Custom BIONICLE Wiki:Voting Center/Archive/Featured Images

This is a compilation of all the entries which have won the Featured Articles category over the years.

File:Takua Nui.PNG
This time's featured image is a sprited map of Takua Nui.

File:Maskofjokes.JPG
This time's featured image is a photographic image of the Mask of Jokes. It was uploaded by Toatapio Nuva.

File:Wiki.png
This time's featured image is our own logo, made and uploaded by .

File:Vezok Fight.jpg
This time's featured image is a photo of two Matoran characters, Miira and Mataiti, fighting off the evil Vezok in Piraka Attack. It's a quite good-quality photo, so let's admire it for a week, shall we?

File:Gatris nui rising.png
This time's featured image is a picture of Gatris Nui rising for the first time in a thousand years. He is seen rising from the gaseous planet Kowahnok, of the Solis Magna system. Welcome back, Gatris!

File:New Takanuva.jpg
An image of the transformed Blaze makes it to the Featured Image section this time. The image doesn't only show a good MOC, but it's also clear and a good quality image. So let's admire this Toa of Light and Fire in his second form until it's time for the next Featured Image.

File:Tapioscanisterinspace.png
This week's Featured Image is not a photograph of a MOC, but rather an edited picture. It resembles the canister in which Tapio is in a coma. Of course, he's not in there anymore, cause he kinda became a Great Spirit. So in the end, he didn't spend much time in the canister. But the picture is still beautiful, so let us admire it for this week!

File:AltronPose.jpg
KID: Aww... a cute and cuddly wabbit! Mommy, can I pet it?

ALTRON: *blasts hole through center of Earth*

An awesome titan MOC makes it to the Featured Image this week. Created by, it shows true BIONICLE building talent. Real tall, quite sturdy — everything you could think of to make a well-rounded titan.

But just one thing: what's with the bunny ears?

File:Matoran Universe.png
Holy Mata Nui.

Literally.

This time around, the featured image is not that of a giant robot, but it's close enough. This, my friends, is Mata Nui. Or at least, his internal organs. Come to think of it, Daxia does look a little like a green liver. Wait... so when Teridax annihilates Daxia, he destroys his own liver? I'm confused now...

Anyway, so this thing took a while to make. (I should know. I made it.) So the very least you could do is take your mouse and click on the picture. Pwease? Pwetty pwease?

File:Ganon machine.jpg
'We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.'

It appears that our beloved Toa Ganon has been assimilated into the Collective. What could possibly have happened?

Anyway, since this is such an awesome MOC, I don't want him to be un-assimilated anytime soon. So now, users and Trekkies alike, look at this assimilated Borg and gasp in awe at the pure awesomeness. Oh, and be sure to give a few hundred boxes of chocolate for taking this awesome picture.

Video:All That Glitters...
left|250pxThis time, we have a very interesting Featured Image. It's not a regular picture, oh no. It's a video.

So... what is this video about, exactly? Well, this video depicts nothing less than the start of the final climatic battle between Mata Nui and Makuta Teridax. And as if that weren't epic enough, it's pretty decent stop-motion as well.

Now, PLAY THAT VIDEO!

File:GMS Miserix.jpg
So... What could this possibly be?

File:SCAN0018.JPG
"And that is the last time I have beans before work..."

File:Aliki and Gairon's boards.jpg
This here is an image of a pair of inanimate objects. No, you can't bribe them.

File:Exo-Bohrok Battle Tank.png
This here is 's entry to BZP's Expanded Multiverse contest. I don't know what this contest is about, I don't know what it's for, but I know that this is one well-drawn pic and if someone gave me a link I'd go there and vote for this.

Who agrees with me?

File:Gairon Mechanical Rahkshi.JPG
How odd. remember the Mechanical Rahkshi? (The things in the section right above this one.) Well, now we have a purple Matoran... um... looking at its insides. Pretty odd thing to do, don't you think? Oh, well. This is Custom BIONICLE, and we have to get used to odd things.

Like me, for instance...

File:Bendy Katron.JPG
Well, Ids is ruling the Main Page, now, isn't he? :P

Anywho, here we have evedence of Ids5621's mastery of MOCing and cutting pieces, with this, hot-tempered Matoran's arms. Yeah, pretty cool, huh?

