Geocache Description:


A great battle was fought here and unfortunately this Autobot Transformer fell by the hands of the Decepticons.

Unlike prior Ancient Autobot Burial Grounds, in this case it's hard to tell exactly 'where' he is. The Deceptions ripped him apart, and so only pieces of him may be found throughout this forest. At one of the sites you will find various scraps of metal (muffler, tubing, and other misc. body parts) along with other garbage such as cans and bottles; just south of the trash pile you may spot some tires that one belonged to him; elsewhere in the forest you should spot his 'hood'; also over in 'GC7RTWN' you could spot his car door and car seat.

You must find and sign his Energon cube. In this case it's not actually lost, however the Decepticons could never find it as it's much smaller than normal, and he always kept it "close to his heart".

To find the location of the Energon cube (container), you must navigate to the following coordinates (after solving the riddles):

N 45° 14.2[A][B+1]' W 75° 54.9[C+2][D+5]'
Note: The brackets do NOT mean multiplication, and each bracket resolves to a single digit.


[FIELD PUZZLE]

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: It's a little bit of a bush whack to get to the first stage, once "in" however, it's not to difficult to traverse to the other stages.

The corresponding number for each "object" that is found at the stages:
  • 1 = A box used to store surplus Autobot Energon cubes (which have since been stolen)
  • 2 = The burial ground (garbage and Transformer body parts)
  • 3 = Remnants of an Ancient Autobot hideout
  • 4 = Autobot perimeter defense material and handheld liquid Energon transportation devices (not to be confused with a 'garbage' pile, which has many more objects than the 2 listed here.)
Destinations to "Observe" at:
  • A = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 14.196' W075° 54.917' (corresponds to Stage 1)
  • B = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 14.226' W075° 54.900' (corresponds to Stage 2)
  • C = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 14.231' W075° 54.912' (corresponds to Stage 3)
  • D = Number of 'thing' found at: N45° 14.238' W075° 54.914' (corresponds to Stage 4)
Be careful when you move the 'object' at the final destination... you don't want the cache to fall off on the ground.
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.
