The Ideon: A Contact

Synopsis

In their quest for knowledge across the universe, humanity uncovers three large trucks and a colossal spaceship from an extinct alien civilization on the planet Solo. While excavating, the humanoid Buff Clan—an alien race—arrives at Solo, and Karala Ajiba, daughter of the Buff Clan's military commander, descends to the planet against orders. Searching for Karala, the Buff Clan attacks and destroys the Earth settlement to retrieve her. Desperate to defend themselves, Earthlings Cosmo Yuuki, Kasha Imhof, and Bes Jordan board the trucks, which combine to form the mighty giant robot Ideon. As they retaliate against their enemies, the remaining survivors board the Solo Ship and escape, while the Buff Clan relentlessly pursues the Ideon and the mysterious power source it holds.
