Update: An Andersen AFB spokesman has dismissed these rumors.There have been reports that next month, May 17, 2010, Transformers 3 will begin shooting, and if a recent report turns out to be true, one of the stops on the principal photography tour will be Andersen Air Force Base in the island of Guam. An airman has tipped Comic Book Movie that he has "received an email stating that Dreamworks is looking for 20 airmen from Andersen to be extras." The airman, who goes by "supershaggy" does not specify a timeframe for the shooting of the film, but given the location of the island, it will most likely take place when the crew heads overseas to film in Africa, Moscow, and China.
