In order to create an iconic character you need to build him/her first (isn't that obvious :P). I'd suggest to go for a simple and complex look, maybe some kind of characteristic none of the others have.

It's also very important to show these characters often. Make him one of the main characters of your story, mention his name throughout it so the readers know who he/she is.

For example, Merall and Range are probably my most iconic characters. They both have a very important role in my comic and have their own character, with one being a shining hero who changes the dark tone of the setting from time to time, while the other is a tough female lead.

On terms to the new Bionicle line - I'm open to whatever they make. So ar, Okoto looks a little like Pizza island to me, as the regions aren't as well separated as on Mata Nui. I'm prefectly fine with the Hero Factory pieces as they are easy to use, don't break and have some nice new pieces like the armor plates, which are great for MoCing in general.
