Even if we take away the fact that he one-shotted Starscream, the first five episodes of Season three has him:
#1- One shot the Planet Thrall.
#2- One shot that Earth Defense Platform and several ships.
#3- Single handedly wipeout up to 5 Sweeps.
#4- Severely damage the Quintesson Ship with a single blast from his Arm cannon.
It's just too much for Grimlock to take on... Megatron Grimmy could hang with fairly, but Galvatron is a whole new ballgame.

agreed...
but i've always wondered, with the amount of firepower that Galvatron posseses, why doesn't he just blow the autobot headquarters from afar?...

I'm highly uneducated on Galvatron seeing as how he was always my most hated character, but highly skilled Decepticon or not, Grimlock was a savage fighter that could dismantle most any bot. I remember when I was a kid I read a comic that explained the toughness of Grimlock's hide. It was said to be of a stronger more durable alloy then that which Unicron is composed of. Grimlock takes the cake.
I've been into TF since I was a small boy... and I'm 25 now...
Now, I stand by my earlier statebents in relation to the toons... Grimlock can't handl;e potential planet busting shots, not when all it took was an exploding jumbo jet to dismantle the Dinobots...
However, comic Grimlock was taken down by Starscream with a point blank null ray blast... while galvy eatomise starscream... it's A>B>C logic, and I hate it, but I'm not as confident in the comic argument as I am in the toon one, since I know the toons a whole lot better.

Everyone has been "taken down" by everyone at some point, by some blast or another. A>B>C logic is silly, Grimlock is one of the strongest transformers ever, even in the cartoons.
It didn't take a jumbo jet to dismantle the Autobots, and certainly don't act like such an insignificant event can be taken seriously in the series. Especially when they've endured much worse and kept fighting.
Galvatron having "planet busting" shots is just a one time only hype tactic. Just like Megatron having the ability to increase his fusion cannon power by channelling energy from a black hole.
Galvatron killed Starscream because they wanted him to make a grand entrance. If Galvatron could actually do that, he'd be doing it all the time, he doesn't.
Galvatron is just a very powerful leader, who lost almost all the main one on one fights he had in the show, and retreated for most of the battles. In the comics Grimlock is much smarter, more powerful and more vicious.
