    The 2nd one, I don't know...
    Agreed about the Vok one.

    I also seem to recall Rattrap calling Optimus Primal "fearless leader" more than once in the show.

    "Fearless leader" is still not something that is iconically Beast Wars though. I'd say it's probably a coincidence. And since when did "heart" become a verb outside of "I heart New York"?! (0_o)

    *Google* Apparently Vok is...
    + A brand of alcoholic drink from WA
    + A fashion agency in Queensland
    + 1960s style sleeveless dress
    + A clothing store in Collingwood
    + A construction company in QLD
    + A plumbing company in QLD
    + Kurdish-American radio for democracy, peace and freedom

    And punching in turtle boy's original spelling of "vock" I got:
    + An ancient German house (family)

    Could that character be referring to another character whose name is Vock? Someone that they heart perhaps. Hmmm...

    Yeah Gok (Haha, rhymes with Vok) I can use Google too. I came up with all those as well, and given she is a rather nerdy character I think it would make most sense for her to "heart the Vok (BW)" than "heart the Vok (Alcoholic Drink from WA)" or "heart the Vok (Construction Company in QLD)"

    It appears all this discussion has been for nothing, as she clearly does not say "I heart the Vok" haha

    Fearless leader is more likely a referance to the Rocky and Bullwinkle show character "Fearless leader".

    As for the Vok remark that could be anything, could be a german guy called Vock who wrote the data minning program she's using, I remain unconvinced that this is a Beast Wars referance.
