Well, I never read any of the Big Guy and Rusty comics, but it seems to me from what I saw in the commercial, his armament would barely put a scratch on Big O, whereas one solid grab and press from O would shatter the Big Guy’s armor like a shell and liquify poor Dwayne. Plus, the whole point of Big Guy and Rusty was that the BGY-11 was outdated, whereas Big O is top of the line. He’s able to deflect high powered lasers with his shielded arms, which I’m pretty sure would protect him from artillery.
Plus, I’m pretty sure size wise, Big O could probably just step on Big Guy.
I might note one thing, in Big Guy’s favor…he can fly. That, and the fact that he’s quite a bit smaller than Big O might allow him to dodge Big O’s attacks more easily, and even flank him. Or get behind him.
To paraphrase Firefly…“How bout the back of his neck? Is the back of his neck armored?”

I’ve never heard of Big Guy and Rusty until this thread, but I’m going to have to say Big O has got a bunch of advantages. Sure, Big Guy can fly (per, Ranchoth) but Big O has dealt with flying and acrobatic opponents before and kicked their sorry asses.
First, a big advantage is Roger Smith. He’s super cool, and cocky in a fun sort of way. He’s pretty good with strategy and a top-notch professional. He’s not a goody-two-shoes; he ain’t afraid to cause a lot of damage, destruction, and mayhem.
Second, Big O has a solid support system behind him. His mechanical caretaker is the coolest butler I’ve ever seen. A loyal old man, he drive a motorcycle with built-in heavy artillery AND weilds a mean machine gun when need be. The man can repair anything that’s wrong with Big O. And then there’s Dorothy, the sexiest and coolest emotionless android ever (it’s the red hair, frankly).
Third, Big O has got the weaponry and abilities to win any battle. Flying opponents? Big O’s got rocket-guided hip chains to snare an opponent or get a jump on one (see the Big Duo and Big Fau battles). Big O’s got an arsenal that would make any fanboy wet himself. Tri-barrel machine guns in his shoulders. Six missile pods in his abdomen (for a total 18 missiles). A rotating gatling gun hidden in each wrist. He’s got long range lasers built into his eyes. He’s a chromebuster cannon built into his helmet that took out a huge sea monster AND a falling satellite. His pile-driver arms will flatten and destroy anything in their way, and his forearms are built of a very heavy, thick, and protective armor. Not to mention, there’s the Big O Final Stage that wiped out half of Paradigm City in just one freakin’ shot.
Big O’s made of some stern stuff. The only megadeuses that have damaged him have been other Bigs. My money’s going on Big O.
