	I'm not totally up on the IDW standardized time stuff, but is it concievable that since BM was set on Cybertron that a "Stellar-cycle" equals one day there, which just happens to be the equivelent of ~7.5 Earth months? I mean I know it's speculation but that could explain the disparity between the usage, yes/no? --[[User:ZacWilliam\|ZacWilliam]] 12:21, 3 April 2007 (UTC)		I'm not totally up on the IDW standardized time stuff, but is it concievable that since BM was set on Cybertron that a "Stellar-cycle" equals one day there, which just happens to be the equivelent of ~7.5 Earth months?
