We all know Bay's habit of lying to us. Maybe he is only saying this to steer us away from the truth.

 

Let's hope so, otherwise the movie is going to underperform pretty badly this time.
Just a bigger scale Mission City like battle in Chicago again as the ending of the movie it's going to be redundant and boring.
If it's just the first main battle which ends the first part of the movie like the forest battle on Transformers2.. then there is still a chance..

And the Rosie topmodel girl.. she doesn't work on screen. What the heck did Michael Bay think ? How can't he see that she can't be a lead actress...

If there isn't going to be a lot of hidden things that we won't know until the movie gets released .. Transformers3 seems pretty doomed to underperform rather badly.

Better Spielberg got some magic hidden rabbits or this movie either won't work at all or will work just a bit and boxoffice results won't look good to Hasbro.

 

I'm definitely thinking that the Chicago battle is the last battle in the film, or at least close to being the final battle.

 

If they can execute it well.

I haven't been following too heavily, but the least that can happen is a well-done final battle. I would enjoy that.

 

Bay was a little upset at how short the final battle for ROTF was so don't be surprised if we have something big like the forest scene or Mission City. There's a lot fo destruction in Chicago and without any robots it's hard to imagine just what Bay has planned.

 

it probably is the last battle by looking at all the extreme amount of explosions being used the whole time theyve been filming in Chicago. If its not then where ever the final battle is, it should hopefully be more awesome than the "final battles" in the first 2 movies

 

Yep it's gonna be the Final Battle. From all the scenes i have seen being filmed it def feels like the end of the movie. It looks like it's going to be way more epic then the Mission city Final Battle.

 

I'm guessing so. Whatever is going on in Chicago, it's big, and it gives off the feeling of being the "grand finale".
It makes me wonder, though... what's so important in Chicago? In Mission City (or LA), the Allspark was there. In Egypt, there was the Sun Harvester. What's in Chicago?

Ivanka Trump just tweeted about this video of base jumpers jumping off of Trump Towers in Chicago.

YouTube - Transformers 3 shoot in Chicago - base jumping/gunfire

Looks like the city is pretty well destroyed in the area below the guy filming.

 

well what are the other filming locations... we know of flordia and wisconsion and some others..... i mean unless he plans on doing a CGI space battle or somthing i
deff can see this being the last battle
i kind of was hoping it wasnt gonna be the last fight maybe liek mid battle or first one... ehhh cant wit to find out..

 

That Video was Awesome.

 

Oh, no.
I still want a space battle!
That can't be the last one!

 

Whats that yellow car in that footage.?

 

From everything I have read in papers here or seen on the news, they are saying that Chicago figures prominently in the ending of TF3.

 

There's another new interview with Bay in the Chicago Sun-Times.
'Transformers 3' director is shooting with the aliens :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Bill Zwecker

He doesn't necessarily say that it would be called Chicago in this interview, but obiviously hints that the Chicago sets are the scene of the final battle. A few other little tidbits in that interview.

 

Not by a long shot. If Transformers 3 is going to be the last film, Bay would be smart and make the last battle be in space...with explosions.

 

No offense to anyone who lives in Chicago or who loves Chicago but it seems like a rather underwhelming choice for the last big fight of the trilogy.

With filming in Washington DC, Russia, and the stuff NASA has I was kind of hoping the big battle would be some place really iconic. Sure Chicago has some land marks but they are no way as iconic as having say the Washington Monument, Kremlin, or one of the space shuttles in the background.

I've got to agree with the people who are saying at this point that it feels like just a bigger Mission City battle rather than doing something different.

 

And of course there won't be battle in the rain in the trilogy because in Michael Bay's action sequences sunlight is a must.
