joke meta that would be funny if true: you know how transformers time keeping varies from continuity to continuity? like how a “cycle” is like, an hour in Beast Wars, but a full day or sometimes a month in other places?
what if that’s not a continuity thing, but a city-state thing? to a mech in iacon, a klik is about a second. to mech in vos, it’s a minute. in kaon a vorn is three years – in tetrahex it’s three months.
this leads to a lot of confusion when a unit has a bunch of mechs from different places.
