Here's an excerpt of the interview with George Dunsay, senior vice president of reasearch and development at Hasbro, who confirmed that Floro Dery is the designer of the transforming planet Unicron, and here's the link http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php

Nevermore: When you say "Marvel", do you mean Marvel/Sunbow? Because currently it's considered an established fact that the original designs for the movie toys came from Sunbow, particularly from a Mr Floro Dery, who also claims credit for being largely responsible for the designs from the first two seasons of the cartoon series (before that, it was assumed that Marvel Comics' John Romita was responsible for those designs).

"George Dunsay: As far as who actually did the designs for the movie toys, I cannot say. I had assumed it was Marvel. In any event it wasn't Takara or Hasbro R&D. We in R&D who controlled everything to that point were told what was going to be made. This was a major departure for the process at Hasbro at that time. R&D always initiated the product, usually with Takara ideas.

The first two years of cartoon products follow Takara designs. Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, etc. designs were from Takara products, not from Griffin-Bacal.

Floro Dery - he could have come up with the transforming planet. Takara took the direction from R&D to create that product. We were asked by marketing..."
