That basically means Magnus sends information unencrypted. Essentially, the hack is possible because the Decepticons discovered the frequency on which Ultra Magnus communicates with his comrades, allowing the impostors to impersonate him. Oddly enough, the practical lesson here is not about frequency hacking. Megatron announces that he has managed to hack in to the hitherto secret frequency and transmit a message to the Autobots, luring them into his trap.

If we look past the fantasy element (the “spark” that is the “soul” of a Transformer), then their basic principles of existence are the same as those of modern devices: They are lumps of hardware with computerized filling. After all, Transformers are cyberphysical systems controlled by advanced artificial intelligence. On the whole, the Transformer universe is pretty fascinating from a cybersecurity perspective.

In my opinion, animated movies have lots of useful things to teach kids - and I’m not talking about the usual morality tales they always weave in.Īnimated series, especially science fiction, can be used to illustrate the basics of cybersecurity, which, without entertaining visuals, would not hold kids’ attention for very long. Some have nothing against it, others say it’s a waste of time.

Parents, however, react to the pastime in different ways. I have yet to meet a single child who doesn’t love watching animated movies.
