Challenge 6:
Clockwork
Wow, glad to see some actual participation in these things! 
There were four MOCs made for Challenge 5, check out the content block on the left to see them.
This week's challenge is based off of a combination of a PM I got suggesting a theme and a MOC I made. The goal this week is to build a MOC that has gears that actually do something. Gears are often used as decorations on MOCs to make them look all mechanical-like, but the point of this challenge is to use them for their intended use: making things move. The MOC can be anything from a Toa Mata-type humanoid with functions to a machine of some sort. If you have any motors or anything you could use them, but you could also make a crank or Mata-type gear, or whatever. And the point is not just to have something work, it's to have it look cool while doing it. This is not a requirement, though, as it's hard to say what looks "cool." I imagine either Steampunk or some kind of futuristic theme would be awesome, but the only real requirement is that you have gears in your MOC that cause some sort of movement by rotating other gears.
I recently built a simple little thing that almost qualifies (but the gear doesn't rotate other gears), and when I've finished it I'll post it on the blog (and probably the BBC)as a sort of (not quite) example. Anyway, I know this challenge might be kind of hard (or not, it just seems like it might), but that's why it's a challenge! Good luck.
