Episode 7 Review:
- "This is ma favourite Autobot cache until now and it deserves such gratitude." - Rhinograde (Co-FTF)
- "This cache was so much fun to do! We found it to be really well set up and are impressed by the CO's imagination and creativity!" - Gadelle (Co-FTF)
Warning: Gun hunting for deer is usually the first 2 full weeks in November. Bow hunters could be in here starting in October. You may be better off to come earlier, or later. Wear blaze orange if you do decide to do come during the season.
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 will find the lost Energon Cube at the following location:
N45° 12.(A+1)(C+G-5)(D-H+4)' W075° 51.(B+2)(E-I+k-2)(F-J-2)
A = The digital root of the year that the original Transformers animated television series aired.
B = The digital root of the year that the original Transformers animated television series ended.
C = The digital root of the name of the Transformer shown in the picture below. Note: This one could be easy if you have been paying attention in the past. You have actually already seen him, just not in this form... (hint: 9 letters and starts with a "T". Also, looking at the colors used and features might help figure out who you saw in the past...)
------ FIELD PUZZLE ------
You must navigate to the coordinates along the Rideau Trail 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 = A broken snow mobile
- 3 = Autobot perimeter defense material
- 5 = Handheld "liquid Energon" transportation objects
- 7 = A large "liquid Energon" tanker (caution: subject to implosion if not regularly maintained)
- 9 = Autobot wheel repair depot
Destinations to "Observe" at:
- D = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 12.729' W075° 51.671' (corresponds to Stage1)
- E = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 12.578' W075° 51.919' (corresponds to Stage2)
- F = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 12.561' W075° 51.944' (corresponds to Stage3)
- G = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 12.526' W075° 52.001' (corresponds to Stage4)
- H = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 12.510' W075° 52.028' (corresponds to Stage5)
Once you have gathered all the information above, head over to the deceased Autobot who died in a horrific explosion where half of his body has melted away. You can find him at: N45° 12.473' W075° 52.081'.
Now observe the remains and answer the following:
I = If the Autobot is a car, then 1, if the Autobot is a truck, then 2; however if the Autobot is a snowmobile, then 3.
J = The number of tires that are still attached to the Autobot, multiplied by 2.
K = If the Autobot is 'normal side up', then 2, however if the Autobot is upside down (i.e. wheels facing up), then 1.
Note:
The total hike to find the Transformer and the cache, and to then make your way back to the car is under 3km.
Be sure to private message me if you know of any other undiscovered Autobot burial grounds (old cars or random scraps of metal) in, or near, Ottawa ;) - and don't forget to 'favorite' these if you are enjoying the series.
