Convoy: Knocked out after falling off a mountain side which with his size is the equvialent of falling off the roof of a house. Deus ex: Ass stomped by both Knockout and Breakdown. Bumbleception (can't remember the episode name but admit it it's a cooler name): Poisoned. Partners: Immobilized. Now he's has no memory of his fighting skills and he's with the con's whos track record may/may not suck more then the Stormtroopers. Also does that even count when Bumblebee was shot? And I'm not saying not have Megatron NOT be all powerful but when he shrugs off Unicron attempt to control his mind like it was nothing that feels to overpowered.
You misunderstand something about Optimus, at heart he's a pacifist, Ratchet even points out in episode 26 that before he became prime, when he was just Orion Pax in the prime universe, he was a guy who supported equality for all, an end to corruption and was opposed to violence, heck if he was human we'd probably lump him in with the Occupy wall street protesters and other peaceniks.
Its not that he sucks at fighting, its that he doesn't enjoy fighting. Megatron on the other hand was not only a gladiator, he's a megalomaniac and extremely violent, he revels in war and destruction.
That being said in a fair fight, Optimus beat him, it was only the arrival of dark energon that turned the tide in favor of Megatron.
As for Megatron being able to shrug off Unicron's control, he actually didn't Unicron got control of him in the end, however it was right before Optimus used the Matrix.
