Not only that, YOU USED GUNDAM MARKER!
Horridly applied marker at that.
Also, I recognize that Transformers: Prime score anywhere, 0:27.
Ah...I miss TFP. I wish Netflix would make a Transformers series for adults.
Or Studio Trigger.
And it sucked.
I don't see any mature themes being tackled. Any kid can watch that.
So no, we haven't yet.
If it's mature themes you want, Beast Machines was all in to that stuff, tackling such topics as "harmony vs. extremism", "the needs of one vs. the needs of many", "conflict and inequality in a free society", "free will vs. totalitarianism", "religious faith in a higher power", and more.
I was thinking more on the side of what Logan was, as a story that could not be told to kids in any way.
I wasn't referring to the violence. Good action can occur with or without blood.
I'm referring to the themes that only an R film can tackle. Logan had issues of human rights, mental illness and some truly horrifying things that probably couldn't be done justice in a PG-13 film.
I'm talking about the kind of stuff we see in IDW, not just a simple gore fest.
(On a side not, the inclusion of Chromedome and Rewind would probably cause an IDW adaptation to go full R, because they're a bunch of homophobes.)
