... Sort of?
In one late episode, Megatron and Starscream's decapitated head (it makes sense in context) are arguing in the vacuum of space while the credits play.

There are a few episodes dedicated to preventing characters from abusing mods, which are analogous to drugs (turbo-boosters to go faster, armor plating). The villain Lockdown is obsessed with them.

Lockdown steals other transformers' body parts, Blitzwing tears off Ratchet's arm to get Sari's key, and the way the Headmaster units work can be best described as "humorous decapitation". No gore and not at all graphic.

one could argue that all transformers deaths are lgbtq+ as they, throughout the franchise are genderless, panromantic asexual beings, but in TFA there are no openly queer characters so it's not a 'bury your gays' situation

Obviously there's no actual sexual assault because it's a kid's show, but the episode "Black Friday" has a torture scene involving a female character that feels reminiscent of it.

Bulkhead, one of the Transformers, often bumps into things and breaks them. As he is a car himself, and one of the stronger characters, he doesn't usually have any pain in response.

The character Starscream occasionally crashes while in plane mode, but usually picks himself back up. Other Decepticons who have plane modes can also find themselves falling to the ground.
