			The Vok were the first known source of information about The One, whom they tended to describe in relation to themselves, or vice-versa. {{note\|Capitalization of Vok quotes is at editor's discretion; their lines were printed in all caps.}}

The Vok sought to protect "the sleepers," by whom they meant the stasis-locked [[Autobot\|Autobots]] and [[Decepticon\|Decepticons]] aboard the [[Ark (G1)\|''Ark'']]. They believed this to be "the will of The One". {{storylink\|Primeval Dawn Part 1}}

			The One existed before time itself, witness to the birth of the universe. The One was curious about this new realm and created a new being, Unicron, to explore it. For some reason, The One then split its creation in two, one half still being Unicron while the other became Primus. In keeping with their creator's nature as a perfect balance of Order and Chaos, the twin "exploratory heralds" became the embodiments of those two principles, but separated. {{storylink\|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}}

			==Notes==
			* The One's method of creating Primus from the substance of Unicron mirrors Primus's creation of the Transformers, whose [[spark]]s are fragments of his own being, as stated in "[[Abduction]]".
