Although the filming of "Transformers 3" will cause Chicagoans big headaches by shutting down half of Michigan Ave. this weekend, it also offers the city a cool view of what it would look like if giant robots came tearing through our streets. Keep an eye on the filming in person, or check it out via NBC's live stream.
