Depends if were talking about TV or comics. As I recall, the comic Roddy spent most of his time wailing about how the Matrix was corrupted, and how everything seemend hopeless.
I also recall him getting beaten up by just about everyone he ever got in a fight with, and "Time Wars" rather showed that of the two only Oppy could go toe to toe with Galvatron at his most upset.

Well, ya gotta remember Rodimus was nothing more than a bigger, stronger Hot Rod. He was quite young and inexperienced. Optimus is probably ancient, better skilled and wiser. Rodimus didn't have a clue what to do most of the time. He did remember to yell "Autobots Roll Out" most of the time though

Ahh, but Galvatron had already boosted his strength several issues earlier.
And lets assume that Rodders and Op are the same strength. Megs was Ops strength (slightly weaker actually) but Galvatron is stronger.
But...Galvy didn't fight normal Optimus. He fought POWERMASTER Optimus (now with free packet of Jif bathroom cleaner)!
And Roddy has two advantages over Op. He can eat stuff. And he can take Spike and Family out for road trips in true luxury. And then drop them off the cliff.
btw, I remember an ep. where Op fired the canon from his trailer, well, the trailer was destroyed. Prime didn't even flinch and then ran right into the battle itself. ?

I'm sure he was just bottling it up. The moment he got back to the ark, he broke-down, and started talking of lost love, and how someone so young can have their life cut short. And Wheeljack quielty built him another trailer, then brainwashed him into forgetting the destruction of the other one, so that once again. he could become the brave, valient, heroic, prattling moraliser that everyone loved and respected, and maybe got just the teensiest bit bored with.
