User blog comment:Redkite/Battle relaunched: Optimus Prime (G1) vs. Luciano Bradley and the Percival./@comment-4098900-20120803224902

Optimus should take this. For starters, that Ion Canon is incredibily effective against machines such as Luciano. Optimus should be able to take out at least 4 missiles with his Ion Canon and Energon Axe and dodge the rest. That drill looks big and slow, looks like something Optimus could dodge, then cut his arm off with the Energon Axe. Him using that and the Shield will be harder to cut around but nothing Optimus can't handle. Optimus is also more intelligent and experienced.
