Cybertronian Units of Time: a Guide
...concocted by me, via:
Canon Definitions
Most Common Terms Used in Fandom (that I have seen)
Most Common Interpretations of Aforementioned Terms
Math That Makes Those Terms Make Sense Together
Filling in the Blanks With What Sounded Good (to me)
So essentially I began with Cybertronian units with explicit definitions in canon that are also widely used in fandom (ie. Vorn = 83 years, Joor = 6 hours, Groon = 1 hour). I then worked my way out from those and tried to keep to rough factors of 6/8/10.
Some terms that did have explicit canon definitions had to be slightly skewed from their value (ie. Breem: 8 → 6 minutes, Klik: 8 → 6 seconds) if their definition contradicted another definition that made more sense/fit better.
At any rate, obviously no one is obligated to use this standard, but canon Transformers content has been unfortunately... awful at establishing any universal units of time, their relationship to each other, or their equivalents to human units of time.
So this occasionally makes fanfiction an absolute nightmare for people like me with a crap memory who don’t want to constantly have to scroll through a thousand pages of the wiki to remind themselves what the hell a groon is.
So, naturally, I simply spent far too long whipping up this at-a-glance guide to keep track of it & on the off chance that the fandom might adopt it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(PLEASE REBLOG THIS IF YOU LIKE IT SO THAT MORE FANS CAN SEE IT!)

a redraw of an old piece d did in 2019! It got me through a rough patch in high school and i spent every hour i could to catch up and eventually be able to watch it live. Every one shot, every appearance or mention in the other campaigns. I love these nerdy-ass voice actors <3

hilarious to me that had Fearne not called him on it Groon might have just quietly let the party with two Ruidusborn go forward and then been like "well we're probably only going to expect five of them back but. them's the breaks."

When Grog first meets Earthbreaker Groon, we see Grog looking down on him. Seeing just some puny old man and himself as a mighty warrior.
Later, after losing his strenght and losing against Kevdak, he has a vision of Groon, only this time, Grog is looking up, himself bellow Groon.
He has been humbled, become aware of his own shortcomings and limitations and thus, he sees himself as bellow Groon. He has matured, as represented by his magical beard. Teared down so he can rebuild himself stronger and better.
But Groon?
Groon looks straight at Grog. Not up nor down.
Because he sees the raw potential in him, and the mighty warrior he can one day become.
