Remember though that in the first transformers movie, a single Decepticon was able to destroy an entire army base and the humans were powerless to even hurt it. Let's not kid ourselves, the only reason the marines were even doing damage to the Decepticons was because the Transformers were backing them up.

Hmm... then it would be tricky. The Zords are more powerful definitely, but the smaller and more numerous Transformers should prove pretty hard to hit.
It's like pitting two T-rex's against two dozen raptors.
I guess in the end it depends if the Zord's shields can hold up to the Transformer's weapons. If the laser guns of the transformers can eventually hurt the Zords then I don't see how the Zords can beat so many transformers hitting them. But if they can't be harmed well, they just wade through the transformers and break each one they see.
The army base was pre Sabot round malarkey.
After that any toddler with a machine gun could pwn the Bayformers, despite the Dark of the Moon posse having carbon based unit energy weapons, in addition to Prime/Megatron.
I've not seen Power rangers, but I'd be surprised if Pink Power ranger and co couldn't do it, especially if they have access to said guns/ammo.
But yeah if it were G1, the stompage would be totally reversed in almost 100% certain terms..
Either Omega, Metroplex, Fortress Maximus (hell even Prime or Megatron) would solo.
