Since I have a strong feeling I’ll be doing some more Uniter/Creature Concepts, I thought I might as well make a topic for them all. Suggestions are welcome. Feel free to add your concept MOC here as well.
Kopaka and Melum:
I made Kopaka quite small (He’s only 63 pieces)
Place holder parts;
Lower legs - New star wars shell.
Grey tube - Trans blue tube.
Melum I gave a pullback motor and a working jaw. He looks full on the front, but on the side you can see he is quite hollow. (If only I had no part limitations!)
Luckily Kopaka covers it up.
You extend the wheel on his stomach to lean him forward and allow him and Kopaka to charge!

Anyway this MOC was a lot of fun and there is still more to come!
Melum is perfect. He’s an awesome mix of technology and nature, what bionicle has always been, and he looks a lot like the rahi of '01.
but he’s even better when kopaka is riding him. I love that his front claws lift up to drive. And he has a perfect motorcycle shape as well. Perfect for a bionicle joust,
Melums head is a little awkward but I understand you aren’t a designer that can just order up a new piece. You did a great job with that in mind.
Even if the actual set is nothing like this this is a fantastic moc.
Can you please elaborate how I can make it better?
It couldn’t handle the POWAH
The function was mostly chosen because I saw a lot of fans express that Kopaka sould be a lot more knight-like. So I gave him a lance and thought it’d be cool to have him joust.
Also I imagined Melum to be a saber tooth tiger/wolf thing.
Rather meant some type of collar that they insert on the creature.
Edit: Here’s my version. I know about the whole fake leak thing but that head suits it so well.
Not really besides the fact that it can close and open it’s mouth and can snap it if rubberband was attached.
There are balljoints on the middle so it has vertical torso articulation. I do hope the actual thing has some more interesting gimmick. t’s hard to make functions for figures of this size
