The G1 Marvel Comics got the power levels right:

G1 Megatron, Shockwave, and Galvatron are three most powerful Decepticons. They are also the coolest.
Wow... I don't know if I ever realized what a downgrade G1 Galvatron is from G1 Megatron.
He loses half a point of strength -- if anything, I thought he was supposed to be
stronger.
He loses an entire point and a half of intelligence! Though the bio doesn't mention it, I suppose one could chalk this up to his insanity?
Speed went way the hell up, five points! So that's something.
Up two points to maximum endurance, that's pretty good. I suppose that might help balance out the docked strength.
He actually went down a rank! One entire point! I guess positioning him as a "City Commander," it makes some sense that he'd be equal to Shockwave there. Or maybe this is counting when he is first made, and he got a new boss for a bit there. In other words, Unicron was the new 10, so everyone else would go down a point as a result. XD
Courage is the same. Go figure.
I'm surprised he loses a point in firepower! Guess if he's not pulling from black holes anymore, it makes sense.
And he went up a point in skill! Maybe that's because he doesn't need someone else to aim him in altmode any more? XD
