Edit: I did some further digging and found this article.
In an interview following the performance, Welles said, “You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I’m destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.”
It's odd how some are saying that he "hated" playing Unicron...
That quote above, sounds like he wasn't a Fan of the Transformers, but it doesn't sound like he hated the role...
In a documentary for the film, Cast and Crew said that he enjoyed being able to play a giant "Planet"...
In a way, it stroked his ego... It's hard not to like that.
Not sure what to believe... But I'll believe cast and crew who worked with him on the film, over some random posters on the internet saying, he "Hated" the role, since they haven't been able to provide a source for that claim.
