Participation in the modern fandom
Unlike most creators who had a hand in the early years of the franchise, Floro Dery seems to troll Transformers message boards looking for mentions of him and his work, and then posts under various aliases to inflate his own legend and verbally attack fan and foe alike.
Under the pseudonym Ote, he has repeatedly claimed that those who do not praise his work are racists.[1]
Trivia
- In the opening credits for Scramble City, Floro's first name was incorrectly spelled "Frolo".
