Looking again at Spotlight Wheelie it is possible that the message Optimus saw wasn't the one Wheelie sent while crashing, but the one he sent with his makeshift transmitter? However Wheelie sent that messages for Deca-cycles, Mega-Cycles, Stellar-Cycles, and finally Meta-Cycles. Since Stellar-Cycles are a year (although a year of the particular planet) I thought Meta-Cycles would be a larger grouping of Stellar-Cycles? (Decades?) The last two pages are noted as being a "year" later from the main events.... but either way the story happens where you've noted it as far as I'm concerned too.
The wiki is currently down, so I can't double check, but I believe Simon said on the IDW forums that meta-cycles were 13 months, but maybe he changed it since then.

TF/Avengers is not part of my personal canon :P In any case, its exclusion barely even registers a blip on the overall storyline.
