When Powered Down, Grimlock Can Still Stand All on His Own

One of my complaints with Robosen’s Optimus Prime was that when the robot was powered down, all of its servos would go limp and the robot would collapse like a marionette with its strings cut. It was nearly impossible to pose and display Prime on a shelf when the robot was turned off (the best you could get was a noticeably saggy truck) but in T.rex mode, Robosen’s Grimlock will straighten its legs and feet before completely powering off, allowing the robot to use its tail for balance and remain upright, without the assistance of the servos.
