ANIME SCHOOL TRANSFORMATION GIANT ROBOT SERIES
In the early half of the series, Ideon possesed only an array of missiles and cannons as well as limited melee and defensive shields before it recieves its big guns as the series progresses. The Gun is so powerful that even the crew of both the Ideon and the Solo Ship were actually kinda terrified of its awesome destructive power.Īt first, it seems to have more of a Real Type appearance than a Super Type. Of course neither could compare to the awesome power that is the Ideon Gun, the Gun is directly powered by the Ideon's Ide energy to produce an enormous white wave of energy which destroys literally anything in its path in a forty five-degree angle, including starships, planets, and even galaxies. While adjustable, its maximum length of the sword is depicted as being quite possibly infinite. While the beam's destructive power is immense, its most peculiar quality is its length. The long Ideon Sword, beam of pure light emitted from each of Ideon's hands. While devastating, this is actually Ideon's least powerful super weapon. Black Hole Cannon, which as the name implies, creates a miniature black hole capable of massive destruction. It has an arsenal of powerful weapons that a Super Type would posses: Connected by an awesome power source called the Ide Energy, I would dare agree with sources saying that it is possibly one of the most destructive devices portrayed in all media in terms of raw destructive power. So powerful that it could destroy an entire galaxy. Since Tomino originally started his entry in the mecha genre with the typical Super Robot shows that were popular at the time, it's not suprising to find so many Super Type characteristics in Ideon.Īlthough at first sight, a rather humble robot in comparison to other mecha, Ideon is without a doubt, one of the most powerful mechas ever. Since discovering Yoshiyuki Tomino's dark classic Space Runaway Ideon, which also served as an inspiration to Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion, I've listed it as a Super Type at first but then I began to wonder about certain elements in the anime that balances both the Super Type and the Real Type. I agree it did create a market for a Mecha Genre that was different from both the old school hot blooded Super Robot and the dark, realistic Real Robot. When many Mecha fans, especially those in the English speaking part of the mainstream mecha fanbase talk about the term Hybrid Robot, they always mention Evangelion as the pioneer who started it all. I've posted this in 2 other forums last year, I thought I post it here as well with some changes, hope you enjoy reading this.