File:MVT and Zoruxx.png
Again, Ids has dominated the wiki with his epic MOCs. This time, it features this bad Toa guy named Zoruxx who is standing behind this epic success in the MOCing business known as an MVT. This image is really cool, with brilliant effects to give Zoruxx epic eyes. Face it, we all knew one of Ids images were gonna get this spot again. XD

File:Ganon set.jpg
This week, Ids has decided to throw us another image of awesomeness for the position of Featured Image. Usually we would expect an image of duels with burning fire in the backround, and guys with glowing eyes and big weapons. But that is not this week's image.

This week, we present to you the unique image of Toa Ganon on a Glatorian Legends '09 canister, designed to look as if he were an actual, buyable set (which would have been epic!). The image is really well grafted to the canister; and the image is well-rendered to suit it's purpose. As such, we cannot deny this picture is very, very epic. Well done, Ids!

File:Toa of Darkness.png
So, this week our featured image is, well this. Appearently made by Zmanwarrior, this depicts some kind of Toa standing with the moon and the stars framed behind him, making this epic and slightly menacing pic. I'm actualy tempted to build this as a set, it I could see the lower body however.

Well, there's not much else I can say except this a really nice pic! Well, that's it for this week's FI.<br style="clear:both;">

Video:My Intro
left|250pxHmm.* How unusual.* A video.* And not only is it unusual that it's a video, it's also a very unusual video.* For starters, it seems to be rather useless, except for that made it, since it's an introduction of sorts.*

Or something.*

Anyway... uh... congratulations to Jareroden for getting a YouTube account... and, uh...*

Something.*


 * I don't know anything meaningful to put here because I'm bored.

File:Zwardmorder (7).jpg
Right, I have finally decided to update the main page at last XP And what better way to start than with our Featured Image.

This week, we have the very creepy Skrall known as Zwardmorder eclipsed in the shadowy feel of night. It depicts him in a hunting/stalking pose, almost as if he's readying to descend on his prey and deliver the killing strike. Whatever his motive, Zwardmorder has made this picture very spooky, if a little blurry, but the darker aura of the image suits his mood and personality nicely.

All in all, it's a lovely image, for a lovely psychopath.

File:BlackLightning.jpg
It's been so long since we updated the main page that I'm starting to consider firing the rest of the admins. Or at least telling them off.

Ooh, but what is this? Well, it isn't anything but a fine example of what you can do in a few minutes with Photoshop. But still, 'tis cool, no? I mean, would you like to be on the receiving end of that antimatter blast? Ah, I thought not.

In case you wanted to know, which you most certainly don't, the person in the picture is Suntrah. There. I already gave you more information than you asked for. I think I should be going now. Have a happy new year.

File:MoS.png
Right, in order to prevent Slice from firing me and this lovable bunch of work colleagues from our jobs, I have decided to update the Featured Image section. And as Slice requested, it will be in a non-formulaic manner intent on actually reviewing the image, rather than teasing it.

Right let's see what we've got. This week, we've got a picture of a moon reflecting its bright waves of moonlight on the ocean surface of Spherus Magna. This scenery would look quite peaceful had we not had the face of the supposedly-dead Makuta Teridax fading into the picture giving you his iconic death stare, and a look that would suggest he either has another evil plan, or that he will haunt us all from beyond the grave in the dreaded realm of... err... the Underworld?

Anyways, enough with the comic relief attitude. This picture is a well-designed art-piece with a nice fade-in-fade out effect, which was made by our very own ! His skills in image making, blending, designing, and picture composing deserve a nice round of applause. The creator of this image should be very proud! Hooray! Now excuse me as I celebrate the fact that I put the effort into writing this review and that I have not lost my job yet. XP

File:Zilia.jpg
As it seems like all the other admins are gone for the time being, I'll take it upon myself to write the FI for this week. *evilgrin*

Now, there's not really much I can say about who this is without giving away future GMS spoilers, but I will tell you that this is the Roodaka/Lady Macbeth character of the storyline, a merciless, calculating, and generally evil old witch. (And yes, I know I'm not technically allowed to say "evil" because it violates policy, but I'm saying it here anyway.) When she first appears (and she will, in time), you'll probably find that she is the least likable character in the saga, period. She is a complete monster. And considering that we have people in the saga that have killed hundreds of innocents without a shred of remorse, that's saying something.

