*UPDATE*
I finished the modeling and I rendered a 'clay' version. Now to add the shaders...
I was inspired by a design I came across in one of the GI Joe comics I had. I decided to model the Nanomite, and so far I'm liking how it's coming out. I have not seen the movie, so I don't know how the comic book design compares to the movie. The front part is done, now starting the back part, and there's a lot more than I imagined at first to do for the back. Enjoy it, while I get back to finishing it...
Rendered with Mental Ray.
Modeled in Maya with subdivision surfaces.
