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, Goosebumps, and even Harley-Davidson.
