When I first considered throwing in humans worshipping a Vok artifact, namely a disk, my first thought was of course the Egyptians. Their belief in the sun disk, or Aten, plus their fascination with gold - the image of the Vok Golden disk suits perfectly.

But as ROTF has now tarnished any Egyptian contact with what happened in that movie, I figured the second best option would be the Mayans, who also loved some gold.

I also didn't want to go too nuts about the number of Vok artifacts left behind or untriggered. One or two or the most, as the traps were designed to attract intelligent life, so they'd be surely all found by now.

The Bemuda Triangle came to mind for some reason, as the Vok traps were clearly anti-technological based life forms in design. They must have disliked robots. And what does the Bemuda Triangle supposedly do to technology? Screws it up, that's right.

I'm an atheist so giving any recent (last 2000 years) religion credence with the use of Transformers seems very off to me so I won't be going anywhere near that.

I could never take Mormons seriously, even less so after the South Park episode about them But this is not a discussion about religion.
