Epps alerted a bunch of his former teammates to the fact he was heading for Decepticon-occupied Chicago. Hooch and Marc L waited with their SUV until Epps and Sam Witwicky reached them, and joined the small convoy. When they arrived on the outskirts of Chicago and saw the devastation caused by the Decepticons, the group hesitated. Moments later they were attacked by a Decepticon fighter, only for the newly-arrived Autobots to shoot it down. While Sam and Bumblebee took the fighter, Epps's team headed into the city with the Autobots. They encountered Sam and Bumblebee again after the pair rescued Sam's girlfriend Carly, and the team covered Epps and the two civilians as they communicated over a downed military drone. While the others sorted out the weapons, Hooch mounted a nearby fire escape and noted that they needed to get higher to get a clear shot. Especially as they only had the one rocket.

With the Autobots' help, Epps and his men entered a skyscraper so they could attempt to get a shot off at the control Pillar on a downtown building. Hooch loaded the rocket launcher Eddie was ready to use, but the two of them looked down to see that the Decepticons had begun shooting at the skyscraper they were in, making it unstable. After a Decepticon jumped into the building, Eddie threw a chair out as a distraction, and they all jumped out of other side of the building and slid down the windows. They managed to get to a lower floor, but were still trapped as the Driller attacked the building. After the top half of the building toppled over, Hooch helped Carly onto the next building.

As they ran through Chicago, Sam and Carly became separated from the rest of the team. Epps's team ducked into a ruined church. They went out to find Sam and Carly, only to discover that the two civilians had found Colonel Lennox. Crossing a bridge so they could get a better shot, they ran into Shockwave and fired at him from the relative safety of a building until Optimus Prime arrived to finish the Decepticon off. As Optimus fought Sentinel Prime, Hooch took the opportunity to use the rocket launcher on Sentinel. Dark of the Moon
