Transformers in Chicago

A long time ago, and far from Chicago, the planet of Cybertron, was home to a war between the "Autobots" and the Decepticons over control of a talisman called "Allspark." In an attempt to protect "Allspark" from falling into the hands Megatron, leader of the Decepticons; Optimus Prime (leader of the Autobots) hid it here on earth.

From what I can gather the movie has something to do with all these giant transforming robots waging some kind of explosive battle here on Earth, while every male in the audience focused on Megan Fox.

Well, it appears that the battle has come to the "Chicago Loop."

This past weekend, most of the streets of heart of Chicago's financial district had been taken-over by these robots, or at least by DreamWorks SKG. Streets were littered with what looked like massive pieces of falling debris, massive gapping holes, burnt abandoned cars, in other-words- it looked more like the West-Side of Chicago.

In answer to your question; as an Insurance Agent specializing in Car Insurance; Acts of War are not covered under your Auto Insurance policy - while never tested court, I assume that includes war brought to Earth from an other planet.

I'm not sure what plot turns were used to bring the war to the streets of Chicago, but I am sure that the Chicago's budget will benefit from the large checks the movie studio is witting. In fact, I think Mayor Daley would be well advised to steal this "Allspark" Talisman, keep it hidden forcing the battle to continue along with the seven figure checks from DreamWorks.
