Bes Jordan, leader of the sparse military force stationed with the colonists orders that the Ideon tanks be armed with missiles, but while that's happening the cities on Solo are obliterated by the Buff Clan soldiers. This is a short respite, though, as another force is sent down soon after. Cosmo Yuki, the afro-wearing protagonist of the series, climbs aboard one of the three tanks and, when it initially forms the Ideon, fends off the first assault, repelling Gije's men. Assuming the "aliens" (Earthling colonists) have attacked Karala, the Buff Clan begins to attack. She is pursued closely by comrades sent by Gije, but they lose sight of her. Karala, the daughter of the Buff Clan's military commander flies down to the planet against orders to investigate (her commanding officer, Gije, is reluctant with her, due to her standing and the fact that he once was a soldier under her father). Suddenly, a humanoid alien civilization known as the Buff Clan comes across Solo. For six months they had diligently restored the machines but failed to get the giant tanks to move. On the planet Solo in the Andromeda Galaxy, a group of archaeologists had come across the mysterious remains of the Ideon-three large armored trucks with the ability to transform into a godlike mecha.

Space Runaway Ideon begins in 2300, far enough in the future that mankind has begun colonizing other planets.
