The Transponder is a Resistance device used for locating Supply Crates.

Overview[edit]

The Transponder consists of a blue plastic casing with a small LCD on one end. Under the LCD are a small pin (presumably a control element) and two sockets, a red and a green one. The green socket is connected to a wire antenna. The red socket is connected to a pack of AA batteries, secured on the casing with a rubber tape.

At the start of Under the Radar, the Muscle Car is equipped with a radar at a Resistance outpost in Station 21. The radar picks up Transponders hidden in the area to signal emergency stashes. It can detect Transponders within approximately 100 meters, and display them as a Lambda logo. In addition to it, an active Transponder is made more noticeable to the eye by emitting a green glow. Once the Transponder's attached Supply Crate is broken, the device briefly switches to a red glow before deactivating.
