Okay, I've had a chance to check them over now, and they do seem to be
largely mecha-oriented. My guess is the reason they didn't go over too well
is that they're mostly built using standard Bionicle/Throwbot frame styles.
I've bumped into some people who think that if it's not big enough to bang
your knee on, it's not worth looking at. I've also seen a few instances of
people building micro-mecha that were pretty popular, but if it's about the
size of a standard Toa it doesn't seem to enjoy as much popularity. Another
thing I've noticed is that image quality makes a big difference in what
people will think about the subject matter. If the images are tiny and
grainy, most people don't feel it's worth taking the time to look at them,
and transfer that feeling to the worthiness of the MOC in question. Most of
your images seem to be a little on the small side and a little fuzzy, and
improving either of those qualities would go a long way towards getting more
attention. From the way some of the images look, I'm guessing you did get a
better camera at some point, but you probably didn't reshoot any of the
previous photo groups (or maybe the previous MOCs are no longer intact to
reshoot?).
I've never really been a big fan of mecha myself (personal tastes), so I'm
not the best person to ask about them, but I was highly amused by the
Gremlin series (I think I saw them somewhere else before though). The stuff
I liked the most were the blue/black and blue/grey ships in the SpaceCraft
folder. I'm not sure what it is, but they remind me of something I saw
quite a while ago. It had similar wings that jutted forward, sloped down to
the sides, and had an inward sweeping hooked shape to them. Whatever it
was, I thought it was cool. I'm not as fond of the red one though. The
cockpit seems too deep and enclosed for the pilot to have any decent idea of
what's going on anywhere that's not directly in front of him.
