Many tend to agree that Mecha Frieza was never at full power but even so, I do feel as though the narrative leads us in the direction that Mecha Trunks could easily kill Frieza even if he was at full power.
For one, King Cold recognizes Trunks as the strongest in the universe for eliminating Frieza in an instant.
Chapter: 332 (DBZ 138), P6.1-2
Context: after Trunks kills Freeza
Cold: “My, you are capable, aren’t you? Marvelous, truly more than I imagined…To think that you could wipe my son Freeza out in that instant… How about it? Will you take Freeza’s place and become my child? Certainly you, the strongest in the universe, are qualified to join my clan.”
King Cold and Frieza both expected the Super Saiyan to be a danger to them. King Cold asserts that Trunks is stronger than he expected by wiping out Frieza instantly and claims that he's the strongest in the universe. Furthermore, not once does King Cold argue that Trunks won simply because Frieza was suppressed. Rather, it was only his sword that enabled him to do it. That would suggest that Trunks' performance against Frieza placed him definitively as Frieza's superior by a large margin. Goku also hints at the same thing.
Chapter: 335 (DBZ 141), P3.3-4
Goku: “For you, a Super Saiyan who instantly defeated Freeza and co., to call them monsters is really something…
Trunks “Yes…I’ve stood against them, but unfortunately…In any case, I’m up against two of them…Even fighting one-on-one, I could barely manage to escape…”
Keep in mind that this is someone that had already reached a level much higher than Frieza. For Goku to acknowledge Trunks for having defeated Frieza easily would mean that Trunks' power would be something relatively close to Goku's. Only being capable of defeating a heavily suppressed Frieza isn't something to be impressed about given that Goku could already do that back on Namek.
That's also what the narrative is focusing on. Goku is shocked that Trunks was completely powerless against the Androids given what Trunks could actually do. Goku wouldn't be so easily concerned about the Androids if it were something he could easily replicate. The Androids are also presented as a much greater threat than Frieza by rendering Trunks completely powerless. Both of these implications seem to lean on the idea that Trunks could easily defeat Frieza at full power.
Tenshinhan and Kami both state that this was always the case in the Android saga.
Chapter: 355 (DBZ 161), P8.3-4
Tenshinhan: “Th-this is the man who took down Freeza…And he was helpless before these androids… I’ll be frank…! No matter how strong Goku may be, he shouldn’t be that different from Trunks or Vegeta…”
Chapter: 356 (DBZ 162), P3.1
God: “Things turned out this way against the androids… Even for that ‘Trunks’ boy who came from the future and instantly obliterated Freeza and his father… and even for Vegeta, whose abilities are even greater than Trunks…
On its face, both are alluding to Frieza's full power. Trunks' feat serves as a benchmark to compare the Androids and for a concrete comparison to measure the two, you would naturally take the strongest power into account.
Then, there's also Trunks claiming that the attacks he targeted Goku with were ones that could kill Frieza in an instant. Goku states that he wasn't completely serious here.
Chapter: 334 (DBZ 140), P13.3-5
Context: after Trunks and Goku fight
Trunks: “As expected, the rumors were true. No, you’re even greater…This was the sword that cut even Freeza…”
Goku: “ You weren’t serious, after all.”
The way I see it is:
Mecha Frieza: 60
Trunks (vs. Goku/Frieza): 90
Trunks (Full Power): 100
What do you guys think?
