BIONICLEsector01:Featured Chronicle/History
From BIONICLEsector01, working on 1,551 articles.
< BIONICLEsector01:Featured Chronicle The Featured Chronicle is one of the oldest BS01 Wiki activities. Once a week, members will vote on an article to display on the front page. Voting was held for over a year up until the Wiki was shut down. When it returned in August of 2007, all article content was lost, and thus voting could no longer be held for the Featured Chronicle. However, on February 4, 2008, the section was revived and voting has continued since. This page is a list of all articles that have been selected as the Featured Chronicle since February 8, 2008.
January 5th
Boat
♪ Row, row, row the boat, gently down the stream... ♫
Indeed, the Boat is our Featured Chronicle for the week. Despite its insignificance, the Boat page packs an amazing load of professionally written content. In fact, the page is so good that it is elected the Featured Chronicle for the week!
Guess you don't have to be significant, to achieve great things. Now let's go make a hole in the boat, and see how quickly it sinks. :-)
December 13
Bohrok
Bohrok, the robotic menaces of 2002, which later revealed to be working for the good of the Great Spirit Mata Nui, is our Featured Chronicle for the week.
How things have changed since 2002! Back in the day, the Bohrok were seen as the Toa Mata's greatest foes. The Toa fought against the constant rampage of the Bohrok swarms as they attempted to clear away villages at a fierce rate. 5-6 years later, it was finally revealed that the Bohrok were actually an essential part of Mata Nui's system, being responsible for clearing away unnecessary parts of his camouflage system and allowing the Great Spirit to penetrate through it when he is ready.
Here on BS01, the Bohrok page has been organised into an extremely informative page, detailing their history, types and abilities. The images also illustrate the Bohrok's true potentials. Therefore, let us congratulate these shells for being our Featured Chronicle for the week!
December 6
Metru Nui
The City of Legends, the grand island of Metru Nui is our Featured Chronicle for the week.
Located at the most northern tip of the Matoran Universe, Metru Nui is a fundamental part of the universe. It is an important trade location, essential for the health of the Great Spirit Mata Nui (cuz it's his BRAIN) and has been fought over by many factions for its potential of power and dominance. Many historical events took place on or around Metru Nui, such as the Toa/Dark Hunter War and the Matoran Civil War. A lot of the most famous Toa teams, the Toa Metru, Toa Inika and the Toa Mangai have originated from Metru Nui or stationed on Metru Nui for a long period of time.
Therefore, let us congratulate this grand city for being the Featured Chronicle of the week, and to all those poor Matoran who had to move this tremendously huge island to our headquarters, and back to where it was once the week is up.
November 22
Toa Mangai
Entering the headquarters this week is not one, or two, but eleven Toa! And what's more stunning, they are all zombies! That's right, our FC this week are all dead!
For those who don't know, these eleven dead corpses are the Toa Mangai, a giant team of Toa which is plagued by traitors. Amongst one of the members is our grand hero, Toa Lhikan, and our beloved spider-like Dark Hunter, Nidhiki!
Regardless, the FC don't like dead corpses, so we burned their corpses.
November 15
Mata Nui
And stampeding into the headquarters of the FC this week, is the enormous and omnipotent Mata Nui, the Great Spirit!
This giant robot...thing has awoken after 1,001 years of slumber, sleeping underneath layers of crust, dirt, and rock, and made an island to cover his face. We at the FC understand why he does that; after all, taking care of the universe is as tiring as beating people with sticks, and everybody deserves a nice long sleep.
Since most of Mata Nui is still covered in rock and dirt with the word "SPOILERZ!!!" printed on them, we won't go any further. Why don't you go to the page and read about this dirty old robot?
November 8
Hau
After a period of wiki turmoil, being thrown through dimensions by Brutaka and being forcefed tuna, we've finally found ourselves with a Kanohi Hau to protect us from those silly happenings and return safely to Earth. As thanks to the Hau, it is our Featured Chronicle for the week!
