hold onto Woody, which causes him to rebound back into the truck. RC later came to a complete stop, and Buzz reminded Woody about the rocket attached to Buzz by Sid. After Woody lit the rocket, Buzz held onto Woody, who held onto RC, keeping them down to Earth thanks to RC's aerodynamics, as they went flying through traffic. Once they approached the truck, Woody managed to throw RC back inside, and into Mr. Potato Head as he and Buzz took off into the air, finally catching up with Andy inside his family minivan. RC appears at the end of the film in Andy's new bedroom alongside Woody and Roly Poly Clown before hearing what Andy got for Christmas.

Toy Story 2

Although Buzz had dropped RC's remote on the road once his batteries were depleted, Andy seemed to have found it or bought a new one, as he was seen once again controlling RC with it before leaving for Cowboy Camp. RC was seen briefly in Woody's nightmare and later appeared during the yard sale roll call. RC also attends the reenactment of Woody's kidnapping. RC is last seen during the ending when the toys gathered around Wheezy as he sang "You've Got a Friend in Me". RC's role is much smaller since most of the film takes place out of Andy's bedroom.

Toy Story 3

In Toy Story 3, RC appears briefly in the home videos Ms. Davis makes of Andy.

Andy Toy Story3-5

RC's cameo at the beginning of Toy Story 3.

Toy Story 4

RC was seen in the flashback prologue set Nine Years prior to the events of Toy Story 4. He was accidentally left outside during a rain storm and was trapped in a torrent of water. Together the Toys pulled him out before he could be swept into the sewers.
