Well, Metroplex is "enviormental" when posing him in robot mode. Smooth surfaces like coffee tables make his feet slide, resulting in his hips losing position under his heavy weight. You are stuck to asymmetrical poses to hold him in action poses. On a sticky surface(rug, rubber, or leather etc.) he can be posed in many action poses and symmetrical action poses are much better. He can't lean forward too much, again because he's a heavy beast!

Well, I have mine on a smooth metal shelf, and I usually don't have much problem getting him into a pose I want. Obviously you are right that certain poses will be an issue, and it is best to not have him leaning back or forward too far. But for a long time pose, as long as his feet are semi-flat and his center of gravity isn't too far off from between them, he seems to hold up pretty well!

Man, though, it was a pain in the arse posing him for that one photo of him I have with one leg in the air, ha ha.

But overall, he is quite well poseable for such a behemoth, as you yourself seem to be enjoying discovering.
