Offensive Bias was first visually-depicted in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', in an illustration created by artist [[:Category:Images by Levi Hoffmeier|Levi Hoffmeier]] - more well-known as the artist for the fanwork ''[[Halo: A Fistful of Arrows]]''. In the book, Offensive Bias is canonised as using the visual appearance of the [[Guardian Sentinel]] enemies trialled and [[Cut Halo 3 enemies|cut from]] ''[[Halo 3]]'' - with the Guardian hologram on the multiplayer map [[Epitaph]] directly called out as Offensive Bias. | Offensive Bias was first visually-depicted in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', in an illustration created by artist [[:Category:Images by Levi Hoffmeier|Levi Hoffmeier]] - more well-known as the artist for the fanwork ''[[Halo: A Fistful of Arrows]]''.

While designing the illustration for the book, Hoffmeier played with the idea that a standard Contender-class AI shell may be able to dock with a Guardian Sentinel's eye socket, allowing the two designs to coexist alongside one another. In this depiction, Offensive Bias' core shell would be similar to those of Mendicant Bias and [[Invariant Bias]], simply housed in a Guardian Sentinel for combat operations.{{Ref/Twitter|Id=Levi1|LeviWasTaken|1656715330247606272|Levi Hoffmeier|Quote=I had been playing with the idea that the Bias ancillas could operate any kind of shell or sentinel it wanted to, and perhaps Mendicant's smaller, Contender-class shell could actually dock in the eye area of Offensive Bias's larger Guardian Sentinel shell:|D=13|M=06|Y=2023}} When mocking-up the image, he additionally did a scale image using the ''Halo 3'' Ark skybox to depict the size of Offensive Bias and how he may be scaled if encountered up-close, using the aforementioned Contender shell in the eye (albeit flipped upside down).{{Ref/Twitter|Id=Levi2|LeviWasTaken|1656713845178798080|Levi Hoffmeier|Quote=This is something I mocked up for myself when I worked on the #Halo Encyclopedia (using the Halo 3 skybox as a background), to help me imagine the scale of both Offensive Bias and Mendicant Bias, and what meeting them in-game as the Master Chief might have been like:|D=13|M=06|Y=2023}} | While designing the illustration for the book, Hoffmeier played with the idea that a standard Contender-class AI shell may be able to dock with a Guardian Sentinel's eye socket, allowing the two designs to coexist alongside one another.
