Decepticons Ravage Chicago in New Transformers: Dark of the Moon Trailer

Chicago shoulders its way into a starring role during the new Transformers: Dark of the Moon clip, which demonstrates what happens when rage-filled alien robots trample a perfectly innocent Midwestern city.

The trailer quickly advances the story beyond earlier spots that focused on a secret moon landing. Here, the accent is on earthbound insanity as director Michael Bay unspools spectacular footage of crumbling skyscrapers. Unemployed ex-hero Sam Witwicky (played once again by Shia LaBeouf) tries to halt the mayhem, but he looks to be overmatched by the Decepticons created by Industrial Light & Magic.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon, with new series newcomers Rosie Alice Huntington-Whiteley and John Malkovich, opens in 3-D on July 1.
