Well -Kanrabat- did say this was a prime-for-all, so I'm going to go with RID Omega Prime. Try beating that.

Movie Prime. His diverse weaponry and hand-to-hand combat skill would make mincemeat out of G1 Prime. Just look at the fight between Prime and Megs in the 86 movie, Prime gets his aft handed to him. Now imagine Megs being stronger, faster, more agile, and with a veritable cornucopia of pop-out blades and guns. G1 Prime would be SCREWED.

Sadly, I have to agree with this. Movie Optimus Prime isn't afraid to get his hands dirty which would unfortunately really be a disadvantage to G1 Optimus Prime.

Even Peter Cullen took notice of this....change in character that he is portraying. Movie Prime plays dirty.

I still fail to see how being more willing to kill in a WAR constitutes as "fighting dirty".

The triumph of good over evil is pretty much a given in Transformers.

Therefore, ANY G1 character, including any of the Decepticons, including Spike, Daniel and even WHEELIE, would triumph over any creation of Michael Bay, whether it is Transformers-related or not.

The real question here is why don't they all team up together and travel back in time to stop Michael Bay from happening. >:oP

I don't think it's that easy.

Firstly, the humans need special "sabot" rounds to damage Transformers in the movieverse. Otherwise, weapons like Maverick missiles do jack **** to them (look at Scorponok, for instance). They also survive re-entry. Heck, in TLK, Optimus survived an uncontrolled re-entry to Cybertron (which had comparable gravity to that of Earth's) in robot mode like it was nothing (I know at the time this thread was created, TLK wasn't out yet but still).

Some people like to include G1 Prime's oil tanker throw feat. Yet, in the first episode, he failed to lift off a much smaller object (which wasn't even solid). Unless you people are going to tell me that he had a MASSIVE strenght upgrade, I'm going to say it's really inconsistent (more inconsistent than the other TF incarnations).

Also, G1 TFs rarely fight as violently as the movie TFs and in the instances where they do, like TF:TM (which wasn't operating under the 80s cartoon rules, so there was less stupid ****) they were still a lot less energetic than the movie fights and they were SERIOUSLY hurting each other. Prime was down for the count after a few shots to his exposed wounds. The evidence shows that Movie Prime would survive that. It would hurt him, but he would shrug it off (look at forest fight).

As for weapons, what can G1 Prime's weapons do? I saw it blowing up tanks in the cartoon. If that's its best feat, Movie TFs can survive that. As I said before, Scorponok tanked maverick missiles with no visible damage.

G1 TFs are technologically more advanced? Just because they fire lasers instead of bullets? Just because G1 guns go pew pew doesn't mean they have more destructive force than the movie TF guns. Plus, some movie TFs also use similiar weapons.
