Transformers: More Than Meets the Eye (of Chicago)
So, you wanna know about Transformers in Chicago? Well, buckle up, 'cause we're about to dive deeper than Optimus Prime into a pool of robot-filled fun facts.
Chicago: The Autobot Capital (or Something Like It)
Let's get one thing straight: there aren't actual, giant robots roaming the streets of the Windy City. Yet. But Chicago has definitely had its fair share of Transformer-related excitement.
Remember that epic battle scene in Transformers: Dark of the Moon? Yeah, that was totally Chicago. We're talking about explosions, flying cars, and Optimus Prime looking all heroic against the backdrop of our beloved skyline. It was like a real-life Michael Bay movie, but without the terrible acting (okay, maybe a little bit of the terrible acting).
