He'd beat the holy terror out of Megs and scare everyone else straight. Prime wins because he has to. To stop the entire Decepticon army all he has to do is drop Megs. He's the underdog who wins by shear courage and willpower.

In quite a few of the continuities he seems distracted by the plights of others during battle or unwilling to cause permanent damage. That is a major handicap right there.
In the new movie, however? He was getting completely creamed.

Well the cartoons were very inconsistant in Atlantis Arise Megatron fought Grimlock to a stand still. In Triple Takeover Megatron took on Starscream,Astrotrain,Blitzwing and Devastator and triumphed over all of them. In Heavy Metel War Dinobots got all their asses handed to them by Devastator all at once. And in the majority of the fights between Megatron and Prime in the Cartoon Prime managed to win most of them yet he was never able to defeat Devastator yet Megatron could go figure. Technically speaking Megatron should be the more powerfull fighter. Though only slightly.Thanatos Prime wrote:ZeroZero wrote:Didn't Optimus hold his own against all the Dinobots in some G1 episode?

Yes, but could Optimus hold his own against all the Seekers? Megs can, however Megs knows the seekers weaknesses as Optimus knows the dinobots weaknesses.
In terms of sheer brawn and strength, Megs is probably stronger. But in terms of overall fighting ability, Optimus is probably slightly better.
Just my opinion...

Well if you remember correctly at the end of Triple Take over Megatron, Starscream,Astrotrain,Blitzwing and Devastator were all battleing it out in the Football Stadium and even though most of the battle was off screen at the end it shows Megatron standing victoriously over the rest of the Decepticons including Devastator which leads one to believe that it was Megatron whom defeated them all including Devastator.Predaprince wrote:Galaxion wrote:Well the cartoons were very inconsistant in Atlantis Arise Megatron fought Grimlock to a stand still.

WTF are you talking about?
Where in "Triple Takeover" did Megatron fight Devastator?
Also, "City of Steel" shows Prime dismembering Devastator in one blast of his cannon.
