Following our coverage of the Transformers Rise Of The Beasts Statues World Tour, now we have images of the set up at Chicago, USA.
After the presentation of the ROTB statues at SXSW, Texas in the US, Singapore, Brazil, Australia, Spain, Germany, and Las Vegas, now the statues have landed in a new city in the US: Chicago, Illinois.
The statues will be on exhibit for all public starting today May 18th until May 23rd at the main entrance of Navy Pier. A very easy to access location. Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal were on display plus the new Mirage statue which was revealed in Las Vegas.
The images come thanks to 2005 Boards members Rookbartley (who shared images of the statues assembly), Facebook users Boomer Wmee and Pumpkin & Charlie.
See all the images after the jump including videos of the statues via Fox 32 Chicago and eggdude142 on YouTube (Mirage can be seen here). Stay tuned with this space for more updates! Next location will be in Mexico this May 24th!

What is that mystery box on the ground between Optimus Prime's feet? Is that the trailer?

Fuck this was so cool to see in person. I didn't want to leave! They're both so detailed and large. Even friends and family who I texted pics afterwards admitted that they looked super impressive and cool. I had to restrain myself from running up and stealing pieces lol.

I'm guessing once the tour is complete they'll find their way to either Universal Studios or some other permanent location that's already agreed upon. Maybe that dude in Georgetown can hold on to them.

No statues in Canada though…
Siberian Prime
I thought it's a Transit sightning…

This just reminds me that we don't have enough bus-formers. I'd love a Double Decker Bus bot.
