Alright, here's my two cents...
Gundams: Indeed, the machines of god. Gigantic humanoid robots. Swift, powerful, advanced.
Deathsaurer: The doom machine. Ultimate stompy doombringer of all stompy doombringers. Wiped out almost the entire ancient zoidian race in the CC anime, and is capable of doing so again. Aerosol apocalypse in a very high pressure can.
Who wins? Deathsaurer, hands down. I recall somebody here making the comment that deathsaurer can't sport any extra weapons. That, my friend, just isn't true. In the OJR line, the Empire Custmize set was released, giving deathsaurer manuever thrusters and a twin arm-mounted cannon, bumping deathsaurer's firepower by that of an Iron Kong MKII (minus the beam rifle, but that's a moot point)
In the NJR Line, there was said to be a contest prize LTD Deathsaurer, known as Megasaurer. It sported another piece of equipment. Although I'm not quite sure what it's called, it appears to be two more CPC intake fans, enhancing the already-almighty charged particle beam.
Even the standard-release deathsaurer models had multiple extra hardpoints (10, I believe)
Gundams may be quick, but they are also very light. Their weapons, except perhaps Endless Waltz wing zero's buster rifles, would be useless against him. Yes, deathsaurer is a slow zoid, but it is bristling with weapons with precision targeting, and though it may be difficult for deathsaurer to get a bearing with it's CPC, it compensates with it's large amount of other weapons. Here is why each gundam (that I know anything about) would lose.
Deathscythe (any variant)
Deathscythe's weaponry is all melee. Completely useless. it would be suicide to come in that close to deathsaurer, let alone get a good swing at it. Such thick armor cannot be penetrated by the beam scythe. Even if it could somehow get to the CPC intake management fan, it would be blown away with either the beam weapons mounted above it, or the missile launcher below it.
Wing Zero
He may actually have a chance, even if it is extremely thin. It would take a miracle. I imagine that it's pretty agile, but so are stormsworders, and Deathsaurer made mincemeat out of two of them moving at multimach speed. The buster rifle would do at least some damage to deathsaurer, I believe. However, zero would have to be able to stand still long enough to target it, and by doing so would make it an easy target for deathsaurer's plethora of weapons.
Heavyarms.
fried. All of it's weapons, including it's missiles, are too light. nuff said.
Sandrock
Same as deathscythe, with the exception of the small gundam uzzi.
let's face it, people, the gundams are screwed. Deathsaurer wins. If it can vapourize a column of shield liger mkIIs in one blow, then gundams stand no chance. Van was lucky. Had it been the original deathsaurer, he'd be screwed. I think prozen had some blame for ds's destruction, also. CC exaggerates, too. The blade liger is just another liger, and it's blades, however a powerful weapon, are no exception. Even combined with the energy shield, they'd be melted along with the rest of the zoid. And as for being fired out of the gravity cannon *stifles laughter*, if it didn't get blown up upon firing, it'd be crushed on impact.
Deathsaurer is almost unstoppable. Gundam pilots would blow themselves up before they go to the lengths that deathsaurer has.
According to Wiki, and I don't know how accurate this is: The only weakness in its armour is the intake for its Charged Particle Cannon. The intake is less protected than the rest of its body, and is vulnerable to attack. Destroying it will expose the Zoid's power system to a direct attack.
Now, if they can get Wing Zero into position to smash the intake, they've got a shot. The problem is, will the shield protect that part of the armor? And can they actually get a clean shot off without dying?
Outside of that? I actually watched Chaotic Century when it was on Cartoon Network. There's no way they can take the Death-Saurer unless they use the plan I just outlined.

Actually, the variant I'm using was Hiltz's version, the one that had the armoured Charged Particle Converter to replace the Intake Fan weakness (And was also considerably larger and more powerful.

As I stated above, the version being used was the one at the end of Guardian Force, the Hiltz controlled model, and it's energy shield is omnidirectional, it covers everything.
I'm thinking of adding in some from the SEEDverse, such as the main ones like the Strike Freedom and the Infinite Justice, Or even the GX and Double X from Gundam X.
But even then, I realise now that outside of the Double X, none might have the weapons needed to damage the Death Saurer... These guys need a team based strategy, after all, even though the Death Saurer is a frighteningly powerful mech, Hiltz is still only 1 person, he cannot divide his attention across so many fronts without mistakes.
