WTF...how did they handle the anti-torque on that GIANT hecilopter. I
didn't see a tail rotor.


Jet tip.

Yeah there are several tip jet helicopters out there, The Atlas uses
hydrogen peroxide tip jets (steam).

The Hiller Hornet uses small karosene burning jet engines at the tips.

The Djinn uses bleed air from a turbine engine I believe.

Looks like that big beast at the end also uses blreed air from those
four turbines mounted on the fuselage.
