| '''Temporary Files'''
| |
| == Units of Time ==
| |
| === Marvel Comics ===
| |
| ;Breem
| |
| :8.3 minutes
| |
| :Originally defined in the [[Marvel Comics]], also used in [[Dreamwave]]'s comics.
| |
|
| |
| ;Orn
| |
| :???
| |
| :A unit of undetermined duration. It is apparently defined as "one Cybertronian lunar day".
| |
|
| |
| ;Vorn
| |
| :83 years
| |
| :Originally defined in the [[Marvel Comics]], also used in [[Dreamwave]]'s comics.
| |
|
| |
| === Marvel UK comics ===
| |
| ;Cycle
| |
| :2 hours
| |
| :In the UK G1 comic story, "[[Target 2006]]", [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] timed his mission on Earth in Cycles that were exactly equal to 2 hours.
| |
|
| |
| ;Groon
| |
| :~1 hour
| |
| :Roughly equivalent to an hour. In the UK G1 comic story, "[[The Magnificent Six!]]", [[Megadeath]] let his broken Autobot prisoners go with a neutronic blast imminent in two groons. Retelling this event to [[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] in 1990, [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz]] described the time as two hours.
| |
|
| |
| ;Joor
| |
| :???
| |
| :Used idiomatically like "hour", but of unknown duration. In the UK G1 comic story, "[[The Magnificent Six!]]", [[Steamhammer (G1)|Steamhammer]] had an inspection parade scheduled at 0700 joors, not long after Cybertron's lunar dawn.
| |
|
| |
| === Beast Wars ===
| |
| ;Nano-klik
| |
| :~1 second
| |
| :As with the ''Beast Wars'' cycle, this unit is ''on the order of'' a second, as defined by the series' story editors. Used similarly in [[IDW]] comics.
| |
|
| |
| ;Milli-Cycle
| |
| :???
| |
| :A unit of undetermined duration. It was often mentioned since Episode 6 in [[Beast Wars (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]].
| |
|
| |
| ;Cycle
| |
| :~1 minute
| |
| :[[Beast Wars (cartoon)|''Beast Wars'' cartoon]] story editors [[Bob Forward]] and [[Larry DiTillio]] stated that the "cycles" used in their series were ''very roughly'' equivalent to a minute. Maybe more, maybe less, but something of that order of magnitude.
| |
|
| |
| ;Mega-cycle
| |
| :~1 hour
| |
| :As with the ''Beast Wars'' cycle, this unit is ''on the order of'' an hour, as defined by the series' story editors. Used incongruously in [[The Agenda, Part 1]] to refer to a much longer span of time. (One of the Tripedicus council says, "His ship and the Axalon both vanished last megacycle. The Maximal probes never found them.") [[Ben Yee]] cites a statement from DiTillio that another unit -- the deca-cycle -- is roughly year-like in length.[http://www.bwtf.com/bw/tvshow/geninfo.shtml] This may be the unit that was intended for that line of dialogue.
| |
|
| |
| ;''Day''
| |
| :~20 hours
| |
| :A unit of undetermined name. As with the ''Beast Wars'' cycle, this unit is on the order of a day on Cybertron, as defined by the series' story editors.
| |
|
| |
| ;Deca-cycle
| |
| :~30 days
| |
| :As with the ''Beast Wars'' cycle, this unit is on the order of a month, as defined by the series' story editors.
| |
|
| |
| ;Stellar cycle
| |
| :~400 days
| |
| :Orbital period (a Cybertronian "year") for Cybertron as stated by Larry DiTillio in information sent to Ben Yee. DiTillio also volunteers that Cybertron's rotational period (a "day") is ~20 hours.
| |
|
| |
| === IDW universe ===
| |
| ;Klik
| |
| :1.2 minutes
| |
| :Defined for use in the IDW universe by Simon Furman in a forum post.
| |
|
| |
| ;Cycle
| |
| :1 hour 15 minutes (1.25 hours)
| |
| :Defined for use in the IDW universe by [[Simon Furman]] in a forum post.[http://idwpublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=150]
| |
|
| |
| ;Deca-cycle
| |
| :~3 weeks
| |
| :Defined for use in the IDW universe by Simon Furman in a forum post.
| |
|
| |
| ;Mega-cycle
| |
| :93 hours
| |
| :Defined for use in the IDW universe by Simon Furman in a forum post.
| |
|
| |
| ;Meta-cycle

|
| |
| === Miscellaneous ===
| |
| ;Astrosecond
| |
| :.498 seconds
| |
| :Defined by Dreamwave's [[More Than Meets The Eye]] #8 as 1/1000th of a breem. Astroseconds as referenced in the [[Generation 1 (cartoon)|''Generation 1'' cartoon]] seem to be much shorter, but were never defined. In particular, in "[[Divide and Conquer]]" Shockwave states that the [[space bridge]] will materialize within 72 billion astroseconds, an interval exceeding a millenium if Dreamwave's definition is applied. Even ignoring this extreme case, astroseconds in general cartoon use appeared to be much less than one second each.
| |
|
| |
| ;Quartex
| |
| :???
| |
| :A unit of undetermined duration. In the very first ''Transformers'' cartoon episode, "[[More Than Meets The Eye, Part 1]]", [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] complains that the shoddy [[energy conductors]] he and [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] picked up don't have enough juice in them to last a quartex, so make of that what you will.

Hi, I removed that pic of the towtruck you uploaded onto Longarm's page, because the file size was far too large (the wiki software warns you when you upload a filesize over its recommended limits) and since there is no information as to where it comes from (TFW2005 is not the source in this case), I don't know of the legality of using it here. --FFN 14:39, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you a lot for your efforts !! :) --TX55 15:17, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
