BEAST WARS "The Vok"

[@halkras]

2:27 giving me same vibes as "Every force you create has an echo your own bad energy will be your undoing!"

[@MistaShadowman]

Nice DBZ Fusion Reborn reference

[@loydthehedgehog]

4:44 I like the fact how Tarantulas makes a cross with his finger's. Yea like that's gonna get rid of two floating alien head's.

[@fatcat428]

The power of Prime compelled you

[@paixaofutebol]

Tarantulos says that he and the Tripredacus Council are not descendants of the Decepticons and Autobots. This is curious. I think the animators' original idea was to explain this in "Beast Machines" but since Hasbro and Mainframe produced "Beast Machines" with a different team from "Beast Wars", this idea ended up being forgotten.

[@sonrouge]

Megatron did refer to him as "That spawn of Unicron" in "Nemesis". Would not surprise me in the slightest if and the Tripedacus council were decedents him.

[@VictorIV0310]

@@sonrougeI believe one of BW’s writers said that it was meant as an insult and not a revelation.

4:43 ... he tries to use the sign of the cross against them. You know, just in case they were vampires. You can never be too careful!

[@genesismultiverse4896]

People complain what are the vok and we didn't get enough explanation on them and i agree but at least we got some explaining and motivation unlike other vok i can name (Xmen dark phoenix vok)

[@VictorIV0310]

It’s always interesting to know more about other alien races in the Transformers franchise.

[@insulareshdxo9454]

And they killed them again 😢

[@sonrouge]

I would've very much preferred to learn more about the aliens (for example, what was "the project"?), but at least we actually got to see them.

[@GuardianKyle]

So unfortunately the show never did explain the origin of the, Vok, but there were two different backgrounds behind the scenes for them. 1. They were an evolved species that set up experiments on primitive worlds to test other races to see if they were worthy and smart enough to evolve into the Vok race. Hence the Season 1 setting with the Flying Island. Earth being seeded with Energon with the fake moon serving as a weapon to ignite it if the experiments were contaminated. 2. The Vok were somehow connected to the Swarm from the Generation 2 comics. Making up for their past deeds and served as protectors of time and space, hence why they created Tigerhawk to destroy Megatron for his crimes against the timestream. Check out Transformers Basics video on the Vok, he can explain it much better me.

[@genesismultiverse4896]

Wait maybe the vok are voyager and decker from star trek the motion picture since they fused into a higher being that transcended to another plain if my theory is true then it would be the best connection of very famous serieses

[@nerdimusprime8753]

I remember at a convention one of the writers said he wanted the Vok to be super advanced humans from the future using time travel to help themselves start civilization in the past. I think he said he got shot down though.

[@clawgrehellsing]

Tigerhawk is like Transmetal two Fuzor sense it a fusion of Airazor and Tigatron

[@genesismultiverse4896]

​@Optimal-Megatron05 yeah and imagine if he was in beast machines but being like primal but in a more mysterious way and basically in the end the oracle was a herald of the vok

[@Smoothe88]

Not gonna lie, I kind of hate how tarantulas died, only because he was easily one of the coolest looking transmetals on the show! Tarantulas, Megatron, Rampage, and Rattrap was so dope!

[@SeptimusScholar]

You'd think he would know not to mess with something he doesn't understand

Those comics are interesting but I don't even count them in my personal canon. It's basically an excuse to revive everyone and do recolors of previous figures.

What is the Vok ?

[@Alucia0]

They are an ancient and extremely advanced alien race. Not much is known about them but it's implied that they are responsible for the evolution of life on Earth.

[@TheRisingStorm316]

@@Alucia0 Amongst other things. If I remember correctly, Tigatron mentioned how they seeded the planet with Energon and created that flying island that nearly destroyed them all. Not to mention capturing Optimus Primal not once, but twice.

[@javiervasquez625]

@@Alucia0 Pretty sure Beast Wars writer Bob Forward confirmed they were a highly evolved alien species who exists "beyond Time" as they help less developed species across the Universe to evolve into a more intellgient race before also becoming Vok like them. They are just like the "Firstborn" aliens from Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Oddyssey" who did the exact same thing (minus genocide with a moon sized Planet Buster weapon).
