There’s an exhibition called Industrial Origami that is currently running in the UK that features some work from Transformer designer Alex Kubalsky. Mister Kubalsky is the man who gave us such awesome figures such as; Classics Mirage, Animated Black Arachnia, Real Gear High Score and many more. The event is being put together by Jaguarshoes Collective. Alex himself will be doing a presentation and Q & A session on September 24th about transformable toys. If you live in the UK and are interested in attending an event that focuses on Transforming toys and their engineering, this is the event for you. The exhibition runs through November 1st.
You can check out the full press release after the break as well as a few images of his Transformers design work by clicking the title bar.

He was the only foreigner as an Australian working at Takara. And you are right, the molds designed by him are many people's including myself favorites. There was an interview telling how he entered Takara and became a Transformer designer, but I can't find the link now.

Outside of the japanese masterpiece designers I know nothing about who the toy designers are and who designed what, but I do like this guys work, those are some of my favourite molds from their respective toylines. Great work mr dude whom I never heard of before (maybe I should try to remember his name).
