>>5776217greebles is a pretty subjective term really, a lot of people call even basic detailing greebles.
It ranges from "anything that isn't smooth boxes like muh g1 cartoon is greebles!" to stuff like MMC Cyclonus' chest or the Star Destroyer from Star Wars
>A greeble or nurnie is a fine detailing added to the surface of a larger object that makes it appear more complex, and therefore more visually interesting. It usually gives the audience an impression of increased scale.I think the key aspect of that definition is giving a sense of scale. Adding tons of smaller details works for huge objects, but for most transformers who are around 20ft and below its a mess and is just the designer taking one to many passes.
I don't mind detailing, especially at joints or places were armour meats, but random lines everywhere looks messy,
