***NOTE: The Autobot at the posted location and the object at stage 1 and stage 2 have been removed due to construction. The cache container is fine however, along with the off-line puzzle component obviously (so no need to archive this page). Because of this, everyone gets free answers for 'E', 'F' and 'G'. The answer for 'E 'is 1; the Autobot was a car. The answer for 'F' is 7; it was a misc. Autobot body part (large random scrap of metal). The answer for 'G' is 5; it was an Autobot mobility device (i.e. a tire)***
Also, since you will never see this poor Autobot again, I have attached a picture of him here:
A great battle was fought here and unfortunately this Autobot fell by the hands of the Decepticons.
During the battle, he lost his Energon Cube, which you must find and sign.
You must start your journey at at the posted coordinates (N 45° 16.476' W 075° 56.581') and pay your respects to the downed Autobot (and solve a field puzzle here...). To find the location of the lost Energon Cube (container), you must navigate from the posted coordinates to the following coordinates (after solving the riddles):
N45° 16.5(A+E+2)(B+F-9)' W075° 56.6(C+G-8)(D+H+1)'
A = The digital root of the year that "The Transformers: The Movie" was released in. (Hint: The background page image is relevant. i.e. I'm not talking about the several recent Transformer movies that came out since 2007...).
B = The digital root of the year that "The Transformers: The Movie" is set in.
C = This movie had children crying around the world (myself included) due to the death of an extremely popular and heroic Autobot. "C" is the digital root of his name. (Hint: 2 words - 1st word has 7 letters in it, the 2nd word has 5 letters in it)
D = The digital root of the name of a Decepticon voice actor for this movie who is well known for his role in the Star Trek universe. (Hint: His first name has 7 letters in it and his last name has 5 letters in it)
Confirmation: The digital root of A+B+C+D is 8
[FIELD PUZZLE]
Observe the remains of the deceased Autobot (at the posted coordinates) and answer the following question:
E = If the Autobot is a car, then E is 1, however if the Autobot is a motorcycle, then E is 5. (Note: Construction took the Autobot away, so the answer to this question is 1)
Now you must navigate to the coordinates listed below (virtual stages) and observe your surroundings. What you will find there will be associated with a number that you will need in order to find the lost Energon cube. The "corresponding number" and coordinates to visit are listed below. Note: The observation list may contain items that might not be obvious when reading it the first time, however when on site things will make a little more sense.
The corresponding number for each "object" that is found at the stages:
- 1 = Autobot Defense Lookout Tower
- 3 = Autobot Hideout/Camp
- 5 = A Transformer Mobility Device
- 7 = Misc. Autobot Body Part (metal)
- 9 = Underground Autobot Base Ventilation Pipe
Destinations to "Observe" at:
- F = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 16.496' W075° 56.582' (corresponds to Stage1) (Note: Construction took this, so the answer is 7)
- G = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 16.503' W075° 56.573' (corresponds to Stage2) (Note: Construction took this, so the answer is 5)
- H= Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 16.583' W075° 56.604' (corresponds to Stage3)
Be sure to private message me if you know of any other undiscovered Autobot burial grounds (old cars/trucks/motorcycles/skidoos or random scraps of metal) in, or near, Ottawa ;) - and don't forget to 'favorite' these if you are enjoying the series.
