That's true in a sense, but I always tought the Gundams were faster and more manuvable.
Then there's the zero ai, Heero has going for him, if you're not a named Transformer, I don't see you lasting much against him.

Size is about equal for the average Transformer if Humans can fit in their hands as they do mobile suits which are to scale at 16 meters tall.
Transformers don't have anything to compete with mobile suits other than their raw power which does tend to fluctuate
Nothing short of Unicron is taking a single buster rifle shot and walking away

That's pretty interesting. Unicron is one of the more powerful Transformers too. I wonder if the Macross units would be able to last against Gundam's?

Yeah you're likely correct. Those Gundams are pretty fast. Not sure if i remember correctly, but wasn't there Gundam's that could harm entire planets?
In the other series, yes, most notably the ∀ Gundam's nanomachine system "moonlight butterfly"
"At full power, the Moonlight Butterfly can cover a wide range (from Earth to Jupiter), while turning most if not all technologies into silicon dioxide (sand). Lastly, the Moonlight Butterfly can be used as a defense of sorts as it can easily defend against both beam and physical attacks."
