BIONICLE Toa Voriki Animation
Фильм және анимация
Let's revisit the greatest franchise ever and remember the hero who never officially existed but still achieved great acclaim by being adopted by the fanbase.
To the uninitiated, Voriki, the "Toa of Energy" was a very early example of a fan-made Bionicle character who gained infamy across the fanbase, fooling many young kids who thought he was official, then getting branded as a fraud once the truth came out. And yet, nearly two decades later, Voriki is a celebrated part of the Bionicle fanbase's history. Watch this fan documentary for more insight: • Seventh Toa - A BIONIC...
If Voriki's creator is still around and sees this, I hope he likes it.
The animation is also a tribute to the original 2001 Toa Mata animations by LEGO, Advance and Ghost VFX.
The Muaka tiger shows up as well, which I've wanted to animate ever since I made the model back in early 2015. This was especially challenging, as the Muaka toy was definitely not designed with articulation and movement in mind, beyond its extending neck, snapping jaws and the dangly little caterpillar tread it has in place of back legs. Getting it to move without the model crumpling in on itself was a chore. I can hardly even imagine how people making fan games (like "Bionicle: Masks of Power" and "Bionicle: Quest for Mata Nui") manage to animate it. It would have been interesting to redesign the Muaka into a more functional creature, similar to how I've made Voriki's model, sadly I didn't have the time for that.
Also included in the animation are the Amana Volo Spheres, orbs of energy that appear when certain Rahi beasts have their infected masks removed, which are probably among the most obscure parts of Bionicle lore, having only appeared in a couple of video games and nowhere else in the story.

Okay, the idea of the thunderbolts on his mask being animated is genius
I love the detail of those circular glow effects on the weapons and masks looking like they're right out of the 2003 PC game
The only bionicle that was never invented! And it's here! He's magnificent!
This animation just sent me back to simpler times. No other toy line has come remotely close to have lore as intricate & immersive as Bionicle.

Bionicle fans who want it all back: "Fine. We'll do it ourselves." Every gathered friend has their own way of bringing life to Bionicle, but yours is beautifully done-- you bring Bionicle to life.
even though they're not as popular as your other stuff, your bionicle animations are always awesome

I didn't even realize the guy did things _other_ than BIONICLE. He's a big name in the fandom. Has some stuff canonized.

Yo is that Primal Prime on your pfp? Thats a deep cut.
I know nothing about Bionicle but I really like the way these videos are animated. It’s interesting to see these more mechanical characters compared to the cartoony Kaiju.

Voriki here is kind of an ancient meme among the Bionicle fandom. Most of the characters don't look that goofy, lmao
God I always love seeing bionicle stuff it’s so nice seeing it animated
You are doing a great service to all of the Bionicle fandom by making these kinds of animations. Absolute talent put to great use!
Pretty cool. I never got the hype of this OC in the Bionicle universe, but this animation makes me feel like he could be a canon character. Great job.
I've loved the bionicle franchise since childhood and you do a great job vrahno
Powerful animation, pulls one's imagination into the world of 'Bionicle'. Well done.
it’s funny how he’s the Toa of Energy/Lightning but his color scheme is a Toa of Gravity
I've missed your Bionicle animations
Oh man, he's a definitely real bionicle alright 🙃
This is absolutely stunning to look at! If this was an actual advert I would be stunned
I miss Bionicle. I've seen all your videos of it. You sir, make pure magic. Nostalgic magic.
Forever grateful for your Bionicle animations. They're exquisite.
Oh man I am READY for these Boinicle animations
I'm convinced this was culled from an alternate timeline of 2001. Fantastic work!
You never seem to miss, you're an aspiration to us all thanks a lot for all you've done !
I love how this dude came from a bad photoshop job and everyone is like, “Aight, welcome to canon I guess”.
WE DO NEED MORE BIONICLE. *THIS IS GORGEOUS.*
Genuinely appreciate the effort you've put into this.
dude, you're cool and i love your bionicle animations, i hope you get your team together someday and can make a movie adaptation of the unreleased bionicle movies.
This animation is incredible, it looks just like the og trailers!
I'm quite happy how you made a bionicle animation after all this time, really shows how you do what you enjoy
this was pretty sick, I appreciate all the effort you put into it
I built a lot of Bionicle with my son; he loved them. Watched all the shows together. Neat seeing this.

