Space Runaway Ideon

The titular robot, the Ideon, is powered by a force known as the Ide. These allude to the Id, defined in psychology as the instinctive, uncontrollable part of the psyche which responds in self-protective actions. Certainly, the Ideon demonstrates abilities in tune with this definition: it only activates when under attack, and acts on its own when it is threatened (or any innocent life aboard it). However, as the battles and deaths escalate, the Ideon continues to get more powerful; this is another psychological reference, where the Id manifests itself through aggressive behaviour - the more aggressive the battles, the more powerful the Ideon becomes.
