| The name or term "Josh" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Josh (disambiguation). |
Josh Nizzi is a freelance concept artist. A Champaign, Illinois native, Nizzi is well known among Transformers fans for his Movie concept of Long Haul. According to Nizzi, the design attracted the attention of Hasbro's Transformers design director Aaron Archer, who wanted him to do concepts for the then-unnamed Transformers sequel, and soon after, director Michael Bay's studio hired him on as a concept artist for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
His Long Haul design was the very first to be approved from any of the artists, and Nizzi was also responsible for Jetfire, the powered-up combined form of Optimus Prime and the redesign of Megatron.[1] For Dark of the Moon, Nizzi continued Megatron's evolution, as well as designing Shockwave, Soundwave and Laserbeak, the Wreckers and Dreads...pretty much everybody except Wheeljack and Brains.
He also designed the King, which he considers to be the best design job ever. Period.

Notes
- Nizzi also designed an Autobot AH-64 Apache named Longbow, which he entered for a USA Today contest to design a Transformer. Nizzi admitted being a professional, he was slightly cheating and wouldn't mind disqualification, but USA Today still showed off the character.[2] The design was later used as an inspiration for Tomahawk in the 2010 Transformers toyline.
