Prime isnt bigger.
His speed is about the same speed we see Kong run at.
And are you aware of how powerful a silverback gorialla is compared to a same sized human...?

Three feet taller, several tons heavier. Kong's height and weight are estimated at 25 feet tall and around 16 tons. Prime is 28 feet tall and probably upwards of 35 tons, based on HowStuffWorks.
Fair.
1.) I was comparing intelligence. A several thousand year-old autonomous robot from space that can remotely access the internet and reconfigure itself into any appropriately-sized machine it sees is going to more capable of making calculated tactical decisions than a giant gorilla.
2.) Optimus Prime obviously isn't a human.
I'm still waiting to hear how Kong is going to deal with the energy cannon and axe. After all, three pre-WWII airplanes managed to shoot him to death.
I agree that if he gets hit with energy weapons, its trouble for Kong, but Bay Movie Primes gun isnt as good as his G1 Rifle or as fast on the repeat shot.. Kong if agile, stands a chance.
And what if Kong rips off Primes arms or Legs, or dents other components that f**k up Prime's transform...?
Prime's intelligence is not in question, but his knowledge of earth and earth creatures is, in the Bay movie..
So he's going to miss the twenty-five foot gorilla that's closing to grappling distance?
I don't recall suggesting that Prime was going to turn into a truck and run Kong over, so this isn't relevant.
There's a difference between not properly analyzing an entire planet's weapons capabilities a week after you've fallen out of the sky and being unable to sum up the threat level of a naked gorilla.
I wouldn't think Optimus would be modeled in this fight to be out of character, meaning he wouldn't be allowed to use any weapons... I always hate it when vs. threads use a character and strip them of what makes them unique. So if that's not the case, then yeah, Optimus using weapons would win him this. He used a sword in the movie, not an axe, so I'm sure if he could cut that Decepticon's neck that was made of metal and other Cybertronian materials, then a soft gorilla neck would be nothing.
Well, movie Prime hops on over to weapons pretty quickly in his major fights. On the highway, he is tackled off the bridge by a Decepticon immediately after transforming; ten seconds after hitting the ground, he takes the head off with his blade. In the city, he stops shooting after Megatron completely owns him in their brief gunfight.
