Fiction[]
Dark of the Moon film[]
Upon arriving at Chicago with the Space bridge Pillars, Dylan explained to Carly Spencer the Decepticons' plan about bringing Cybertron to Earth's atmosphere, Megatron then ordered all of them to leave, and they obliged. After exiting the building and the local authorities made their move, Sentinel Prime ordered them to seal off the city. Upon securing the city of Chicago, 35 East Wacker served as Sentinel Prime and Megatron's makeshift command center. The building's cupolas were used to house eight of the space bridge Pillars. Later Carly observed Megatron and Sentinel through a telescope. After surviving the firing that killed all of his bodyguards on his penthouse at Trump Tower, Dylan approached the building to inform that the Autobots are still alive, Megatron was at the top of the building when he received the information and ordered the Decepticons to find them. Sam Witwicky, Carly and Epps used a mini-drone dispatched by the United States military to contact the US government and told everything about their plans, including that the tower where the pillars are located belongs to the company of the man who is the human mastermind behind all this. Sam's group attempted to shoot down the control pillar from another skyscraper, but their efforts were thwarted by Shockwave and his pet. After the failed attempt at taking the control Pillar down, Sentinel ordered the Decepticons all over the world to launch the Pillars. When Optimus Prime made his dramatic entrance killing the surrounding Decepticons, he used Shockwave's arm cannon to blast the control Pillar down, deactivating the bridge. At Optimus's orders to face him one-on-one, Sentinel used his Primax Blade to descend from the building, defacing it. After the battle's conclusion, 35 East Wacker was ceased from being Hotchkiss Gould Investment's properties. Dark of the Moon
