MicroVerse was Hasbro's 1996 miniatures line meant to compete with Galoob's Micro Machines (before Hasbro's purchase of Galoob).

Aside from the two Beast Wars-themed sets, there were also MicroVerse toys based on Tonka and G.I. Joe (though a more generic G. I. Joe, rather than the "Real American Hero" variety commonly crossed-over with Transformers), as well as sets based on outside licenses such as Batman, Superman, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Goosebumps|{{#if:||Goosebumps}}]], and even [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Harley-Davidson|{{#if:||Harley-Davidson}}]].

Beast Wars "Predacon Arachnid Micro Playset"


Notes

[edit]
Wouldn't "Ani Combat" have made more sense?
  • In Europe, the Microverse branding wasn't used. Instead, both Orcanoch and Arachnid were alternatively available in packaging simply branded either Beast Wars/Biocombat (English/Spanish/Italian) or Beast Wars/Ani Mutants (French/Dutch/German).