But enough about the character and more about the pic. This is a really good image, if I do say so myself: possibly one of the better ones I've ever taken of my MOCs. While she looks at you menacingly, you'll probably notice the complementing leaves in the background and the contrasting cement in the front. <insert famous photographer here>'s got nothing on me.

File:Ganon BZP.jpg
Hmm. What could this picture be? It's the BZP main page, yes. It has articles on it. Articles that are made of text and images. Unless you are completely unfamiliar to the website and the Web in general, there is little especially of note here.

Wait... do I recognize anything? Hmm. I could swear I saw something familiar. Nothing anyone from any other site would care about, really, but still...

Interesting...

File:VEZOK.png
Well, what is this? It seems we have a fiendish but stupid Skakdi loitering on our main page. He looks armed and dangerous, so I would suggest not approaching him, even though he has a diminutive size.

Mata Nui, this is starting to sound like Hero Factory...

File:STA71994.JPG
There was once a really cool pic Which was entirely sick: It showed the Toa Protectorate Stopping to pose for a minute, And I know it's a bad limerick.<br style="clear:both;">

File:Spotlight.PNG
Perhaps this is picture is unfairly featured--it was voted for not in terms of picture quality, but rather on the terms of what it means for the site. However, the number of positive votes for this was overwhelming, and so it stands as featured image of this week.

This time around, we have a miniature MOC of Vezok (created by our very own Ids5621) with a layer of text magically placed over it. At first glance, the significance of this image is difficult to understand, but to a Custom BIONICLE user, the meaning is clear: this is the picture for our Wikia spotlight. Many members have worked hard to reach the spotlight position, and this simple image has come to mean a lot to us. For that alone, this image is worthy of becoming featured for this week.

Until next time...

File:CIMG1231.jpg
Well, this is a bit of an... er... odd picture. This would appear to be Davix, Lord of Air and music lover, using his power staff (I think) as a guitar. Who'd'a thunk it?

More pictures are available here. Hopefully, those will provide a bit more context to this strange image...

Alright, I don't know what else to say, so I'm just going to resort to filler now.

Video:BIONICLE: First Class
left|300px Well what do we have here? I know, right? Its a BIONICLE trailer for that new movie, X-Men: First Class. Let's examine it. Timing: Good. Editing: Decent. Selection of characters: Very nice. Quality: Very, very nice. Final verdict: VERY, VERY WELL DONE! 10/10!

So, it seems has made his way onto the main space with a clean, original and very good video he's cooked up on his barbecue computer. With surprisingly good quality in both audio and image, as well as great timing, this video demonstrates effort and commitment to a very nice, fan-made piece of work.

Now, go and vote for a new Featured Image, before Vakama realizes he's not really Charles Xavier, and performs a Nova Blast in frustration.

File:Canjar A-01.JPG
Oh my! It looks like Canjar has captured his dinner! But let's take a closer look at this image:

A glorious angle, yes, this angle captures the lunge he took to take down this Matoran. Near perfect lightening - no annoying camera flash. Wonderful character accuracy. What else would Canjar do for fun? Epic colours. Clearly the Onu-Matoran is earth coloured. Clearly Canjar is identifiable.

Yes, I defiantly see why this was nominated for featured image now!

File:Fractures Kapura's Death.JPG
Well, this is certainly not a good day for Kapura.

Appearently, he has met a bloody fate at the hands of a machine gun wielding bad guy with a rare mask mounted on his chest, and an Ignika in hand. What a gruesome fate for a Turaga!

All jokes aside, this is an exceptionally good image, in angle, lighting, detail, and just overall epic(b)ess!

Kudos to Matoro1 for this astounding pic! :D

File:SAM 2287.jpg
Well, let's take a look at this interesting image.

It seems that a Matoran here is cleaning out his apartment...with a vacuum. It also seems as though he's being pulled into some strange netherworld (Or maybe into the vacuum itself) as the image is very stretchy.

It is quite a good image, albiet very random. Ah, well, I suppose that's what you've come to expect from CBW!

File:Atraks_PIC2_copy.jpg
Since I know I can't write a spontaneous limerick or poem describing how awesome this image is, I will simply honor it with a few short words of my own.

