What is a good way to learn how to draw machinery/robots. And I'm not talking about those box shape things like wall-e. I'm trying to learn how to draw those more complicated ones like transformers. thnx.

take classes. or go search a picture on the internet of a robot and trace it first then practice drawing it free hand

I would start by copying a picture of a robot that you want to draw like a Transformer. From there think of different ways to add in your own techniques to make your own piece. Eventually if you keep changes things and adding and combining the shapes in different ways you will come out with a very different product from where you started.
