Maybe a little of both. Rudat probably saw what Hama was doing in the comics, having Destro leave Cobra and revealing that Destro has his own private army (this happens in issue #57, about a year before the Iron Grenadiers toys appear in retail) and decided to run with it and designed the Iron Grenadier toys to take advantage of the direction Hama was taking the comics. Alternatively, it's possible that Hama had been informed of Hasbro's plans to spin Destro off into his own toy sub-line, and he began planting the seeds for the stories that would eventually culminate in the Iron Grenadiers' debut in issue #69. There's really no way to tell except to ask both Hama and Rudat, and I'm willing to bet both guys have probably forgotten who did what.
