looking for an obscure anime! please help!

Hello, I've been looking for more than a decade for this obscure anime movie. I'll list what I remember of it:

- The theme is post-apocalyptic. The genre is apparently action scifi with big robots and huge explosions.
- The characters of FFVII reminded me of this film. Motorbikes and high-tech weapons are heavily featured in this anime.
- The plot revolves around finding the ultimate weapon.
- The ending is a bit too strange. Everyone dies as soon as they reach the weapon (which is signified with a red button in a room with red ambient light)
- When the characters die, they are shown naked in spheres in space, supposedly referencing the Buddhist reincarnation belief. And then a voice-over plays, IIRC a young girl speaks to her mother and asks her why did they die and where do they end up (or something along those lines).

The dub was English, and the drawing style was probably late eighties/early nineties.. Any ideas? Please help me with the title of this anime!

Off the top of my head.... "Akira" but probably not.

Akira's on YouTube

it's probably space runaway ideon or mega zone 23.

Thanks to everyone who posted.. I'm afraid nothing matches my criteria.. And the robots I mentioned were just autonomous robots fighting the heroes (or protagonists if you will).. FFVII was probably the closest thing I've seen (or rather played) resembling that anime.
The fact it was English-dubbed should have made my search easier but I've been looking for this one for years :/

that definitely sounds like ~space runaway ideon~ the ending description gave it away bigtime
