Microverse

  • Arachnid (Microverse playset, 1997)
Arachnid was released as part of the Microverse line, Hasbro’s miniatures line meant to compete with Galoob’s “Micro Machines” (before Hasbro’s purchase of Galoob). He (or possibly it) transforms from a large spider into a large treaded base unit with a gun emplacement on a posable arm and gripper claws. Its abdomen opens up to reveal a landing strip and volcano-like hangar for two insectoid mini-vehicles. It came with two micro-figures, Megatron in his gator body and Razorbeast.
There are two variants; some use yellow plastic for the mini-vehicles and other accessories, while later releases use bright green plastic.
