A Solar cycle is a unit of time that corresponds to how long Cybertron takes to rotate on its axis, which makes it the equivalent of to a day on Cybertron. There are ten solar cycles within a deca-cycle (or a Cybertronian week) and thirty-two solar cycles in an orbital cycle. Each solar cycle of a deca-cycle has a name given to it. They are, in the order that they would appear in a deca-cycle:
- Dillesol
- Gerbesol
- Davisol
- Maleksol
- Marxsol
- Glutsol
- Robbisol
- Wolsol
- Dixosol
- Wisesol
