Anto was the antweight of Team Terrafonics that competed in the antweight battle of the first series of Robot Wars Extreme. It was box wedge shaped and armed with a flipper that was capable of flipping 3 kg. It lost in its only battle after losing its wheels and being shredded by Combat Ant. This was actually the 2nd version of Anto that also competed in Antweight World Series 5.
Team Terrafonics also entered Robot Wars with featherweight Gi-Ant-O.
Robot History
Extreme 1
Anto started by flipping Anty B, who flipped it back. It then got stuck on the floor flipper and lost one of its wheels, and was left jigging about by the arena wall. Combat Ant then attacked it, knocking off another wheel, shredding it and pushing it into the CPZ. Anto remained there, flipping but doing nothing until the end of the battle, where Combat Ant was declared the winner.

Trivia
- Aside from Gi-Ant-O, Anto was the only robot from Team Terrafonics that featured on the televised show, before Team Danby entered the 2016 series with Foxic.
