From the "Make your Character Bio" template:
"Age: -Years for humans or stellarcycles/solarcycles for bots (1 stellarcycle/solarcycle = 1 year). Bots typically live to up to 1000 Stellarcycles."
That part seems rather off to me, and in contradiction to the show. Prowl and Jazz are both shown to be at least 1 million stellar cycles old, as they were alive when Yoketron "went missing", yet neither of them seem to be ancient relics. And since the Great War took place 1 million years ago, that means there are lots of 'bots that lived back then and are still kicking-- at the very least, we know that Ultra Magnus, Highbrow (isn't he dead, killed by Shockwave?), Perceptor, Omega Supreme, Wheeljack, Mainframe, Arcee, Lockdown, and Megatron are that old, and that's only if we go directly by what they tell us. And let's not forget Ratchet, who's 4 million stellar cycles old-- which, while obviously old for a Cybertronian, it's not so old that he's a rusting relic with half his mind gone like, say, Jetfire from Revenge of the Fallen. Keeping this in mind, I pegged Lugnut's age at "2 million stellar cycles" in his bio, though if this is unacceptable I can obviously change it. I just think we're making Cybertronians too young, here.

We had a discussion about this quite some time ago in chat, Beastbot. Prowl admitted she was in error, but apparently didn't correct the gaffe. Where it comes to Cybertronians' ages, I tend to bypass the hassle of stating things in millions of years/stellar cycles by merely mentioning how old they would be if they were human. For instance, Blitzwing's age I have put forward as "the Cybertronian equivalent of about forty".

Yeah. I suggest you just ignore the technicalities and go with the 'about forty' idea. xD

Ah, OK. Changing Lugnut's bio to reflect this...
