It should be obvious, but please do not post pictures of the Autobot, this challenge is to spot him...
Eye Spy With My Robot Eye, Part 2 of 4
The Kanata Autobot Academy is a private school for gifted Transformers. It teaches young Autobots a wide range of skills that will eventually lead to prestigious careers in the Autobot ranks - such as an infantry soldier, or part of the Marine Defence Force, or becoming an Autobot Scout, etc.
The teachers are designing a new exam that the students must pass if they are to graduate as an Autobot Scout. The most important skill an Autobot Scout needs is the skill of observation. This new exam will consist of four parts or challenges, with each challenge being harder than the previous one.
Part 1 taught the upcoming Autobot Scout how to use technology such as Google Street View to aid in scouting activities, however Part 2 of the exam tests their ability to distinguish an unmarked Autobot from all the other normal cars out there (i.e. Google Street View will be of no help for this part). The soon to be Autobot Scout will have to go there, and see it for themselves...
Please read the history lesson from Part 1 here: Part 1 (GC89K6H). A different Autobot from the Ashton Defense Force also has been working closely with his human companions for many years. You can find him somewhere along Old Mill road. You need to determine the year that the Autobot started working with his human friends. This answer will be obvious once you find the Autobot (black font surrounded by yellow...). This 4 digit number (year) can be written as ABCD, also let E be equal to the digital root of C+D. Once the values for A, B, C, D and E are known, you can find the Energon cylinder here:
N 45° 09.(E-2)(B-2)(A+1)' W 76° 02.(D-5)(C-7)(A)'
As a reference, the other parts of the Autobot Scout exam are:
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).
