Questions that need Answering

Will you also be looking at explaining why the Vok disk is so similar to the Human disk, Verno?
Or is it just a common storage medium/device civilisations use throughout the galaxy, kinda like Windows being common here.
Bob & Larry never explained why they were so similar, and there had to be a reason... as they were both written into the cartoon by Bob (Ep 1 & Ep 24), so couldn't have been a plot or animation error. (at least on this rare occasion)

I was going to concentrate on getting Cybertron's affairs in order before tackling loose ends like the Vok disk, but seeing as though the Vok are so pivotal in my post-BW fiction, I guess I should look a little harder at the issue.

If Bob and Larry still had notebooks lying around from their BW writing days, I would love to bury myself in them, but I'm sure I'm not alone there.

So I guess the answer to your question Griff is Yes.

Alright, the solution is coming along nicely Griff, but I'm just sorting out a few details. A hint though - there are 4 disks...

One more thought on Megatron and his gun mode however - I'm not sure what continuity ties into Furman's unofficial Alignment story (I assume it's the Marvel stuff) but Megatron dies in the battle at the Hub. Megatron, not Galvatron. So Megatron is back, and if so, in what form would he have been in when he died? Surely not the G2 green tank thing.

I realise Alignment isn't Canon, but the stories leading up to it (with the Liege Maximo and the Cybertronian Empire) are, so we have something to work with and draw conclusions from.

Megatron looked like this in Alignment:

Well there is a toy that needs making.

I figured it best to put it in the right section and keep this thread on topic.

Q: How did Tarantulas have knowledge of the Vok when no one else had ever heard of them?

A: Tarantulas and the Tripredacus Council were members of the Cybertronian Empire who reassimilated back into life on Cybertron after they were reformatted after a run in with Unicron, and the Hub being destroyed by the Autobot/Decepticons alliance. Double-whammy.

However, during his days as a loyal CE troop member, the scout ship he was assigned to (to find planets to be techno-formed into the Hub) discovered a world that also had Vok installations on its surface to test the indigenous life forms. It too was seeded with raw Energon.

They made to take over the planet, but the Vok were notified by one of their traps. The planets' moon opened up and destroyed the planet.

Thus why Tarantulas was so keen to get off Earth when it became evident that Earth was to be destroyed - he'd seen it all before.

So he knew of the aliens, hated them, but didn't find out their names until he met Tigerhawk.

Simple

I took Tarantulas' statement "(we) are from a different origin" to suggest that they weren't Cybertronian at alll... because if they were just reformated cybertronians by Unicron, they would still be affected by any temporal changes on ancient earth... unless you're saying that they were reformatted before the Beast Wars occurred thousands of years ago?
Either way, if they were created by Unicron or just reformatted cybertronians, I'd be guessing that they could have been "uploaded" with what Unicron knows, and he'd be expected to know about just about everything, including the Vok. (which allowed Tarantulas to recognise them, not by his own experience, but through his shared memories from Unicron)

Although, your version makes for a more interesting back story... which is always better for padding out a story with more depth than just the present.
