I have to admit that my knowledge of Generation 1 is dusty at best (I was born in the mid-90s), so my vote won't be that fleshy, especially in regards to Grimlock. I do agree that Grimlock is the stronger and more durable of the two. Iron Man hasn't really show any feats in regards to strength, and he had a history of getting his ass kicked by stronger and bulkier opponents like the Mongler and (fake) Mandarin. Grimlock's metallic mass and superior mettalurgy gives him an edge when things drag too long. As such, the Transformer would decimate Iron Man the moment it gets his hands (or teeth) on Tony. But that's if he ever gets the chance. You see, though Grim takes the edge in strength, melee, and durability, Iron Man has his own advantages that may counter these.

First, is that Iron Man is fast and can fly. Veronica may not be able to equalize Grimlock's brutality at close range, it will however take a huge chunk out of the transformer. And if it does get destroyed, Tony can just fly to get away. And this is where Tony gets his haymaker punch. Grim is nowhere near as powerful at long range as Iron Man. His puny r ocket launcher who lacks any guiding capabilities is a pea shooter which is perfectly useless when Tony is up in the sky. Heck, Iven doubt Grimlock can get near Iron Man once he's up in the sky (don't forget he can go supersonic). While Iron Man can just bombard Grimlock with everything from tank missiles to laser beams, which is good enough to take out big ships and enemies  (and don't forget about Veronica). Then, there's also the fact that Tony's got the best AI sidekick that is a bad news against anything with "cyber" in it, because even in alien tech it can still be dangerous. And let's not forget, we're talking about Tony Stark here. This guy's the almost perfect tech genius, and if his brain can process and deduce alien technology from Asgard to Chitauri, cybertronian won't be a problem as well.
