"Best of the best?" Well, thanks, but I'd have to rank folks like: Colin Gutierrez, Karim Nassar, Jeremy Sproat, and Ken Takeuchi as the premier mecha builders that I've seen.

I think you're referring to Joel Kuester. He has a few transformer models, one of them is the veritech-looking one called jetfire. (URL) Jr. Master Grade Lego Models (25 years ago, 28-Feb-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
