| The '''Vok''' were mysterious energy-based alien creatures, enlightened descendents of [[The Swarm]], who developed prehistoric Earth towards their own designs to atone for their shameful past. The Vok were dedicated to "the Project", which consisted of enigmatic, sometimes contradictory plans for the planet. As a result of these experiments, there were a number of anomalies on the Earth, including several floating landmasses, a mysterious stone formation, and a hollowed-out moon.
| |
| | |
| Their experiments were irreperably wrecked as a result of the [[Beast Wars]]. The Vok decided to cut their losses by revealing the nature of the second moon: An immense cannon designed to destroy the planet! Optimus Primal sacrificed himself in order to destroy the Planet Smasher.
| |
| | |
| As a result of the Planet Smasher's explosion, a [[Transwarp Wave]] was released. The wave caused a mutation in several of the Transformers (notably, Megatron, Rattrap, Cheetor and Tarantulas) turning them into [[Transmetal]]s.
| |
| | |
| Later in the series, the Vok made several other attempts to wipe the Transformers, notably a second weapon which appeared on the planet (sometimes referred to as the Metal Hunter), and the abduction of the Maximals Airazor and Tigatron.
| |
| | |
| Near the end of the Beast Wars, the Vok sent an emissary, [[Tigerhawk]] (a newly created fusion of Airrazor and Tigatron), to Earth to deal with [[Megatron (Beast Wars)|Megatron]]'s disruption of the timestream.

| ==Origin controversy==
| |
| | |
| In the course of writing the ''Beast Wars'' television show, the co-story editors had conflicting ideas on who the Vok were. [[Bob Forward]] liked to imagine the Vok as super-evolved humans who had outgrown the need for bodies. [[Larry Ditillio]] wanted to link the Vok to The Swarm, who, in his version of the events of the Generation Two comic book, had completely wiped out humanity and wished to atone for their crimes. Neither origin made it into the television show before it completed.
| |
| | |
| Ultimately, the Vok origin was published as backstory for OTFCC's Primeval Dawn storyline.
