- "Immerse yourself even deeper into each fight with the BattleBots Arena FX module. When you and your opponent slam the ready button, you will initiate the lights, sound effects, and a two-minute battle sequence. Fight hard to the end, because when the timer reaches zero, whoever has done the most damage wins the round!"
- — The toy's official description
BattleBox Arena FX is an accessory for the BattleBots Arena playsets released by HEXBUG in 2019.
It serves as an add-on to any of the existing BattleBox sets for HEXBUG's remote control toys. The BattleBox Arena FX set includes realistic sounds from the television show, including voice clips from Chris Rose, Faruq Tauheed and one of the referees.
The Arena FX module out of its packaging.
Once the central button is pressed, a sequence of sounds will begin, beginning with ring announcer Faruq Tauheed's infamous line 'Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? It's robot fighting time!'. This is followed by the show's robotic voice which says 'Robots activate'.
It then says 'Red team ready', prompting the user to press the red button. Once pressed, the Arena FX module will repeat this for the blue team. The sounds which proceed the lights counting down the beginning of a fight follow, with crowd noises chanting 'Fight, fight, fight!'.
The buzzers counting to the beginning of the fight are accompanied by flashing yellow lights in the center of the module, which turn green to signal the start. A voice clip from Chris Rose saying 'Let the bot battle begin!' plays, followed by generic crowd noise for the duration of the battle. Irrespective of whether either robot has been knocked out, as the fight enters the closing stages, a referee begins a count-out to signal the final ten seconds of the battle. There is no sound to indicate the end of a fight.
The Arena FX set comes with a strip of Velcro, which when stuck to an indentation at the back of the module, can affix it to any existing BattleBox toy. The volume can also be adjusted by pressing and holding the power button.

Trivia[]
- Strangely, the sound loop for the Arena FX toy was designed around a two minute fight, whereas real-life BattleBots fights last up to three minutes.
