> "*Welcome to Christmas time in the Antweight Anarchy arena and while most are spreading the festive cheer, we're spreading debris across our warzone. It's a stocking full of sheer destruction with our Tag Team Terror, a gift of carnage in our Vengeance battle, a slice of insanity in our Pinball competition and our mighty Mayhem are bound to be crackers; so deck the halls with bolts and shrapnel so give us the mistle and forget the toe. We're carving up machines like a turkey dinner. This is Antweight Anarchy: Tinsel Torment.*"

## Trivia

* The first Tag Team Terror Battle (Rusty & Nexus vs Red Devil & Esper) is the longest match (that is not a rumble) in Antweight Anarchy currently, lasting 5:02.
* Remembering Rex drove itself into the pit, just like Cassius 2 did in the 2nd round.
* Nexus still won all its competitions it took part in and tied with a newcomer, Maverick.
* Dominus and Mimas were initially rejected as their weapons were too dangerous for the arena but still placed in to fight robots that were willing.
* This version of Mantis does not appear in Volume 2 as Mantis re-appeared with an upgraded version of the original design.
