Yeah, just about any mastermind. Bots/Traps if you want to do it on practically SOs.
If you want to throw tons of money at something, I'd still go with Bots/Traps, but an Illusion/Radiation controller will also do very well.
Where to now?

As soon as we get Radiation Emission or Cold Domination Masterminds, I'm gonna go to town on Giant Monsters.
You know, I keep seeing people saying how MM are great for hunting GMs, but frankly my thugs/time can't ever get them to stand still. I think I have the 'umph' to take one down, but I keep trying for scrapyard whenever I see the message about him, but all he does is just run away. I can't seem to make him stand still long enough to lay down some dps on him.
I've not yet done it myself, but from what I understand 'tankerminds' need Provoke to reach their full potential as GM killers.

Scrapyard is one of the more difficult GMs to solo because 1) he likes to run, 2) he spawns near drones and 3) he can desummon automatically.

Yeh.. my necro/dark mm can solo most... but he stays elusive. I have yet to try him since I got my Melee hybrid incl taunt aura though. I will do that as soon as it hits T4. (one rare to go)

I kill GM's all the time on my ill/rad controller perma phantom army = indestructible tanky goodness with some nice dps as well with rad debuffs. -regen from lingering radiation for good measure. If you add in incarnate stuff like a core lore and hybrid assault its a breeze.

Time Manipulation can probably do it with a lot of recharge in order to keep Time Crawl and Time Stop stacked.
Power Boost or Power Build Up would be nice as well.
Maybe on a Mastermind, but a Defender would get the most benefit of the Time Manipulation powers (plus they can get Power Build Up)
As far as secondary goes: Sonic, Fire, or believe it or not, after i24's ranged power set changes...Electric.

*Def Power Build UP has greater enhancement value then MM version

Don't forget, the Assault Bot blasts have -Regen.

My fire/rad corrupter can solo AVs and GMs very well so I put in a vote for that. : )

This is true although you may need some lucks and blues. With IOs it gets much easier. With IOs and fully incarnate it's pretty simple. |

Illusion/Cold controller. This is not a GM, but a +4 AV for a demonstration. I went through and did all the Preatorian AVs at +4, but lost all the videos but this one 
GM's aren't much harder, in fact, can be considered easier.
Your character does not have capped defense. Depending on your AT the cap is between 175% - 225%. Your defense is not teal in the combat window, it can go higher. STOP SAYING IT IS CAPPED! The correct term is Soft Cap.
I enjoy playing in Mids. I specialize in Melee Characters, other AT's usually bore me.
Before you rush out and make a Bots/Traps, also try Bots/Dark which is just as amazing if not more so in some situations.
But yes Bots/Traps is GODLIKE that can pull off WICKED SICK HAT TRICKS... sorry been playing too much of another game..
Whining about everything since 2006.
Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

+1 on Bots/Dark, I soloed Adamastor, Kraken, Babbage, Paladin and a Rikti Pylon on him -- all before Incarnates. Jurassik I got down to 50% HP but couldn't get much beyond that, he ran/jumped around too much to keep DPS on him. And like I said before, Ghost of Scrapyard is tough for several reasons (I think I tried once, gave up pretty quickly).

If you have deep pockets and you're feeling flashy, a Fire/Mental Blaster can be a pretty awesome monster killer.

Certainly not the fastest at it, though.
My Illusion/Dark 'troller has been soloing AVs/GMs since level 38. I started with the Kraken and worked my way up. Of course, there are a few AVs that I had to drop back to EBs because of their horrid self-heals.
7+ year vet with too many alts to list...
