If only all the BW expanded universe fiction that's been made over the years didn't take her claim so literally.
And if only the earlier fandom of the late-90s/2000s didn't also treat a lot of that expanded universe fiction as gospel at the time, as if it were all on the same level of...
A "stellar cycle" is a Cybertronian year. 400 Earth days according to Larry DiTillio.
You're correct about "solar cycle" meaning "day", but "planetary cycle" is not a term that exists in any Transformers media.
One more thing I forgot to mention was that Dinobot once said the following to Tigatron in "Law of the Jungle":
"If Megatron takes the energon wealth of this world unopposed, he will begin a war. A war that will destroy Cybertron and shatter galaxies, until only one side survives. It has been...
I should probably also mention that the "three centuries ago" claim was only mentioned once, in passing, and never mentioned again in either show.
And, interestingly, there have been a number of other timeframes given in media outside of the two American Beast Era cartoons.

And this is why the history between the Autobot/Decepticon era and the Maximals/Predacon era is such a vague mess.
The first episode made mention of an event called the "Great War". Bob Forward originally didn't intend for it to mean much beyond "some conflict happened in the past and that's...
Heh, well, turns out the fandom was mistaken about the Sourcebook implying BW Mutant Soundwave to be G1 Soundwave. All his profile said was that he had previously fought in a war that ended with the signing on the Pax Cybertronia. And according to the IDW BW timeline as laid out by the...
Confirmed: SS86 Commander class Ultra Magnus is taller than SS86 Leader class Grimlock and towers over Kingdom Rodimus.
