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)_/¯ 

(PLEASE REBLOG THIS IF YOU LIKE IT SO THAT MORE FANS CAN SEE IT!)

Listen, listen.

Shinjo said that Kagerou's AI chip was wiped before it was put in the submarine but despite that, at the end, Kagerou came through and activated the escape pod for Shadowmaru. So!

Later in the series we see that Super AI chips can reject reformatting - Deckerd's subconscious cut all access to his memories even after he agreed to the process in the first place. I have no doubt that Kagerou's AI wouldn't be any different - especially when he was about to be wiped against his will and earlier made it very clear how important the memories were to him. However, unlike Regina, Shinjo didn't have a spare chip at hand and if he wanted to make his plan work, he had to find another way.

I believe that Kagerou's data was simply partitioned away, encrypted, and Shinjo's data added on top. That's how Kagerou was able to break through just a little at the end, because he was still there, trapped and locked away, talking to Shadowmaru through a crack in the concrete wall he was put behind.

And then, in the golden glow of the sunset, Shadowmaru sat at the pier, head down, palm curled in a fist. The team tried to console him, only for Shadowmaru to open his palm... with Kagerou's AI chip in hand.

Shinjo's speech about Kagerou being wiped was nothing more than arrogant boasting to add salt to the wound. And with the right tools, enough time and patience, encrypted files can be recovered.

I hath convinc'd my family to play it. Most were happy.

My father said that it takes too long, but I think it's because he's an oldass and it was getting late.

Im bringing my card holding Homunculus to the family gathering.

Wish me luck in trying to convince someone to play my board game.

Soundwave and his children.

You guys do know you're supposed to reblog things, right

How will it be?

I think Ayunna would know how to play on a piano really good. She probably plays it sometimes and records her playing and singing something, but its much softer and quiter than her usual singing.

Ayunna and Mizu tried playing it together. It sounded nice I think.
