No… no… no… definately no. I just think that it should look like a bionicle since it is meant to coexist in the same universe and fit in with the already canon apperances of other characters. I’m going back to the Nikila example the drawing looks great by all means but if you placed her as is next to a group of toa sets on a shelf she’ll look very out of place.
Here’s one example of such rule, “Your moc should be able to stand on a shelf together with other G1 one sets without looking to out of place or to the point that it can be mistaken for a regular Action figure.”
The above rule isn’t too much of a restriction and doesn’t exclude G2 or system parts while still making sure that the G1 look comes across an example of the opposite of this would be the Tuyet moc linked below:
Or the Makuta moc linked by me earlier in this topic.
An example of what I mean would be something like this:
I hope you’ll see what I mean with this example.
Please if I need to further explain myself let me know
