Anyone familiar with the Transformers will know that Optimus and Megatron, in almost every sense of the word, are equals. Anything one character does, the other can scale too. As both are the strongest of their faction, they would also logically scale above character like Starscream, Bumblebee, etc.
At the beginning of the series, we see both a good strength and combat speed feat when Megatron hurls a large (larger than Megatron himself) chunk of Dark Energon at supersonic speed so that it affects the entirety of Cybertron and raises a planet of the undead. In one of the last episodes of the first season, Megatron has the feat of shattering Unicron’s avatar, in a single strike. These things are at least the size of a mountain, so Megatron being able to shatter one in a single strike is impressive.
Finally, we see Megatron one shot Ultra Magnus, who scales higher than other bots such as Soundwave, Starscream and Knockout that tanked point blank city level explosions such as the Omega Lock explosion and Knockout, as well as Starscream who tanked the destruction of the Lens, which you can see below. Note that Megatrons Upgraded body should scale above all of this, even if only a little.
We know Optimus Prime has tanked many impressive attacks, such as tanking a heat beam which was digging its way down into an unmineable Energon deposit in the arctic. He then, moments after, tanks the explosion of destroying the Lens, which was calced at mountain level. Prime has two other city-mountain level durability feats, but this should suffice. We see Megatron being able to harm Optimus with his strikes throughout their fights, thus his AP scales.
Speed wise, Megatron is capable of MFTL travel speed via a specialized space drive, however worthless in combat , especially seeing as he‘s only used it once in order to get to Cybertron. Besides that, he can dodge Autobot blasters, which have been shown to be extremely fast. In this series of feats, Prime gets an attack blocked by Megatron before then slicing down on the latter’s arm too quick for him to react.He then quickly charges at the remaining Decepticons while blocking their blasts, dodges a missile from Starscream, then destroys the Omega Lock. Additionally, this fight between Optimus and Megatron shows good combat speed. The only noteworthy durability game feat is Optimus and Megatrons beam clash which results in sending the Dark Spark into space. A strength feat includes Both Megatron and Optimus able to temporarily resist the gravitational pull from an unstable space bridge. This space bridge was ripping apart the arc
One of the best durability feats is Megatron surviving the explosion of the Space Bridge, at the epicenter mind you, which is ~12,300 meters (Note: Mt. Everest is 8,848 meters), while the initial explosion was larger than the bridge itself, and the shockwave of the blast also spreads out far wider. Yes, Megatron was put into a coma, however this explosion is so far above anything else seen in the continuity that even surviving it is extremely impressive. Also note that his outer body didn’t suffer all too much damage comparatively. Many attribute his survival to Dark Energon, however this doesn’t affect a Cybertronian’s natural durability, so his outer body being relatively unharmed is still valid, this was also Megatrons first body, not his newer one.
All this should cover and conclude that Optimus and Megatron should be much more powerful in terms of raw strength, durability, and AP. However, the biggest lacking feature here is speed. At best and highballing these guys are very low Hypersonic, while both Gojo and Sukuna are at MHS. However, in terms of just raw dog fist to fist action, Optimus and Megatron would come out on top, but we still have more to cover.
