would be appreciated.

Hi, firstly, nice work! As a rule of thumb, i really don't like most purely
bionicle creations, as they all look the same to me, but this one looks
different. However, i would still classify this as 'Bionicle" and not mecha. I
say this beacuse that is my view of mecha, although not necessarily everyone
elses.

I really would have expected someone else to respond to your post, but i guess
people are too busy plugging their own stuff to take the time and post on other
peoples stuff ( a forum WON'T work if people just post their own stuff, and
never give feedback)

Now i really can't give you much help from a technical standpoint, as i really
can't tell much about bionicle MOCs, but i can say that you should really try to
add more basic bricks to your designs. There are plenty of bionicle builders,
but only a few brick-mecha builders. I would suggest trying to add bricks to the
bionicle stuff, to make it seem more solid and 'fill the holes' that bionicle
parts create.

if you are looking for somewhere to post your bionicle stuff, i would suggest
bzpower.com . I dont meant that it DOESNT belong here, i just mean that youd get
a better response of there :)