The Hau is the Mask of Shielding, and it is used for a ton load of things. The symbol for the Great Spirit Mata Nui, the mask of the heroic Toa Nuva and Toa Lhikan, little babies dumping it onto their faces and laughing with glee, or just thrown into the Protodermis Reclamation Yard to be smushed up into liquid. The Hau has also became the symbol of bravery and, well, pure awesomeness.
So there you go, our Featured Chronicle for the week. Have fun smashing it to bits afterwards!
October 16
Brutaka
Still enjoying the Bahrag? Well, unfortunately, your time is up, and the great Brutaka is itching to teleport you to his side and pat you on the back.
Big, powerful and gold, Brutaka trumpets into the spotlight of the Featured Chronicle for the week. (Or the fortnight, if the system messes up again.) Being a member of the Order of Mata Nui, it therefore means that he wields great power, a mental shield and no cookies. His Kanohi Olmak allows him to send himself or others flying through to other dimensions and universes, where they can suffer the worst possible death or grow as fat as a whale.
Therefore, let us congratulate this big piece of Order of Mata Nui thing as our Featured Chronicle for the week!
October 5
Bahrag
The red and blue Bohrok queens, the Bahrag are our Featured Chronicle for this week.
The Bahrag are the controllers of the Bohrok swarms. The Bahrag commissions and awakens the Bohrok swarms if ever a mysterious signal is given. When this happens, the Bohrok swarms will go forth and cleanse the island of Mata Nui of all matter, except those created by the Great Beings. The Bahrag are symbiotic, and thus draws power from each other. With all six powers of the Bohrok, the Bahrag can eat their foes alive if they can defeat them.
So there you go, our Featured Chronicle of the week! Oh, and a special reminder to all those fools still traveling in the Sculpture Fields, your free FC pass has now been expired and you will now be brutally slaughtered by rain of rocks.
September 14
Sculpture Fields
On the island city of Metru Nui, you are most likely to see the following things: A lot of something, or a lot of nothing. In this case, the Sculpture Fields turns out to be a lot of nothing, but that's what makes it so important.
Here, a visitor can find themselves lost and have nobody to guide them out, as the inhabitants are most likely asleep or too focused on the sculptures being carved here. After a while, one could find themselves trampled over by a herd of Kikanalo, chased by Vahki for wandering around or getting hit by hammers thrown by Po-Matoran sculptors for disturbing their works.
But during a normal day, one would find the Sculpture Fields strangely fascinating. After all, it's not often one would come across a place where the only things there are sand, unfinished sculptures, finished ones, and more sand. If you ever go to Metru Nui (Which is impossible, so don't bother), be sure to pay the Sculpture Fields a visit.
September 7
Axonn
A giant axe wielding titan who is capable of chomping and chopping off people's heads without warning, Axonn is the Featured Chronicle for the week, and yet another Order of Mata Nui member. (At this rate, they might as well declare themselves openly...)
First introduced into the storyline when he popped up almost randomly at Matoran Balta, Axonn has since became one of the favorites of the fans. His amazing strength, brutal force, wisdom and his heavy appearance which makes some think he's "fat", was especially showcased when he grabbed two of the Piraka, spun them around and threw them away. (Oh my.)
On BS01, the Axonn page details all of Axonn's amazing feats, along with other random stuff which makes his page a BS01 one. If you come from the middle ages, you might be interested in Axonn's execution service which will be running for the next week for free. Simply walk onto his page and feel Axonn's wrath!
August 29
Hydraxon
Hydraxon, the prisoner guard of The Pit, is the Featured Chronicle for this week. In order to star him in a safe environment, the CFS team has kindly binded him and locked him up in an isolated cell when he was in the midst of killing Nocturn.
Having spent so long guarding The Pit, Hydraxon sees everybody as an escaped prisoner and hunts them down. Although he was killed following the Great Cataclysm, Hydraxon was "revived" when the Ignika transformed Matoran Dekar into a new Hydraxon, which was every bit indifferent to the old and senile Hydraxon. Hydraxon is best known for training the Toa Mata, and performing extraordinary skills combating against Teridax.
Therefore, let us celebrate Hydraxon as the Featured Chronicle for this week! Oh, and to the escaped prisoners, you might like to run away as far as you can while we lock Hydraxon up.
