i'd say the death scenes aren't super graphic or anything, but megatron is shown a couple times bloody and battered, and Prowl's death shows his eyes almost melting and smog pouring out his mouth after he was shot

Yes but nothing super creepy since it’s suppose to be for kids. Still recommend watching the movie first before showing your child incase they are creep out by things like that

Yes, there is violence and violent people, but that is because it's a WAR with some very violent people involved. So, not DOMESTIC violence. The only time there's really domestic stuff in general is with the Autobots and humans, but they're all pretty okay to each other for the most part.

Their are bugs but they are decepticons known as the insecticons. They are a trio that all have unique bug forms instead of cars or planes. They don’t have major details other then obvious stuff that makes them look like bugs their mostly just robotic

A main character attempts to strangle another during a fight at the end of the movie. Audible gasping for breath can be heard.

Many autobots and decepticons are killed off in the movie. This was hasbros way of stopping production on the og toys that weren’t selling well anymore and so they could replace them with new toys. If you have a young child watching the 80s tv show I recommend not showing this movie especially if they are attached to characters like Optimus prime or wheel jack etc. Some deaths scene are very fun but very violent for young eyes who may love those characters

Starscream has to shoot his own foot off in order to escape being crushed to death. he is later shown with it regrown (?) which is likely an animation error.
it can still be triggering as he's shown to be in distress and does feel the pain

Optimus gets impaled with a sharp piece of debris. Not graphic though, considering he’s a robot.

A dramatic death scene occurs within a room definitely inspired by a patient room, with equipment comparable to a hospital bed and patient monitor, a "doctor" giving a "prognosis," and grieving friends beside the "patient." Other than that, the scene bears very little resemblance to an actual hospital.

A main character kills themself on purpose to access knowledge that they only have access to when they're dead. They're revived not long after.

There's a scene where hot rod and kup are lost underwater, and have to fight robotic sea creatures to escape. They aren't depicted as drowning or otherwise suffering under the water, they're robots.

A shuttle presumably crashes close to the beginning of the movie, as it is abandoned by its crew mid-flight after being fatally damaged. However, the presumed crash is entirely offscreen, causing no injuries, damage, or noise. After the shot cuts away, it's like it never existed to begin with.
