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 minutes) 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!)

Funny ideas for the Terrans

- Yknow how when little kids fall over they fill their lungs with enough air to wail like an air siren? Thrash does that sometimes.

- Nightshade - being a bird - can’t see glass after getting their alt mode. This means they have to be careful, and are always very cautious to make sure there’s some sort of a perch to land on beforehand.

this is 100% because while for a while Dot left the kitchen window open bc it was nice outside, one night she closed it, and they would normally swoop in using mass shifting and land on the counter to greet her and Alex in the morning before work, or help with the dishes. But it was closed, so they confidently swooped in, believing it was still open, and ramming straight into it head on, smashing their beak into the glass (the window cracked), then fell. It was quiet a moment before they started absolutely wailing hysterically on the ground, because that really hurt their fragile/sensitive beak. Dot, horrified and feeling terrible, immediately rushed out and whisked them up to comfort them. That is how it was discovered they’re blind to glass now, and ever since she has put stickers on the windows to help indicate if they’re open or closed for them.

- Twitch will sometimes get zoomies, except she’s zooming so fast and so completely ‘no thought head empty’/hyperfocused on zooming, she ends up stuck in the dirt, and has to be pulled out. Then she’s off and within the next two minutes she’s done it again.

- Hashtag lags sometimes. She’s an internet hotspot, basically, and those have their troubles, so sometimes she’ll lag like that after overuse or something. It leads to some silly things, and once she was stuck so long the others turned it into the mannequin challenge.

- Jawbreaker has turned really big tires into hamster wheels sometimes, and has even been caught sleeping in them. This has lead to him inadvertently winning hide and seek.

i was NOT tagged and i will be tagging no one because people SCARE me but hurt/comfort tag be upon yee

and right when i was specifically looking for angst

If this man has to haunt me, he has has to haunt you.

Meet Sweaty. He’s a 42 year old absol and lives with his human mom in Castelia, Unova.

Some Absol headcanons:

I do think part of why Absols have such a bad rep among people is partially due to folklore of them appearing before and after horrific disasters, but also because they have such a human face. Imagine seeing this mf in the dark woods watching you. Something that looks human, but is not. Something that sounds human, but is NOT. Follow this by a horrific landslide.

Do you see the problem. Humans remember human faces. Predators sometimes mimic their prey. Absols have the truly unfortunate evolutionary quirk of falling into both categories.

So yes, there was a huge stigma against absols which led to a pretty severe population decline.

In modern day (much like wolves), Absols have become media darlings, in large thanks to a the help of pokemon rangers who utilize Absol’s ability to sense weather as an indicator when to evacuate. They are a very long lived species and need lots of intense exercise, often declaring huge swaths of land as their personal territories. Absols also tend to get very anxious when they feel they do not have enough space, so keeping them with other pokemon’s usually a no no.

Sweaty’s mom used to be a pokemon ranger and found Sweaty stuck in a refrigerator. Nowadays, she lets him free roam—much to the chagrin of every other person in the area. Sweaty in turn makes himself a nuisance to the local icecream store, begging for treats.

(The kids love him. He comes home with ink and paint stained everywhere and it’s a nightmare to clean.)

Hate my human faced monstrosities? Thank @tjs-stuffs for this. Ciao!