August 21
BIONICLE Heroes
Filled with loud explosions and Toa which look like graphics, BIONICLE Heroes is the Featured Chronicle of the week.
Since its release in 2006, BIONICLE Heroes tossed the BIONICLE fandom away like ducks in a tornado. It's plot, gameplay and the simple fun of it made it welcoming for gamers of all ages. Best of all, it's one of those games in which a player can blast away another, without being slapped by their somewhat fearsome parents.
Therefore, blast away for the next week as we celebrate BIONICLE Heroes as the Featured Chronicle of the week.
In accordance with the celebrations, we would like to promote excessive slapping for the next week. Thank you.
August 14
Order of Mata Nui
Less then a month ago, had anybody asked of the "Order of Mata Nui", they will either be laughed at, or be killed. But with recent events, it seems prudent to help the Order unveil its existence, especially with it being the Featured Chronicle for the week.
An extremely secretive organization, the Order of Mata Nui was formed to serve the will of Mata Nui. They do this by protecting the Ignika, secretly aiding the Toa, or destroy beings without prior warning. They featured members from a variety of species, each with unique abilities to aid the Order.
Here on BS01, the Order of Mata Nui is everything but secretive. That may have something to do with the fact that we list out everything possible about the Order, but who knows? With large amounts of information also means a well-structured page, or otherwise a hideous and messy page. Thankfully, the Order of Mata Nui page is the former, and not the latter. With that said, and the fear of being killed by the Order for blurting out further secrets, why not go and read their secrets yourself?
August 9
BIONICLE: Maze of Shadows
And traveling all the way from tunnels beneath Kini-Nui is the Featured Chronicle for this week: BIONICLE: Maze of Shadows!
BIONICLE: Maze of Shadows is a video game for the Game Boy Advance console released in 2005. It illustrates the events of BIONICLE Adventures 6: Maze of Shadows in an interactive way, along with new additions such as Bohrok possessed with strange worms and a Red Serpent which chases Matau down a tunnel.
On BS01, the BIONICLE: Maze of Shadows page is one of the rare examples of a well-structured video game page. It describes the plot, and gives a detailed list of the characters, zones, controls and enemies. It's gallery also presents images to further illustrate the information on the page itself, giving the reader a thorough understanding of the game.
July 31
Kini-Nui
The Great Temple of Mata Nui, Kini-Nui is our Featured Chronicle for this week.
Kini-Nui is amongst one of the oldest locations in BIONICLE history. It's foundations were originally laid down by the Great Beings themselves, many millennia prior to the discovery of the island by the Matoran. When the Matoran arrived, Kini-Nui was made into a majestic temple, and many original events occurred here, including the first appearance of the Makoki Stones, the Toa Mata's Golden Masks and the confrontation of Takanuva against Makuta Teridax.
Like many other pages, the Kini-Nui page was once in immense disrepair and looked horrible. But thanks to the efforts and dedications of BS01 editor Tiome, the page has since been reconstructed into an editing beauty. It now includes sections of extremely in-depth information, along with images to illustrate these sections along the way. If you're here to tour around BS01, why don't you start with our Featured Chronicle of this week, Kini-Nui?
July 25
The Shadowed One
Self-proclaimed as the most powerful being in the BIONICLE storyline, the Shadowed One's name provoke fear into every being's heart. It's only fitting for him to become the Featured Chronicle of this week.
The leader of the Dark Hunters organization, the Shadowed One is a being quick to anger, and often punishes members in the most unusual ways when they fail to meet expectations. He is powerful enough to stand up against Makuta Teridax, although he was defeated and aged several thousand years as a result of the unfortunate battle.
On BIONICLEsector01 Wiki, the Shadowed One page is an excellent example of a professional and clean page. Unlike some pages, the page itself is not cluttered with immense amounts of images, and the images on the page are well-picked and efficient at displaying the Shadowed One. The biography is in-depth and provides top-quality information for all viewers, and the page is well organized. Without a doubt, the Shadowed One is definitely worthy of the title of Featured Chronicle.
