Man.... thus would be hard enough WITHOUT the stylized Cybertronian. I swear over half these marks aren’t in that key :-?

They are, believe me! They're just a bit smudgier, but once you get the knack of direction of the squiggle and composition, they correspond (almost entirely) perfectly.

Thanks though, Va'al! While that was up, the correct decoding of the Cybertronian script was all I needed to work it out. (You're right, my tracing skills are a little off!)

Also, disregard my last comment. I simply didn't have the full thing to decode properly yet...

Now this is interesting. :-D

Also, isn't it interesting how this new G1 which is not G1 but a new 'first generation' for newer generations is still using that particular cipher? :-$

Good interesting? Or is the text simply "sideswipe was here?" Or maybe even "Starscream Windblade 2020"

I can generally work out which letter is supposed to be which now but it still needs cracking

"Ominous and cool, but I'm not entirely sure what it means just yet and probably need to brush up on my Transformers lore" kind of interesting. ;)

Once you have all the letters (and have them all correct), brute force is probably your best bet to crack it! :D

...Well, that or... let's just say there's a fairly significant number in Transformers, which is the key to solving it. A number of practically religious importance, you might say.

They styleized and spacing is too much, tried flipping and b/w which helped..... starting to think it’s shorthand? Or.... i’m Seeing things. Still don’t have it fully worked out.

I can't decide whether it's more fun decoding it, or cryptically hinting others toward their goal! This is the best evening I've had in quite a while :-D

Is it a G1 related cypher? (Not that I think it’d Help me lol). Peeking at the twitter hints; I still question some of the symbol choices. But I *am* doing this on my phone lol

Finally off the page!

The blacklight (light our darkest hour, geddit?) reveals the set of letters, which yes, do need to be rotated 90° clockwise to read - they are not in column. Qwan's tracing sorta helps, but some of the letters seem off from what I can see.

What you should get is the following string of letters: NPGVINGR BCRENGVBA PBHAGREFGEVXR.


Which obviously make no sense. But the Autobot alphabet was used on Antilla, which in some fiction is a Cybertronian colony.

And we all know how many of those there traditionally are...

You don't need to know that to try decoding the letters, but you can look at the post just above yours for some extra help.

The number of colonies might help crack a certain pattern, and help you shift closer.
