Regarding the question whether it is a Bionicle MOC or not -
If the majority of parts are Bionicle or related parts such as technic, then it
can be considered a Bionicle MOC. Having a large number of non Bionicle parts
does not necessarily disqualify it from this category. The MOC also does not
have to be related to the Bionicle story; Autobots are alright.
One question you need to ask yourself is would my MOC be better in another theme
i.e. mecha or maybe space. If your MOC is largely a brick based creation, then
it would probably be better in mecha. If your creation is based on parts that
have an organic/mechanical feel, then Bionicle may be the right theme.
To use an example, take Bryce McGlone's spider MOC recently posted in
lugnet.build.mecha. This can be considered a Bionicle MOC even though the black
pieces that make up the skin come from non-Bionicle sets.

P.S. Original post was not cross posted as it was intended as a feeler to judge
and stimulate initial interest. The full announcement post will be coming
shortly.
