Photo Journal: Transformers 3 Filming in Chicago

Written by Kyle about United States. Feelin' excited

A couple weeks ago in Chicago, as we walked from one train station to another, we saw a frenzied group of people running around and snapping photos.  We thought it was curious that people were clammering to get a shot of a semi truck until, of course, we relized that it was no normal semi truck: it was the one and only Optimus Prime!

While neither of us have seen either of the previous 2 Transformer movies, it's hard not to get caught up in the excitement, so we snapped our own fan photos of the scene around us.  And before you ask, no, we did not see Megan Fox.

More than meets the eye?


Actually, for a Transformer, Optimus Prime had a hard time taking a sharp right turn


Bessie is excited to see that even Transformers need help sometimes.


Ok, racecar, you win.


I give racecars with large weapons two thumbs up.
