You can't change the transmission fluid, it is a sealed container...at least the automatic one. If you haven't bled your brakes in over a year, I would do that(replace the brake fluid). Also I think 100k is how much the long life coolant lasts, so it's time to flush it out. Also check the belts, I dunno when the Timing Belt is replaced on these engines, but you might want to replace the accessory belt. And it's a good time to replace your spark plugs and maybe air filters(depends on when was the last time you changed those.). That's about it.

Obviously check your brake pads and tires for wear, and you should be good. Unless you need your timing belt replaced which requires the water pump to be replaced as well.

The transmission fluid is serviceable, but not by the owner.. it has to be changed at a dealer who has the specific tools to do it. But 100k is the time to replace that fluid. I would also replace the spark plugs, accessory belt, differential fluid, brake fluid, engine oil change, engine air filter, and cabin air filter. If the water pump isnt leaking, dont change it.
