Grim

Optimus Prime. He's always held back against him in the cartoons, not sure about comics.

In the comics, Grimlock isn't a dummy like the cartoon. He's a brutal, savage, super smart guy who just can't talk right because his circuits were screwed with. Optimus has had to put him in his place several times and the Prime always wins.

Based on totality of feats, maybe Grimlock. Dude was a beast (pun not intended). But it's Prime. We all know how it would go down in a comic.

Pretty much all comic book versions of Prime are more powerful then Grimlock. The combined Dinobots couldn't even handle a badly damaged Megatron.

Earthforce is an exception. Grimlock fought Power Master Prime to a draw, and handled Shockwave a lot easier then in mainstream comics. Too bad Earthforce is not considered canon.

As far as the toon goes, Dinobots beast modes were indestructible. The only one who beat them in dino mode is Wheeljack, who's shoulder mounted gun was kind of a plot device in that it depowers its target.

Prime should lose, unless he could goad Grimlock into assuming robot mode, or trap him somehow.

And while we're doing all versions:

Fall of Cybertron Grimlock wrecks Prime.
