You've seen it first hand here at Seibertron.com, the massive mayhem in Chicago's downtown during the Transformers 3 filming last week. As CBS Chicago reports, Michael Bay was very thankful to the people of Chicago for their cooperation during last week's filming. Check out a snippet of the article below!

It was another exciting day of movie magic in Chicago Saturday as shooting on "Transformers 3" continued. This weekend, the Magnificent Mile has been center stage for all the action.

Hundreds of fans have enjoyed a front-row seat to all the filming, but some Chicagoans aren't too happy about all the traffic headaches and street closures associated with the shoot.

The film's stars and director are well aware of that, and offered a special message via CBS 2: Sorry.

"Please allow me to formally apologize to the whole city for all of the traffic and for all of those extra blocks that you have to turn, just to get to where you're going," co-star Tyrese Gibson said. "But you know, we're bringing some energy to city, and we thank y'all for graciously allowing us to be here."

You can check out the rest of the article over at CBS Chicago.
