Oh man, 80's tech is my jam! Especially the hold Transformers movie! I got a whole collection of backgrounds from it that I love.
Look at all the needless detail and complexity! Everything has to have lines, and divots, and screens and tubes and everything! It's still all one solid color though, and a consistent pallet! There's bits sticking out everywhere, it's just so satisfying to let your eyes just follow the lines.
Especially when they add little glowing parts to it. Just like old 90's anime, it has that phosphorescent glow to it that I just don't see these days? It looks so fuzzy and bright... It's just so satisfying that these backgrounds are so complex? They invoke such a time capsule of style to them that I'd one day love to try and capture.
I could go on and on and on about this. There are some other works that do this, things like Gundam and such, but it's just... I get this so consistently from old Transformers works that I attribute it almost entirely to them. I love this background work so much, probably one of my fav art styles for sure. Don't think it has a name, but I'll amass reference images nonetheless.
