Neon Genesis Evangelion Eva Units

Probably a design thing. As these eva's were meant to be used in third impact, it'd be good not to restrain them... precisely why they have such weird heads, I don't know. Additionally they could glide, and the restraints would have weighed them down.

But this is pretty much just speculation on my part.

 

Unit 00 was the prototype, Unit 01 was the one they put the most effort into (cuz it was made from Lilith, not Adam). Unit 02 looks different I guess cuz it was made in another part of the world. Unit's 03 and 04 were both made in the US so they look alike. And units 05 - 12 were mass produced so they all look alike.

 

Adam was the one Kaji delivered. If you recall, in End Of Evangelion, they were plainning on using unit 01 as a substitue for Lilith just like Rei was a substitue for Lilith (She had Yui's boday and Lilith's soul.)

I believe that the test with unit 04 was sabotaged by Seele so that it couldn't break free and turn against them. They only used the S2 engine in the Mass Produced evas cuz they had no pilots or souls (They all used dummy plugs of Rei)

 

I think the Mass Production Evas used dummy plugs of Kowrou (forgive spelling) because if you look closely at the scene when the Evas are ejected from their transport planes, dummy plugs with his name wriiten on the side are slotted into them.

 

I didn't look that closely at it. All I saw was that it was a dummy plug.

 

It is Kaurou.

(forgive spelling)

 

I think one obvious way that the mass-produced Evas stand apart are: 1) no pilot; 2) have some sort of backpack which the wings can come out of and fold back into 3) all come equipped with Lances of Loginnus (sorry if I misspelled that) 4) can change head shape into heads of Reis. That's all I can think of at the moment. See ya!:anime:

 

Actually...

*spoiler alert*
There are as many mass-produced evas as there are Shinji's classmates, a friend tells me. I havent bothered confirming this myself though.

The 'lances' were more... bat'leth-esque weapons... true, one did get twisted into a Lance of Longingus style weapon via Unit 02s AT field, but thats it...

As for the head changing bit, that wasnt really a feature, more a side affect of 3rd impact...

*/spoiler alert*

 

Hmm, looks like you're right about the battle swords.

Weird. Just another unexplained Eva moment!

As for Ayanami's face, it could also have been from Rei merging with Adam... will we ever know? Probably not.

 

... Just a theory, for as always anno liked keeping us thinking, There was alot of hidden truths or just plain lies between what personnel & head figures in both NERV & SEELE, for Misato was told that the angel in DOGMA was Adam... but it turns out later to be Lilith, which also proves that units 00 & 01 are lilith for how could Gendo make Adam clones without Adam? It also goes with the hidden truth that if Adam comes in contact with Lilith it would initiate a third impact... Misato said this to Gendo as Rei was sent down to get the lance of longinus, yet again it was a clone of Lilith not Adam. As for unit 02 being Adam or Lilith, im not sure & may lean towards it being Adam for the unit came along with Adam's embryo both delivered by Kaji. As for the s2 engines... the data was still there but SEELE could have possibly sabotaged the tests afterwards so Gendo wouldnt know about it & not go through with instaling it into unit 01, for they were troubled when unit 01 consumed the s2 organ instead... Seeing as the data was still with SEELE they could go through with there plans to produce they mass produced Eva's (i call them the Sephirothic eva's for they formed out the Sephirothic table) & they have the wings possibly just as an experiment to add more human technology to them for unit 03 had extending arms whilst the previous units did not, for they were just farting about to see what combat abilities they could bring into it & as Fuyutski suggested in EoE they changed there faces because they were trying to merge with Lilith & they were all Adam clones for they were made in the places that SEELE had true control over & SEELE origenally had Adam... they all look alike because they were mass produced as someone said & they didnt have enough money to progress with designs & they were kinda rushed after unit 01 did it's cannibal thing

All that & just merely theories... meh

 

I really don't think Unit 00 was made from Lilith... and them looking the same was probably nothing to do with money.

I think SEELE already had Adam, and used it for Unit 00 and the prototypes before it, but Gendo wanted it for his own purposes... I'll think about it, though.

 

The thing Kaji delivered was Adam. Gendo had it on his hand, which is why he was joining with Rei before she reblled against him and joined with the original Lilith.

 

The Eva Units...hmm...OK, this is what I know about them:

-Unit 04
Model: S^2 Engine Prototype
Eye Configuration: 2

-The armor on the Evas, as stated by Ritsuko Akagi, is not armor, but bindings that allow NERV to subdue and control the true power of the Evangelion.
-Unit 03 and 04 are almost identical because they were both designed and manufactured in the United States. This is why they are different from Unit 02, which was designed and fabricated in Japan, but built in Germany.
-The MP Evas all contain S^2 Engines and personal flight systems (wings).
-The weapons used in 'End of Eva' by the MP Evas are copies of the Lance. They look like swords, but later morph into greyish copies of the Lance and share the same ability to penetrate AT Fields and twist into a spear.
-All Evas have cores, which is seen when the 16th Angel 'fused' with Unit 00. They are where the souls are supposedly contained. They are NOT S^2 Engines, like what the Angels have. Only Unit 01 (after the battle with the 14th Angel) and the MP Evas have them.

 

Interesting... partially wrong... but interesting none-the-less, i would have believed it more if you didnt get Unit 02's eye configuration wrong. Care to show us the link to your source? & there is no definate proof that Naoko is the definate soul of Unit 00

 

Well she only says about the armour/bindings thing because Unit 01 was the only one that kinda broke free... Unit 02 did sorta, but only because it was picked to bits, so doesnt really count