This is phenomenal, nice work!!
Always a pleasure to see more Bionicle!
Wonderful work!! Love seeing a Bionicle do Bionicle things.
Nice to see your work again!
The vibe was spooky but in a good way. And the way the mask and the weapon move is so nice to look at. Really good!
Very nice, fantastic job
RETURN OF THE KING!!!! this is insanely cool, i really love the atmosphere setup in this short and seeing the muaka is sweet too!
What was once the fraud toa now a legend of it's time. Voriki toa of lightning. Great job as usual varhno.
what a blast from the past. excellent style matching
So glad to see a new bionicle animation! Congrats on all your success! Looking forward to your future projects!
This is the best thing I have ever seen!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work dude!!!
What a great idea you had with this animation!
Absolutely Love how you made this reminiscent of the character videos for the original Toa from 2001, very good stuff!
Im really happy you decided to make another bionicle animation, the sheer Effort you put into these is incredible!
I cant tell you how long i was waiting for this! Amazing
Last month i've discovered the insane lore of this thing it really its an underated saga
Masterpiece
So glad to see you made another bio I learned animation!
Amazing, that fit in so well with the other Toa animations like this, so cool
The sound design is spot on
awesome job !!!
Nice to see these come back
love your old bionicle animations thanks for revisiting the franchise again
Finally, I’ve been waiting for ya’!
Yoooooo! I was just in a nostalgic mood watching some clips from MNOLG, and then this pops up! Amazing💖
So stupidly cool, love the atmosphere
OH it's Been a Old time since I've seen you do Bionicle, This is not only good but cool to Voriki to be animated as well.
This is awesome and then I noticed his thunderbolt things on his mask moved and it just made it even cooler
You're still pumping out masterpieces!
Everyone needs a lil Voriki in their lives
It's also astounding to note how far technology has come since 2001 as well. You've made another banger!
Just like the animations on bioniclestory... I miss those days, I'm so grateful that biomediaproject exists
Amazing quality animations as always
Sick as hell as always, been watching since stuck in the drift
Makes a hilarious reviving bionicle reference that has us all on the floor lolling
Voriki is a total badass. I hope we will see more of him in these animations
The way the Muaka moves is spectacular!
That what we need back then Bionicle G2. Very good quality and visual animation.
Yooooo new bionicle content from Vrahno lets gooooo
Oh yo I didn't know you had a KZread! Nice work, this is incredible
Now all we need is a Tony Wedgewood voice over of this animation. Each AI voice-over sold separately.
Your the greatest bionicle animator in the world for how good this is
The animation feels so nostalgic
That looks darn good
AMAZING ANIMATION,I LOVE IT
Man that lighting is amazing.
I'm always happy when you make bonkle content, even though it's always less popular
it's funny how Vo- ended up being the official prefix for the lightning element
For that is the way that a bionicle meme became legend.
Deep cut! This is amazing.
very atmospheric work
The unreal toa gets to be real also I love how this has the same style as the old commercials
omg i'm a kid again. thank you
Given I'd just commented on missing these sorts of things, I am satisfied for another several years.
I wish Voriki was truly brought to existence, as the first of the Toa of Lightning to be introduced and the only one in purple.
Reminds me so much of your old Pohatu animation.
Mint mindig, most is remek animációt készítettél. Csak így tovább!!! 😍
that is so god damn cool and well animated
Beautiful work!
Ok, when are we getting a beautifully animated movie?
Your animating skills are incredible
Now imagine if this man made an animated show of bionicle.
After a long time bionicle is back on this channel
This is so god damn sick
Voriki is one thing, but its also really cool seeing the Rahi in full CGI
... Okay, Why aren't there more Bionicle animations from you, This is amazing!
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE
You never cease to amaze
I see you are still making Bionicle content, nice.
Fantastic work
Mad lad actually brought the first Bionicle fake to life
