Okay. Stay with me, babes. But after five hours, and half a brain aneurysm, I did it.
One Cybertronian day, let's call it a Rotational Cycle, is 1000 human hrs.
Rotational Cycle: 1000 hrs
There are 41.667 human days in a Rotational Cycle.
There are 387,420,489 Rotational Cycles in a Cybertronian ‘month’.
There are 9 ‘months’ in a Revolving Cycle or ‘year’.
So, multiplying 387,420,489 by 9 gave me 3,486,784,401 Rotational Cycles in a ‘year’
This means there are 145,283,845,636 human days in a Revolving Cycle.
Which means each cycle is roughly 398,037,933 human years.
And because every Cybertronian's spark is linked to a star, their life span is roughly ten billion years, which means they live to be about 25 Revolving Cycles.
Speaking of those 25 Revolving Cycles, they're broken up into five different categories, kind of.
The first Revolving Cycle is the incubation period, when the parental figures combine reproductive energon and fill the tank of the ‘carrier’ i.e. the Dame/maternal figure (it doesn't have to be female), and then put that tank into a pod for the sparkling to form.
Once developed into the shape of a smaller, weaker Cybertronian, the sparkling reaches its infant period, then child, then young adult, then adult. All in five cycles.
Think of it as going from 1 to 20 out of 100 years in five instances.
After that, they just age and age until they hit 25 Cycles and go supernova with their assigned star.
Like I said before, a Revolving Cycle has 9 months in it, all representing the nine primes as each month's Zodiac.
There are three seasons in a year:
Ruby, Citrine, and Sapphire.
Ruby is the coldest season because it represents the red stars. It's also the darkest period of a Revolving Cycle.
Citrine is like a Spring or Fall, being the middle period between Ruby and Sapphire. Representing yellow stars, it's still cool, but not near as cold as Ruby.
Sapphire is the hottest season of the Cycle. It represents blue stars, which are the hottest.
If a sparkling is produced in a Ruby month, they will have red optics and will typically possess a bigger, stronger body type, due to red giants of course.
If they were to be born in a Citrine month, then they would be smaller but more intelligent.
If a sparkling is born in a Sapphire month, then it will be “closer to Primus” due to him being a blue star himself being the star the planet revolves around from about 10,000 or more Astronomical Units away. Those of the Sapphire months will be the strongest, but most average appearing, due to being in “God's image”. It's also why now more typically those who become primes in the newest eras have blue optics.
These seasons carry three months within, though I'm still working on names for them, we'll just use their zodiac to define them.
These three are the Ruby season
Megatronus Prime
Nexus Prime
Onyx Prime
These three are the Citrine season
Solus Prime
Quintus Prime
Alchemist Prime
These three are the Sapphire season
Alpha Trion
Zeta Prime
Prima
The beginning of Ruby and the end of Sapphire are where most clash. Take D-16 and Orion Pax. D-16 was produced on the Megatronus month while Orion was produced on Prima's. Both are the most intense of these seasons and don't mix very well.
Cybertron is split into three territories relating to the seasons. Ruby's territory is the coldest and darkest despite it getting plenty of sun, its inhabitants have exceptional night vision and typically have darker paint jobs.
The Citrine territory is more of a goldilocks kind of area, with little to no overexposure to heat and an overall advance in technology.
The Sapphire territory is the hottest and its inhabitants are typically lighter in color due to the stars fading their paint.
Well, I haven't slept at all and it's 6:40 AM here for me. Bye for now, pooks~!