July 17
Ussal
Famous for their adorable looks and extreme efficiency, the Ussal are our Featured Chronicle for the week. The Ussal are some of the most easily tamed Rahi, and has been seen used for many purposes, including trans port carts pullers or otherwise competing in tournaments. On the island of Mata Nui, the Ussal were mainly used by the Ussalry, and one of the Ussal, Pewku, would be famous for selecting Takua as her leader and follow him on many of his adventures prior to becoming a Toa.
On BIONICLEsector01 Wiki, the Ussal page was formerly a rather disgusting piece of mess. However, after the continuous labor and combined efforts, the page has since been cleaned up and now looks rather decent. The Ussal are also one of the primary stars in BS01's 2008 April's Fools plot, in which a White Ussal (As seen at the top) were used as a messenger. Perhaps the White Ussal would contact the infamous Toa V about it being a Featured Chronicle? We'll see.
July 11
Voya Nui Online Game
As we prepare to step into another week, so comes another Featured Chronicle. This time, we are proud to star the wonderful online experiences of the Voya Nui Online Game. Despite the large amounts of delays which occurred prior to its release, the Voya Nui Online Game has proven itself to be an exciting and extremely enjoyable game. The many quests and mode of play allowed players to experience a brand new type of BIONICLE gameplay, one in which the player is actually capable of constantly defeating things and causing babies to cry upon seeing it happen. The unique sprites of characters and Rahi also elevates this game to a brand new level, making it even more enjoyable.
Recently, the Voya Nui Online Game has been revamped after being classified as a "Stub" page for a long period of time thanks to the dedications of BS01 members Omega Blademan and Tahu Nuva Unleashed. It seems that his efforts had been worth it, and all his hard work is now displayed as the Featured Chronicle of the week.
July 7
Mutran
The infamous mad scientist, the Makuta Mutran is our Featured Chronicle for the week. Known for his insanity, Mutran is skilled in mutation and creation, many species of Rahi such as the Blade Burrower and Lohrak. He is also famous for other acts, such as his encounter with Tren Krom, his mutation of the Shadow Matoran and unleashing a blast of Shadow equivalent to a Nova Blast. Therefore, let us congratulate Mutran by giving him lots more Rahi to mutate!
June 27
Onua
After a long day of tunneling and accidentally collapsing the soil beneath the previous Featured Chronicle Kopeke's foot and thus effectively killing him, Toa Nuva Onua is our Featured Chronicle for this week.
Onua is arguably most famous for his reputation of saving other members of the Toa Nuva group at the last moment, and of his great knowledge which makes him one of the wisest Toa Nuva. Onua tends to remain calm and make logical decisions, something which makes him similar to Gali, and generally gets along well with the other members of Toa.
Therefore, as usual, let us celebrate Onua as our Featured Chronicle this week before Kopeke's tomb.
June 20
Kopeke
In the soapbox of the Featured Chronicle this week is the icy Ko-Matoran Kopeke. The current acting Chronicler of Metru Nui, Kopeke is most famous and infamous for his favorite line: "..." So let us all celebrate Kopeke as the Featured Chronicle by saying "..." for a week!
June 13
Miserix
The former leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, Miserix is our Featured Chronicle for this week. Like any Makuta, Miserix is arrogant and proud, and has abilities such as shapeshifting and mind control just like any other Makuta. He is also very intelligent, and more cautious then his successor, Teridax. When he was forced from his position after a convocation meeting held by Teridax, he was imprisoned on the island of Artidax, where he took on the form of a large dragon and currently resides on. This dragon form was made by MOCer Sarah Newkirk in a BrickMaster Magazine contest.
June 5
Lhikan
The hailed hero of the city of Metru Nui, Lhikan is our Featured Chronicle for this week.
