New Gnomon DVD by Transformers 2 artist.
Hey, I wanted to plug my good buddy's new Gnomon DVD.
Josh Nizzi, former Art Director for Day 1 Studios and Volition, went freelance a while back and ended up doing the concepts and initial model work for a number of the robots in Transformers 2.
His work is quite amazing. If you want a detailed look at his methods, I recommend:

The robot he creates for the tutorial shares a lot in common with the TF2 robots.

From the description:
In this DVD Josh Nizzi reveals his techniques for designing robots. He demonstrates his entire robotic design process, from sketching concepts in Photoshop® and creating a rough 3D model in 3ds Max®, to rendering the model in HyperShot and finishing the design in Photoshop®, Josh's approach is particularly valuable in a production setting because it enables the artist to deliver high quality concepts very quickly while simultaneously producing a proxy 3D model that could be used in pre-vis or as a starting point for a final model.

Well, it isn't a Transformer from the movie, it was created specifically for this Gnomon DVD. But its design, and more specifically the process for concepting and creating it are the same as used on TF2
