I used to use the one that came with the Darth Vader/Death Star since it was nicely huge:
Pretty sure I still have it somewhere, but not entirely positive where.

I had a generic war backdrop one before but roof leaked and it got damaged. Currently looking into a concrete textured foam card of 2x2 feet.
all else fails, could set up an aquarium I guess. Aquascaping without the aqua.

So... in what can only be described as pure serendipity, I happened to be looking for a certain type of background to help me with an unrelated project (three guesses, first two don't count, and neither does the third if you pay any attention to my signature and the linked thread therein), and just happened to come across a handy little resource for G1 backdrops.
This might get me a side-eye or two, but eff it. For the thread!
Per Superquad7 there:
(I added the last two links myself.)
If nothing else, I imagine if you have a good-sized monitor or TV that can display images from the innerwebs, then you can probably sit something in front of it for your figures to stand on and snap away.

I typically just scan them and toss them these days. Before I took to throwing them out quickly, I would up accumulating quite a bunch -- fortunately, a local friend was willing to take them off my hands (just had to arrange delivery).
Sometimes things work out and I open something with a relevant backdrop and there's relevant stuff that hasn't gone into storage yet, and we get fun stuff like this.
I think I do still have the packaging for this team, including this box insert -- but it's not much of a backdrop.

Oooh, I stumbled across those once some time ago and forgot about them. Thanks for reminding me!
My haul from TFCon LA this past weekend:
List:
Loose (but complete) G2 Fall of Cybertron Bruticus
Energon Scorponok, complete with only ONE of those fragile side pieces broken. Even had an Energon star attached.
G2 trooper from the Troop builder box set.
Ron Friedman's book "I killed Optimus Prime"
Box set of Stan Bush's CDs. Set was $80, newest CD was $15 but was included in the set, and I only had 2 of the albums in the set. The math worked out.
3 Series 3 bagged Kreons.
the 2 convention pins.
The gold chrome weapons from the Last Knight- Japanese campaign item.
The "burning Chainclaw", "Burning Cheetor", and "Burning Plasma Blaster" Japanese campaign items.
The (only) 2 Matrixs from the Town Commander campaign in Japan.
Refuser and Clamp Micron Boosters.

Well, it's almost St. Patrick's Day, so why not bust out the green Autobots in my collection. I've also now realized how often yellow is used as a secondary colour for them.
Different strokes I guess. That Hound still looks better to me than the current one (which isn't terrible). There are a few things I'd tweak about it though.
I always liked that version of Hound since way back when. It never did anything special, but I always found it did its job very competently. It's still got a high chance of remaining my collection's version of Hound, as I haven't been super enamoured with the retool of Siege Hound that we've got.
As for Springer, I can totally see me keeping that one, even after getting the rumoured(?) SS86 version. It's just a top tier Transformer. I could never say the same about Sandstorm as I sold that one long ago, with no regrets.
Definitely happy to keep the T30 Springer. If the SS86 one is all-new and actually good, I'll drop the Siege one.
