Ahhh, I love seeing MOCs like this. It makes me want to dust off my old Bionicle sets and piles of pieces, also. Personal anecdote aside, I think this is a fantastic piece of work. I really love how simple, yet complex the whole thing looks. The black, yellow, and silver color scheme is really well done, and I commend you for finding connector pieces that aren't red or blue. Sometimes that's all you can find, but they really throw off the whole look if you're not careful. From what I can tell, it looks like the tail also acts as a stabilizer, which is pretty clever in my opinion. Unwieldy or not, it's pretty snazzy. I'm assuming the Pohatu Nuva claws are supposed to be some sort of crown? I could be wrong, but that's what it looks like to me. Whatever they're there for, it's a very nice touch. The only thing that throws me off about the whole thing is that the legs just seem slightly too long, at least at the angle in the photo. I'm sure from another angle they look perfectly normal. Maybe in a different pose, even. As a comeback MOC, this is inspiring and encouraging. I've wondered if I could pull out my old Legos and still make MOCs like I did in my heyday, or if I somehow may have improved over my years of neglect; browsing through your old creations in your gallery (most of which are very cleverly done), this MOC is definitely an improvement, which gives me hope. I have no idea if the contest is over yet or not, but good luck, and enjoy your renewed interest in MOCing!
