Cybertronian Units of Time: a Guide
…concocted by me, via:
Canon Definitions
Most Common Terms Used in Fandom (that I have seen)
Most Common Interpretations of Aforementioned Terms
Math That Makes Those Terms Make Sense Together
Filling in the Blanks With What Sounded Good (to me)
So essentially I began with Cybertronian units with explicit definitions in canon that are also widely used in fandom (ie. Vorn = 83 years, Joor = 6 hours, Groon = 1 hour). I then worked my way out from those and tried to keep to rough factors of 6/8/10.
Some terms that did have explicit canon definitions had to be slightly skewed from their value (ie. Breem: 8 → 6 minutes, Klik: 8 → 6 seconds) if their definition contradicted another definition that made more sense/fit better.
At any rate, obviously no one is obligated to use this standard, but canon Transformers content has been unfortunately… awful at establishing any universal units of time, their relationship to each other, or their equivalents to human units of time.
So this occasionally makes fanfiction an absolute nightmare for people like me with a crap memory who don’t want to constantly have to scroll through a thousand pages of the wiki to remind themselves what the hell a groon is.
So, naturally, I simply spent far too long whipping up this at-a-glance guide to keep track of it & on the off chance that the fandom might adopt it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I was reading something on AITA that damaged me immensely
"Time blindness is an explanation, not an excuse. It means you don’t have an innate sense of time, not that you physically cannot see what time it is."
Hey, excuse me but that cannot be allowed. You're fucking with me again. First y'all've said you have inside voices then y'all've said you've inside pictures, and I know y'all don't Gumby like me (hyper mobility disorder :(( o no )
But come on. This has to be a joke. One person's delusion of grandeur.
My phone has been malfunctioning so that it shows the time in another time zone randomly and last week after a full day of doing stuff it showed me 11 am and of course I believed it until someone told me: no, it's 7pm. Why would i not. How on earth was I meant to know I hadn't just had a busy 5 hour morning. I'm reeling. I want a list of what's not wrong with my brain, stat!

While Bruce was lost in time, he made a Deal.
He doesn’t exactly mention it to his family when he comes back- he was more than a little busy trying to figure out what he missed, where his children were, what the fuck had even happened. Besides, he’d put it in the report that he’d encountered some sort of primordial time being- even if he was still investigating that on his down time.
So he thinks he can be forgiven for forgetting to mention anything until Clark drops a cup while staring at him with a pale expression and shakily asks why there’s a second, slower heartbeat in his chest. He just also wishes it wasn’t in the middle of a League meeting.
