We all know that Transformers 3 is being filmed in Chicago amongst other locations around the country and the world thanks to a recent post by Michael Bay. The dream came one step closer to reality for Chicago Transfans as Collecticon.org received confirmation from an un-named source that businesses along Michigan Avenue are being pre-emptively notified of an upcoming shoot for the movie.
This is awesome news! It shows that the cast and crew of Transformers 3 will continue to push the limits of their craft by filming in one of the highest traffic areas of the city. The big question now is will the shooting occur during the evening hours, or highly trafficed day-time hours? Chicago is no stranger to blockbuster movie shooting. The recent rebooted Batman films transformed Chicago into the infamous Gotham City, albeit with a bit of computer graphics magic. This time, Chicago will be waiving it’s flag proudly as the Decepticons and Autobots wage war upon our streets.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

First-Aid, it's not so much a road trip for me as it is simply driving there. If a group of us is going though, now would be the time to speak up since we might not know it's happening until the last second.

We should all show up wearing Transformer t shirts. So if we made it into the film it'd create like a space vortex paradox or something, becuase we'd be representing characters that are supposed to exist only in disguise.

Not a bad idea, I don't see much chance of it working though. For starters they would probably screen out people in background to avoid things exactly like what you propose. Even if you did make it in front of a camera by some slim chance, it takes all of about two seconds to edit out your tshirt, or even you yourself if they felt like it.
And on a personal note, if you really hate the movies then why the heck would you bother to show up in the first place? I'm pretty sure I could find something better to do with my time than willingly hang out at something I didn't like.

Aside from that, I'd go becuase I can, and honestly, even if they removed my shirt or whatever from the shot, when else would I get a chance to say I was on the screen of a motion picture? Or when would I get the chance to see someone shooting a motion picture? Basically, and I'm not certain how you're going to interpret anything I've said, I'd go becuase I could and because I think it would be neat to see something getting filmed. I didn't vote for Obama, but I tried to get in to see his speech at Grant Park when he was elected. It's not like I'd go to either event to heckle, but I'm certainly allowed to attempt to be present.

Ok, I gotcha. I understand what you're saying. It does seem impossible to stand somewhere in the middle on the movies, you're not allowed to say they were simply ok without those special "worst movie ever" people jumping in with loony toons remarks.
And G1 cartoon was the best, no doubt. Despite simple plots, quirks and story bloopers, it was still a high quality show which every franchise since is based on. They don't really compare though. Sure wish they could find a way to create new episodes, set between 1986-2005 maybe.
