That he walks around dragging his tail like a dumb lizard t. rex that you see in a bad 1950's movie, instead of the anatomically correct avian hot blooded predator that we know it to be.
Since the early ninties, Grimlocks have been portrayed with design cues from his G1, but with a more accurate dinosaur mode. G2 comics, and IDW being the two best.
Both are very roboty and boxy, but are still far more accurate. G2's comic being the best example, since that's little more than taking the original design and lifting the tail off the ground, and making his head bigger.
There's absolutely no reason that MP Grimlock shouldn't have been updated like that. Not in my book, at least.

I am very anal when it comes to dinosaurs.

EDIT: And I forgot about Animated Grimlock! There's another G1 based Grimmy that (While increadibly cartoonish) manages to update the design by changing his posture.
