This is a reconnaissance mission for a new Autobot Scout graduate. There are rumors that Soundwave deployed a member from his 'special missions force' mini-cassettes to steal an Energon cylinder.
In order to uncover the location of the stolen Energon cylinder, you must first discover which Decepticon stole it...
You can find the Decepticon here:
N45° 13.(A-2)(D+1)(D)' W076° 11.(E+3)(B)(C+4)'
A = The digital root of the name of the Decepticon shown above (Hint: Starts with an 'R' and has 6 letters).
B = The digital root of the name of the Decepticon shown above (Hint: Starts with an 'R' and has 6 letters).
C = The digital root of the name of the Decepticon shown above (Hint: Starts with an 'L' and has 9 letters).
D = The digital root of the name of the Decepticon shown above (Hint: Starts with an 'O' and has 8 letters. Note: Use his original name, which is pre-2016. His new name has 9 letters, but that's not what you want to use here...).
E = The digital root of the name of the Decepticon shown above (Hint: Starts with an 'S' and has 8 letters).
Confirmation: DR(A+B+C+D+E) = 7
Once there, you can observe the Decepticon from the road (look on a rock in front of a house...or at the back end of the driveway [he is known to wander]). Be sneaky and do not let that Decepticon be aware of your presence... (Note: Google street view will be of no help here... he took rest here after the maps were created)
F = Let F be equal to the digital root of the Decepticon (mentioned above) that you find at this location (i.e. it's equal to either A, B, C, or E) MULTIPLIED BY 385. (Note: I case you can't really tell what the options are, we have a robot/man, panther, bird, or a stegosaurus dinosaur with 4 legs and spikies)
G = You need to look at the color of this Decepticon (i.e. the main color of the 'body' of the Decepticon). Note: The Decepticon may, or may not, have had a paint job relative the the colors you may find in the images above. The corresponding number for the color is given below:
- blue = 352.356
- yellow = 162.356
- orange = 121.891
- green = 55.356
The stolen Energon cylinder is located here:
F meters at bearing of G° (relative to true north) from the exact coordinates of the Decepticon you found (i.e. use the coordinates that were calculated above, and don't try to re-read the location with your GPS).
(Please avoid taking pictures of the surroundings that may be revealing, this will avoid future brute force attempts based on the location...)
