The Vok
A race of semi-divine aliens. They travelled through time and space conducting several experiments. Prehistoric Earth became one of their testing grounds, seeding it with vast amounts of raw Energon deposits and other anomalies such as flying islands, a Stonehenge-like formation, a golden disk, etc. They even constructed a second moon, which was in reality, a giant cannon capable of wiping all life off the face of the Earth should they need to "sterilise" the Earth. This was seen as a necessary step when the Maximals and Predacons arrived from the future and started the Beast Wars. The Beast Wars tainted the experiment on earth with its outside influence, and the Vok chose to wipe the planet clean to start the process again. After losing direct contact with the Beast Wars Transformers, the Vok abducted Tigatron and Airazor, and reactivated them fused together as their emissary, Tigerhawk. The Vok element was removed from Tigerhawk by Tarantulas, who wanted to gain its power. Both were apparently destroyed by a weapon fired at Tarantulas. The Quintessons consider the Vok's existence to be an aberration. It is unknown how many Vok exist. (However, as the noncanon BotCon Beast Wars: Primeval Dawn Storyline claims that Tarantulas and the two Vok survived, and battle once more. It is also claims that the Vok species evolved from the Swarm (as seen in the Transformers: Generation 2 comic book) and that the Vok sought to correct the 'sins' they had committed as the Swarm and went on a mission to maintain creation.)
Vok
In Transformers history, the Vok were mysterious and powerful aliens who had evolved beyond the corporeal world. Their base of operations - be it another planet, location in space, or entire dimension - is dubbed "Nexus Zero." The Vok's influence was present on prehistoric Earth during the Beast Wars period of Earth's history (hundreds of thousands of years BCE).
During this time, they were running an experiment on Earth, reasons yet to be revealed. The Vok were responsible for a second "moon" in orbit around Earth which was actually a planetkiller/monitoring station, the seeding of the massive amounts of energon on the planet and the creation of various monuments on pre-historic Earth including a collection of standing stones, the floating island, the stone square and a hidden "Metalhunter" ship. Additionally, the second golden disk that served as a master key to the above monuments was hidden on the planet. After the destruction of the Floating Island and the sending of a signal prior to its destruction, they returned to the planet to investigate to find it infested with the Predacons and Maximals. Taking the form of Unicron and rendering judgement, they turned their planetkiller on the Earth, which began detonating the massive deposits of energon on the planet, only to have their planetkiller destroyed by Optimus Primal in a transwarp explosion.
Alien influence was next felt when Airazor and Tigatron tripped an alien device located in a lush valley. The device, in the shape of a peculiar plant, generated a signal beam that shot the two into space. When the Maximals and Predacons came to investigate, another signal emerged from the depths of space, converting the plant into the Metalhunter base, which Megatron then used the Golden Disk to control, only to have both artifacts be destroyed in a Transwarp explosion. However, the Vok were unaware of this, and believed their experiment to have been wiped clean. However, when they became aware of the continued existence of the Transformers, they judgement chose to combine the bodies of Airazor and Tigatron into the demigod Tigerhawk, and possess the body, using it with the intent of passing judgement on Megatron for his attempts to alter history. They were unable to pass judgement on Megatron, as Optimus Primal tried to prevent him from destroying Megatron, due to him carrying the original Megatron's spark inside his body. He failed as Tigerhawk opened the earth underth him. Tigerhawk was however felled by Tarantulas' devices. In an attempt to gain Tigerhawk's demigod powers, the Vok left the body, entering Tarantulas', just as a weapon was used on Tarantulas, killing them both.
In the BotCon Beast Wars: Primeval Dawn comic, the Vok later return to Earth to create defenders against an undead Tarantulas. Splitting the recovered Spark of Tigerhawk, they revive Tigatron and Airazor in Transmetal bodies. They then use the Matrix of Leadership to bring to life the suit used to control Optimal Optimus. This warrior is Primal Prime, the Prime of Justice, Living Matrix, and Emissary of the Vok. Primal and his companions must then gather new allies to face down Tarantulas and the apparently alive Ravage, who was in fact recovered and rebuilt by the Vok. Two Vok were also apparently corrupted by Tarantulas, giving him powers far beyond his old abilities.
Beyond the fact that they were aliens, no real origin or explanation for the Vok was given in the animated series. The two story editors of Beast Wars, Bob Forward and Larry DiTillio have their own explanations. Forward views the Vok as the ultimate evolution of either mankind, or sentient life in general, while DiTillio conceived of an origin more closely tied to Transformer history - he thought of the Vok as the evolved, purified version of The Swarm, a destructive, dark byproduct of Transformer reproduction, as seen in the Transformers Generation 2 comics. At the conclusion of that series, the Swarm was purified by Optimus Prime and the Matrix. Since in Primevil Dawn the Vok refer to themselves as being trapped in darkness and without prupose until seeing the Matrix, the latter would seem to be the more accurate, although it is more then likely that they are mere yet another alien race in the Transformers Universe and should be viewed as such. |
