The design and the original sculpt of the threezeroX Ideon was done by famous Japanese figure sculptor Takayuki Takeya. Based on the 1980s classic anime Space Runaway Ideon, directed by Yoshiyuki Tomino, the creator of Mobile Suit Gundam. Takeya redesigned the protagonist's robot, emphasizing the concept of the robot as an ancient relic of the mysterious "6th Civilization," a long-time extinct extraterrestrial being. To emphasize that Ideon is a created by a technology far different from that of humans, Takeya added delicate geometric patterns on the surface which are alien to human eyes and create an ambiguity regarding whether they have any functional meaning or are only decoration. As for the whole form, while keeping the distinctive elements of the original anime version Ideon, Takeya exaggerated it to look more like a creation of an alien culture. Even with these highly creative redesigns, once the iconic red and white colors were applied, ThreezeroX Takayuki Takeya Ideon became instantly recognizable as the classic anime robot.