Originally Ta-Matoran saved by Dume when he was a Matoran, Lhikan would become a novice Toa guarding a fortress for the Makoki Stones. He was also involved with a massive battle against the Kanohi Dragon, of which he and his team was victorious, and many other historical events, such as the Dark Hunter/Toa War and the betrayal of Tuyet. He would also be involved with the creation of the Toa Metru, giving up his powers to transform the six Matoran in order for them to protect the Matoran from the evil schemes of Makuta Teridax. In the epic battle between Teridax and Vakama, Lhikan, now a Turaga, sacrificed himself for Vakama's life, thus sealing his destiny as one of the greatest heroes of the BIONICLE world. Therefore, let us celebrate this great hero as our Featured Chronicle for this week!
May 30
Jaller
The former Captain of the Guard of Ta-Koro, Toa Inika of Fire and now Toa Mahri of Fire, the heroic and famous hero Jaller is our Featured Chronicle for this week.
Ever since his first appearance in 2001 as part of a set of six Matoran released in 2001 in an exclusive McDonalds promotion, and the famous scene in which he ambushed Tahu in the Mata Nui Online Game thinking the Toa to be a villain, Jaller had grown into the favorite character of many people.
Jaller has always been a Matoran, and later Toa, of great courage, responsibility and justice. He would even sacrifice himself for the life of another, as in BIONICLE: Mask of Light, where Jaller sacrificed his life for Takua. After being resurrected, Jaller would become a Toa of Fire, and would become the leader of the group, leading it with fairness and never rushing into situations without planning. Therefore, let us celebrate this great hero as our Featured Chronicle for this week!
May 25
Kanohi
The common artifact worn by Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Makuta and other species are our Featured Chronicle for this week. The Kanohi are one of the most famous aspects of BIONICLE, and is often related directly to the storyline. (Such as the Ignika and Vahi.) The Kanohi are also one of the most powerful tools used by Toa and Makuta, as they are artifacts which supply different powers and abilities. Therefore, let us admire these artifacts as our Featured Chronicle for the week!
May 16
Kolhii
The most popular sport on Mata Nui, Kolhii is our Featured Chronicle for this week. Invented by Turaga Onewa and Whenua, the game of Kolhii involves two equal teams of no more then six, in attempt to score a goal by using a Kolhii Stick which is used to hit the ball forwards. Therefore, let us appreciate the sport of Kolhii in all its glory as our Featured Chronicle for the week.
May 9
Vahi
One of the two Legendary Kanohi masks, the Vahi is our Featured Chronicle for this week. The mask was once the Great Disks, but was merged into a Disk of Time and carved into a Kanohi mask by Vakama. The Vahi is so powerful, that if it is destroyed, the fabric of time would be destroyed along with it. It's tremendous power means that controlling it is extremely difficult, and even Toa Nuva Tahu failed to control the mask. The Vahi is also the oldest existing Kanohi mask in set form, being the first Kanohi mask to have ever been designed by the BIONICLE team.
May 1
Spiriah
The Featured Chronicle for this week is Spiriah. A rogue Makuta, Spiriah saw the potential in making a species named the Skakdi into an army. The Makuta tampered with the Skakdi, giving them new powers. He then left the island, intending to return later to check on his "experiment" at a later time. When he returned however, the entire species of Skakdi had turned on each other and raged in a civil war. Spiriah had then retreated into hiding, and was recruited by the Order of Mata Nui to take on a suicidal mission to find Miserix. The ongoing adventures can be read in Federation of Fear.
April 25
Ahkmou
The infamous criminal, Ahkmou, is our Featured Chronicle for this week. Ahkmou was first introduced as an unnamed Po-Matoran that sold Comets, which caused the Po-Koro Epidemic. In 2004, Ahkmou was featured in the flashback as the Matoran who betrayed the Toa Metru to Nidhiki out of greed and personal gain.
April 18
Ignika
This week, we are proud to present the Ignika as our Featured Chronicle! (Or "Iggy", according to our picture name...) Created so very long ago by the great and almighty Great Beings, the Ignika is the ultimate Mask of Life. With the power to revive Mata Nui from death, kill everybody in the universe and curse anybody "not destined" to wear it so they become some purple, dinosaur-like creature who runs around on TV trying to impress little children. This mask is worth even more than things which are worth more than gold. So let us congratulate this...object as our Featured Chronicle for this week!
