Cybertronian Units of Time
I damn near had an aneurysm trying to figure this out, so first lemme preface it--I headcanon that Cybertron's planet orbits and rotates at a much, much slower rate than earth, which gives Cybertronians a different value of time as a whole. They find comfort in that they have so much of it, and so they don't value it nearly as much as we humans do. In short, they're incredibly bad procrastinators lol.
They value their age in terms of 'vorns'. A stellar cycle is the time it takes for their planet to make a round around the sun.
Anyways, here's the time units I'm using for Mad Bird whenever I reference them. (otherwise I'll mainly be using human references)
Nano-Klik = 1/100th of a klik (4.98 seconds ~ *reasoning* 4.98 * 100 = 498 s and 498 s / 60 s = 8.3 mins) – cybertronian second
Klik = 8.3 mins – cybertronian minute
Mega-klik = 50 kliks (415 mins ~ 6.9 hrs) – cybertronian half hour
Joor = 100 kliks (830 mins ~ 13.8 hrs) – cybertronian hour
Cycle = 1,000 kliks ~ 10 Joors (8300 mins ~ 5.76 days) – cybertronian day
Mega-Cycle = 5,000 kliks ~ 5 Cycles (41500 mins ~ 28 days ~ 4.12 weeks) – cybertronian week
Quartax = 15,000 kliks ~ 3 Mega-Cycles (124500 mins ~ 12.35 weeks ~ 2.84 months) – cybertronian quarter-month
Orn = 60,000 kliks ~ 4 Quartaxes (498,000 mins ~ 49.4 weeks ~ 11.4 months) – cybertronian month
Stellar Cycle = 600,000 kliks ~ 10 Orns (4,980,000 mins ~ 113.7 months ~ 9.5 years) – cybertronian year
Vorn = 100 Stellar Cycles (498,000,000 mins ~ 947.5 years) – cybertronian century
