This may seem like a strange request for Transformers 3, but Seibertron.com explains, “it was also revealed this week that armies from Ukraine and Iran would be portrayed in the film.” So it looks like they’ll be shooting some of those army scenes in Chicago. Filming is expected to begin in Chicago in the next couple of weeks.