April 11
Takanuva
It's a Yeti! It's a giant monster! It's a...Takanuva? Yes, that's right. Takanuva has received soooooo much new information and stuff nowadays that he has became a giant black and white monster! Armed with his awesome Power Lance and his amazing Light and Shadow powers, he will surely be a wonderful advertisement and this week's Featured Chronicle! Therefore, let us congratulate Takanuva, who was once a small, tiny, weak, helpless Matoran who is now a Toa larger than a Toa. (That doesn't make sense, does it?)
April 4
Vezon
Annnnnd, for this week's Featured Chronicle, we shall be starring the famous and absolute lunatic, Vezon! Being an absolute lunatic, he tends to do absolutely lunatic-ly things, such as patting a cute, big monster, thinking he has awesome powers and, well, barfing down the street. So let us all shun this absolute lunatic into a lunatic asylum and observe him there!
March 28
Lewa
Today, we all crowd around the training grounds of Daxia to witness Lewa Nuva practicing his fighting skills against Trinuma! A joyful Toa who has nothing but fun in his mind, Lewa is most at home swinging from tree to tree until he smacks right into a tree and dies faints. He is also an art of history, being one of the only Toa known to be infected with a Krana! Wouldn't it be nice if all the Toa worn those rubberish cute things? Therefore, let us congratulate this art of history by splatting more paint on him while he practices his fighting skills!
March 22
Kopaka
As we fly across Karda Nui, we encounter our icy friend, Toa Nuva Kopaka and decide to kidnap him for this week's Featured Chronicle. The first Toa of Ice known to the BIONICLE fandom, Kopaka is a cold Toa, both in power and personality. Like most other Ice Toa, Kopaka prefers to work alone, but with his über-cool powers which have impressed BIONICLE fans all across the world, Kopaka is definitely a star in the ice. Therefore, let us congratulate Kopaka for being the Featured Chronicle for today and thank us for chaining him up on the wall so all can meet him!
March 14
Botar
This week, we honor Botar as our latest Featured Chronicle. Botar was once a member of the Order of Mata Nui whose job was to transport defeated enemies into The Pit. Sadly, even his transportation abilities could not save himself from the awesome power of Makuta Icarax. Please take the time to read about Botar and his many deeds to fulfill the goals of the Order of Mata Nui.
March 7
Locations
Here for the last time as the Featured Chronicle, (due to a rule change) today we celebrate the featuring of the oldest section on the BS01 Wiki. The Location page hosts almost every single location, from massive islands to locations which had never been seen at all. Also, unlike all the other boring ol' wiki-coding based sections, the Locations page combines wiki-coding with HTML, providing a clean, efficient and pleasant page to look it. Therefore, let us congratulate this wonderful section for being the Featured Chronicle for the last time!
March 1
Ignika
The Kanohi Ignika is this week's Featured Chronicle. (No, it's not Lhikan. Sorries.) This legendary mask has gone through a great deal in the past few years (three years to be precise), and is now fighting on its own. Too bad it's no smarter than a baby. The article is pretty good, though.
February 22
Teridax
Here for the 4th time, the Makuta of Metru Nui, or Teridax, is the Featured Chronicles once more. The main villain and evil mastermind in the Matoran Universe, no year is a year without some sort of cameo appearance from this guy. With awesome power and as the leader of the Brotherhood of Makuta, it strikes fear even in the bravest Matoran. Therefore, let us congratulate this evil villain in become the Featured Chronicle for the 4th by decorating him with tons and tons of flowers!
February 15
Tahu
One of the six original Toa heroes known to the BIONICLE fandom, Tahu is the Featured Chronicle for this week. Bold and hot-tempered, Tahu has led his Toa team through many adventures in Karda Nui and Mata Nui, all of which ended in victory but jeopardy was involved in most. Let us all gather around him and admire the quality of his page!
February 8
Matoro
This week's Featured Chronicle is a former Ko-Matoran who became a Toa, and a Toa who saved a universe. We dedicate this FC to Matoro Mahri, the deceased Toa of Ice who brought life back to Mata Nui by sacrificing his own. Please take time to read this article in order to learn more about the hero who saved a universe.
