No, but Megatron is extremely abusive towards Starscream (both physically and psychologically), to the point that Starscream in season 3 resembles an abused spouse

It's not very prominent, but Starscream, abused by Megatron, does turn to hitting Knock Out and Predaking. It doesn't go anywhere, especially with Predaking, but it can absolutely be read as the start of something abusive with Knock Out, most obviously in the episode Thirst. Starts at the very end of S2 into S3.

One episode has two of the main characters chased after a Decepticon in what is clearly a homage to the Predator movies.

Predaking’s brethren in shockwave’s lab were killed. They weren’t fully developed but I’d say given number of them, the fact that they are an extinct group, and the weight of their demise within the episode counts as an overall death of dragons.

I'm not fully certain it qualifies, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Ratchet drugs himself with synth-en, Megatron and Starscream drug both themselves and multiple corpses with Dark Energon, and in S3 it's revealed that Knock Out has been testing new synth-en formulas on an alive prisoner. Nobody is drugged into unconsciousness though, even if Ratchet does pass out after the first synth-en dose.

A Decepticon scratches himself to provide Energon for a machine, but it's very brief and not at all graphic - it's easy to miss what exactly he's doing.

No, but Knock Out and Starscream are extremely queer-coded villains. Starscream disgustedly tells Knock Out that he’s “one of THOSE types” (meaning a non-flier, but the implication is not lost), and multiple characters call Starscream a “stiletto-heeled freak”

A Decepticon refers to a gay-coded character as "one of those"... because he transformers into a car instead of a plane. The allegory seems pretty blatant.