This image is certainly amazing. The silver background, the MOC (Which seems to be Atraks), and his claws, which are almost beckoning at you menacingly. The MOC is very-

Wait. I'm supposed to be discussing the quality of the image, not the MOC. But after running through the words epic, amazing, awesome, and cool, I seem to have run out of adjectives to describe the epic(bess) of this picture.

Ah, well, it seems I'm out of room anyway. XD

File:Fullview.jpg
Well, this time around, this week's featured image appears to be a drawing of some kind of old, patched-together toy that would only appropriately originate from the island of Karzahni. All insults jokes aside, this is a very good drawing by a very good artist.

This piece of work shows that even an intimidating patchwork of mechanical parts can look quite good with some work, especially this monster. The posture of this intriguing devil makes it even more intimidating, not to mention the single eye and claws. All in all, a very detailed masterpiece, something I'd expect to receive only the highest honor of becoming a true BIONICLE set. (Who knows, I might even make a skin dedicated to this thing.)

Not only is this character impressive, even the small details, such as the shadowing, makes this perhaps one of the best pieces of artwork on the wiki. Good work, Ashkail.

File:MerserArt.JPG
This time, we see a very familiar face on the frontpage of our wiki. Mersery. Once again lends himself as decoration, albeit in a different form then what we used to. This time, he has been drawn, with much succes I must say. The details on Merdery's Armor make him really intricate. and the background is nicely filled with tow islands and two mortal enemies. The use of Matoran Lettering adds to it aswell.The One who made this, should be really proud of himself.

Mersery himself stands, despite all the intricacy of details, shapes and styles, in the center of this all, holding his lightstone with a firm grip. The look on his face shows his knowledge and wisdom, and his body indicates a lean, yet muscular figure. The drawing, in short, has really captured the core of the character, in my opinion. This is only strenghtened because he is unarmed.

I think the Fezmaster did a really great job with this drawing of his self-moc and that he should continue drawing many more characters. Milenium on paper would be EPIC!

Kickball, anyone?

Video:Bionicle Effect 2 Trailer
300px|left

Well, I must say, Echo 1 has outdone himself with this excellent combination of scenes from BIONICLE: The Mask of Light and BIONCILE 2: Legends of Metru Nui, with audio from a trailer of the game Mass Effect 2. Despite a few moments where the videos and audio are not fully synced with eachother, for the most part this goes along perfectly, with the audio corresponding with the scenes portrayed. Cheers for Echo 1!

Video:The Misadventures of Onipex and Pals: Zombie
300px|left Right, it's about time we get these updates done and you all know it! This week, we have another video as our Featured Image, this one being created by our very own. This video is an episode in his ongoing comedy sitcom series, The Misadventures of Onipex and Pals, with this episode being among Ids' personal favorite episodes that he has made so far. The episode revolves around two of the main characters stuck in their apartment whilst a thunderous storm hits the area.... Oh, and there's a horrendous zombie outbreak too.

From there on, it deals with the zombie infection humorously getting out of hand. In addition, a number of CBW users also voice act in this episode. Ids5621, myself,, all voice characters in this installment of Misadventures, which has become a favorite amongst many fans of the series. The fluid, animation, voice acting and scenery all play an important role in establishing this as a really great episode.

This time around, we welcome back an art piece by to the Main Page as our Featured Image. This picture depicts its artist's interpretation of the mysterious creators known as the Great Beings, a collection of men and women who are responsible for much of the canon BIONICLE storyline. For quite a while, the physical appearance of the Great Beings has been mostly left up to the fans' ideas, with a general image of mysterious beings cloaked in dark robes being accepted. This picture, however, decides to go into far much greater detail.

The Great Being's robes in this art are shown to be decorated with the ancient runes and markings of another time (alongside the notable symbol of the Three Virtues), with his robes being mixed colour scheme of black and beige. In addition to the walking stick/staff the enigmatic creator uses, another notable feature of this drawing is the actual face of the Great Being, which many artists try and avoid drawing. Very suitably, it shares a resemblance to the faces of the Agori and Glatorian, fellow natives of Spherus Magna. Overall, this picture is a very accurate impression of what we imagine a Great Being may look like, with thorough attention paid to the smal details of the character. A very big well done to AshkailWarrior792!
