The Goblin combines exotic engineering acumen, [[Covenant]] manufacturing technology allowing the battlesuit to be automatically assembled, and a user interface design built specifically for Unggoy operators. Personnel of the [[United Nations Space Command]] agree that a single Goblin is a greater threat than an entire combat [[lance]] of unsuited Unggoy, albeit a little less dangerous than a [[File (unit)|file]]. | ||
Despite its size, the Goblin is incredibly mobile and capable of jumping up to two hundred feet into the air. The Goblin is able to use its "arms" to punch any opponent that draws too close, or utilize an [[electromagnetic pulse]] capable of disabling nearby vehicles. | Despite its size, the Goblin is incredibly mobile and capable of jumping up to two hundred feet into the air.

Goblins are armed with a double-barreled [[needle cannon]] capable of dealing significant damage to vehicles. The Needler can also be utilized as a multiple-launch system, capable of firing a barrage of [[blamite]] shards that can target up to eight different hostiles. This feature is powered by a device attached to the Goblin's backside and is disabled when the device is removed or destroyed. Accompanying the power device is a [[Shardstorm launcher]], capable of firing entire clouds of blamite needles. | Goblins are armed with a double-barreled [[heavy needle cannon]] capable of dealing significant damage to vehicles.
