I'm afraid I don't think you'll be able to animate your cubes duplicating like that. :hmm:

But you could duplicate your cubes, put them into place and then animate their Visibilty's from off to on when you need them to appear. Is that good enough?

If you know some MEL, you could write a script. All your cubes are named pCube1, pCube2...pCube100, which makes it easy to put them in a 'for' loop and therefore key the visibility automatically.
