    I wished Hasbro would make sets/diorama pieces. Even if they were cheap like cardboard and plastic (like the upcoming SDCC Lab) that would be fine.

    That was pretty cool....would've been nice to see it in person. Imagine how much frustration went into the posing of all of those figures into one relatively small space and getting them to all stand.

    Very cool. Hasbro needs to make more of these diorama displays and action play sets, similar to Shockwave's Lab. Favorite parts are Bee dragon-punching Airachnid off a ledge, Megatron getting hailed by a bunch of Steves, and Smokescreen having a waterfall dam scene from The Fugitive moment with a Vehicon aiming a gun at his back.

    This is really coo. I wish I could have seen it in person. Although when I see this, I can just imagine someone sitting next to me going "The more you look at this, the more money I'm going to need to take out of your wallet to give to Hasbro."

    I got a good chuckle from the Vehicons rallying under the Megatron statue.

    Hmm Mysterious Space Craft image on Shockwave's console that's powered by the Forge of Solus Prime for some odd reason.

    One neat thing is Predaking coming out of the broken glass cloning chamber look at the top of the chamber. Half of a model of a Cylon Basestar from the Orginal Battlestar Galactica. Another one is where shockwave is getting ready to blast bulkhead.

    Dio images? I don't see so much as a single rainbow in the dark. Besides, I thought Dio had died and was well on his way to either Heaven or Hell.

    Actually, the whole thing is home made. I see totes, Garbage Cans, PVC fittings. Someone went to home depot/ lowes. Looks like some pewter colored paint and some lights. Nice Custom by Hasbro

    I agree, I would buy more Cyberverse if Hasbro made diorama sets. I could make whole battles accurate to shows or comics, without having to spend as much as I would with Deluxes and Voyagers.

    Did anyone notice that the dio has chopped up Metroplex pieces? Look for his legs & rifles.

    It's a shame these things get destroyed. Would be a great display piece.
