Ancient Autobot Burial Ground #33 Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

dave_laf: This cache is now archived and the cache container is not there.

I received the tip to this location by a random person in a facebook group:
Abandoned Ottawa-Gatineau (https://www.facebook.com/groups/101618683358172/)
Many in the group enjoy finding vehicle wrecks (and other abandoned things), and have since given me the locations to several other vehicle wrecks, suggesting I document their locations via a geocache (I certainly don't have the time to find them all). This site was one of them.

I have received complaints about people trespassing and so this cache is going to be archived.
The container was on the fence beside the road (like many other geocache containers), and the puzzle was derived such that no trespassing was required. I also feel like the average geocacher tends to be respectful about their surroundings, and would not damage property (fences) or trespass (so if there were cases, it could have been other people). But either way, it's best to take no chances, and so archiving this cache will mostly prevent future geocachers from coming to this area.

Geocache Description:


A Decepticon bomb landed at N 45° 19.153' W 076° 06.055'. It is currently unknown if any Autobots were injured in the blast.

An Energon cube was hidden nearby (perhaps that's why the Decepticon attacked this area).



The Energon cube is located here: N 45° 19.1(A+B-4)0' W 76° 6.0(C+D-2)6'

Where:

A = 0 if no Autobots were harmed in the blast, 1 if one Autobot was harmed in the blast, or 2 if more than one Autobot was harmed in the blast.

B = The digital root of the name of the comic company that first published a comic book series bearing the name "Transformers". (Hint: 2 words, first word starts with an 'M' and second word starts with a 'C')

C = The digital root of the year that this first comic book series was produced in.

D = 0 if the Autobot(s) (if any) at the blast site are upside down (wheels facing up) or 1 if the Autobot(s) are normal side up.


Note: The answers can be obtained by parking on Bearhill and without crossing the fence. There is no need to trespass what so ever to solve this puzzle, you can observe the Autobots from a distance.
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 (this also increases the visibility of this series, and will draw in more cachers).
