I've tried and tried, but I just can't recapture that old spark. I know many of you won't believe it, but I used to be quite good at this. Sure, not every MOC was that great, but I had my moments. I especially loved finally completing a pet project I'd been struggling with. Now I sit down to build, and I just blank out, nothing works right.

I like the Red Kaiser. It looks like something out of Power rangers or some other similar program.
Hey, seeing as BIONICLE's Six-toa format is similiar to a Ranger squad and was possibly inspired by one... HERE BE RANDOM IDEAS:
Phase 1: Take six MoD members Phase 2: Make "Toa" models based on em Phase 3: You know how bootlegs of Lego have funny names and/or Engrish? Implement those in. EXaMPLE: Don't call it "Toa of Whimsy", call it "SUPER POWER FIGHT WHIMSICAL PURPLE", don't say he is Earth-element, say he is "HE IS THE POWER GOD OF EARTHLY NATURE AND THE GEMSTONE MAGIC", don't say "12 points of articulation", say "HE HAS THE TWELVE-FOLD FLEXIBILITY TOY FOR MAXIMUM ENJOY TIME" Phase 4: Get someone with photoshop and enough knowledge of box design (and japanese and engrish, of course) to make fake box-art dripping with broken english and lens-flare and cool-ness in the style of an cool action toy from the far east. Phase 5: Make moar for villians and obligatory gimmicks. Phase 6: ???????? Phase 7: PROFIT!... by s**tting bricks at what translating english to japanese and back to english can result in and what in the name of the almighty have you created by taking an idea from a gore-loving, annoying, silly, tentacle monster.
Basically= MoD * LEGO Bootleg feel interest style * Power Rangers= ????
I WISH TO APPLY FOR THE PLACE OF THE PURPLE GUY, MY WEAPON IS A BIG MALLET AND MY ELEMENT IS EARTH... I HAVE BLACK AND PURPLE ARMOR... AND NOW WE NEED A BLUE GUY, A GREEN GUY, A RED GUY, A YELLOW GUY, AND A WHITE GUY... AND... AND... oh wait this doesn't help your real problem? Rats.

Listen to some music while you build. I know I do, and that helps a lot. Also, don't go and think "I'm gonna build _____" Think, "Hmmm... Can I use _____ in a cool way" or "Hmmm... what shapes can I make using ______".

Since I'm still novice at MoCing I can't really offer any advice except STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S WAYS OF CONNECTING PIECES IN AN INTERESTING WAY. I mostly look at what others do and try to copy and learn said way of connecting pieces and then make an MoC

I haven't built an MoC in so long I don't think I should even attempt it. If the finished creation could talk it would probably be begging me to destroy it

Two hours later I ended up with a space marine chapter master. I know it's not bionicle related but its the same thing.

My workspace has gotten quite chilly lately.

Maybe reading something unusual might help ignite said spark?
I'll send you something cool in a bit, hang on.

Depending on how he takes it, he'll either: (A) show up and BAAAAAAAAAAAWWW at me [ ] (B) NEVAR poast here again [ ] (C) Do a Barrel Roll [ ] (D) Make an MoC inspired by something he saw in that [ ] (E) Say "TL;DR" [ ] (Place an 'X' in the correct box)
