That chart makes things out to be too clear cut. For example, I'm sure Megacycle had other uses in Beast Wars that don't correspond to years. And here to muddy up the waters even more is Furman's explanation of time units in the IDW-verse, from [http://idwpublishing.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=150 this thread] on the IDW boards:
 
*A nano-klik is approximately one Earth second
*A klik is about 1.2 Earth minutes
*A cycle is about 1 hour 15 mins
*A mega-cycle is about 93 hours
*A deca-cycle is approx 3 weeks
*A stellar-cycle is 7.5 months (there or thereabouts)
*A Meta-cycle is about 13 months
 
So, uh, yeah. --[[User:KilMichaelMcC|KilMichaelMcC]] 11:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Revision as of 11:41, 31 March 2007

Given the many DIVISIONS of Cycle, and the disagreement of terminology (Megacucle is used as everythign from hour to years) I suggest makign this the page for the various verions of cycle. Decacycle, megacycle, Gigacycle, etc.

And fore refernece, TF's first use of Cycles was Target 2006, whcich established that 1 cycle was EXACTLY 2 Earh Hours. -Derik19:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't orns be added to this chart as well? I don't want to muck with that coding but otherwise I'd add it in. --ZacWilliam 10:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

That chart makes things out to be too clear cut. For example, I'm sure Megacycle had other uses in Beast Wars that don't correspond to years. And here to muddy up the waters even more is Furman's explanation of time units in the IDW-verse, from this thread on the IDW boards:

  • A nano-klik is approximately one Earth second
  • A klik is about 1.2 Earth minutes
  • A cycle is about 1 hour 15 mins
  • A mega-cycle is about 93 hours
  • A deca-cycle is approx 3 weeks
  • A stellar-cycle is 7.5 months (there or thereabouts)
  • A Meta-cycle is about 13 months

So, uh, yeah. --KilMichaelMcC 11:41, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
